Mangaluru, May 15: In the wake of growing heatwave and acute water shortage in the region, a group of Muslims offered special prayers in Mangaluru today, seeking rain and prosperity.

A considerable number of women also took part in the Salat-al-Istisqa held at Nehru Maidan, in the heart of the city under the open sky. The arrangements were made by the local unit of South Karnataka Salafi Movement (SKSM).

Muhammad Shaikh Saqib Saleem al Umri, the Khateeb of Kudroli Salafi mosque, led the prayers and delivered sermon highlighting the significance of water.

Many of the devotees were found weeping while offering prayers seeking forgiveness for their sins and pleading for rains.

The Salat-al-Istisqa is a way to humble oneself before the Creator of the universe and seek forgiveness so that the rains descend. “It is a special namaz and Muslim ummah is guided to offer it when there is great scarcity of water and hope of rain dwindles,” said the Khateeb.

Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyasa Kamath was present at the prayer venue.

Dear Vadood,

I have faith & trust in our god, so i know it will rain in June, july, aug.. But do you have faith & trust in your god?

it seems you are doubting that he will not send rains so you need to pray...As God has created everything he knows well what to do when & where. He doesnt need your prayers to do that. He is not a small child who needs to be reminded again and again that he has to send rains.

Dear Vadood,

I have faith & trust in our god, so i know it will rain in June, july, aug.. But do you have faith & trust in your god?

Dear Suresh

What will happen if it does not rain in June??

Dear Suresh,

You might be aware of farmers and citizens suffer due to drought in the state

Cheap mentality

Every year it rains from June to oct even if they dont pray.

News Network

January 21,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 21: A massive protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and National Population Register (NPR) was witnessed at Shivajinagar's Chandni Chowk area on Tuesday.

Scores of people came together carrying national flags and placards to register their protest in the city.

Speaking to ANI, a protester said, "People of all religious community have assembled here in Chandni Chowk to protest against CAA, NRC, and NPR. We the people of India are against this law."

Terming the law as anti-constitutional, he said that we support all the states who oppose the CAA. We demand the revocation of CAA and the government should remove conditions in NPR which lead to NRC.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

3 held for attack on ASHA worker in Bengaluru

News Network

April 2,2020

Bengaluru, April 2: At least three people have been arrested by police in connection with the attack on ASHA worker Krishnaveni in Bengaluru's Byatarayanapura area.

Earlier in the day, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao said that an investigation was initiated into the incident in which ASHA workers were attacked.

"I have appointed Pulikeshi Nagar ACP, Tabarak Fathima, to investigate the matter. A case will be registered and action will be taken. ASHA workers will be protected by the police to carry out their functions," Rao told ANI here.

Earlier, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwath Narayan visited one of the ASHA workers who was allegedly attacked by unidentified miscreants and termed the incident as "completely demoralising" for the workers.

ASHA workers, who were deployed to spread awareness about coronavirus and identify suspected cases, were allegedly attacked by a group of locals in Byatarayanapura here on Wednesday.

The workers said that the locals did not allow them to work and around 100 people gathered at the spot and harassed them.

This comes as the country is under a 21-day lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
