New Delhi, Nov 15: The government today decided to declare an NGO promoted by Islamic orator Dr Zakir Naik as an outlawed organisation under the anti-terror law for five years for its alleged terror activities.

Zakir-Naik-3

The decision has been taken at a meeting of the Union Cabinet presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Cabinet approved a proposal to declare Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) as an 'unlawful association' under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act for five years, a Home Ministry official said.

A formal notification will be issued by the Home Ministry soon. The move comes after investigation by the Home Ministry found the NGO was allegedly having dubious links with Peace TV, an international Islamic channel, accused of propagating terrorism, the official said.

According to the Home Ministry, Naik, who heads the IRF, has allegedly made many provocative speeches and engaged in terror propaganda.

Maharashtra Police has also registered criminal cases against Naik for his alleged involvement in radicalisation of youths and luring them into terror activities, officials said.

However, the government and security agencies have so far failed to openly produce any evidence for allegations made against Dr Zakir Naik, who has openly condemned all forms of terrorism.

An educational trust run by Naik have already been prevented from receiving foreign funds and agencies are looking into their activities.

He came under the scanner of the security agencies after Bangladeshi newspaper 'Daily Star' reported that one of the perpetrators of the July 1 terror attack in Dhaka, Rohan Imtiaz, ran propaganda on Facebook last year quoting Naik.

Why the BD, VHP RSS all these are not banned. They are openly making provocative speaches. Mr. Zakir Naik has never done provocative speaches. But the people like thogadia and many more are creating lot of tensions among people. This also should be equally done.

After 9/11 many reverted to Islam, the same will happen now.

No evidence is produced so far, It is not possible because, he speaks very carefully the truth, that is also without hurting others.
This is their BIASED ruling, they can do anything. Now all specially Hindus will start studying ISLAM and will accept it.

\And the disbelievers planned, but Allah planned. Allah is the best of Planners\" Holy Quran: 3:54

I request entire believers not to be panic, everything is moving as per Allah's direction.

Please don't spread rumors, don't be a part of any unlawful activities, don't be panic. Please help the needy irrespective of caste and creed, give your best for the sake of Allah. Whoever does corruption on the face of earth for him a great torment of Allah is waiting. This is Allah's promise. Ya Allah protect your believing slaves from all types of tests & trials, give us patience, give us the strength to face the trials of this world, Aameen. Please make dua for entire believing brothers and sisters of this world."

This is one of the scripted hidden agenda of the communal govt. which was fabricated through Dhaka blast to reach this day. VHP and RSS are two giant terrorist organizations getting foreign funds to create instabilities still at large for years.
Insha Allah IRF will fight legal battle to overcome it.

Bengaluru, Jul 5: In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and the fear of layoffs lurking everywhere, the state government is holding a first-of-its-kind virtual job fair on July 10, to help people find jobs commensurate with their skill sets.

Co-ordinated by the Karnataka Skill Development Corporation (KSDC), the job fair will see participation of more than 40 companies for about 6,000 job openings.

The government will connect companies with job seekers who have registered on the recently-launched Skill Connect portal or on the Kaushalya Karnataka’s portal for migrant workers from the state who have returned home.

A candidate can either directly apply to a company, or await the portal to match their skills with available jobs. There is also a self-evaluation section on the website which will suggest whether a candidate needs to further skill oneself or whether they are eligible for jobs with their current set of skills. 

Firms such as Life Insurance Corporation, Barbeque Nation and Arvind Mills are among the participants.

Mangaluru, Apr 23: Muslims in coastal Karnataka will fast tomorrow (April 24) along with Middle Eastern Muslims as the Khazis in the region have confirmed the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan tonight.

Religious authorities in Saudi Arabia and a few Middle Eastern countries have already declared that Friday will be the start of the month of fasting.

In Kerala and twin districts of coastal Karnataka - Dakshina Kannada and Udupi- the announcement was made following maghrib praers as the cresent moon was sighted in a few places in Kerala.

The Thakbeer was pronounced from the minarets of the mosques across Dakshina Kannada and Udupi after Maghrib Namaz as the religious heads confirmed the moon sighting. 

However, the religious heads including Mangaluru Khazi Twaqa Ahmed Musliar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, have urged the Muslims to offer all the prayers including Taraveeh at homes along with family members due to the lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus. 

There will be no congregational taraveeh prayers in mosques and Muslims should follow the covid-19 guidelines of the government, they stated.

Ramadan begins around 11 days earlier each year. Its start is calculated based on the sighting of the new moon, which marks the beginning of the Muslim lunar month that varies between 29 or 30 days.

During the month, Muslims are expected to abstain during daylight hours from food, drink, smoking and sex to focus on spirituality.

How it is possible that only Kerala people can witness the moon? 

 

Can they come forward in Media and give Shahaadah, why the other parts of India will not follow.
