Bengaluru, Oct 23: Masjid-e-Askari, a famous Shia mosque located near Johnson Market in Bengaluru, not only allowed demolition of its compound wall to facilitate the widening of Hosur Road but also handed over 1000 sq ft of its land to the BBMP as per request.

Mir Ali Jawad, the president of the Masjid-E-Askari and Shia Graveyard Managing Committee, said: "The compound wall of the mosque was causing a lot of problems for traffic moving between Brigade Road and Hosur Road. For the common good and to help the public, we have demolished the wall to ease traffic on the road."

The committee has already parted with 4,000 sq ft of graveyard land. "With the portion of the mosque given today, we have given 5,000 sq ft for the road-widening," Jawad added.

At a function held for a formal handover of the land and for demolishing the mosque wall on Sunday, Mayor R Sampath Raj welcomed the decision of Shia Muslims to part with the land of the mosque. The BBMP began the demolition of the wall in the presence of the mayor and the local MLA, N A Harris.

"This is one of the major roads in the city and lakhs of commuters use it every day. After the road-widening, the traffic congestion will be reduced to a great extent. We greatly appreciate this gesture of the committee," Sampath Raj said.

Jawad said: "We requested the BBMP to name Vellara Junction after Sir Mirza Ismail who was a great administrator and had contributed greatly to the beautification of Bengaluru." He added that they also requested for naming the upcoming metro station near Vellara Junction after Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad. "The committee's application for transferable development right (TDR) is in progress. We have requested the BBMP to push this to the higher authorities," Jawad said.

Dear Yogesh / Shiva,

 

it is better to pray to the CREATOR rather than living like the demon from where the character JEALOUSY comes... Recognize your TRUE LORD and worship him alone not the Stones which is LIFELESS and cannot harm or Benefit anybody... Use your God given intellect and try to find who is our CREATOR, who is worthy of WORSHIP rather than finding faults in Others... We should look at the positive where it is made easy for the Public and God loves those who do good. It is the mercy of God that people like you spread Hatred by following your devil worshiper leaders who alwz look with the eye of DEMONs. At least follow NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI - (There is no image of God)

Bengaluru,  Mar 26: The nationwide lockdown in the view of coronavirus outbreak has driven some people to the edge. In Karnataka, within less than 24 hours, two cases of people creating trouble for police personnel have come to light.

On Wednesday, a middle-aged man was shot in his leg by the police after he tried to assault two police constables of Sanjaynagar police station. The police constables were identified as Manjunatha and Basavararaju.
The accused reportedly breached the check post at Bhoopasandra. He and his friends were over-speeding and performing stunts on bikes. When the policemen tried to secure them after giving them a chase, they attacked the cops.

When they were taken into custody, one of them again tried to escape and hurled stones and bricks on the cops. In order to prevent further assault, the police then fired two rounds – one in the air and the second one on his left leg.

Hubli, Feb 24: Pro-Pakistan slogans were found written on the walls and doors of Higher Primary School in Budarsingi village here on Monday, said Raman Gouda Hatti, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), DCRB, Dharwad.

"The headmaster of the school noticed the slogans written on the walls and doors by chalk and he informed us. We will investigate the matter based on the complaint," said DSP Hatti.

The slogans were written in the Kannada language. Those behind the incident have not been identified so far.

The villagers staged a protest demanding action against those behind the act.

Congress leader HK Patil condemned the incident and asked for culprits to be identified and punished soon.

"Anti-social elements are involved in these acts. The government has failed to identify these people and punish them. The culprits behind this act need to be identified and punished. This incident is unfortunate and the intelligence department should work to stop these kinds of incidents," said Patil.

Bellari, Feb 23: Fringe outfit Sri Ram Sena leader Sanjeev Maradi said on Friday said that organization will reward Rs 10 lakh to the person who will 'eliminate' those who have raised "pro-Pakistan" slogans including Amulya who recently raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan at an anti-CAA protest in Bengaluru.

"We request both state and central government not to release them (Pro-Pakistan sloganeers) on bail. If they will be released Sri Ram Sena will eliminate them or will give a reward of Rupees 10 lakh to those who kill them," said Sanjeev Maradi.

"We condemn such slogans. This is like a virus. First, it happened in Jammu and Kashmir, then in JNU, then Mysore and then a student named Amulya raised pro Pakistan slogan in Bengaluru," he added.

A girl named Amulya raised 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan on Thursday at an anti-CAA protest where AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also invited.

Thereafter, a case was registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against the student.

Meanwhile, Imran Pasha, the organizer of the anti-CAA protest said that Amulya was not invited to the event.

"We were the organizers of the event. At around 6:45 pm on Thursday, when I and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi were entering the stage area, we did not notice Amulya was present there. I did not invite her," Pasha told media.
