Mangaluru, Jul 15: Except a faction led by Kerala-based cleric AP Aboobacker Musliyar, representatives of most of the Muslim organisations in Dakshina Kananda on Friday took part in a protest meet organised by a district level forum of the Muslim organisations in Mangaluru against the ongoing vilification campaign against Dr Zakir Naik.

Addressing the hundreds of agitators, who had gathered in front of the office of deputy commissioner in the heart of the city, most of the speakers called the tirade against Dr Naik and other Muslim leaders and movements as an attempt to strip the minority community of its democratic rights by silencing its leaders.

One of the main speakers, Shafi Bellare, Secretary, Karnataka state unit of PFI, accused the central government for deliberately defaming Dr Naik as an attempt to prevent him from spreading the message of peace.

“By this, the government is also trying to intimidate other Islamic religious leaders and scholars,” he said.

Calling Dr Naik a peace loving person, who is respected by the peace lovers of all the communities and religions, the PFI leader lamented that the government and media seized the opportunity seized the opportunity provided by the militant attacks in Bangladesh to falsely project Mumbai-based orator as a person promoting terrorism.

He also accused media and hate-mongers of spreading doctors and edited videos of Dr Naik to create a negative opinion about him among the innocent people.

Haji Abdul Hameed Kandak, Vice President of Muslim Central Committee, demanded that the central government should immediately stop the smear campaign targeted against Dr Naik and warned of intensifying the agitation otherwise.

Muhammad Kunhi from Jama'at-e-Islami Hind, Isamaeel Shafi from South Karnataka Salafi Movement, Haji Abdul Latheef from Jameeathul Falah, Rafeeuddin Kudroli from Uniwef, Haneef Khan Kodaje from SDPI, former Mangaluru Mayor K Ashraf from Muslim Sanghatanegala Okkoota, Mustafa Kempi from Muslim Aikyata Vedike, Azeez Kundroli from Muslim Central Committee, Rafeeq Master from Talent Research Foundation, Umar UH from Muslim Lekhakara Sangha, Jafar Sadiq Faizi from All India Imam's Council, Zakariya Jokatte from Hidaya Foundation were among the guests.

AM Ataullah Jokatte, convenor, Zilla Muslim Sanghatanegala Vedike welcomed the gathering. Aslam Panajala of SIO proposed vote of thanks. Ashraf AK, Taufiq and Zahid compered the programme.

AP Musliyar is silent because he will get the BJP funds in Kerala to devide votes.

AP is busy in collecting fund from dargha, Faathiya, Maulood, AP Maala, protesting against Zakir Bhai and blowjob with RSS people.

AP Is not With Naik becaues Naki promotes wahabism islam which cannot be implemented in india...In India islam is spread through sufism ( But some people not accepting because they converted to islam after watching zaik naik speech)

Why naik is not debating with islamic scholor?..many islamic scholor invited him for debate but he is giving many excuse..if he debate then he is afraid truth will come out

Zakir Naik said : Terrorist is a person who terrorizes, He gave example as, A ROBBER sees a POLICEMEN , He is terrified.
For a Robber, Policemen is a Terrorist.
Inspector ANDRE is a TERRORIST for the UNDERWORLD.
Similarly HE SAID in his speech
FOR a robber, Policemen is terrorist. IN THIS CONTEXT
EVERY MUSLIM should be a terrorist to the ANTI SOCIAL Elements.
EVERY MUSLIM should be a terrorist to the ANTI SOCIAL Elements.
EVERY MUSLIM should be a terrorist to the ANTI SOCIAL Elements.

Whenever a Robber, a Rapist or a CRIMINAL sees a MUSLIM, He should be terrified.
Commonly the word terrorist means \A person who Terrorizes an innocent being\"
In this CONTEXT : No MUSLIM should ever be a TERRORIST....

NOW VIEW : TIMES NOW with ARNAB DECEPTION, Where U R are FOOLED for not VERIFYING the whole CONTEXT of what ZAKIR NAIK says.... Intelligent people understands and God loves them cos of their honesty. Arrogant unintelligent people never understand even if they are in suits and ties.... they love to please the devils with their LIES."

Bengaluru, Aug 4: Police barricades, yellow banners, walls with a fresh coat of paint and the sounds of bhajan mark parts of Ayodhya as the city awaits its big day Wednesday, when the first brick will be laid for the Ram temple.

Ayodhya is decked up for the bhoomi pujan that will be attended at the Ram Janmabhoomi by 175 people, who figure in a select guest list of seers and politicians topped by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Concerned over the spread of coronavirus, the authorities are encouraging others not to come to the temple town, asking them to mark the occasion by celebrating at their homes. The groundbreaking ceremony will be telecast live.

Roads leading to Ayodhya display hoardings with the picture of the proposed Ram temple and of Ram Lalla, the infant Ram, the deity now housed in a makeshift temple.

Around the town’s Hanumangarhi area – named after a well-known temple which Modi will visit on Wednesday – both police sirens and ‘bhajans’ in praise of Ram are heard.

Most of the shops in the locality wear a new look, with their fronts painted in bright yellow. A large number of policemen were deployed there on Tuesday. Some sat in the sweet shops, waiting for their next instructions.

Roads leading into the area are barricaded. Yards of yellow cloth and marigold garlands were being hung on poles.

Even on the day before the event, security checks on vehicles heading to Ayodhya begin from adjoining Barabanki district itself on the Lucknow-Ayodhya road. Policemen take down details, including mobile numbers of the travellers.

Senior Superintendent of Police Deepak Kumar said the focus of the force is on maintaining the Covid-19 protocol.

“So we are not going to allow any outsider to enter Ayodhya city,” he said. Prohibitory orders are also in force and not more than four people will be allowed to gather.

“The markets and shops will remain open but with strict adherence to the Covid protocol,” he said. Outsiders will be stopped from entering the city, but Ayodhya residents will be allowed in if they produce any identification document.

“We are also carrying out random checks on people living in Ayodhya to ensure that no outsiders are staying here,” he said.

The city’s temples and mosques will remain open, but no other religious event – except for the bhoomi pujan – will take place on Wednesday.

Pickets have been set up at sensitive points in the city.

Sub-inspector Ram Chandra Yadav and constables Avnish Kumar and Ankit Chaudhary man the Terhi Bazar Chauraha picket near the Ram Janmabhoomi site.

"We are here for the past some days, and were on duty on the Rakshabandhan day. Duty comes first and only after that come other things in life, like festivals," Yadav said.

Mayank Gupta, who runs a restaurant, was handing out food packets to policemen, his customers.

"For the last two months, I have been providing tiffin to them twice a day. There are around 100 policemen to whom I supply tiffin," Gupta said.

Kozhikode, Jun 9: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter Veena T is all set to marry DYFI National President and CPM state committee member PA Muhammad Riyas on June 15. Interestingly, it's the second marriage for both. 

Veena, the elder daughter of Pinarayi Vijayan and Kamala Vijayan, is an IT entrepreneur based in Bengaluru.

According to sources, the marriage will be a simple function in Thiruvananthapuram where only close relatives will participate. The marriage registration has already been done. 

"It's only a private affair of two individuals," Riyas told media persons, reluctant to divulge more details. 

The 44-year-old Muhammad Riyas started his political career with the Students Federation of India (SFI) and climbed up the rungs through DYFI. He had unsuccessfully contested against UDF's M K Raghavan from Kozhikode parliament constituency in 2009. 

The son of retired IPS officer P M Abdul Khadar, Riyas is the familiar face of the left in primetime TV discussions, strongly articulating the CPM stance. 

A law graduate, he had begun at the grassroots level and gradually worked his way up the ladder. 

His marriage to Dr Sameeha Saithalavi, a former syndicate member of Calicut University, happened in 2002. The couple separated in 2015 and they have two sons aged 10 and 13. 

The 40-plus Veena is MD of the IT firm Exalogic Solutions since 2014. 

Prior to that, she was the CEO of RT Technosoft, a Thiruvananthapuram-based company owned by NRI industrialist Ravi Pillai. Before that, she had a six-year stint with Oracle. She has a son from her first marriage. 

"They both were divorced for more than five years. They knew each other and the marriage decision was taken by them only. It's completely a private affair," said a DYFI leader.
