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 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."

Mangaluru, July 23: Lavanya Ballal, national co-coordinator for social media department of Indian National Congress, has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of destroying the nation by misleading the youth.

In an interview with a regional Kannada news paper, the Dakshina Kannada based activist, lamented that instead of using social media for the welfare of the nation, BJP leaders used it to spread lies for their political gains. 

On one hand BJP fooled people through false promises and colourful dialogues, while on the other hand it misled crores of youth by spreading fake news, twisted facts and false information, she said.

Ms Ballal went on to accuse BJP of following the footsteps of the British. “BJP is following all the methods employed by the British invaders to divide the people of India and make them hate each other,” she said.

She said that Congress always used the social media for the benefit of the country. If the new generation realises this fact, the country will once again turn its direction towards development, she asserted.

Bengaluru, Feb 23: Bolstered by the Supreme Court's interim nod for the gazette notification of the Mahadayi Water Dispute Tribunal award by the Central government, Karnataka decided to allot funds for the drinking water project in the state's northwest region, an official said on Saturday.

"Funds will be allotted in the state budget for fiscal 2020-21 to complete the Kalasa-Banduri project across the Mahadayi river for supplying drinking water to the four drought-prone northern districts in the state," the official of the water resources department told media on anonymity.

As Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa also holds the finance portfolio, he has agreed to allocate funds for the project, held up for years in the legal battle with the neighbouring Goa and Maharashtra over the sharing of the river water among the three coastal states.

Yediyurappa is slated to present the state budget for the ensuing fiscal in the legislative assembly on March 2.

"We will resume the project work once the Centre notifies the award though it will be binding on the final outcome of the apex court's hearing the review petitions of Goa and Maharashtra against the Tribunal award," the official noted.

A division bench of Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Hemant Gupta on Thursday passed an interim order on the Tribunal award, allowing the central water resources ministry to notify it for implementation and posted the case for final hearing in July.

The Tribunal on August 14, 2018 allocated 13.42 thousand million cubic feet (tmcft) of the river water to the southern state for irrigation and drinking water supply to towns and villages across Bagalkot, Belagavi, Dharwad and Gadag districts, which are in the arid region of the Deccan plateau.

The four districts are about 400-550 km northwest of Bengaluru in the southern state.

Of the 13.42 tmcft water, 5.5 tmcft will be used in the river basin and for diversion into the depleted Malaprabha reservoir while the balance 7.92 tmcft will be utilized for hydel power generation instead of allowing the water to go into the Arabian Sea on the state's west coast through Goa.

Goa, which opposed Karnataka's demand for 36.66 tmcft, was allocated 24 tmcft, while Maharashtra got 1.3 tmcft.

The Tribunal assessed that 188.06 tmc feet water is available at 75 per cent dependability.

The three-member Tribunal is headed by Chairman Justice J.M. Panchal, Justice Viney Mittal and Justice P.S. Naayana.

The Union government had set up the inter-state Tribunal on November 16, 2010 for the djudication of the Mahadayi basin water allocation among the three riparian and contiguous states.

Goa and Maharashtra claimed 122.6 tmc feet and 6.35 tmc feet of the river water respectively.

The Tribunal, which commenced sittings on September 6, 2012, held 1,209 sittings for over 6 years.

Supreme Court senior counsel F.S. Nariman represented the state before the Tribunal to present its case.

The Tribunal's chairman and two members inspected the river basin area across the three coastal states from December 12-24, 2013.

The 77km-long Mahadayi or Mandovi river originates at Bhimgad in the Western Ghats in Belagavi district and flows into the neighbouring Goa through Maharashtra and joins the Arabian Sea off the west coast.

Though the river flows 29 km in Karnataka and 52 km in Goa, its catchment area is spread over 2,032 km in the southern state as against 1,580 km in the western state (Goa).

Bengaluru, Jul 30: As the protest by Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers entered the 20th day, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday assured them that he would take up their demands with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.

The ASHA workers are sitting in protests with a number of demands that include a minimum salary of Rs 12,000 per month.

Assuring that their matter will be taken up, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu said while speaking to reporters, "We know how hard ASHA workers have been working as frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19. I will discuss with CM about their demand for a minimum wage of Rs 12,000 per month and the final decision will be taken soon."

"We went to the police to allow us to protest. Officials then took us to the CM. During the meeting, he demanded some time to sort out our issues. 

We told him we are protesting for the past 20 days and that it was he who needs to call a meeting with us. Only then will he know the problems being faced by ASHA workers," an ASHA worker said clad in her signature pink sari.

"When asked as to why salaries of ASHA workers were not hiked, while it was done for doctors and other healthcare officials, the CM requested for time to look into the matter. 

We are not much happy now, but will if he comes in front of the media and promises to sort out our issues, then we will listen to him", she added.
