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.

The world laughs at you Jockers.. Zakir Naik and his followers have intelligence bankruptcy, they have no brains for critical thinking just follow the Idiot like herd of sheep. His arguments have very shallow thinking, he can't even debate with people like Tarek Fatah or Taslima Nasreen. Loser..

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

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/Bengaluru, Jan 23: A day after two senior functionaries of the BJP — a deputy chief minister and a political secretary to the chief minister — made provocative speeches against a minority community, Nalin Kumar Kateel, state president of the saffron party, on Wednesday issued a gag order, banning functionaries from talking on issues without the party’s approval.

Deputy CM Govind Karjol and Honnalli legislator MP Renukacharya had passed comments castigating Muslims, in the process seriously denting the image of the party which is trying to avoid controversies in its efforts to allay fears on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. The comments come on the heels of Ballari City legislator Somashekara Reddy warning Muslims at a pro-CAA rally of repercussions if they do not fall in line.

Kateel said a gag order has been “clearly” communicated to all concerned at a recent meeting that he and chief minister BS Yediyurappa had chaired. “Our message to party functionaries is in line with what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told his council of ministers and party MPs — to focus on their work and constituencies rather than comment on issues. Let them leave this task to official spokespersons of the party,” Kateel said.

However, it appears the message hasn’t gone through to Renukacharya, Yediyurappa’s political secretary. A day after courting controversy by saying anti-nationals were using mosques to store weapons, Renukacharya said he stood by his comments and launched a fresh tirade against madrasas, saying they were manipulating youth and encouraging terrorism.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Renukacharya said: “In our [temple-run] institutions, nothing anti-national is taught. We only teach values that are mandated for life. But at madrasas, youth are manipulated by teaching terrorism. Why do we need such schools? The majority of those accused of terrorism are Muslims.”

He immediately followed up this comment by saying he did not imply all Muslims were terrorists. The Honnalli MLA justified his comments saying he did not receive a single Muslim vote in the 2018 assembly elections. “They [Muslims] come to us seeking our help. They want the BJP for development, but when it comes to elections, they vote for Congress and JD(S),” Renukacharya said. He said no “special packages” will be distributed to Muslims in his constituency.

These parties and his ministers having nothing to do in the name of governance. Only divide society and preach hatred. Did he mention anything about the inflation, vegetable prices, there are many. Cheap politics I urge every Indian to open up your eyes and mind. This politician whichever party they belong we have appointed them to benefit us. Instead of that they are benefitting from us and are using us for their gains.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
