Mangaluru, Oct 27: Former Union Minister B Janrdhana Poojary, who has created a record in Dakshina Kannada by losing the Lok Sabha polls for five times, this time has openly endorsed the demand of Muslim Central Committee that Congress should field a Muslim candidate from this constituency.

The 81-year-old Congress veteran, who is suffering from multiple ailments, recently had stated that he would not hesitate o contest the 2019 polls from Dakshina Kannada if high command wills. However, in a U-turn, he stated that the Congress should not ignore the demand of the Muslims.

The U-turn comes days after a meeting of the Muslim Central Committee resolved to urge the Congress to field a Muslim candidate from Dakshina Kannada parliamentary constituency in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. It also decided to constitute an action committee to submit a memorandum to the Congress, and to rope in influential ministers such as U T Khader and B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, to prevail upon the party on this issue.

“I wholeheartedly endorse their demand. They should continue to pressurise the party high command. I am with them,” Mr Poojary was quoted as saying by a Kannada news paper.

He also said that Muslims have been demanding ticket since 2009 Lok Sabha polls when he was given the ticket. “In last Lok Sabha polls (2014) too they wanted ticket. But they could not get as I was chosen for the ticket through internal polls. Now it’s time for them to intensify their struggle,” he said.

This is Janardhana Poojary’s Raama Bana against B Ramanath Rai who was aspiring for the ticket in 2019. “Yank ijjanadala malla ijji. Aa banteg thikkere balli...” this is his poojary’s mindset.

Now this Poojary’s sole intention is defeating Congress in Dakshina Kannada to prove that last five defeats were not his defeat but the party’s defeats.

Mangaluru, Jul 31: Muslims across coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada today observed Eid al Adha following the safety guidelines issued by the government amidst covid-19 pandemic. 

While coastal Karnataka is celebrating the festival of sacrifice today, it will be observed in other parts of Karnataka and country tomorrow. 

Congregational Eid prayers were held in many mosques while ensuring physical distancing norms. Only 50 devotees were allowed in mosques. Children below 10 years of age and elders above 60 years of age weren’t allowed. 

Eidgahs in the region wore a deserted look as the government has temporarily prohibited prayers in the open grounds. The Eidgah at Lighthouse Hill in Mangaluru, which usually witnessed huge crowd during Eid celebrations, was also closed this time. 

As expected, the celebration this time was a low key thanks to the restrictions placed in tune with the threat of coronavirus infection.

Prayers were held in Kudroli’s Nadupalli and Bundar’s Zeenat Bakhsh Central mosque. All those who entered mosque were wearing masks. 

In Udupi city, Eid prayers were held at Jamia Masjid and other mosques with limited number of devotees. In Bhatkal took some of the mosques hosted Eid prayers with all precautionary measures.
