Mangaluru, Nov 12: The leaders of Muslim community in the coastal city of Mangaluru including religious heads have unanimously condemned the offensive social media post on the demise of BJP veteran and union minister Ananth Kumar.

Hours after the death of the minister, a Facebook page titled ‘Mangalore Muslims’ termed Ananth Kumar as a “communal” and “Brahmin conspirator”. It went on to say that he should not take a rebirth to destroy this country again. The Mangaluru South Police have registered a case against the unknown admin of the Facebook page over the post.

Within minutes, the distasteful post received hundreds of critical comments from different sections of society including Muslims who felt that the page has been run by some miscreants with the sole intention of defaming Muslims of Mangaluru and triggering anti-Muslim sentiments in the society.

Besides, local representatives of religious organisations of Muslims such as Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Jamiyyathul Ulama, Imams Council, Jamiat Ahle Hadith etc have urged the police to trace and arrest the admin of the Facebook page.

“This is not the first time the ‘Mangalore Muslims’ Facebook page posting ugly and communally provocative message. It has been constantly trying to defame Muslims in general and Muslims of Mangaluru in particular through provocative messages and memes in the name of Muslims,” commented one Anis Ahmed from Mangaluru.

“The ‘Mangalore Muslims’ Facebook should change its name as ‘Mangalore anti-Muslims’, because no Muslim can curse the dead. Speaking ill of the dead is not our culture. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has taught Muslims to talk good or remain silent,” stated Saiful Islam, another commenter from Mangaluru.

Wat dodanna said is correct, but i want to add some points too. There are many chaddi groups which are continuously spreading hatred against one or two religions! I request Mangalore administration to look into all such groups (both side) and ban those groups!! In short i want to see Facebook itself getting banned in Mangalore!! We can leave in peace if this thing gets banned!

No muslim will give bad comment on any dead person.  I am sure that bad comments by Mangalore Muslims facebook admin is created by anti nationals to defame Muslims.   I am also sure that this face book account is established by same group who are behind creating Indian mujahideen, love jihad etc which are totally false and do not exist in reality.   These are only imaginery organisation created by anti Muslims and anti Indians.   Police should catch the real admin of Mangalore Muslims facebook account and do not arrest innocents just to fill the blank.   Strict action should be taken against the culprits.   In the meantime, i extend my heartfelt condolence to the family of deceased Anant Kumar.    None should have right to criticise any dead person.

If the dept neglect then such incidents will repeat again n again.

It is not accepted.

10 members of the Board cast their votes in the election held to the top post today at its office in the city. While Dr Yusuf, who was backed by the Congress, secured six votes, K N M Shafi Sa’adi, who was backed by the BJP, secured only 4 votes.

Flanked by Congress MLA Tanveer Sait and Minorities Welfare Dept secretary A B Ibrahim, Dr Yusuf vowed to strive hard to make the Board an example for the entire country. 

74-year-old Dr Yusuf had held the post more than once in the past. A veterinarian, Dr Yusuf had quit the government job and set up business in Bengaluru and Dubai decades ago and has earned considerable success.

Bengaluru, Jan 15: The on-going process to select a new Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president is likely to drag on for few more days with former CM and opposition leader Siddaramaiah making a strong pitch for former minister MB Patil over DK Shivakumar for the post.

Siddaramaiah, who met AICC president Sonia Gandhi and other senior Congress leaders in New Delhi on Tuesday, reportedly argued in favour of Patil, saying his elevation would help the party win Lingayats to the fold.

“Yediyurappa, the undisputed leader of the Lingayat community, is almost at the end of his career and it is an opportunity for the Congress to gain the confidence of the community. Being a leader from North Karnataka, Patil fits the bill perfectly,” Siddaramaiah reportedly told Sonia.

Siddaramaiah is said to be backing Patil over Shivakumar as he is worried about losing his hold over the state unit, given Shivakumar’s popularity. While Sonia did give the former CM a patient hearing, she is said to have told him that he should obey and cooperate with whatever decision high command takes.

The high command is looking to evolve consensus on the new state president. “Sonia’s meeting with Siddaramaiah is part of this exercise. She wants to keep everybody in the loop,” said a functionary.

Siddaramaiah also met senior leaders Ahmed Patel and AK Anthony. He is expected to meet former AICC president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday.

However, some including Mallikarjun Kharge and Shamanur Shivashankarappa have expressed reservations against Patil’s elevation, pointing to his role in the controversial separate Lingayat religion issue which dented the Congress’ prospects in the 2018 assembly polls.

“He has a very bad name among Lingayats and making him president would prove counter-productive. Moreover, it is difficult to win back Lingayats as long as Yediyurappa is active in politics,” said a senior Congress leader.

Another functionary said a majority of state functionaries — and even some in the high command — favour Shivakumar as he is not only “resourceful”, but also has momentum. “With HD Deve Gowda and HD Kumaraswamy losing popularity among Vokkaligas, the possibility of the community backing Shivakumar is high. This may land him the top job,” the functionary said.
