Muslims should bury their differences and unite: P B D’Sa

Mangaluru, Oct 13: P B D’Sa, national vice-president of People's Union for Civil Liberties has called upon the Muslims to bury their internal differences and unite when their community faces external threats.

He was addressing a protest meet organised by an outfit called ‘Dakshina Kannada Muslim Sanghatanegala Okkoota’ at Nehru Maidan in the city on Friday afternoon against the desecration of Quran allegedly committed by the policemen during a raid on the house of a murder accused in Bantwal taluk over a month ago.

He said that even though policemen have rubbished the allegation and argued that the family members of the accused or a newspaper reporter might have desecrated Quran to divert attention, their claim is far from truth. “In my five decade long struggle in the field of human rights I have realised that the policemen always tell blatant lies,” he said.

Moulana Zafar Sadiq Faizi, state general secretary of Imams' Council, said that Muslim community in Dakshina Kannada has been targeted for the faults of others. He said that in the name of investigation the police are harassing innocent Muslims. On the other hand the elected representatives are also ignoring the Muslim community, he said.

“In Bantwal Quran desecration case, we submitted a memorandum to the district in-charge minister, the home minister and the chief minister seeking justice. But, they did not do anything except giving assurances,” he added.

Yaqoob Sa’adi, DK district president of SSF, said that the condemnable action of police and silence of politicians forced them to stage a protest.

Okkoota president and former Managluru Mayor K Ashraf said that they would continue the agitation until those insulted Quran get arrested. Suhail Kandak, Ashraf Kinara, Hameed Kandak, Hameed Kudroli were present among others.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Karnataka government has issued a show-cause notice to 18 private hospitals for refusing to admit a 52-year-old patient with influenza-like illness (ILI) symptoms, who later died.

According to the notice dated on June 30, a 52-years patient named Bhawarlal Sujani died after he was denied admission by 18 private hospitals.

The patient was taken to these hospitals on Saturday and Sunday for admission on observing some ILI like symptoms. But none of these hospitals admitted in on the pretext of unavailability of bed/ventilators, read the notice.

This is a clear violation of providing medical assistance and admission necessitated under the agreed provision of KPME Registration. They should strictly adhere to the provisions under Sections 11 & 11 A of KPME Act 2017. Private Medical Establishments cannot deny/ refuse/ avoid treatment to patients with Covid-19 and Covid-19 like symptoms, the state Health Department said.

By denying the admission to the deceased patient, your hospitals have violated the provisions of the above-said act. You are liable for legal action in this regard, as per the notice.

The state Health department asked the hospitals to reply as to why action should not be initiated under the relevant Acts.

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

 

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first.    There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI.    BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations.    BJP is doing propoganda only.   Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis.   We should ban them first.
