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.

Newsroom, May 22: Countless netizens including Indians have hailed the action taken by Jazan University of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against a high-ranking Indian expatriate who had posted called Indian Muslims as radicals.  

Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook flooded with appreciation after the University announced on Twitter that the professor, who had posted objectionable messsages, had been fired. The university, however, did not disclose the name of the professor. 

On its Twitter account, Jazan University wrote, “Based on what was monitored by the university about the publication of a contracted faculty member for offensive posts and tweets, his registration has already been folded. #JazanUniversity affirms that it resolutely addresses any perverted or extremist ideas that affect the constants or violate the directions of good leadership.”

After the university’s announcement, many on Twitter posted screenshots of the communal tweets claiming that the professor is Neeraj Bedi and made it clear that the dismissed professor is an Indian.

Bedi has been working as full time Professor in Faculty of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in Jazan University for years.

In his Twitter account, which does not currently exist, he was praising PM Modi and spewing poison against Islam and holding Muslims responsible for the spread of Coronavirus. It is believed that the account was deleted after the protests became severe.
