Stop propogating lies as RSS Do . Shimoga violence was ignited by RSS at the end of the rally tale where Women and children were moving along with ...all of a sudden RSS started pelted stones using abusive words which was leaked one of RSS goons video clips....dont play with lies ,,by which you will end up life like Hitler

JAI PFI....and Mr.Shafi Bellare clearly given statement that we have nothing to do with such incident

SayYes to PEACE and INTEGRITY and ISayNo to Lies, Drama to smritiirani and Communal Violence Mastermind is narendramodi

we want safety n security frm daily communal violence,punishment to rioters n rapists

Well modi took us down the wrong path. A path littered with hate, communal violence, intolerance

We need #Azaadi from political pressure groups that instigate communal violence for their own ulterior motives.

I do not support BJP because of their communal politics. I do not support CPM because of their politics of violence:

This is a case of inciting violence and disrupting communal harmony. Pretty sure there are grounds for arrests.

Any Party take the advantage of the poor people for their gain, give respect to the life, Humanity,.

Majority communalism, dangerous in itself, becomes deadly when it becomes the official ideology of the state

RSS is National enemy within. For it Communal violence is not blood of fellow Indians, it is additional votes generated

You find religion in Bharat Mata Ki Jai. But No religion in Allah Hu Akbar during hate speaches and communal violence.

I can't say it often enough: Fascism IS violence. When anti-fascists respond with communal self-defense, it is a heroic action.

Despite of serious communal violence ignited by PFI in shimoga, they r given permission 2 hold rally in Mysuru today Ban PFI,a terrorist outfit

Peaceful Mysuru city is witnessing violence.

I am a strong advocate of non-violence. And it is sad that an RSS man was killed in Mysuru!

Politics even in death, these politicians play!

see goons !!!!

Home Minister and Police dept must take strict action against trouble maker first including the person and groups behind murder. And on groups like BD and their god father, no excuse straight away send them behind bar at least for 6 months.

With in SIX months, all we can experience permanent peace of life all over KARNATAKA.

Darul Uloom Deoband asks Muslims to offer Eid prayers at home

News Network

May 19,2020

Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh), May 19: Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa asking Muslims to offer their Eid prayers this time at home, instead of congregating at mosques.

The directive comes amid a nationwide lockdown to slow down the spread of coronavirus.

Despite the relaxations announced in the lockdown, religious and other large gatherings are still banned.

The fatwa was issued in response to a query put to the seminary, its spokesman Ashraf Usmani said.

The fatwa said the Eid namaz can be offered in the same manner that the Friday prayers are now being read at home.

It said not holding the namaz in the usual manner is pardonable in circumstances such as these.

Mosque to host Hindu couple’s marriage

News Network

January 4,2020

Alappuzha, Jan 4: The management committee of a mosque in Kerala is all set to solemnize the wedding of a Hindu couple, setting yet another instance of the communal harmony prevailing in Kerala.

The Cheravally Muslim Jamaat Committee at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in South Kerala is conducting the marriage of Anju and Sharath after the bride's mother approached the Jamaat authorities seeking help.

The marriage will be held at the mosque premises on January 19 as per Hindu rituals and the Jamaat Committee has also prepared the invitations.

Anju's father Ashokan died a few years back and her mother Bindhu was struggling to win bread for her three children. Nujumudeen Alummoottil, a businessman and secretary of the Jamaat had helped the family earlier also.

Hence Bindu sought his help for the marriage of Anju. Nujumudeen discussed it with other members of the Jamaat committee and members of the mosque.

Najumudeen said that there was no hesitation from anyone on conducting the marriage by the mosque at its premises. A gift in cash and gold would be also given to the couple.

Kerala recently witnessed a church allowing the Muslim believers who participated in an anti-CAA meet to offer namaz at the church premises and another church conducting a carol service with the youth of the parish dressed up in traditional Muslim attire.

Well educated, good decision makers , intelects and wise people are keralites.

Kerala is unique in India for cordial relation between different religions. However, this is not being digested by sanghis and are trying to build gulf between the communities. I am sure that people will not let theese anti national succeed in their wicked behaviour. This communal harmoney is a slap on the faces of enemies of society. Well done keralites. Salute to all of you.
