CITU, DYFI trying to gain political mileage from street vendors' issue'

June 29, 2011

Mangalore, June 29: Communist Party of India (CPI) led CITU and DYFI are playing a political gimmick by protesting against Mangalore City Corporation in the name of minority street vendors. They are not having any empathy with street vendors and are only trying to capitalize on the situation by protesting unconstitutionally, said Rahim Uchil, Honourary President, Mangaluru Alpa Sankhyaata Mattu Hindulida Beedi Badi Vyaparigala Sangha (R).

Addressing media persons here on Wednesday he said that protesting in front of MLA's house is nothing but a form of 'gundagiri' which will create more problems for the street vendors. He also blamed that in order to increase the number of protestors, CPI party is hiring people from Bijapur district who are not a part of this campaign.

This political group has collected the sum of Rs. 120 from each street vendor in order to continue their protest, he added.

Differentiating between street vendors and foot path vendors, he said that civic tiger squad is acting ruthlessly towards footpath vendors in which 90% of vendors belong to minority groups and their life has turned miserable.

However he admitted that the campaign of Civic Tiger cannot be questioned as they are working according to the law.

“Our organization had a discussion with district in charge minister and deputy commissioner, who have assured us to provide permanent solution for all our 40 street vendors (members of the organization) within two weeks and we have complete faith in the law and the constitution, said Rahim.

He also said that respecting the commitment made by the MCC, their organization has decided not to conduct any protest for next 10 days. “In case our demands are not met even after the deadline is over, then we will conduct the protest on the lines of Gandhian values”, he said.

President Ahmed Jamal, Secretary Riyaz Harekala and Joint Secretary Rakesh Thokottu were present at the meet.

Ramadan begins in Mangaluru, Udupi; no taraveeh in mosques

coastaldigest.com news network

April 23,2020

Mangaluru, Apr 23: Muslims in coastal Karnataka will fast tomorrow (April 24) along with Middle Eastern Muslims as the Khazis in the region have confirmed the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan tonight.

Religious authorities in Saudi Arabia and a few Middle Eastern countries have already declared that Friday will be the start of the month of fasting.

In Kerala and twin districts of coastal Karnataka - Dakshina Kannada and Udupi- the announcement was made following maghrib praers as the cresent moon was sighted in a few places in Kerala.

The Thakbeer was pronounced from the minarets of the mosques across Dakshina Kannada and Udupi after Maghrib Namaz as the religious heads confirmed the moon sighting.

However, the religious heads including Mangaluru Khazi Twaqa Ahmed Musliar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, have urged the Muslims to offer all the prayers including Taraveeh at homes along with family members due to the lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

There will be no congregational taraveeh prayers in mosques and Muslims should follow the covid-19 guidelines of the government, they stated.

Ramadan begins around 11 days earlier each year. Its start is calculated based on the sighting of the new moon, which marks the beginning of the Muslim lunar month that varies between 29 or 30 days.

During the month, Muslims are expected to abstain during daylight hours from food, drink, smoking and sex to focus on spirituality.

How it is possible that only Kerala people can witness the moon?

Can they come forward in Media and give Shahaadah, why the other parts of India will not follow.
