Mangalore, October 17: The state government should apologise Peoples Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasir Madani, who is lodged in Bangalore Central Jail since past 14 months, and release him immediately and unconditionally, said 'Dalit Voice' editor V T Rajshekhar.

He was speaking after inaugurating Human Rights Protection conference demanding the release of Madani, organised by Karnataka Justice Forum here on Sunday.

Mr Shetty said that Madani was put behind bars only for political reasons although Karnataka police did not have any evidence to confirm the allegations against him.

Frustrated by the brutality of Brahminist oppression, Madani had waged a real 'Jihad'. In order to curb his democratic struggle, Brahminist minds joined their hands to send him to prison once again through false and baseless allegations, Mr Rajshekhar said.

He said that the act of BJP led Karnataka government to re arrest a person who was acquitted by court after spending nine long years in Coimbatore Central Prison for a crime not committed by him, is apparent violation of human rights. “The silence of Supreme Court, which was supposed to intervene in this matter, is also disheartening”, he added.

Stating that thousands of Muslims across the country have been subjected to violence and atrocity, the veteran journalist lamented that except in Jammu and Kashmir, Indian Muslims have failed to show resistance against the injustice. “Irony is that Gujarati Muslims are now supporting chief minister Narendra Modi, who is responsible for the killing of thousands of Muslims in 2002 riots”, he said.

If the people continued their silence over Madani's arrest, many Muslims in this country may face the fate of Madani, he warned.

Alhadi Ibrahim Thangal presided over the programme. Karnataka Komu Sauharda Vedike secretary K L Ashok, PDP working secretary Swami Varkalraj Thiruvananthapuram and PFI Karnataka branch president Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe were present among others.

Bengaluru, May 31: With places of worship expected to reopen on June 8, the Karnataka State Minorities Commission has released guidelines for mosques and dargahs, that include social distancing, temperature testing and compulsory hand washing.

Abdul Azeem, commission chairman said, "Everyone will have to maintain one-metre distance and carry their prayer mats. They will all be scanned and Farz prayers will be held for 10-15 minutes. Friday prayers should be completed within 20 minutes."

Distribution of tabarukh, shaking hands, and overcrowding inside mosques will not be allowed.  The Muzrai department also issued guidelines for temples, like mandatory face masks, sanitisation of sanctum sanctorum and thermal screening.

In a letter, the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowment Department mentioned that while temple authorities and devotees should wear masks, priests, helpers and workers are exempt, in the core area of the temple.

"Devotees should be scanned using infrared thermometers at the temple entrance, and must be given hand sanitiser. The temple trust is expected to bear the expenses," it added.
