BJP Govt's move to introduce separate textbook in Sunni Madrasas sparks protest

November 20, 2011

Mangalore, November 20: Hundreds of Sunnis, most of them belonging to EK group, on Saturday staged a protest in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner here, against the alleged government interference in Madrasa education in Karnataka.

The protest was organised under the joint auspices of Samastha Madarasa Hitharakshana Vedike, Federation of Madarasa Administration Committees, SKSSF District Committee and Madarasa Teachers Association to exert pressure on Social Welfare Department (Minority Welfare) of Government of Karnataka to withdraw its recent controversial notification on introducing a separate syllabus for (Sunni) Madrasas.

The protesters also vent their anger against Karnataka Minority Commission Chairman and BJP leader Anwar Manippady, who has recently formed 'Federation of Sunni Muslim' to unite the two quarrelling Sunni fractions, known as AP and EK groups, under BJP leadership.

They alleged that the steps taken by Mr Manippady have only worsened the existing problems among Sunnis.

The agitators also set a two week deadline before the Department to withdraw its notification and to restore the autonomy of the (Sunni) Madrasas in the state. They also warned to intensify the protest from next month if the government failed to meet their demands.

Abbas Darimi Kelinja, Sirajuddin Faizi, Haidar Darimi Kalladka, TM Shahid Sullia, Majeed Suralpady, Abdul Khader Darimi Kukkila, Azeez Darimi Kallega, Usman Faiz Thodar, Renjadi Latheef Darimi, Modinabba Haji and Sadakathullah Faizi were among the protesters.

Most of the Madrasas in the region run by Ahl-u-Sunnat-wal-Jama'at (Sunnis), a group of Muslims controlled by Kerala based mullahs, are dependent either on AP group or on EK group text-books.

Conflict between the above two groups for various reasons including choosing text books for Madrasas has remained a matter of concern for many years.

However, a considerable number of Muslims, who question the legitimacy of mullahs and proclaim Qur'an and Hadith as the final word in religious matters, have prepared separate text-books for Madrasa students.

News Network

March 4,2020

Bidar, Mar 4: The Principal District and Sessions Court in Bidar, on Tuesday, granted conditional bail to five functionaries of Shaheen School management — Abdul Qadeer, Allauddin Pasha, Mehtab Sait, Bilal Inamdar and Abdul Khaleq — who moved anticipatory bail in a sedition case slapped against their school recently.

Conditions

Senior advocate B.T. Venkatesh from Bengaluru argued for the petitioners. Managoli Premavati Mallikarjuna granted bail on certain conditions, including execution of personal bond of ₹2 lakh each.

The sedition case was filed against the Shaheen School management for its children staging a play as part of their annual day celebrations on January 21, in which a character had allegedly delivered a dialogue against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While Nazbunnisa, the mother of the child who had allegedly delivered the dialogue in the play, and Fareeda Begum, the headmistress of the school, were arrested, they were subsequently released on bail last month.

Bengaluru women's sit-in protest against CAA extended to 48 hours

News Network

January 25,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 25: Several women have completed a 24-hour protest here against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and are going strong to stretch it to 48 hours.

"More than a thousand women gathered on the Masjid Road at Frazer Town to denounce the CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC)," participant and Mount Carmel College student Noor Zahira told IANS.

The women protesters extended their support to the students in Jamia Millia Islamia, the Aligarh Muslim University, the Jawaharlal Nehru University and others who were recently roughed up allegedly by police and masked goons.

Zahira, 20, said the women's protest was planned only for 24 hours but is continuing to touch 48 hours.

Starting 3pm on Thursday, the women, several of them in burqas, niqabs and hijabs, are sitting on the road just outside the Haji Sait mosque in Frazer Town in a flash protest. Though they have informed the police, they did not wait for the permission. Around 11 pm, police arrived and shut off the protesters' loud speakers.

Zahira said already four such women's anti-CAA protests were taken out in Bengaluru. Women from all ages groups have joined the protest and are sloganeering.

As the women are protesting on the road, men are guarding them standing on the opposite road, ensuring all supplies such as food and others to them, she added.

"Muslim women were not alone in denouncing the CAA... we were joined by the transgenders, Hindu women, Christian women, Dalits and others, " she said.

Some of the protesters also indulged in creative work such as composing songs against the CAA and making placards.

Though four anti-CAA women's protests happened at the Town Hall and other landmarks in Bengaluru, they were only a few hours long.

The protesting women are also showing support to women protesters at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi who were accused of demonstrating for Rs 500. However, the protest did not align anti-CAA demonstration with any political party, keeping it apolitical.
