Udupi, September 1: Senior journalist Abdussalam Puthige's much awaited Kannada translation of holy Quran 'Kannadadali Qur'an Anuvada' was finally released in a grand function here on Saturday.

Dharmadhikari of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala D Veerendra Heggade, who released the book, laid emphasis on the significance of maintaining peace and unity in the society.

He exhorted the followers of all the communities to follow the noble teachings of their sacred scriptures Quran, Bible and Gita to eliminate crime and restore peace in the society. “Implement the good teachings of your sacred scriptures in your life”, he stressed.

Upholding the concept of 'unity in diversity', he said that followers of a particular religion or religious scripture should not hate other religions or religious scriptures. “Coexistence and mutual understanding is the need of hour”, he added.

Terming Quran as a book of peace and harmony, Mr Heggade said that it is an unfortunate development that a few Muslim youths have chosen the path of extremism and terrorism in the name of Islam.

Giving a brief introduction to his translation, Mr Puthige said that Qur'an is a guide for a man throughout his life.

Noted Kannada poet K S Nisar Ahmed, Udupi District in-charge Minister Kota Srinivas Poojary, Udupi-Chikmagalur MP K. Jayaprakash Hegde, priest of Mother of Sorrows Church Rev. Fr. Fredrick Mascarenhas, and president of Udupi District Kannada Sahitya Parishat Neelavar Surendra Adiga were also present.

Published by the Madhyama Prakashan, Bangalore, the 687 page book has a face value of Rs 180. An important aspect of this book is the lucidity of the language.

Eid get-together

The book release was followed by an Eid harmony meet organised by the Forum for Humanity in association with the Lions, Lioness, and Leo Clubs. District Lions Governor K. Madhusudhan Hegde inaugurated the meet. Businessman G. Shankar presided over. Convener of the Forum Mohammed Yasin Malpe delivered the Eid message.

“Loveable people of Kudla! I have received the transfer order after serving as the Commissioner of Police of Mangaluru City for 11 months. (During this period) I worked with utmost honesty and pro-people approach with the complete cooperation of my department. I wholeheartedly thank all those who supported me,” tweeted Dr Harsha, who is now posted in Bengaluru as the Deputy Inspector General and Commissioner of Information and Public Relations.

In his Facebook post, Dr Harsha claimed that thanks to his initiative “My Beat My Pride”, the policing in the coastal city has strengthened. 

“My only intention was to put an end to rowdyism and illegal activities. I had given priority to curb the drug mafia. ‘My Beat My Pride’ became a successful initiative thanks to public support,” he said. 

The IPS officer went on to claim that with the with the co-operation of the senior officers, the police department managed to efficiently handle situations during anti-CAA and pro-CAA agitations in the city, detection of explosives at Mangaluru International Airport and also during the covid-19 pandemic. 

However, he did not mention about the death of two people in random police firing following a baton charge during anti-CAA protests in the city on December 19.
