Mangalore, November 4: Giving priority to beauty while choosing life-partner is the root cause of the family chaos in modern times, said Udupi Qazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal.

He was speaking after inaugurating the mass marriage organised by Abu Dhabi based Bearys Welfare Forum at Milagres Hall in the city on Sunday.

Recalling Prophet Muhammad's marriage tips that “A woman is married for four reasons: her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religiosity. Choose (marry) the religious woman so that your home will be in abundance”, Musliyar said if any Muslim man ignored this hadith while choosing a life partner, he would not attain success.

Mangalore Qazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar said that lack of religiosity leads to destruction of family values.

“The reason behind dowry menace is also people's ignorance about Islamic teachings,” he said adding that there is solution for all the problems of man's life in Islam.

Speaking on the occasion former higher education minister B A Mohidin pointed out that mass marriages cannot be the permanent solution for dowry menace. “We need to eradicate the root cause of the dowry”, he said.

The programme commenced with the recitation of Quranic verses by Rahil, a student of Iqra Arabic School, Mangalore. Mohammad Rafeeq Krishnapur welcomed the gathering. Abdullah Madumoole gave a brief introduction about the activities of BWF. Basheer Bajpe unveiled the future plans of the Forum.

BWF president Mohammad Ali Uchil presided over. Umar U H proposed vote of thanks. B A Mohammad Ali compered the programme. MLA U T Khader, Y Sudhir Shetty, Althaf Khatheeb, S M Rashid, Mohammad Badruddin, B M Mumthaz Ali, Muhammad Ameen and B M Shareef were present among others.

As many as 16 couples entered marital life in the presence of dignitaries. Qazis led the 'Nikah' proceedings.

This is the fourth mass wedding ceremony organised by BWF, which is currently celebrating its decennial year.

Based in Abu Dhabi, BWF is a union of expat Bearys hailing from coastal Karnataka. Social service, special encouragement to education, awards and felicitations for talented people and achievers are some of the activities of the organisation.

With its anti-dowry stance, BWF had organised mass weddings for the poor in 2008, 2009 and 2011 too. A total of 58 couples have been married off by the organisation till now.

I got Rs 12 lakh to help terrorists to carry out R-Day terror attack: DSP Davinder Singh

coastaldigest.com news network

January 14,2020

Srinagar, Jan 14: Davinder Singh, deputy superintendent of police, who was arrested on Saturday along with two Hizb terrorists and a Hizb overground worker in Kulgam, has confessed to his interrogators that he had received Rs 12 lakh from the terrorists to ferry them to Jammu and then Chandigarh for their onward journey to New Delhi, IG (Kashmir) Vijay Kumar told the media here on Monday.

Intelligence sources said the terrorists planned to carry out attacks on Republic Day.

The DSP was suspended on Monday and is likely to be stripped of all his awards, including the President’s Police Medal for anti-militancy operations.

Davinder, who was interrogated by various intelligence agencies, including IB, military intelligence and RAW, besides the police, has disclosed that he had put up the terrorists at his Indira Nagar house in Srinagar, right next to the Army’s 15 Corps HQ, and thereafter accompanied them to Jammu in a Maruti car driven by the Hizb overground worker, intelligence sources claimed.

Meanwhile, sources said the Union home ministry may hand over the case to the NIA to find the real motive of the terrorists, Davinder’s links to terrorism and whether he had helped terrorists in the past as well.

The two Hizb terrorists arrested with Davinder are Naveed Babu alias Babar Azam, a resident of Nazneenpora in south Kashmir’s Shopian district, and his associate Rafi Ahmad Rather. The Hizb overground worker, identified as Irfan Shafi Mir, was driving the vehicle when it was intercepted by the police on Saturday. Irfan Shafi Mir has travelled to Pakistan five times on his passport.

Davinder, interestingly, was on duty ensuring security cover for the envoys of 15 countries who visited Srinagar at the Union government’s invitation last week.
