Mangalore, December 15: The valedictory programme of the 15 day campaign 'Read the Creator's Message' of Universal Welfare Forum (UNIWEF) was held at Shanti Nilaya in Balmatta, Mangalore, on Friday.

 

Speaking on the occasion, Shikarupira Krishnamurthy, Professor in Sanskrit, St Aloysius College, Mangalore, said that in order to judge whether one is a God-fearing person, it is not important to note which religion he has taken birth in but rather look at the character and behaviour of the person. One must inculcate the habit of self-introspection everyday looking at one's own faults and make a pledge that he will be a better person with every new day, he said.

 

Fr. William Martis, Parish Priest, Udupi Church, in his address said that if one looks at the various religions, he is bound to find a host of similarities. The Abrahamic religions like Islam, Christianity and Judaism have obvious similarities with the same prophets and ancestors. The concept of Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara of Hinduism and the Christian concept of trinity are also similar. There is a common thread that binds all religions together, he opined. People must adopt the understanding attitude rather than judgemental attitude when it comes to religion, he said.

 

Rafeeyuddin Kudroli, President, UNIWEF, said in his address that the Vedas may well have been the word of God sent down by the Almighty to guide the people of India and in the same way the Quran was sent down as the final revelation of God. In spite of several years passing by, it continues to remain relevant and unchanged, he said. Mr.Kudroli also spoke about the scientific facts mentioned in the Quran about the planets and the solar system. People must make an attempt to know their respective scriptures and most unrest that takes place in the society today is because of lack of proper understanding of one's own religion, he said.

 

Dr. J N Bhat, Medical Superintendent, Omega Hospital, also spoke.

 

A question and answer session was also held after the guests delivered their speeches.

Mumbai, Feb 26: Maharashtra cabinet minister and Congress leader Aslam Shaikh on Wednesday said that former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis made an irresponsible statement regarding the Shiv Sena-led state government's 'silence' on AIMIM leader Waris Pathan's remark. He added that as the incident took place in Karnataka, Fadnavis should ask Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa about the matter.

"This is an irresponsible statement given by Devendra Fadnavis. He should ask the same question to the Chief Minister of Karnataka where the statement was given," Shaikh said.

"Fadnavis should ask the same question to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah that why has he not been able to control the violence going on in Delhi," he added.

Earlier, on Tuesday, targeting Shiv Sena's silence over the recent controversial remark by Waris Pathan, Fadnavis said the Uddhav Thackeray-led party might be "wearing bangles" but the BJP was not and knew how to retaliate in the same manner.

"Shiv Sena might be wearing bangles but we are not. If someone says something then he will be given an answer in the same way. BJP has this much power," said Fadnavis while launching a scathing attack on ruling-Shiv Sena in Maharashtra for not taking strict action against Pathan.

On February 20, while addressing an anti-CAA rally, at Kalaburagi in Karnataka, Pathan had said, "Time has now come for us to unite and achieve freedom. Remember we are 15 crores but can dominate over 100 crores."
