Kozhikode, Feb 27: Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliyar has been made Grand Mufti, the top authority to give non-binding advice and opinion on Islamic jurisprudence and religious practices of the Sunnis in India.

Musliyar, who has been the general secretary of the All-India Muslim Scholars Association for over a quarter century, was selected as Grand Mufti at the Gareeb Navaz peace conference held at Ram Leela Maidan in New Delhi on Monday, a release stated.

The conference was attended by over 1,000 representatives of Sunni associations from 23 States. Hazrath Mannan Khan Razvi Barelvi, a prominent Barelvi scholar from Uttar Pradesh, conferred the title on Musaliyar.

The event was organized under the banner of All India Thanzeem Ulamae Islam. Grand Mufti is a position that holds the supreme authority to issue fatwa (authoritative legal opinion on Islamic matters), said a news release issued by Markazu Ssaqafathi Ssunniyya, an Islamic educational institution founded by the Sunni leader here.

Sayed Ameen Miya Barakthi, founder of Aligarh Al Barakath Institute, Sheikh Hazrath Sayyid Babr Ashraf, vice-president of Ajmeer Darga, Mufthi Shfaq Husain Qadiri, national president of Tanzime Ulama, among others were present at the function.

Addressing the gathering at the function, Musaliyar said Sunni Muslims in India should be united under a platform irrespective of the differences.

The Sunni movements in India would attempt to strengthen peace in the country along with development works in education and humanitarian sectors, he said.

Mangaluru/Mysuru, May 19: Though the Karnataka government permitted the private buses, operators in Dakshina Kannada district have decided not to operate buses until May end. In Mysuru district too the private buses remained off the roads.

Dakshina Kannada Bus Owners’ Association President Dilraj Alva said “Technically, private bus operators are not able to operate services as all of us have surrendered our permits. If we start services we will have to pay the tax for entire month. Hence, we have decided to resume bus services from June 1.”

The private buses had suspended their services since March 24.

In addition, bus owners also have two more demands which the state government needs to consider on priority, he said.

“We have requested the government to exempt private buses from paying tax for the next six months. We were not plying buses during lockdown and it will be tough for us in the next three months to operate as per new conditions.”

“The government has allowed only 30 persons in each bus to maintain social distancing. In addition, we have been urging the state government for bus fare revision since 2013. The government has revised the bus fares of KSRTC twice after that,” Alva said adding that bus owners will be meeting Mangaluru RTO on Tuesday.

Bengaluru, May 26: Ministers of the central government or state governments or officers on their official duty, who are travelling across states, will be exempted from requirements of quarantine, the Karnataka government said on Monday.

The state government issued an addendum to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for inter-state passengers.

"Any person who gets a negative COVID test certificate (from ICMR approved lab) which is not more than two days old from the date of journey will be exempted from the requirement of institutional quarantine," read the addendum.

The state government has laid down new norms for those coming from other states (including those coming by domestic air flights).

Passengers coming from 'high prevalence states' (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh) would be required to undergo a seven-day "institutional quarantine", which will be followed by home quarantine.

The new norms also said that home quarantine of 14 days would be necessary for the passengers coming from other states.
