Bengaluru, Oct 14: A senior Muslim cleric has urged the Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah to take necessary steps to protect the interests of Muslim community in the state.

muslimShafi Sa'adi, state president of Sunni Students Federation, on Thursday called on the CM along with CM Ibrahim, deputy chairman of the state planning board in Bengaluru and discussed some of the problems faced by the community.

The cleric alleged that even though cow vigilantes belonging to right wing groups targeting innocent Muslims across the state, the police were going soft on the culprits and harassing the victims.

He said that even though the police arrest those who indulge in violence against Muslims, they register bailable and petty cases against the accused. On the other hand the police don't miss any chance to harass Muslims, he said.

“Several complaints have been lodged in various police stations in the state in connection with the derogatory social media posts against Prophet Muhammad. However, the police have not taken any serious action in this regard,” he alleged.

He also invited the CM to participate in the Muslim Jamath convention to be held on November 2 in Kodagu under the leadership and guidance of A P Aboobacker Musliyar Kanthapuram, General Secretary of the All India Sunni Jamiyyathul Ulama.

Benglauru, June 14: Even as schools are divided over providing online education, the state Higher Education Department is stressing on continuing online education.

Deputy Chief Minister and Higher Education Minister Dr C N Ashwath Narayan has stressed the need for digital learning to eliminate educational inequalities.

Taking part in a Webinar on ‘Digitising Higher Education - Challenges and Opportunities,’ organised by the Padmashree Institute of Management, he asked educational institutions to give emphasis to digital learning.

“Digital learning is a means to ensure quality education to all sections of the society without discrimination on the basis of caste, region and religion. This is a solution to eliminate discrimination. Through digital learning, a student in a remote village will also get an opportunity to learn from an experienced and highly qualified teacher.”

In addition to this, students are getting study material in digital form. Keeping these important aspects in mind, all educational institutions should give stress to digital learning without wasting any time,’’ he said.

He, however, admitted that digital learning has its own challenges like - quality internet connectivity, laptops and mobile gadgets.

“We are trying to find a solution to it by raising funds through Corporate Social Responsibility or through government funds,” he said. “We are making efforts to provide 4G network across the State,” he said.
