Mangaluru, Nov 20: Bajrang Dal leader Sharan Pumpwell has urged the police not to treat the activists of saffron groups and PFI equally as according to him Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal are patriotic and nationalist organisations.

Speaking at a preparatory convention for upcoming Udupi Dharma Samsad at the Ramakrishna College ground in Mangaluru on Sunday evening, he said: “We have been raising voice against injustice. However, the police are considering Bajrang Dal and PFI as same. They are levelling murder charges against us and are booking our activists under Goonda Act to suppress us."

"The blood of Shivaji is flowing in our body and not that of Tipu. Those who have the blood of Tipu in them are engaged in pelting stones at the police commissioner's office," he said.

VHP Prantha working president M B Puranik called upon the Bajrang Dal activists to make Dharma Samsad at Udupi a grand success.

Cops thwart bike rally

Prior to this, the city police prevented the members of Bajrang Dal from carrying out a motorbike rally till the convention venue. Enraged over the incident, the Bajrang Dal activists held a meeting sitting on the two-wheelers.

The police also asked the organisers to complete the convention by 5 p.m. The activists were ready to take out the rally from Kadri Kambala Road, Ambedkar Circle and PVS Circle in the city, but were prevented by the police.

Later, the activists reached the venue separately as per the conditions laid down by the police.

The activists listened to the main speech by sitting on the motorbikes for one and a half hours. Even after the convention, they were not allowed to carry out a procession. The police sent them out of the venue, in a group of 10 persons each after the programme.

All these are jobless, irresponsible goondas.

No civic responsibilities. Eliminating them from entering into public gathering is the sole solution.

Blind Followers are the root cause of this problem.

Ramadan begins in Mangaluru, Udupi; no taraveeh in mosques

April 23,2020

Mangaluru, Apr 23: Muslims in coastal Karnataka will fast tomorrow (April 24) along with Middle Eastern Muslims as the Khazis in the region have confirmed the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan tonight.

Religious authorities in Saudi Arabia and a few Middle Eastern countries have already declared that Friday will be the start of the month of fasting.

In Kerala and twin districts of coastal Karnataka - Dakshina Kannada and Udupi- the announcement was made following maghrib praers as the cresent moon was sighted in a few places in Kerala.

The Thakbeer was pronounced from the minarets of the mosques across Dakshina Kannada and Udupi after Maghrib Namaz as the religious heads confirmed the moon sighting.

However, the religious heads including Mangaluru Khazi Twaqa Ahmed Musliar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, have urged the Muslims to offer all the prayers including Taraveeh at homes along with family members due to the lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

There will be no congregational taraveeh prayers in mosques and Muslims should follow the covid-19 guidelines of the government, they stated.

Ramadan begins around 11 days earlier each year. Its start is calculated based on the sighting of the new moon, which marks the beginning of the Muslim lunar month that varies between 29 or 30 days.

During the month, Muslims are expected to abstain during daylight hours from food, drink, smoking and sex to focus on spirituality.

Comments

How it is possible that only Kerala people can witness the moon?

Can they come forward in Media and give Shahaadah, why the other parts of India will not follow.
