New Delhi, Jul 3: In what could be seen as a desperate attempt by the Sangh Parivar to shed its anti-Muslim' image, Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM) on Saturday organised an international Iftar' party at the Parliament House Annexe, which was attended by people from different walks of life. MRM is the Muslim wing of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.

Although ambassadors from 140 countries were invited for the Iftar' party, the High Commissioner of Pakistan was not invited for the event due to the recent Pampore attack in Jammu and Kashmir.

Altogether ambassadors from nine countries participated in the Iftar party with several academicians, including Jamia University's Vice-Chancellor Prof Talat Ahmad, Delhi University's Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Tyagi and Aligarh Muslim University's Vice-Chancellor Zameer Uddin Shah.

According to MRM chief Mohammad Afzal, they had organised the party to convey a message to the world that India is a country where there is unity in diversity and people from all religions live under single roof and follow their respective faiths. He, however, clarified that it was their own initiative and that the RSS had nothing to do with it.

Warning to Pakistan

Speaking at the Iftar meet, RSS Pracharak Indresh Kumar, who is also the chief patron of MRM, asked Pakistan to stop interfering in India's affairs and instead tackle growing separatism within its boundaries

Kumar warned that Pakistan will be “disintegrate into seven pieces” unless it changes its behaviour. He said several separatist groups mushrooming in Pakistan are threatening the country's existence. “We have conveyed (this) message to Pakistan on several occasions,” he said.

Kumar also criticised AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi for his opposition to the “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” slogan. “A true Muslim,” he said, “will do Haj, but will also say Hindustan Zindabad,” and urged members of the community to be “true” Muslims instead of being “fanatic”.

Union ministers Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Shahnawaz Hussain, BJP spokesperson M J Akbar, several RSS functionaries, and the vice-chancellors of of AMU and Jamia Millia Islamia were among those in attendance.

The Iftar had become controversial after the MRM cancelled invitation to Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit over his casual remarks after the terror attack in Pampore on June 25, that killed eight CRPF personnel.

\True Muslim will do Hajj and will say Hindustan Zindabad\" its pre qualification for newly established religion Sufism..! Founder of this religion is terrorist who is a mastermind for Samjotha express blast and Malegao blast. Some useless fools around him are trying to destroy Islam.
May our one of famous Leader who always travel and trend in social media will adopt this for his journey. Also he attend Sufi convention.
Modi and RSS know better and only Sufism (Shiaism) can divide Indian Muslims into two sects as Shia and Sunni which is undivided till now. Then divide and rule as Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Bahrain etc etc"

Bengaluru, Jun 23: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday demanded that Bengaluru should be put under lockdown for 20 days to contain the spread of coronavirus, the cases of which have risen sharply recently.

 “Stop playing with people's lives. There’s no use in sealing off only some areas. If the people of Bengaluru must live, then a lockdown of at least 20 days is needed. Otherwise, Bengaluru will become another Brazil,” Kumaraswamy said in a tweet. “People’s health is more important, not economy.”

The JD(S) leader was reacting to the BJP government's decision to impose an area-wide lockdown in Chickpet, KR Market, Kalasipalyam and Chamarajpet while streets will be sealed off in VV Puram, Siddapura, Yelahanka, Vidyaranyapura and Chickpet.

Bengaluru has witnessed a huge spike in its Covid-19 tally; the city currently has at least 919 active cases. This has sparked off fears that the contagion might have reached the community.

Kumaraswamy has also demanded welfare measures for the poor. “The poor and the labourers should be given ration immediately. The state’s 50 lakh working class should get ₹5,000 each. The aid already announced by the government hasn’t reached drivers, weavers, Madiwalas and other communities,” he said, adding that mere announcements of a package won’t be enough and “it has to be implemented.”
