Tipu Jayanti will spell doom for Cong: BJP

Bengaluru, Oct 24: The BJP on Monday continued its tirade against the state government for its decision to celebrate Tipu Sultan Jayanti on November 10, even as the ruling Congress accused the saffron party of double standards on the issue.

“The Tipu Jayanti will spell doom for the Congress government in the 2018 polls,” BJP Yuva Morcha state president and MP Pratap Simha said at a state-level convention organised by the Anti-Tipu Sultan Jayanti Forum here. “There was a fire mishap on the sets of a serial on Tipu Sultan that filmmaker Sanjay Khan was doing. Vijay Mallya, who bought Tipu Sultan’s sword, lost his business. Similarly, Siddaramaiah is celebrating Tipu Sultan and his political empire, too, will fall,” he said.

From October 25 to November 10, the Anti-Tipu Sultan Jayanti Forum will stage protests and rallies, its convenor Addanda Cariappa said.

The Congress, however, defended the Tipu Jayanti. “Tipu Sultan was a patriot. No one can change history,” former Union Minister C K Jaffer Sharief said. “BJP leaders are opposing Tipu Jayanti to appease a few people,” he said. KPCC president G Parameshwara, too, hit out at BJP. “Their opposition only shows their mentality.”

The Congress recently released a picture of BJP leader Jagadish Shettar participating in a Tipu Sultan Jayanti when he was the chief minister, accusing the saffron party of double standards.

Siddaramia is upset over the PM's statement This means money will be released for states that don't support the Centre's development agenda. development and not for publicity gimmicks like Tipu Jayanti. Why not a Purnayya Jayanti, Vishweshwariyya Jayanti, N.R. Narayana murthy Jayanthi? They have done more for the state and the country than Tipu.

LOL .. literally ROFL .. 'Tipu Sultan was a patriot' .. because he fought against the British ? It was just a bid to survive the British .. simply because my enemy fought another enemy of mine maketh not a friend.
To call him a patriot .. what does this 'sultan' have in common with India and its culture ? Too much liberalism in selectively interpreting history of invaders and colonizers.

Bengaluru, July 17: An infant with heart-related complications died after 10 private hospitals in the city allegedly refused to admit him over coronavirus fears.

In search of a hospital to treat his one-month-old child, the helpless father drove around for 200km in the city. The child breathes its last after suffering for 36 hours.

The infant’s health worsened around 11am on Sunday. “A doctor from a nearby clinic visited our house and said the baby had heart-related issues. As advised, we decided to shift the child to a private hospital,” the father said. The family lives in Basaveshwaranagar.

The parents went to several private hospitals, but in vain. “We visited hospitals in Bavaveshwaranagar, Chord Road, Sheshadripuram, Goraguntepalya and Yeshwanthpur. None of them agreed to treat our baby, and we returned home at night,” the father said. 

“On Monday morning, we started the journey again. This time, we went to a hospital near Jayadeva flyover. We were driving near Marathahalli when our child stopped breathing. We rushed to a nearby private hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead,” he said.

Addressing a press conference here today, committee chief K S Mohammed Masood made this announcement.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

 

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

We respect ur decision sir.

 

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

 

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

 

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims
