Mangaluru, Jun 25: Muslims in parts of Dakshina Kannada district have plunged into confusion after Khazi of Ullal refused to announce the beginning of Shawwal and urged his followers to fast on Sunday and celebrate Eid al-Fitr on Monday.

1ullalThe bizarre development comes within hours after Dakshina Kannada district Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar formally declared the end of Ramadan after verifying the reports of moonsighting from Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada district.

Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal too has declared the end of Ramadan and announced that Sunday will be the first day of Shawwal in the region.

However, the unexpected decision of Ullal Khazi Fazal Koyamma Thangal Koorath to complete the 30th fasting of Ramadan has brought the divide among Muslims in the region to the fore.

Fasting on Eid day and celebrating Eid before the end of Ramadan are considered a sin in Islam. Hence, thousands of Muslims in the region are in dilemma. Taravih prayers were also reportedly held in Ullal Juma Masjid at midnight in spite of opposition from a section of clerics.

Meanwhile, many clerics are reportedly trying to convince the Ullal Khazi to change his decision and announce the beginning of Shawwal. More details are awaited.

Sad development. But the saddest thing is the ongoing grave worship in the same place. May Allah grant them Hidayah.

@ Umar Farooq,

Sad thing is that still you are not matured enough to understand what
is grave worshiping ? May Allah grant you good mind to understand the difference between worshiping & respecting.

Extradited these useless thangas, they are there to devide muslims for their ego class...moon sighting in bhatkal is more than enough to end the month and celebrate the Eid. I think no need many khazis to Mangalore, they are spoil brat of Muslims especially in Mangalore becuase their EGO clash will not work in Kerala.

New Delhi, Feb 24: India has deeply appreciated the Senegal government's decision to extradite fugitive gangster Ravi Poojary to India, official sources said on Sunday.

Facilitation of transit provided by the Government of France has also been acknowledged, they said.

Ravi Prakash Poojary, accused of committing a number of serious offences including murder and extortion in multiple jurisdictions, was extradited from Senegal on Saturday.

The probe agencies have persistently pursued the case for his extradition with the authorities in Senegal. India had made a request with Senegal for his extradition in early 2019, sources said.

Poojary was associated with gangster Chhota Rajan, but he also worked for fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

Bengaluru, May 26: The Karnataka government has decided cancel summer vacation for undergraduate and post-graduate students and universities during the 2020-21 academic year in the wake of severe academic loss due to COVID-19 lockdown.

Keeping in mind the loss of academic days due to the lockdown to contain the pandemic, the Higher Education Department has decided to go in for ‘Zero Vacation’. 

The state government decided to cancel all holidays particularly the summer holidays after holding a series of meetings with the Vice Chancellors and other academicians from various parts of the state.

The decision was also communicated during the review meeting of the Higher Education Department held by CM Yediyurappa on Tuesday in Bengaluru.

Bengaluru, Jul 30: As the protest by Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers entered the 20th day, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday assured them that he would take up their demands with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.

The ASHA workers are sitting in protests with a number of demands that include a minimum salary of Rs 12,000 per month.

Assuring that their matter will be taken up, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu said while speaking to reporters, "We know how hard ASHA workers have been working as frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19. I will discuss with CM about their demand for a minimum wage of Rs 12,000 per month and the final decision will be taken soon."

"We went to the police to allow us to protest. Officials then took us to the CM. During the meeting, he demanded some time to sort out our issues. 

We told him we are protesting for the past 20 days and that it was he who needs to call a meeting with us. Only then will he know the problems being faced by ASHA workers," an ASHA worker said clad in her signature pink sari.

"When asked as to why salaries of ASHA workers were not hiked, while it was done for doctors and other healthcare officials, the CM requested for time to look into the matter. 

We are not much happy now, but will if he comes in front of the media and promises to sort out our issues, then we will listen to him", she added.
