Will leave town if you retaliate: Cleric warns Muslims after riot mongers kill his 16-yr-old son

Upholding the Quranic message of peace and co-existence, the imam of a mosque in West Bengal’s Asansol, whose son was kidnapped and brutally murdered by communal elements during Ram Navami violence, has urged the Muslims not to take law into their hands.

Maulana Imdadul Rashidi’s 16-year-old son Sibtulla Rashidi was found dead, becoming the fourth victim of violence triggered by Ram Navami processions across the eastern Indian state since last Sunday. Sibtulla, who appeared for his Class X board exams this year, was reported missing after communal clashes in Rail Par area of Asansol on Tuesday afternoon. He was reportedly picked up by a mob. His body was recovered late on Wednesday night and identified on Thursday. He is suspected to have been beaten to death.

However, presiding over a congregation at Eidgah Maidan soon after performing last rites of his son on Thursday, Maulana appealed for peace and told the Muslims that he would leave the mosque and the town if there was any retaliation for his son’s murder.

"My beloved son is gone... But if you love me, then keep calm," said 48-year-old Maulana who is serving as Imam in the town for nearly three decades. “I want peace. I do not want any more families to lose their loved ones. I do not want any more houses to burn. I will leave Asansol if there is any kind of retaliation. If you love me, you will not raise a finger,” he added.

“I have been an Imam for the last 30 years. It is important that I give the right message to the people — a message of peace. I need to get over my personal loss. People of Asansol are not like this. This is a conspiracy,” the aggrieved Imam was quoted as saying by an English daily.

A senior police officer at the state police headquarters in Kolkata said they had received information that those involved in Sunday's violence (in the Asansol and Raniganj areas of West Burdwan district) were outsiders, according to news agency Press Trust of India.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has also reviewed the law and order situation in the state. Three persons were killed in West Burdwan and Purulia districts and several others, including police personnel, were injured during Ram Navami celebrations.

HINDU people must learn lesson from him,

you worship the devil stone and commit crim in the name of than

today the hindu religion book veda has been hijaked by faciest maron in our country.

so search for ture GOD and True religion, all soul should taste the death.

HasbunAllahu wa Niamal wakeel, Niamal Maula Niamal Naseer

each soul has to meet Allah Almighty for the final judgement, wrong doers will be put in hell fire permanently

May Allah ease your sorrow and help you in this time of hardship. This is a true imam who can stand for the principles of Islam which many muslims have forgotten to deliver the message of peace in times of hardship. Devils play a lot of games and the people who follow devils never understand this unless they contemplate the word of the almighty Allah(God) and teachings of the prophet Muhammad pbuh. We Muslims should try our best to have patience like summayya and other sahabas who are the inspiration from the past. Let us be patience and invite the Non muslims to know the TRUE ISLAM thru such sacrifices... May Allah guide us all to the TRUTH.

Karnataka Cong chief slams govt for curtailing chapters on Tipu Sultan, Hyder Ali

News Network

July 29,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 29: Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar on Tuesday criticised BJP-led Karnataka government for limiting or omitting various topics including chapters on 18th century Mysore ruler Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali.

Speaking to media here at Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) office, Shivakumar said Congress will not allow BJP government in Karnataka to "divert history".

"Tipu Sultan does not belong to one caste or a class. He is part of the history of this country. BJP government has removed chapters related to him for its political advantage. It is their decision whether they celebrate Tipu Sultan Jayanti or not, but he is part of our history.

The President of this country Ramnath Kovind came to the Vidhan Sabha and praised Tipu's patriotism during a joint session," Shivakumar said.

"The BJP government has come to power today. Our history should not change. We will not let these people to covert or dilute history. This is the stand of the Congress party. Our experts will study the pros and cons of this decision," he added.

Shivakumar further said many countries around the world have praised the Constitution, Indian history and expressed their willingness to "adapt it".

"But the BJP is trying to curtail this. We need to educate our children. Our team will also study this and we will not let this happen," he said.
The Karnataka government, in a bid to reduce the syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent, has limited or omitted various topics including chapters on Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 social science textbook.

The reduction in syllabus comes as schools are closed to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the state, and classes have been moved online.
The Department of Public Instruction of the Karnataka government also limited or removed various other topics from the syllabus of class 6 to 10 as they were repeated or can be alternatively taught.

Earlier, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had revised the syllabus for the classes IX to XII for the academic session 2020-21 in a "one-time measure" owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.
