Zakir Naik's alleged follower arrested under UAPA for role in conversion'

July 22, 2016

Mumbai, Jul 22: In more trouble for doctor-turned-Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, as one of his alleged followers has been arrested by the Maharashtra ATS and the Kerala Police in a joint operation in connection with suspected conversion case of missing Kerala youths.

Police sources said that Arshid Qureshi was arrested after one of the relatives of a missing youth from Kerala accused the former of instigating Hindus and Christians to stop idol worshipping and accept Islam.

Meanwhile, news agencies such as ANI and Times of India have claimed that Arshid Qureshi was a close aide of Dr Zakir Naik and that he was recruiting Kerala youths for the terror outfit Islamic State. However, police have not confirmed these allegations.

Based on a complaint of a Kerala family, the police have booked Qureshi under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups), 34 IPC and 13 UAPA.

If Qureshi's links with IRF is established, this could be the first arrest of a Dr Naik's organisation, which is under scanner since a section of media claimed that two of the Bangladesh cafe attackers were inspired by his preaching.

According to reports, Qureshi was held after the police raided a flat in Seawoods. He was produced before a magistrate's court in CBD-Belapur on Thursday and remanded in transit custody for four days. He will be questioned by the Maharashtra ATS and later taken to Kerala.

Ebin Jacob (25), the brother of Merin alias Mariam who is missing along with her husband Bestin Vincent alias Yahia from Kerala, had told police that there was an attempt to forcibly convert him to Islam and make him join IS.

Ebin had reportedly told Kochi police that Bestin and Qureshi were behind the attempted conversion.

Based on this statement, the Palarivattom police slapped charges under Section 13 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on the duo and booked them under sections of the IPC.

The case against Qureshi and Bestin could be the first registered under UAPA against any of the 21 Keralites who have gone missing under suspicious circumstances.

If he has not told, then why we are doing like that ( Got divided in to 4 groups )

Dear Sk,

I listen to all types of Moulanas ....I will pick up which looks correct for me Allah has given me brain to analyse the things....I am not a blind follower of any thing.....In Islam every thing has LOGIC and we have to undrstand properly....So you do not have any answer, as to which Imam was followed by Prophet ( PBUH )

Mone, Moodbidri..... Which ......ism was followed by our Prophet ( PBUH )

Dear Guru,
Zakir naik studied Comparative religions and it is his right to tell the TRUTH...
In Vedas it is mentioned that NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI. (There is no idols).. For so long YOur own hindu priests have misguided U guys and ask u people to worship the man made creation like Pratima, idols, pictures, status, worst is the animals and some even worse, they worship the naked people instead of following the Scriptures.

Now ZAKIR naik is telling the truth that there is no IDOL worship in Hinduism itself and the people (who says we are Head) who discriminate others are the leaders of YOUR religion...
U have to learn Y VEDAS say NA TASYA PRATImA ASTI... read and PONDER on this verse also compare it with what ISLAM says about Worshiping ONE GOD.... without image or statues... It will be clear to U & U will realize U are being FOOLED by the HEADS to bow down to the CREATION of ALLAH (god).
God's help come if YOUR intention is HONEST and U search for the TRUTH... TRY it (Just say : O the one who created ME - Guide ME)

TRUTH will prevail Falsehood will perish... even if the deception is as high as the mountain... which many people are blind to see.

Dear Sister Fatimah,

Let him stop poking other religion .. we used to leave happily in 90's .. why only now we are facing problems?...Why my friends ( not a naik's fans) are such a loving persons compared to zakir naik followers ..It shows thier mentality towards others .. its not good for society

Brother Guru,

Brother Neither Naik nor rss gangs can harm India.It is only our thinking ,assumptions promote it.Zakir Naik is a self made man,since it is duty of every mislim to invite non muslim for dialogue(da'wah) ,he is following it.We are obliged to spread the Islamic views to world or else it is a debt on us when we die.Thats it.He was doing his duty.He didnot force anyone to Islam.As he himself asks the non muslim openly do anyone force yo?Is it for fame or money you come to Islam etc?So there is no question of forced conversion.

However all Indian must understand it is a political gimmick by ruling party and some vested intrests who finds profit in defaming nother community people.They are slowly brainwashing the good hindus to hardcore hindus and attach social stigma status on muslims.But we dont care coz we know whatever Allah does is for good.Islam is the solution to mankind not a problem.

No one can convert by force anyone....people are understanding what is right and wrong...if someone understands what is Islam and its truthfulness...then he or she does not need anybodies force to convert...

Zakir Naik did not convert anyone forcefully...if you look at any of his speeches....

one of my friend was die hard fan of zakir...but after the media exposed about his assets and drama about conversion he changed his mind...now he is not following him to save india

so i request my fellow indians to not to follow fraud naik and please save our beautiful country

follow sufism to stop terrorism

One new convert was asked to support jihad ...it is well known fact that women are being trapped to fall in love by giving money to jobless jihadists ...then they are made to join Isis ..same thing happened in Kerala ...yesterday we saw Pakistan flag flying over a jihadis house and last week PFI shouted anti India and pro Pakistan slogans and owaisi offered help to Isis members ...it proves this community wants serious escalation of violence.

Mr.zakir naik is next asaraam bapu of india...soo many dumb followers with lot of property...jaago followers jaago

BBMP Padaraynapura corporator Imran Pasha tests covid positive; 21 quarantined

News Network

May 30,2020

Bengaluru, May 30: A city corporator in Bengaluru was sent into quarantine on Saturday after he tested positive for the coronavirus infection, officials said.

"Yes, I have tested positive," Padarayanapura municipal ward corporator Imran Pasha told some news channels.

The JDS corporator said he would quarantine himself as per the regulations.

The entire area where Pasha lives was cordoned off.

Health workers reached there in an ambulance and gave him a personal protection gear to wear and he was taken to a designated hospital.

Reacting to the development, Karnataka Revenue Minister R Ashoka claimed Pasha hardly paid heed to the COVID-19 regulations.

"He rushes to all those places wherever there are positive cases...," Ashoka told reporters.

Padarayanapura was declared as a containment zone earlier with a few cases coming to the fore.

It was in this area where some policemen and health workers were attacked when they went to quarantine a few primary and secondary contacts of a COVID-19 patient about a month ago.

Following the incident, about 125 people were arrested, and later quarantined after a few of them tested positive.

Karnataka rises in ranking, but industry and infrastructure big concern

News Network

January 12,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 12: Karnataka’s ranking in Niti Aayog’s sustainable development goals (SDG) index rose by one place to No. 6 in 2019, compared to the year before.

Of the 17 SDGs that are used to compute the overall index, Karnataka topped in two – ‘climate action’ and ‘life on water’. The former is a measure of how well a state integrates climate action into policies and strategies and promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change planning and management. The latter focuses on preventing marine pollution, ending illegal and destructive fishing practices, and sustainably managing and protecting marine and coastal ecosystems.

It also did well in ‘decent work and economic growth’ and ‘peace, justice and strong institutions’. But it fared poorly, slipping 16 places – from No. 5 in 2018 to No. 21 in 2019 – in ‘industry, innovation and infrastructure’. Rankings in ‘quality education’ and ‘zero hunger’ have also fallen. While in education it is now ranked 7, a drop of three places, in ‘zero hunger’, it has dropped to No. 17 from 13. SDG is a United Nations initiative. Niti Aayog has customised it for India, and 36 states and union territories are ranked. The organisation admits there is an issue of data availability in India, indicating the numbers may not exactly reflect the ground situation.

In ‘industry, innovation and infrastructure, Karnataka scored just 40 out of a target of 100. The country average was 65. It failed to achieve targets in all the four parameters for the category, except in the number of mobile connections, where it has 100 connections per 100 population. The biggest dip was in manufacturing industry jobs and in providing allweather roads under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana to targeted habitats. Niti Ayog has given a score of 0 for the latter. Speaking on the dismal performance in the ‘industry and infrastructure’ category, state planning commission vice-chairman BJ Puttaswamy said he was yet to look into this parameter. “I have asked the departments concerned to meet me by Monday,” he said.

Bengaluru, June 19: Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa''s home-office in the city centre was shut for sanitisation after the husband of a woman employee working there tested COVID-19 positive, an official said on Friday.

"The chief minister''s home-office has been closed for sanitisation after the employee''s husband tested positive for coronavirus," an official of the Chief Minister''s Office told media persons here.

The employee did not report for duty for two days after her husband was infected with the virus.

"The chief minister''s engagements, including an official event involving the state police department were shifted to the Vidhana Soudha (state secretariat)," said the official.

As the employee was on outpost duty, she did not come in contact with the Chief Minister or his cabinet colleagues and other senior officials.

Earlier in the day, the divisional railway manager''s office in the city centre was shut for sanitisation after a visiting employee tested positive for coronavirus.

"The three-floor DRM office has been closed for the day for santisation and all employees have been advised to work from home as one of our staffer who visited the office early this week tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday," senior Divisional Commercial Manager Krishna Reddy told media persons here.

The DRM''s office is located adjacent to the Krantivira Sangoli Rayanna (KSR) main railway station in the city centre.

The state''s mini secretariat Vikas Soudha adjacent to the iconic Vidhana Soudha in the city centre has also been shut for sanitisation after a government employee working in it tested COVID positive.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), entrusted with the task of containing the virus spread, has already sanitised a portion of the massive building in the city centre.

After an employee of the food and civil supplies department tested positive, all offices on the ground floor of the mini-secretariat were sealed and sanitised.

The city registered 17 fresh cases on Thursday, taking the total number of positive cases to 844. With 14 discharged earlier in the day, 384 have been cured of the infection, while 408 are under treatment.

Of the 114 COVID deaths across the southern state since March 10, Bengaluru has accounted for 51 till date.
