Surely Idols are just stones & ornaments..They cannot help itself. How U intelligent people who fall for such trap of few, forgetting the TRUE GOD and his teachings. People blindly believe, the Idols are a way to God. They are mind-washed by the few who knows how to play with illiterate (illiterate in recognizing the Creator) mind which doesnt recognize their own CREATOR & live a life of UNAWARE. When trouble comes they go to this few & beg to solve their problems.
When we learn about our CREATOR and stop depending on such man made Gods -- The CREATOR will surely help U in recognising himself.
Ask with ALLAH no need any intermediate of human, idols, or any thing.
He is your creator & he knows what is in your heart.. U just need to ask him O ALLAH, the one who's hand is my soul, Guide me... Trust me, U will not need any intermediate and idols and fake predators who might deceive U when u ask other than ALLAH.
Learn who is ALLAH and the reality of IDOLs.

Bengaluru, May 10: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday accused the state government of not preparing proper guidelines to bring back people who are stranded near the Karnataka-Maharashtra border areas.

"No proper guidelines have been given to officials to bring back people who are stranded near the Karnataka-Maharashtra border. From the last 45 days, many of these people have not got any relief nor are there any proper directions or guidelines from the state government," alleged Kumaraswamy.

He also accused the state government of cheating the people of Karnataka.

"Karnataka government is cheating people the same way it cheated with the flood compensation. The state government had announced lakhs of rupees as compensation to those who lost houses in the flood last year. But nobody has got the records or details as to how many people got benefited from it," he added.
Fifty-three more COVID-19 cases were reported in Karnataka on Sunday, the state government said.

The total number of cases in the state is at 847, including 405 discharged and 31 deaths so far, the bulletin said.

Kochi, Mar 1:Adheringto a policy of "zero tolerance" towards clergy who sexually exploit minors, Pope Francis has expelled a Kerala priestconvicted of rape from all priestly duties and rights, according to church officials.

Syro-Malabar Church priest Robin Vadakkumchery is currently serving a jail term for impregnating a 16-year-old girl in Mananthavady diocese.

"Vadakkumchery has been dispensed from the exercise of priestly duties and rights. That means he has been reduced to the state of a layman", a Church official told PTI.

He was suspended from priestly duties soon after the news about his crime was reported in early 2017.

A POCSO court in Thalassery last year had sentenced Vadakkumchery to 20 years of Rigorous Imprisonment and slapped a fine of Rs three lakh on him.

The priest, 50, was the vicar of the local church in Kottiyur in Kannur district and manager at the school where the victim was studying.

He was arrested two years ago while trying to flee to Canada.

The Vatican's action came two years after Pope Francis made it clear that all bishops should adhere to a policy of "zero tolerance" for clergy who sexually exploit children.
