Mangaluru, Oct 27: A week after the principal of city-based Milagress College was thrashed by a student for denying him examination hall ticket on grounds of attendance shortage, a group of Muslim students on Thursday staged a protest at the entrance of the college against the alleged communal discrimination exhibited by the college authorities.

Activists of Campus Front of India, a students' organisation, also have joined agitating students and their parents, who claim that they were denied permission to appear for examinations just because they belong to the religion of a student who had attacked the principal.

Among those who were denied hall tickets include 21 Muslim students belonging and 1 Christian student. The agitators believe that the college tried hide their real intention by including one non-Muslim student in the list.

The protesters alleged that the college authorities deliberately targeting Muslim students and trying to harm their future after the assault on principal by a Muslim student. “None of us supported the student who thrashed principal. We all have condemned it and protested against the heinous act. However, the college authorities are trying to give communal tinge to the entire episode,” claimed a hijab-clad girl who is one among the 22 agitating students.

When the students refused to vacate the place the collage authorities informed the Mangaluru North Police. Within a few minutes inspector Shantharam and team reached the spot and brought the situation under control.

Speaking to coastaldigest.com, one of the agitating girls said that around 90 degree students had shortage of attendance and the college had announced their names.
But, the college allowed most of them to appear for examinations except 22 students.
“What kind of decision is this? We never expected that the college authorities would resort to such an injustice,” she lamented.

Another student, who was accompanied by his parents at the protest site, said that the 22 degree students were asked to fetch their parents to the college last week. “Our parents are coming to college everyday for past few days to meet the concerned authorities. However, the principal and other authorities deliberately avoiding them,” he complained.

He also said that when the college authorities realised that all the 22 students would stage a protest, they personally contacted a few students and promised them to give hall ticket on certain conditions and asked them not to support the other students.

However, the students realised their trick and demanded hall tickets for all the 22 students including girls, he said.

“If they disallow all the 90 students who faced attendance shortage to appear for examination we cannot complain against the college. But, they gave hall tickets to majority of them and exhibited discrimination against Muslim students. We want to bring this issue to light,” he said.

The 22 students who are denied hall ticket are:

I BBA (2 Students): Yasir Arafat, Mohammed Afrid

II BBM (6 Students): Mahammed Marzook, Mohammed Shahid, Usama, Atijamma Thazweena, Mohammed Asfak, Shahezan M

III BBM (7 Students): Mehraz A S, Saxson Joyster Bhagyan, Mohammed Nizamuddin, Mohammed Shanavaz, Muhammad Sinan U H, Amal Mariam, Anwaz

II B.Com (5 Students): Ahamad Sadat Nawfal, Ansaf Mohammed, Fazil Ibrahim, Zulaika Mehroofa, Mohammad Sinan

III B.Com (2 Students): Mohammed Zahid, Sheik Ibrahim Saheel

I second what Ahmed (Al-Ain) has said. If the Muslims in India were peaceful like the Parsees, I dont see any trouble with RSS or Hindus. Most Hindus are good people.

Very sad to see Muslim brothers supporting immature acts of Muslim students .very bad .by doing like this what are we trying to prove .comment no 16.clearly pointed and I really appreciate that gentleman.if we have problem with other community owned colleges ..why should we join at first place .go and join Muslim owned institutes .quality of education is utter flop in our institutes .for god sake let's not back students who slap principal and who protest inspite of not having attendance ....mainly gulf industries who are owned by Muslims don't hire Muslims for top position becoz on the basis expertise Hindus and Christians and also brahmins are first priority for them .our education must reflect in our action and internal transformation must happen .

If Muslims attendance is shortage then of course they are the one to be punished. I wonder parents are not willing to question students why there is such shortage of attendance. What they were doing during college hours,is their real intention is to study or something else?

If Nithyananda plays his game with young girls.
if Hitler killed many jews..
Blame them not the entire community...

Intelligent people will blame only those who make fault .
the people who think evil will try to blame the whole community instead of the one who committed fault.

That's a CLEAR injustice

Muslims in Mangaluru suffered a series of injuries and insults in recent days. These are messages from the God. we must over come this situation by changing ourselves. We can build 10000 times better education institution than Milagres and Aloysius. But why we did not build? We will continue to suffer if we dont unite and establish educational institutions now.

Hmm.. Coastal Karnataka has many reported problems between Muslims and College Authorities. No doubt, that discrimination against certain group or community of students has been on the rise recently.
Let's hope for justice.

But what were the students doing without attending classes? Shortage of attendance of over 90 students... Parents, Take note!

This is too much...! Principal targetting Muslim community for 2 slap from 1 student.
Now is clear, this principal was not deserved for only 2 slap, need more than that.
CFI good job. Fight for justice and we all with you. Teach that communal Principal in legal way.

Student hit Principal is Wrong we Condemn. No Muslim will support that punish him as per the Law. Do not show any Mercy on him. Let law take its own Action. But as per the report among 90 students who are facing shortage of attendance only SELECTED 21 MUSLIMS were targeted which is not at all acceptable and the Higher Authority or the Govt should interfere and should give justice to the students. Either you reject all 90 students or else issue the hall ticket to all. Dont bring Religion in between.

Peace

Stop politicising & targetting towards particular community is not fair.... student who attacked principal is condemned by everyone including campus front.... Making suffer to particular community students is not fair... Milagres management should handle this issue very seriously & solve it....

The walls of the house walls and its interior have graphics related to photography.

"I have been photographing since 1986. Building this house is like a dream come true. We also named our 3 children-Canon, Nikon and Epson. These all are three camera names.

Krupa said that it was their cherished dream to build a house like a camera.

"My husband is a photographer. It was our dream to build a house like a camera. We planned and built this house. We feel like we are living inside a different world, inside a camera. I am very proud of my husband," she said.

Canon, their elder child said, "My friends used to ask me whether it was my real name. Now, I tell them yes, photography is my father's passion and hence he named me Canon."

On social media, the picture of the unique shaped house has been shared widely.

"This is called love for the passion," said one user on Twitter.

Another user commented: "A camera-obsessed photographer from India builds a camera-shaped house! 49-year-old Ravi Hongal has spent over $95,000 building the 3-story house, which looks like a camera in the town of Belgaum in India."

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Working President of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, Eashwar Khandre on Friday said that his party has extended its support to the demand made by the former chief minister of Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy, that a House Committee should be formed to probe into Mangaluru violence.

Emphasising the need for a judicial probe into the incident, Khandre said, "Congress has always said that the truth should prevail and that there should be a judicial inquiry and investigation by a sitting Supreme Court judge or a High Court judge into the incident."

"We support his (HD Kumaraswamy) statement that a House Committee should be set up to probe into the incident of Mangaluru violence. Two innocent people lost their lives during the anti-CAA protest, it is very unfortunate," he added.

Two people were killed in Mangaluru in the alleged police firing after protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act turned violent on December 19.

The Act grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India on or before 31, 2014.
