Mangaluru, Jan 16: “I have attended several major events organised by various organisations and political parties at Nehru Maidan. But this is the only event which instigated me to think seriously about life,” said Arun Kumar, city based a college student.

Arun Kumar was one of the thousands of knowledge seekers who were impressed by theThe Miracle', an ongoing exhibition on Islam, organised by Karnataka Salafi Association from January 9 to 15 at Nehru Maidan in the heart of the city.

He also revealed that when hired an auto-rickshaw to the exhibition venue on Sunday evening, the driver Johnson too started praising the exhibition. “This shows how people of all faiths were attracted by this exhibition. I salute the organisers for allaying the misconceptions about Islam,” he added.

According to the organisers, though the majority of the visitors were Muslims, thousands of non-Muslims too attended the exhibition and many of them appreciated the selfless effort.

A talk onthe real message of Quran' by Zaid Patel, the founder of the iPlus Telemedia Private Ltd, on Sunday night attracted nearly thirty thousand people. Husain Salafi, president of Sharjah based Indian Islahi Centre, explained that terrorism and Islam cannot coexist.

The exhibition premises was spread over 30,000 square feet of 400 plus informative panels in English and Kannada. Volunteers explained tenets of the religion to the visitors in two air-conditioned pavilions, for women and men separately, at the exposition.

All the panels at the expo were done based on scientific models. Topics such as embryology that speaks about science and Islam; and dangers of alcohol that tells people alcohol does not make anyone healthy or strong, are explained at length. The other counters relate to wonders of the human body, where the purpose of each part of the body is explained.

There was also section to eradicate misconceptions about Islam and clarify that terrorist organisations such as ISIS that use the name of Islam are in fact anti-Islamic groups. There were also separate video theatres in the two languages that offer multimedia sermons.

"This is an attempt to eradicate evil ideas that people have about Islam. To become good from bad and also a campaign against substance abuse, wastage of food and terrorism. The end result we want is that people of all religion to give away communal thinking and live in peace," said Mohammed Haneef Uppinangady, president of the association.

Commenting on people often linking Islam to terrorism and IS, Haneef stressed that Islam teaches about peace and Holy Book clearly points out that nobody has a right to kill anyone. If one does, he/she is killing the entire mankind. The exhibition also exhorted visitors not to get attracted by the teaching of IS and terror outfits and it is against the religion.

Viren
Wake up man.. Even indian media could not prove that Dr.Zakir naik is inspiring youths to join ISIS then how can you prove that. If you have proof of this then go and submit to indian government so that they can take action instead barking here.
One more thing if my allah decide something to happen then it will happen no one in this earth can stop that,... Again no one..

Salafis are the ones who had tried to bring Zakri Naik ( who inspired youths to join ISIS) to Mangalore. Now they are trying to say Islam and ISIS is different. They are fooling people. What they are doing is missionary job. How did mangalore police allow this to happen?

If U depend on false media information about islam and Muslims... Many will lose in knowing the reality of LIFE which the CREATOR has given us... to know the TRUTH about life , we should look into the Source... everything will be cleared when we take the knowledge from the original source...

Non MUslims should atleast read one time \the QURAN\" once in their lifetime at the earliest... to know what islam says about LIFE on this earth and the hereafter .... God can give us LIFE again after death, the way he had given us first time... its simple for him... (Praise b to God alone)"

I really appreciate the hard work of KSA for spreading the true message of islam to non muslims. I also believe that all of mangaloreans had attended the exhibition except soofis and so called sunnis and SSF

Bengaluru, Apr 30: The Karnataka government on Thursday decided to allow migrant workers, tourists, students and others stranded in different parts of the state due to the ongoing lockdown to return to their native places, a day after the Centre issued guidelines for the process.

This will be a one-time movement and the government would arrange buses for those in need but they should bear the expenses, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J C Madhuswamy said. He also said people willing to return to the state would have to undergo tests for COVID-19. The decision was taken at the state cabinet meet and it might come into effect from Friday as the Chief Secretary will have to issue an official order, he said.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi had taken decision on movement of people and the Centre had issued a circular in this regard. Following this we have decided to permit interstate and inter-district movement," he told reporters here.

Travel expenses should be borne by those willing to return and if they want the government can provide buses from the state transport corporations. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday issued orders allowing migrant workers, tourists, students and other people stranded in different parts of the country to move to their respective destinations with certain conditions, giving a big relief to the distressed people. Decision on opening of salons and liquor shops will be taken after May 3, he said.

Madhuswamy said permission would be given for one-time movement of labourers and others who want to go from one district to other for work or any other purpose. Those operating industry or establishment and want to move from place to place for management purpose will be given passes with strict scrutiny and through checks.

Responding to a question, the minister said, "we don't know yet how many are willing to go, where they will go, if some one asks for permission, we will permit." "One family or two or three people want to go, they can use taxi. If too many people want to go, we will provide facility through transport corporation buses," he said.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: With preparations underway for conducting exams for the final semester/ year students in the state, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr CN Ashwathnarayan on Monday directed the respective universities to conduct exams for the backlog papers as well.

"In the wake of COVID-19, it has been decided to hold exams only for the students of final semester/year courses. It has come to our notice that some universities have decided against conducting exams for final year students who have a backlog to clear from previous semesters. This is unpardonable," the Deputy Chief Minister said.

"Our intention is to see that the final year students finish their course. In the present situation, conducting only final semester exams won't help. We have to help the students in clearing their backlogs," added Ashwathnarayan, directing all universities to compulsorily conduct these exams.

Meanwhile, Ashwathnarayan thanked the staff and officials of various government departments who were responsible for successfully conducting the CET exams even amidst the difficult situation in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.

"In all, 1,94,419 students had registered for the CET exams, of which 1,75,428 wrote the exams. The percentage of students who took up the exams this year was equivalent to that of the previous years, in normal times," the DCM informed.

"After we successfully conducted the exams, Arunachal Pradesh is going to conduct the Public Service Commission exams on the lines of how we successfully conducted the exams. Likewise, even our KPSC has said it will conduct the exams. We must appreciate the good work of the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), which has set an example for others," Ashwathnarayan said.

The deputy chief minister said that 33 colleges in various districts across the state faced shortage of land and that it is the responsibility of the District Commissioners (DCs) to get the lands sanctioned for all these colleges.
In Bagalkot district alone land has not been sanctioned for six degree colleges, he said.

Reacting to this, Bagalkot DC Captain Rajendra assured to look into the matter as soon as he receives the proposal from department officials.

"Similarly, there is shortage of land for five Diploma colleges and 28 ITI colleges in different parts of the state. The DCs must immediately pay attention to this. Once they get the land, buildings will come up within no time," the Karnataka deputy chief minister said.
