Mangaluru, Nov 12: The leaders of Muslim community in the coastal city of Mangaluru including religious heads have unanimously condemned the offensive social media post on the demise of BJP veteran and union minister Ananth Kumar.

Hours after the death of the minister, a Facebook page titled ‘Mangalore Muslims’ termed Ananth Kumar as a “communal” and “Brahmin conspirator”. It went on to say that he should not take a rebirth to destroy this country again. The Mangaluru South Police have registered a case against the unknown admin of the Facebook page over the post.

Within minutes, the distasteful post received hundreds of critical comments from different sections of society including Muslims who felt that the page has been run by some miscreants with the sole intention of defaming Muslims of Mangaluru and triggering anti-Muslim sentiments in the society.

Besides, local representatives of religious organisations of Muslims such as Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Jamiyyathul Ulama, Imams Council, Jamiat Ahle Hadith etc have urged the police to trace and arrest the admin of the Facebook page.

“This is not the first time the ‘Mangalore Muslims’ Facebook page posting ugly and communally provocative message. It has been constantly trying to defame Muslims in general and Muslims of Mangaluru in particular through provocative messages and memes in the name of Muslims,” commented one Anis Ahmed from Mangaluru.

“The ‘Mangalore Muslims’ Facebook should change its name as ‘Mangalore anti-Muslims’, because no Muslim can curse the dead. Speaking ill of the dead is not our culture. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has taught Muslims to talk good or remain silent,” stated Saiful Islam, another commenter from Mangaluru.

Wat dodanna said is correct, but i want to add some points too. There are many chaddi groups which are continuously spreading hatred against one or two religions! I request Mangalore administration to look into all such groups (both side) and ban those groups!! In short i want to see Facebook itself getting banned in Mangalore!! We can leave in peace if this thing gets banned!

No muslim will give bad comment on any dead person.  I am sure that bad comments by Mangalore Muslims facebook admin is created by anti nationals to defame Muslims.   I am also sure that this face book account is established by same group who are behind creating Indian mujahideen, love jihad etc which are totally false and do not exist in reality.   These are only imaginery organisation created by anti Muslims and anti Indians.   Police should catch the real admin of Mangalore Muslims facebook account and do not arrest innocents just to fill the blank.   Strict action should be taken against the culprits.   In the meantime, i extend my heartfelt condolence to the family of deceased Anant Kumar.    None should have right to criticise any dead person.

It is not accepted.

Mangaluru: The Karnataka-Kerala border closure at Talapady amidst nationwide Covid-19 lockdown has not only prevented the movement of vehicles and people from Kasaragod to Mangaluru but also stopped the supply of life-saving drugs from Karnataka’s medical hub to its bordering district.

Hundreds of people from Kasaragod and Kannur districts who were treated in hospitals of Mangaluru for past several years are still dependent on some of the medicines that are available only in Mangaluru. Such medicines have become inaccessible for Keralites following the border closure. Every day, a number of people from Kerala call their acquaintances in Mangaluru to see if there is a way to get medicine.

In fact, Karnataka government has blocked all 23 roads that connect the state with Kerala. The reason given was, Kasaragod is the hotbed of coronavirus and allowing traffic even in emergency cases might lead to spread of Covid-19 in border districts of Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu and Mysuru. The attitude has resulted in the death of around a dozen people in Kasaragod district in last couple of weeks.

Even after the intervention of the Supreme Court a few days ago, the authorities in Karnataka are facing the allegation of being hostile either by blocking the way ahead or turning a deaf ear to the patients reaching their border. 

At this juncture, three Good Samaritans – P K G Anoop Kumar of Canara Engineering College, Mangaluru, Satheesh Shetty of Kasaragod Patla and P Jayaprakash of Ponnangala – have come to the aid of the Malayalee patients who are dependent on medicines from Mangaluru. 

The three activists who are currently staying (in fact stranded amidst lockdown) in Mangaluru, are delivering life-saving medicines to patients in Kerala through Kerala fire servicemen and policemen posted at the Talapady border. 

Anoop Kumar says that took the initiative after a woman, Maria Augustine from Chemberi (Taliparamba) Nellikkutty, contacted him for a medicine. He managed to buy it from a medical store in the port city and handed it over to a Kerala fire serviceman at Talapady border. 

All three are activists of Communist Party of India (Marxist). After moving to Mangaluru, they set up ‘We Donate Charitable Society’ to donate blood. The activists say that they are ready to dispatch medicines from Mangaluru to any person in Kerala. Those Keralites who are in need of medicines from may contact: 888471344 - Anoop, 9895135881 - Jayaprakash
