Udupi, February 16: “It's our duty to spread virtues or goodness and try to eradicate the evils in the society. Evils such as alcohol, drugs, immorality, and exploitation of women have damaged the health of the society. Fighting against such evils is an integral part of our faith” said Moulvi Abdussalam Uppingadi, Regional Organizer, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind who was here to deliver a talk on the valedictory ceremony of 'Khaire Ummath” campaign here in Jamia Masjid, Udupi.

“Evils should be countered with goodness. By doing this, your enemy will turn into your closest friend”, he said.

Moulana Hamid Umri, General Secretary of Muslim Muttahida Maaz, Shimoga district, said that women's protection in India is a major problem. Citing Renuka Chowdhary that “in our country, all the efforts to safeguard women have failed”, he said that the problem needs immediate attention.

Akber Ali in his inaugural address, expressed concern that people, who know that mishandling of cooking gas could cause an explosion, are not realizing that the TVs can also blow up their houses, with the kind of evils it spreads.

Moulana Aziz Umari recited verses from the glorious Quran. Mohammed Markada compered the program. District Secretary Anwar Ali proposed the vote of thanks.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Karnataka Forest Minister Anand Singh on Wednesday said that there was no criminal case filed directly against him.

When asked about PIL filed in the Karnataka High Court against him, Singh told media: "Some lawyer has filed a PIL against me in the High Court. I cannot stop anyone from filing the PIL."

"I have given my criminal record. There is no criminal case directly filed against me. My name is there in some cases but in 'others category'. We will see what happens," he said.

When asked about Congress leader Siddaramaiah's comments criticising him for being given the forest portfolio, Singh said: "I cannot comment on what he said against me as he is a former chief minister and very senior leader."

"Also the opposition always tries to make allegations against me. That is why he criticised me," he said.

Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly Siddaramaiah on Monday demanded that Forest Minister Anand Singh should either be expelled from the ministry or assigned a different portfolio.

A number of cases are pending against Singh including those registered under the Karnataka Forest Act.
