Two hospitalised after Ullal Dargah fight

June 18, 2011

Mangalore, Jun 18: Two persons were hospitalised after a fight broke out in the premises of Sayyid Madani Dargah in Ullal on Saturday.

The injured, who are recovering at Nethaji Hospital in Tokkottu, have been identified as Zakir Hussain (40) a resident of Mukkacheri and Abdul Kabeer Bhukari (45), a resident of Melengady.

The row erupted following the appointment of Ashraf Ahmad as the ad-hoc president of the Dargah and the Central Jumma Masjid on Friday. It is alleged that a group of nearly a dozen people supported by Ashraf Ahmad was behind the assault.

Following a much delayed dissolution of the management committee of the Dargah and its Masjid last week an election was held to choose 50 members for the new committee, 10 each from five zones such as Alekala, Melangady, Kotepura, Mukkacheri and Kallapu Kariya.

However, the meeting of new committee convened on Friday to nominate five office bearers, concluded in dispute. Amidst the confusion, Ullal Assistant Qazi Syed Koorath Thangal, who presided over the meeting declared Ashraf Ahmed as ad-hoc president.

Outgoing president UK Monu has declined to comment on the issue.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka Minister for Health and Family Welfare B Sriramulu on Thursday clarified that his remarks have been misinterpreted, wherein he apparently said that ''only God can save people from Covid''.

The Bharatiya Janata Party leader slammed KPCC President D K Shivakumar for spreading false information and said that my words were not meant to cause panic among the masses.

''Respected Shivakumar, this is a clarification regarding my words that have been misinterpreted and misunderstood.

While responding to claims of the opposition that the government’s negligence, irresponsibility and the lack of coordination among ministers are responsible for the rise in cases in the state, I stated that ‘these accusations are far from the truth. People need to be aware and cautious to avoid the spread of the virus. This plays a vital role in controlling the pandemic. If we fail at this crucial step the situation can get complicated. And if things go worse, then only God can save us'', Mr Sriramulu said in a series of posts on Twitter
