Police deployed at Mumbai office of Dr Zakir Naik as precautionary measure

July 7, 2016

Mumbai, Jul 7: Police have been deployed outside the city office of a foundation run by internationally acclaimed orator and advocate of peace, Dr Zakir Naik, who is in news after a section of media tired to drag his name into recent Bangladesh terror attack case. MUMBAI-POLICE

A senior Mumbai Police official said security personnel have been deployed outside Dr Naik's 'Islamic Research Foundation' office at Dongri area in South Mumbai, as a precautionary measure in the wake of the recent developments.

"We have neither received any threat perception nor particular instructions from the state or Central government. We have deployed our forces only as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident," the official said.

He, however, parried question on whether Mumbai Police has received any particular information or instruction to share some inputs on Dr Naik.

"There is nothing as such. This is something which is being handled at the state and Central government level. But as a law enforcing agency, we are keeping a close eye on the situation," the official said.

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju had yesterday told reporters in Delhi that, "Zakir Naik's speech is a matter of concern for us. Our agencies are working on this. But as a minister, I will not comment what action will be taken."

Bangladeshi newspaper 'Daily Star' had reported that militant Rohan Imtiaz, son of an Awami League leader, ran a propaganda on Facebook last year quoting Dr Naik. The report falsely claimed that Dr Naik urged all Muslims to be terrorists.

Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant yesterday said he had written to the Union Home Minister, demanding a ban on Dr Naik and Islamic Research Foundation, in the country's interest.

Whole world including communal India worried and scared Zakir Naik since Europe, Western people are converting Islam through Zakir Naiks's preach. They really inspired by Zakir Naik.
When Bush terms, converting rate is gone sky rocket and Modi Govt. scared that rate since whenever they go against Muslims, more non-Muslims get converting. So it's an attempt to avoid. God is the best planner.

Only 20 out of 68 Congress MLAs are now active on social media: D K Shivakumar

News Network

June 23,2020

Bengaluru, June 23: Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar has urged his party colleagues to be active on social media to counter the propaganda of Bharatiya Janata Party.

Speaking to media persons, the KPCC president said that no more than 20 out of the 68 Congress MLAs are active on social media.

“All those MLAs who are doing well need to be projected. We want leaders, not mere followers. They all should be the face of Congress in Karnataka. Party should not depend on just my face or Siddaramaiah’s,” he said.

Shivakumar’s diktat has resulted in the party’s social media unit scrambling to get leaders to create their accounts.

“We’re pressuring all the party MLAs and leaders. We’re asking their personal assistants or gunmen to operate their accounts if they are not savvy with social media,” KPCC social media chief A N Nataraj Gowda said.

He pointed out that the 20 MLAs who are active on social media include U T Khader, Dinesh Gundu Rao, Priyank Kharge, Krishna Byre Gowda among others.

“We’re also trying to get the accounts verified of those who are beginning to get active. For example, it was only recently that we got the accounts of S R Patil and Vijay Singh verified,” Gowda said.

Tapping the full potential of social media is crucial for the Congress because the BJP has found much success in reaching out to voters through various online platforms.

In fact, ahead of the 2018 Assembly elections, the Congress found that there were 10 ministers and some 40 MLAs who had turned a blind eye towards social media.

Shivakumar said he was also working on putting in place a system in the party under which all developments related to the state and country will be communicated to all party leaders at 10 am every day.
