Kasargod, Sep 8: The Kasaragod police have registered a case against a Salafi preacher associated with a mosque here on a complaint that his speech being circulated in the social media will create enmity among different communities in society.

salafiDistrict Police Chief Thomson Jose said that he has handed over the complaint to the police station concerned and ordered them to register a case on Wednesday itself.

He said that a case was being registered against Shamsudheen Fareed alias Shamsudheen Palath under Section 153(A) (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion etc.) of the Indian Penal Code. Further charges, if necessary, would be considered following an investigation, he said.

The complaint was lodged by Kanhangad-based advocate C. Shukkur, who is district president of the Kerala Lawyers' Forum, an association of lawyers loyal to the Indian Muslim League. He is also the district government pleader and public prosecutor.

Mr. Thomson also said that he had handed over to the DPC the compact disk containing the controversial speeches published on YouTube.

Shamsudheen is a preacher in a Salafi mosque at Pallipram here. His controversial speeches at Karaparamba in Kozhikode was based on a book by Saudi scholar Shekh Saleh al-Fawzan on cultivating emotional attachment among fellow Muslims and the need for showing aversion to non-Muslims and their culture.

When contacted, Mr. Shukkur said that he had lodged the complaint as an ordinary citizen. He said that the controversial speeches call upon Muslims in the State to avoid showing personal attachment and respect to non-Muslims. The speeches also urge Muslims to live in areas inhabited only by Muslims, he said.

He said in his complaint that the preacher's speeches were suspected to be a deliberate attempt to undermine prevailing peaceful atmosphere in society. The circulation of the speeches via social media would also promote among non-Muslims suspicion towards Muslims, he said.

MR VENKI AND YOGESH.

May God bless u from hell, U donno what u people are doing, keep the ego aside, and come to the true religion, that is islam. Only one religion is acceptable that is islam, only Quran says so, No other book says so.

Even the Coming of Prophet mohammed is mentioned in vedas, even Shri Shri ravi shanker also told and confirmed.

Ravi shanker also knows that Islam is a true religion, but he is scared of rss to accept islam.

Mr. Yogesh / Venki / Sangeeth, i think you are not living in this world. Yu are like a frog in the well. You should come out of the well and see this beautifu world. You are followoing hate mongers like Trump/ Sadhvi prachi and Kalla Bhatta. These hate mongers are spreding poison among different religions whereas you cannot find any thing wrong in Zakir Naik speech. You are criticising his speech only because of frustration due to his popularity among people of other religions. You better consult with a good Doctor as you may go mad soon. Too much of jealosy and hatred is not good for your health. Try to be human being first. Learn to respect others so that you will be respected. Dont follow speeches from Hate mongers. God bless you.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: A day after Congress staged a nationwide 'Save Democracy' protest, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy slammed Congress for "dividing" the political parties and "buying MLAs" and questioned their "democratic behaviour" to lure Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLAs who supported them.

Kumaraswamy, in a media statement, said, "Is it a democratic behaviour to lure MLAs of other parties through political shenanigans and later merging with them?"

"Congress is an expert in dividing political parties and purchase of MLAs," said Kumaraswamy adding, "If you are dividing the like-minded party MLAs through deceit, who would support you?"

He alleged that the term "horse trade" in politics came to be used because of Congress.

Congress had tied to divide the Janata Dal (Secular) in 2004. To this, he added, "To avoid the party being hijacked by the Congress, I had to oust the Congress-JD(S) coalition government through a political coup."

Kumaraswamy further accused, "Haven't the Congress who is making a big noise about the purchase of MLAs divided the JD(S) in the past? Is it not a fact that for the sake of one Rajya Sabha seat, the Congress government in Karnataka purchased eight JD(S) MLAs?"

Both -- Congress and BJP -- are "criminals" in purchase matter, he added.

Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil after simmering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister and the state unit chief of Congress.

The Congress has accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to bring down the Gehlot government. The BJP has rejected the allegations.

Bengaluru, Feb 17: Days after 10 MLAs were inducted in the Cabinet, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa is likely to expand his Cabinet again as some BJP MLAs are unhappy, said BJP sources.

Several leaders including Umesh Katti, CP Yogeshwar, Raju Gowda and MP Renukacharya are miffed over the recent cabinet expansion, claim sources.

On February 6, ST Somashekar, Ramesh Laxmanrao Jarkiholi, Anand Singh, K Sudhakar, BA (Byrathi) Basavaraj, Arabail Hebbar Shivaram, Hasavanagowda C Patil, K Gopalaiah, Narayana Gowda and Shrimant Balasaheb Patil took oath as ministers.

It should be noted that many MLAs had won the by-polls on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket in December last year after switching loyalties from the Janata Dal (Secular) (JDS) and Congress.

In the December 5 by-polls held in 15 Assembly constituencies, the BJP had won 12, while Congress managed to bag only two. One seat was won by an Independent candidate while the JDS drew a blank.
