Mangaluru, Nov 22: Thousands of Muslims from different parts of undivided Dakshina Kannada district on Tuesday gathered at Nehru Maidan in the heart of Mangaluru city pledging to uphold Muslim Personal Law and to unitedly oppose the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led-Union Government's attempt to interfere in Islamic Shariah.

All the speakers at theShariah Protection Conference' organised by the Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi exhorted the Muslim community to resist any move to amend India's Muslim Personal Law that is based on the tenets of Shariah.

Inaugurating the conference, B K Abdul Khader Musliyar Khasimi, chief of Bambrana Juma Masjid, said Islamic Shariah is timeless and nobody would be allowed to dabble in its basic tenets.

“Islamic Shariah is built on the edifice of the Holy Qur'an, Prophet's Sunnah and the perception and perspectives commonly shared by scholars all over the world. It is the decree of Allah, the Almighty. No government or system can change or alter it. It is unalterable, perennial and fit to survive all the time and it will withstand the challenges of all ages,” he said.

"Muslim community has opposed strongly when the idea of Uniform Civil Code was mooted 30 years ago. It is anti-Islamic and impractical in India, where people with various faiths and religions co-exist. Moreover, it will escalate problems in the country," he said.

"It is an irony that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is keen on protection of rights of Muslim women, but he has failed to protect his wife. Quran gave equal rights to women in their ancestral property. It is unacceptable to agree the decisions taken by those who do not have knowledge on Islam, Quran and Sharia Law. We have clergies to discuss about Sharia Law and talaq. Let the government concentrate on administration," Khasimi said.

"Talaq is explained very clearly in Sharia Law. It is not uttered on a single day. There are several steps to be followed before triple talaq is completed. There are opportunities for couple to reunite even after first and second talaq. Divorce as per triple talaq becomes valid only when all the steps fail to reunite the couple," he explained.

Muhammed Kunhi, a representative of Jamat-e-Islami Hind said debate on triple talaq and uniform civil code is irrelevant when the nation has several other major issues to be sorted out. He pointed out that Ram Jethmalani, who was the law minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, had rejected Uniform Civil Code as non-practical move.

"Conduct a survey to ascertain the actual number of Muslim women who suffered due to triple talaq. In fact talaq is a blessing when divorce becomes necessary for couple," he added.

“The situation is such that fascist- minded people are out to dictate terms on trivial issues apart from interfering in the administration, arts and literature in the country. The attempts to strengthen multicultural society are being construed as an offence,” he said. Kunhi also called it as the nefarious intention of members of the Sangh Parivar, who are enforcing their political agenda.

Abdul Azeez Darimi from Karnataka Samastha Mushavara, said Muslims are united to protect Sharia Law in India. "Sharia Law is not against the Indian Constitution. Neither Parliament nor courts have the right to deny the fundamental rights under Indian Constitution. Hence, it is not possible for the government to introduce Uniform Civil Code in India, where over 6,000 castes and sub-castes exist. Sharia Law is not against non-Muslims," he added.

Muslim Central Committee president K S Mohammed Masood presided.

REMINDER OF THE DAY
When the foolish one speaks, do not reply to him, for better than a response (to him) is silence, and if you speak to him you have aided him, and if you left him (with no reply) in extreme sadness he dies.
- Imam Ash-Shaafi'ee (ra)
\And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace\"
{Surah Al Furqan 25: Verse 63}"

Letter to Naren

Dear Brother Naren Kotian,

You have been commenting on this website for so many years now. Apart from a few readers responding to you, have you seen this make any change in beliefs that millions firmly follow? Ever wondered why?

Let me tell you why. You see Brother Naren , you aren't born without a reason. There is a reason why you are created. You are nothing but a 'number of days' . As each day passes , you approach something that no body could deny ie \DEATH\". All rich/poor/powerful/rulers everyone is dead now. Of which some names we know and billions we don't.
Listen to me carefully now. This could be a turning point for you and rethink your own opinions.

The Creator whom you call Brahma, Has created you to worship Him. He will call you back on the Judgement Day. He will hold you accountable for all your good deeds/bad deeds. He will ask you if you have fulfilled the duties He commanded you to do. He will then reward you with Paradise for you can live eternally/ punish you in Fire.

If this message looks strange, please read all religious Scriptures. Every religious Scripture has these things in common:
1. One God 2. Life is to Worship Him Alone 3. Judgement Day.
As a well wisher , I would wish that Brahma whom Muslims call Allah (Arabic), give you guidance and grant you Paradise.
Please don't hesitate to buy the Last Book from Brahma ie the Quran. It is available in Kannada translation in Mangalore. Have a great day Brother Naren."

Excellent gathering. Nice to see all the ulemas and leaders of different groups who have come under one platform to oppose the interference of the government. This is highly laudable of the Muslim Central committee President along with all the office bearers and members who worked relentlessly to get everyone on board. A gathering of 50000 people is hugely commendable and hope we Muslim brothers will always gather to oppose any decision which is against our Sharia and also unite against terrorism and come together to help our brother and sisters in distress. India is our country and no one can tell us to leave our country as we will not and shall unite always as we have shown yesterday. I had sometime back read in an article what was the Central committee doing etc etc. This is a very big achievement by them Kudos to them and I hope we all unite and be united.

If you go back the history In 1974 Congress did the Nasbandi and Turkman gate scandal particularly control the Muslim population ended up with Emergency and thrown the Regime of Congress out of power and again it tried in 1985 Shah Banu case and failed keep the power at Center and now the Shang Pariwar ( BJP+) back again with same old agenda with new theory to demolish Muslim personal Law but these major political power house forget that once it touched the issue of Muslims either Sharia law or Babri Masjid the result is ended up with Musilm Unity. So the time is back again to show the unity .. Jai Hind Jai Muslim

Bengaluru, May 17: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Transport Minister Laxman Savadi on Sunday wrote to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari requesting to issue new lockdown guidelines including permission to operate public transport and said the lockdown has caused a financial loss of Rs 16,00 crore to all four Karnataka Transport Undertakings.

In view of these problems, the state Transport Minister requested Gadkari to permit the deployment of Non-AC buses on scheduled routes to ensure the adequacy of services.

The four State Transport Undertakings (STUs) in Karnataka which are providing bus-based public transport services within the state and to the neighbouring states are Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC), North Eastern Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NEKRTC) and Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).

"KSRTC, NWKRTC and NEKRTC operate buses for mofussil services i.e. Interdistrict, intradistrict and interstate, whereas BMTC operates only in urban and suburban areas in the city of Bengaluru. The four STUs put together hold a fleet of about 24,900 buses including 1,520 air-conditioned buses and operate about 71.00 lakh km. per day and carries about 98.00 lakh passengers every single day," Savadi outlined in the letter.

The Minister said due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the lockdown that ensued have brought regular bus operations and functioning to a grinding halt.

"This has caused a devastating impact on the operations of all the four STUs due to the combination of lack of revenue and continuing fixed costs such as salaries and pensions to staff, payables against existing loans etc. It has been estimated that the lockdown has caused a financial loss of INR 1,600/- crore to these four STUs," he added.

Savadi said even after post-COVID lockdown, operations and revenues won't reach its previous demand& supply patterns in the next six to eight months due to reduced economic activity and users' perceived risk of contacting COVID in public transport.

In addition to that, "occupancy should be allowed up to seating capacity (without standees). This is essential to meet minimal demand," he said in the letter.

"The crew should wear facemask and hand gloves. The crew with health issues should not be deployed. The face masks should be made mandatory for all the passengers. Only asymptomatic persons should be allowed to travel in public transport. The Government of India may consider staggering working hours for various sectors to reduce peak hour traffic demand," the minister listed out these recommendations in the letter.

Savadi said that with social distancing norm of reduced seating capacity in public transport, it will not be possible to provide transport facility to all the daily passengers. This will create demand for more buses, which cannot be met.

"Restrictions on public transport will lead to passenger commute by overcrowding in smaller vehicles like cars, maxi cabs, goods tempos etc. which will adversely affect preventive measures," he added.

Therefore, Savadi requested Union Minister to look into the above matter and issue fresh guidelines to all the states / UT's.

Bengaluru, Jun 12: The Karnataka government is mulling to issue caste and income certificates to Brahmins though they are in a minority, accounting a mere three per cent of the southern state''s seven crore population, an official said on Thursday.

"Though Brahmins are in a ''minority'' in terms of their population across the state, they need caste and income certificates to benefit from the welfare schemes as in the case of the SC, ST and OBC groups," an official said here.

The Karnataka State Brahmin Development Board was set up in March 2019 as a state-run company with Rs five crore authorized capital and Rs five crore equity and is registered with the Registrar of Companies.

"The Board has petitioned the state government to implement the 10 per cent quota for the economically weaker sections, as its benefit is being given by the central government jobs and in admissions to the national educational institutions," said its chairman H.S. Sachidananda Murthy.

Responding to the demand, state Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa said the state government would consider issuing caste certificates to the Brahmins so that they too can benefit from the state''s various welfare schemes.

"Though Brahmins belong to the forward community, they are economically weaker and need financial support," said Yediyurappa on Wednesday after unveiling the Board''s official website for all its stakeholders here.

Brahmins whose gross annual family income is less than Rs eight lakh per annum will be eligible for the benefit schemes.

"The Board will soon be authorised to issue caste and income certificates to the members of the Brahmin community so that they can also benefit from the schemes," said the chief minister on the occasion.

Noting that every community has people who are forward and backward economically for various, including historical reasons, Yediyurappa said the Board would be empowered to serve the Brahmins.

"The Board also proposes to provide interest-free loans to the financially weaker sections of the people in the Brahmin community," added Murthy.

The community members urged the Chief Minister to provide 10 per cent of the state government jobs and seats in state-run educational institutions, including professional collages.

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 26: Sister Lucy Kalappura, one of the nuns who protested against rape accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal, on Saturday claimed that she is being targeted at the convent and not being provided food.

Sister Lucy was dismissed from Franciscan Clarist congregation for supporting sisters protesting against the Bishop.

"I am being targeted at the convent and not being provided food. When I asked the reason, I was told I have been dismissed from the convent and they are not responsible for feeding me," said Sister Lucy while speaking to the reporters.

She has alleged that all this began after the release of her autobiography "Karthavinte Namathil" which means 'In the name of God'. In her book she had alleged sexual misconduct among priests and nuns.

"They prepare food and after having it they lock it in the cupboard. When I asked the reason behind this, they told me that I have been dismissed," said Sister Lucy.

"Now I am managing it all by myself with egg and tapioca that grows in the convent compound. Earlier they used to keep the leftover lunch and I used to adjust with that, but after my book was released, they started to lock the food in the cupboard," she added.

Sister Lucy also claimed that she had filed three complaints with the police on August 19, August 20 and on December 13. They had taken her statement but no action was taken.

"If the police would have taken some action against the convent authorities, they would not have behaved this way. An FIR was registered based on the three complaints but no action was taken. This gives them more power to act against me. I have drafted a letter to the Chief Minister to raise my complaint," said Sister Lucy.

Bishop Mulakkal, a senior member of the Roman Catholic clergy in India, was arrested in 2018 following allegations by a nun that he repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted her at Kuravilangad convent between 2014 and 2016, a charge that he denies.
