Mangaluru, Sep 9: Calling upon the people to be united for a better Mangaluru, the leaders from different communities and faiths on Friday resolved to isolate communal forces and anti-social elements that take law into hands in the name of religion and disrupt peace.

Religious thinkers from Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Sikhism and representatives from over a dozen organizations from Dakshina Kannada were part of the United for a better Mangaluru' conclave held at town hall here.

Applauding the efforts of the organizers to bring people together for a noble cause, Mangaluru city police chief M Chandra Sekhar in his valedictory address said that peace loving people from all the communities should speak aloud against injustice and wrong doing they see.

“Unfortunately decent people here are not speaking. If wrongdoers are told on the face about their wrongdoing then he/she will not repeat the same any further,” he said. Mr. Sekhar asked people to report the sale of cannabis and speak against those violating traffic rules.

Earlier, religious leaders and activists unanimously suggested a simple solution to end mistrust among people and to create solidarity: “We should mutually appreciate good deeds. And if there are bad deeds then the wrong doers should be openly called out by their community members, who should not remain silent.”

Sri Eesha Vitaldas Swamy, the chief pontiff of Kemar Sandeepani Ashram, said that those who are involved in communal clashes are actually ignorant of their own religions. "Let us be Mangalureans first before identifying ourselves as Hindus, Muslims, Christians or Sikhs. Our city has been facing several threats either in the name of unscientific projects like Yettinahole or in any other manner. In such scenario, we all should stand united for a better Mangaluru," he added.

Moulana Abdul Azeez Darimi, khateeb of Chokkabettu Mohiuddin Juma Masjid, said only a section of the society is behind all anti-social activities. "People of Mangaluru have shown their tenderness of heart whenever tragedies struck the city. People of all faiths joined hands during the rescue operations when Air India Express flight crashed in Mangaluru. Muslim women were saved from drowning by Hindu youths at Ullal beach. Several such instances shows that Mangaluru can be a better place to live," he added.

Mohammed Kunhi, an Islamic preacher and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind leader, said it was important for community member to correct the mistakes of their community members. When there are good deeds by a Muslim then it should be appreciated by Hindus and vice versa. This would go a long way in building solidarity among communities, he said.

St Joseph Institutions director Rev Fr Onil D'Souza said the idea of oneness is possible only if people of all religions accept it in their life. "Preaching should not be limited only to speeches, but it should be put into practice for harmony in the society. Similarly, no religious practices should create trouble for others," he added.

Gyani Parveen Singh, priest of Mangaluru Sikh Gurudwara, called upon parents to teach children the values of universal brotherhood. "God is in your heart. All fights in the society will come to an end if we find god in every creation in this world," he suggested. Nirmal Kumar, a Jain scholar, said that children should be taught the way to see the world without hatred.

Bunt stalwart Malady Ajith Kumar Rai, fishermen leader Vasudev Bolar, Christian leader Walter Maben, communal harmony activist Suresh Bhat Bakrabail and organizer Saif Sultan also spoke on the occasion.

The organisations that were part of the event are: Ahinda, Buntara Yane Nadavara Mathr Sangha, Catholic Diocese of Mangalore, Dalit Sangharsha Samiti, Hidayah Foundation, Highland Islamic Forum, Hope Foundation, Jain Samiti, Karnataka Christian Educational Society, Karnataka Komu Souharda Vedike, Karnataka Missions Network, KKMA-Karnataka, M Friends, Mogaveera Mahajana Sangha, Muslim Lekhakara Sangha, Sri Guru Singh Sabha Society, Talent Research Foundation and Yuva Vahini.

Brother Naren,
Highlighting negative part of particular community will not make any person great.May be Ahmadi or whatever other sects you mentioned might be existing in some particular locations but to us ,it doesn't belong to our circle Alhumdulillah!! WE ARE JUST MUSLIMS.
We have here Irani masjids,but if its late for namaz ,i go there.I have seen them having small stones there.But that doesnt make me any less muslim.I said salam to their ladies.Its people like you always put ghee by giving reminders to those muslims who are in doubt of their Islamic identity,so that they always be divided within community.
By the way Bro,I ve seen lot of non muslims like you,who hated Islam to the core,but hating round and round ,they ACCEPTED ISLAM ALSO.On this auspicious day of ARAFAH, I pray to Almighty Allah samething happens with you too.May he guide you to the straight path.The day you become MUSLIM,PLEASE DO COME TO UAE ANNA WILL SERVE YOU BEEF BIRYANI ALONG WITH YEJAMAANA.
LASTLY LETS STRIVE TO UNITE, THAN STRIVING TO DIVIDE.

Brother Viren,
The idea of united for a better mangaluru was done by liberal minds.You might see lot of muslim groups.These are all charity based groups. And charity is compulsory in Islam so there are many philanthropists coming forward to join in and support such groups.
United doesn't mean that Hindus have to perform 5times namaz nor it means muslims have to join in Ganesh chaturti.Being tolerant towards others culture is more united. Now you can see jains,they are vegans,its absolutely fine with us.If they dont eat ,what we eat. Christians are absolutely fine if we dont eat pigs. RESPECT THE SENTIMENTS OF OTHER COMMUNITY.
How long you 'll deny the fact that India is not for all, its for only majority. Every nation has majority and minority, even in monarchy ruled nation like KSA has minority. To Live in co-existence was the main priority of this event. I know many RSS affiliated groups are not happy with unity of all religion,because it 'll axe their business. But let me remind you something ,the bad work you do with bad intention will one day will return back to you itself. BUT AT THE SAME TIME GOOD WORK YOU DO WILL GIVE YOU SO RELIEF TO YOUR SOUL. WE HUMANS ARE CREATED BY GOD IN SUCH A MANNER, THAT BAD THINGS WILL HAVE BAD IMPACT ON US AND AFFECT US MENTALLY, SO YOU CAN SEE SUICIDES, REVENGE MURDER ETC.
Lets do good work so that we remain mentally and physically both happy..

JaI HIND

Nattu delight after long time...Punjabi babe message nod de sumar dina agithu ...mangalore ge enu agilla ..ray of hope annodakke ...we nationalist Indians are highly vigilant on third rated community which indulges in anti India activities ...that's it ...here concept is simple using wahabist funds organise programs to project as peace lovers in the back ground its reverse ...

first ur community must fix why drug peddling stealing and smuggling is highest in your community ...teach them.ethics ..so instead ivella beda ..its no use ...

one guy whose name mentioned in comment 1 ..that person went to muzzaffarnagar to do charity service ...he concentrated entirely on his community area ..is he secular ?...when many who were brutally attacked by Muslims were staying next yo the camp...this guy if he is true lover of humanity ...must have served all ...but all gimmick ..kumda initiative ....say that your community will be with him ...not Mangalore

If the peace lovers are united and anti-social elements are isolated then for sure Mangaluru will be a heaven in India.

Happy to see positive things happening in Mangaluru. Police commissioner's role also praiseworthy. I thank all the organisers from the bottom of my heart for bringing the dream of all peaceful mangloreans into reality.

Most of the organisers are Muslim groups, which have direct or indirect links with Zakir Naik, who has links with terror organisations. They unitedly fooled Bants organisation and a couple of leaders from Indian nationalist religions.

I want to ask a simple question to those Muslim orgastions: Will the offer prayer to Ganesh and other gods? If no, then you are all hypocrites.

Good programme. The organisers have ignored political leaders and ministers. That's really a great thing.

Mangaluru, Jan 15: The coastal city of Mangaluru witnessed a historic event as a sea of humanity converged at the Shah Gardan Maidan in Adyar-Kannur to register their protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) besides the “categorical mistreatment” of Muslim community at the hands of the police across the country including in Mangaluru.

The protest is jointly being organised by the various Muslim organisations of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district under the leadership of Muslim Central Committee. 

The main staged is named after Shaheed Jaleel Kudroli and Shaheed Nausheen, who were ruthlessly gunned down by the police during a chaos that erupted on December 19 in the city due to police batten charge against people during a minor protest against NRC. 

Even thought the police had banned public transport and blocked the highway to reduce the number of protesters, around one-and-a-half lakh people had reached the venue when the historic meeting commenced at 2:30 p.m. By 4 p.m. the number of protesters crossed 2 lakh, according to the organisers.

Both sides of the highway were filled with those who came to witness the rally and traffic went haywire along a five-kilometre stretch of the road. The people who took part in the rally were seen waving national flags.

The protest rally was inaugurated by Udupi Khazi Bekal Ibrahim Musliyar. Dua was offered by Dakshina Kannada Khazi Twaka Ahmed Musliyar. 

Addressing the protesters, former IAS officer and activist Kannan Gopinathan alleged that the Centre wants to create fear among all sections of people and silence them. Society began to protest when the government crossed the limits and put curbs on democratic freedom, he claimed.

The Centre thought that they can get away with CAA and NRC. However, people have realised the truth and have started coming out onto the streets, Gopinathan added.

Activist Harsh Mander said the theme of the protest against the CAA and NRC is "national flag in one hand, Constitution is another and people will march forward with love in their hearts”.

“The fight against NRC is the fight for the protection of our Constitution. The BJP is using NRC as a weapon to divide the people after Article 370 and Ram Mandir construction," he said and warned the Centre: “The more you try to divide us, the stronger and united we’ll be”

Human rights activist Shivasundar said the "chowkidar" appointed by the people is now asking them whether they are the real owners of their houses.

The BJP only delivered hollow promises which is evident from the rising unemployment, fall in GDP, farmers suicides and the economic slowdown, he alleged.

MLA UT Khader, MLC BM Farooq, former MLA Mohiyuddin Bava, Muslim central committee president KS Mohammed Masood, Ullal Qazi Fazal Koyamma Tangal, Dakshina Kannada district Wakf committee president UK Monu Kanachur, Sunni Youth Federation state general secretary Abdul Rashid Zaini and Karnataka Samastha Mushavara state secretary UK Abdul Aziz Darimi were present among others.

useless protest , Modi is not manmohan singh , amit shah is not chidambaram .. they are trained RSS men and once RSS men decide they wont go back .jihadists must understand that they cannot win globe with their mentality , thats why you guys flood christain countries in the name of prosecution and believe only population explosion can achieve your dream of darool uloom .ummah is a total flop and islamic countries are just even unable to face israel , forget about others . as per my observation , hindus were secular before , but nowadays in large no they are quitting this kind of secularism .even 10% of hindus become radicalised then it will be big probelm for anti india forces .muslim organisations are totally misleading muslim community in the name of CAA
