whatever going on in the Dargah is against the teaching of islam and definately Allah hates this. Its unfortunate that people of fighting for power and unnecesary things. They are giving importance to not required customs which are not advised in islam. Few people are running dargah as business to make money. Its unfortunate that common people are getting fooled.
It is responsibility of waqf board and local MLA to bring peace in Ullal before some one get killed.
Let all elected representative sit together elect one as president who has majority.
It is easy job but some unseen hands playing behind the scene.
I request UTK to show the leadership before some one get killed.Just he need to do is tell both fraction that those who get majority will be president.
health minister's city became unhealthy goon's city
whats going on, fighting with own people this must be stopped immediately, it makes our rival to go out strong.
There is no difference between dargah and temple. Both make pooja by offering flower etc. Both make jathre(Uroos). Both make nerche (Harake). In islam no where taught like this. This fight is only for money.
koora and SSF's Dirty Game
fighting for dargha's authority, it defines u,
