Addressing a press meet in Sirsi on Sunday Mr Hegde had stated that the religion of Islam should be wiped out and claimed that terrorism could not be uprooted as long as Islam existed in this world.

Mr Khader pointed out that even though Mr Hegde made the communally provocative remarks only with the intention of getting publicity, such statement could trigger unrest in the society. Police must file suo moto case against Mr Hegde and arrest him,' he said.

Complaint

Meanwhile, Luqman Bantwal, a Congress leader, on behalf of Dakshina Kannada unit of Youth Congress has filed a complaint with Bantwal Town Police Station against Mr Hegde for his attempt to disrupt peace in the society through provocative remarks.

Stating that the sentiments of Muslims have been badly hurt by the BJP leader's remark, Mr Luqman urged the police to book Mr Hegde under sections 153 A, 295 A and 502 (2) of Indian Penal Code.

Condemned

Meanwhile, several Muslim organisations and leaders have vociferously condemned the shocking statement of Mr Hegde and urged the police to nab him for insulting Indian constitution.

Jama'ath-e-Islami Hind, Sunni Students' Federation, Popular Front of India among other Muslim organisations in separate media releases have termed the statement of Mr Hegde as a war against Indian constitution.

They urged that police should act impartially and take necessary action against those who provoke people and attempt to disrupt social and communal harmony.

Welcome back Mohammed Mangalore.

Every person have their own choice of selecting the method of protest. I have selected writing on forums as I cannot do what you wanted, as I am aged enough. You being a hench man of Masood, may remember recently Poojary indirectly taunted Masood, for being MLC at his helm, failures for congress party recent Zilla and Taluk Panchayats. I bet you Masood cannot get 100 votes if he contest for next MLA election. And even MLC.

Finally I don't need teachings from you as you are immaterial to me.

Ibrahim Hussain Udupi, It is just for you to request muslims to keep quiet as you being in Udupi are scared of the repurcation you will go through if you stand up against these people. Come on gather some guts and come out openly to condemn this speech. It is easy for you give lectures. Be a strong muslim or are you the one who knows only to back stab and talk nonsense about your own community people.

This is Kaat Bunta.
He is not representing all Hindus, nor this is the message of any Hindu.
The more they provocate, the more ISLAM grows.
The big protest and reaction started in US afer 9/11, what happened.
Happened is more Americans specially women embraced ISLAM.
The same will happen in India. Just Watch, you can not fool educated people.

BJP/RSS have some active pracharaks throughout India give hate speeches against Islam and Muslims. Even Narendra Modi himself RSS pracharak, made some comments on muslim regarding reservations during the Bihar Election rally. Yesterday in Agra, Mr. Kataria, BJP MP made similar provocations SPEECH in UP. This is a normal practice of RSS/BJP camp. When it comes protests, both slip away from their utterances and say that is their personal views and nothing to do with party and RSS.
Ananth Kumar is non performing MP of UKannada district, there is an unhappiness from the voters even BJP sympathizers and his utterances against Islam and Muslims nothing but a show. However, Muslims should not provoked from his statements and maintain peace and harmony. We will have to see the action from the State Government, specifically home minister Dr. Parameshwar and CM Sidda Ramayya.

It is time for Congress Government to take action. If you want to keep your vote bank alive, then the Government must take action against this Naalayak, Hatred Communal MP.

Mangaluru, Dec 2: Mangaluru International Airport responded to a medical emergency late on Monday night. Air India Express flight IX 522, travelling from Riyadh to Thiruvananthapuram, was diverted to Mangaluru Airport after a passenger in his late 30s experienced a medical emergency on board.

The Airport’s Operations Control Centre received an alert regarding the passenger’s health condition. The airport activated its emergency response protocol, mobilising the airport medical team and coordinating with stakeholders including CISF, immigration, and customs. 

Upon landing, airport medical personnel attended to the passenger, assessed his condition, and arranged to shift him to a local tertiary-care hospital for further treatment. The passenger’s relatives accompanied the passenger, who incidentally received necessary medical care on board, which helped stabilise the situation.

Following the handling of the emergency, the flight departed for Thiruvananthapuram at 2:05 am on Tuesday.

"We appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved, and this incident reaffirms our ongoing commitment to prioritising passenger safety and readiness to respond to unforeseen emergencies with professionalism and care," the Airport spokesperson said.

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
