Muslim women stage protest to oppose changes in personal law

October 23, 2016

Hubballi, Oct 23: A protest rally comprising Muslim women was taken out here on Saturday in protest against the alleged attempt to interfere in the Muslim personal law.

It was held under the aegis of the Anjuman-e-Islam. The participants urged the Union government not to meddle with the Muslim personal law.

The march began from Nehru College Grounds at Ghantikeri and passed through the thoroughfares of the city including Lamington Road and Kittur Chennamma Circle before culminating at the mini-Vidhana Soudha.

The protesters held the tricolour and placards with slogans such asJai Hind,'Hindustan Zindabad',We are proud to be Indians', along with placards condemning the efforts to interfere in the Muslim personal law, saying that they were happy with the Islamic Shariat.

The women said that they were against any effort to bring in a Uniform Civil Code.

Anjuman-e-Islam president Jabbarkhan Honnalli and office-bearers of the women's wing of the organisation led the protest march. They office-bearers submitted a memorandum to the Hubballi tahsildar.

In the wake of the protest, the vehicular movement in the central business district and around Kittur Chennamma Circle was thrown out of gear for over an hour. The traffic police personnel had a difficult time streamlining the traffic as vehicles were diverted through alternative routes.

I could not understand why Modi Govt is planning to abolish Muslim Personal Law which is not acceptable to name sake muslims who count less than 0.01 percent of muslim population in India. These are traitors of Islam and they are free to leave the religion if they do not agree with it. No one is forcing them to practice the religion and abide by its laws. I think they are acting as agents of enemies of Islam and being bribed by the enemieis. I appreciate the women of Hubballi for taking our processing condemning Govt proposal to abolich Muslim Personal Law and wish same marches in every city, town and village all over india. Govt should know that we Muslims are fully happy with Muslim Shariat and cannot accept any change or abolishing it. Govt should not interfere in it. In any name sake muslim is not willing to follow the Shariat none is going to force him or her and let them go to hell. None will care them. They are a wastage to our society. If Govt wishes these wastes to hug, let it do it.

In the main stream media they portray the bad effect of instant Triple Talaq (ITT) whereas the Govt. actually wants to end the whole Talaq system and get the Muslims on to their judiciary system which we are all fed up to deal with. According to me if we have done the Nikah using Muslim Personal Law then the Talaq has to be done by same Muslim Personal law.

First let Modi protect his own POOR Wife. Later let him think of others. Its like Mane yalli Maari Urige upakaari.

QR-code tips power Mangaluru's major drug bust: 25 arrested in 2 weeks

News Network

December 16,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 16: The Mangaluru City police have significantly escalated their campaign against drug trafficking, arresting 25 individuals and booking 12 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act between November 30 and December 13. The crackdown resulted in the seizure of a substantial quantity of illicit substances, including 685.6 grams of MDMA and 1.5 kg of ganja.

The success of this recent drive has been significantly boosted by the city’s innovative, QR code-based anonymous reporting system.

"The anonymous reporting system has received an encouraging response. Several recent arrests were made based on inputs received through this system, helping police tighten the noose around drug peddlers," said the City Police Commissioner.

The latest arrests contribute to a robust year-to-date record, underscoring the police's relentless commitment to combating the drug menace.

Up to December 14 this year, the police have registered a total of 107 cases of drug peddling, leading to the arrest of 219 peddlers. Furthermore, they have booked 562 cases of drug consumption, resulting in the arrest of 671 individuals.

The scale of the seizure for the year reflects the magnitude of the problem being tackled: police have seized 320.6 kg of ganja worth ₹88.7 lakh and 1.4 kg of MDMA valued at ₹1.2 crore. Other significant seizures include hydro-weed ganja worth ₹94.7 lakh and cocaine worth ₹1.9 lakh, among others.

The Commissioner emphasized a policy of rigorous enforcement: "We ensure that peddlers are caught red-handed so that they cannot later dispute the case or claim innocence."

To counter the rising trend of substance abuse among youth, the Mangaluru City police have rolled out uniform guidelines for random drug testing across educational institutions.

As part of the drive, tests were conducted in approximately 100 institutions, screening an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 students in the first phase. 20 students tested positive for drug consumption during the initial screening.

Students who tested positive have been provided counselling and are scheduled for re-testing in the second quarter. The testing will also be expanded to students not covered in the first phase. In a move to ensure strict implementation, police personnel were deployed in mufti in some institutions. Reiterating a zero-tolerance stance, the Commissioner confirmed that random testing will continue, and colleges have also been instructed to conduct drug tests at the time of admission to deter substance abuse from an early stage.
