Quran burning: Muslim Samaj sets one week deadline to catch miscreants

December 4, 2016

Madikeri, Dec 4: Slamming the police department for failing to nab the miscreants involved in burning of Qur'an at Igoor mosque at Somwarpet taluk recently, Kodagu Zilla Muslim?Samaj has warned of severe protests.

Setting a deadline of one week for the police to nab the culprits, the Samaj has warned of putting up a show of strength by organising a mammoth convention of 25,000 people, followed byVidhana Soudha Chalo' in the coming days.

Addressing the protest meet, organised opposite Gandhi Mantapa here, working president of Samaj, P?M?Khasim said, “While a mosque was stoned in Kushalnagar two months ago, a car belonging to a community leader was also damaged in stoning, yet there is no action by the district police. Saying that the police authorities have refused to give consent, thus thwarting their plans to organise a massive protest meet, Khasim saidWe were not born in?Pakistan, and have equal rights in India'.

Without taking names of any organisations, Khasim who likened the situation to attempts to stone honeycomb, warned against testing the patience of peace-loving community. He also expressed his anguish over District Minister M?R?Seetharam and?MLC?Veena Achaiah for not visiting the mosque even after several days of the incident.

Some of the agitators said the community will stay away during next general elections, as some of the Congress party leaders are refusing to sympathise with muslims. If situation remains the same, day would not be far when all the leaders from community serving in the party as office-bearers will step down from the same. Another leader Majeed alleged that the community is being denied of the right to hold peaceful protest.?If any attempts are made to dilute the movements, we will give a fitting reply.

Majeed also accused deputy commissioner of not even showing courtesy to speak, when they went to seek his permission for the protest. General secretary of Samaj K?H?Abdul Majeed suspected the handiwork of those who killed Mahatma Gandhi and litterateur M?M?Kalburgi, behind Qur'an incident.

Former MLA?K?M?Ibrahim said the struggle is aimed at forcing the police to arrest the miscreants behind the incidents, but not against any particular community or caste. City Municipal Council member Ameen Mohsin, Congress labour cell president V?P?Shashidhar, A?B?Ummar, K?A??Yaqub, Nasir Makki, Kunhi Abdulla, Abdul Rehman, Mansoor Napoklu, Hamsa Kottamudi, Khalid Hakattur among others were present.

P.O.L.I.C.E are real trouble in INDIA

we need communal frre bribe free police INDIA to save from Communal Politics in INDIA

What is the police force Feared off... instead of protecting the society they are supporting it for fear of their life and income... What a shame, it is better to live like a lion. When U have power , work for the TRUTH and help the needy and oppressed..

ALLAH (the creator of all that exists) says in the QURAN Fear Him. not his evil creation...

Prophet Muhammad pbuh said : Know that if all the people get together in order to benefit YOU with something, they will not be able to benefit you in anything except what ALLAH has decreed to YOU. And if they all get together in order to HARM YOU with something, they will not be able to HARM you in anything except what ALLAH has decreed for YOU. ....

Dont support the oppressors by keeping quiet...The authorities should protect the community & the societies when they see evil.. Work for TRUTH and stop keeping quiet and encouraging the evil.

Instead of begging JUSTICE from the Indian govt depts, it is better to pray Allah to give punishment to the trouble makers... Just look, what happened in Israel 2 weeks back... The northern city of Haifa was under fire due to forest fires and got intensified due to strong winds, About one lakh israelis had to run away from their houses... Pray for such calamities for those who are doing such things with Holy Quran.... Surely Allah will respond ..The Sanghis are inviting the muslims for trouble , and this muslim samaj people are adding fuel to the problems with such threats... If the mosques are getting damaged, get the mosque buildings INSURED ...

Major facelift for Mangaluru's sporting heart: Mangala Stadium set for 2-month closure to upgrade synthetic track

News Network

December 15,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
