Fighting evil an integral part of faith'

February 16, 2011

Udupi, February 16: “It's our duty to spread virtues or goodness and try to eradicate the evils in the society. Evils such as alcohol, drugs, immorality, and exploitation of women have damaged the health of the society. Fighting against such evils is an integral part of our faith” said Moulvi Abdussalam Uppingadi, Regional Organizer, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind who was here to deliver a talk on the valedictory ceremony of 'Khaire Ummath” campaign here in Jamia Masjid, Udupi.

“Evils should be countered with goodness. By doing this, your enemy will turn into your closest friend”, he said.

Moulana Hamid Umri, General Secretary of Muslim Muttahida Maaz, Shimoga district, said that women's protection in India is a major problem. Citing Renuka Chowdhary that “in our country, all the efforts to safeguard women have failed”, he said that the problem needs immediate attention.

Akber Ali in his inaugural address, expressed concern that people, who know that mishandling of cooking gas could cause an explosion, are not realizing that the TVs can also blow up their houses, with the kind of evils it spreads.

Moulana Aziz Umari recited verses from the glorious Quran. Mohammed Markada compered the program. District Secretary Anwar Ali proposed the vote of thanks.

Nati koli saaru, fry, idli, vada and pongal on Siddaramaiah’s breakfast menu at DKS’ residence

Bengaluru: 'Nati koli saaru' (country chicken curry) considered one of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s favourites along with steaming hot idlis was on the breakfast menu at Deputy CM D K Shivakumar’s residence on Tuesday, according to official sources.

The spread also included 'nati koli' fry, vada and pongal, among other items, they said.

In an apparent show of unity, Siddaramaiah visited Shivakumar’s residence for breakfast, just days after the two leaders shared a meal amid a simmering power tussle in the state Congress.

Siddaramaiah drove to the Deputy CM’s residence in Sadashivanagar, where he was received by Shivakumar and his brother D K Suresh, who is a former Congress MP.

Suresh and Kunigal MLA H D Ranganath, a relative of Shivakumar, joined them for breakfast, which featured a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Speaking to reporters later, Siddaramaiah said Shivakumar had invited him during his visit to the CM’s residence for breakfast on Saturday.

Asked about the difference between the two meals, the chief minister said, "At his (Shivakumar’s) house it was non-veg, while at my house it was veg. He is a vegetarian, I am a non-vegetarian. I had not prepared non-veg. I told DK to get chicken from the village as you won’t get the original in Bengaluru."

Shivakumar said he had initially invited Siddaramaiah to his residence, but the CM had suggested visiting his place first and reciprocating later. "It was a vegetarian breakfast at the CM’s house on Saturday," he noted.

"Today, I invited him (the CM) to my house. He enjoyed the breakfast, which had his Mysuru taste," Shivakumar added. At this point, Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar’s wife is also from Mysuru.

Saturday’s breakfast at Siddaramaiah’s official residence, held as part of efforts by the Congress high command to ease tensions in the leadership dispute between the two, reportedly included idlis and sambar, according to official sources.
