Mangalore, November, 2: Girls Islamic Organization of Karnataka, Dakshina Kannada district unit organised a seminar on “the role of young women in building a better society” on Tuesday at Don Bosco Hall in City.

Although women have made a foray into every field, they face discrimination everywhere. It is the responsibility of the society to encouraging women to help women lead an independent life, said Usha M, teacher of B. M. High School, Ullal.

Women have a huge role in improving the society considering she plays multiple roles both inside and outside the family, she said.

Violence against women is still rampant in the society. Even as the level of education has improved, there is degradation in the moral values. It is the responsibility of every mother to teach her children moral values, she stated.

Farah Banu, lecturer at Vidyodaya College, Venur, called upon women to make use of all available opportunities to be successful in life. “Awareness and rational education will help in bringing down violence against women. The young women should inculcate values of obedience rather than aping the West, she said

Presiding over the event GIO State Secretary, Ruksana Umar, said women should be taught human values along with secular education.

Kamarunnisa GIO district convenor was present. Jabina recited the verses from Holy Quran. Umer Banu delivered introductory speech while Ashur Biwi N compered the programme.

Will end Karnataka leadership confusion after talks with top leaders: Kharge

November 27,2025

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday announced that he will convene a high-level meeting in New Delhi with senior leaders — including Rahul Gandhi, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar — to resolve the escalating leadership turmoil in Karnataka and “put an end to the confusion.”

Kharge said the discussions would focus on the way forward for the ruling party, as rumours of a possible leadership change continue to swirl. The speculation has intensified after the Congress government crossed the halfway mark of its five-year term on November 20, reviving talk of an alleged 2023 “power-sharing agreement” between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar.

“After reaching Delhi, I will call three or four important leaders and hold discussions. Once we talk, we will decide how to move ahead and end this confusion,” Kharge told reporters in Bengaluru, according to PTI.

When asked specifically about calling Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar to Delhi, he responded: “Certainly, we should call them. We will discuss with them and settle the issue.”

He confirmed that Rahul Gandhi, the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister and other senior members would be part of the deliberations. “After discussing with everyone, a decision will be made,” he said.

Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah held a separate strategy meeting at his Bengaluru residence with ministers and leaders seen as his close confidants, including G. Parameshwara, Satish Jarkiholi, H.C. Mahadevappa, K. Venkatesh and K.N. Rajanna.
Signalling calm, the Chief Minister told reporters, “Will go to Delhi if the high command calls.”

Shivakumar echoed a similar stance, saying he too would head to the national capital if summoned by the party leadership.
