PFI demands reconstruction of Babri Masjid

December 6, 2011

Mangalore, December 6: Popular Front of India organised public programmes in the national capital and various parts of the country on the 19th anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition demanding its reconstruction of the mosque on the same site.

In New Delhi, the dharna held at Jantar Mantar was attended by hundreds of people. PFI chairman E M Abdul Rahiman inaugurated the programme. Adv Bahar U Barqi of Supreme Court, Dr Anwarul Islam of Majlis-e-Mushawarah, SDPI Delhi State Convener Abdul Rasheed Agwan and the programme convener Moulana Kaleemullah Siddiqui, and other leaders belonging to different organisations address the gathering.

In a memorandum addressed to the President and Prime Minister of India, PFI, has pointed out that the immediate assurance given by the then prime minister P V Narasimha Rao to rebuild the mosque failed to materialize till now.

Only rebuilding the masjid on the same site would serve justice and restore the faith of millions of upright citizens of India, Muslims and non-Muslims, it said.

The memorandum also pointed out that all legal procedures related to the issue are still pending settlement. The case filed in 1961 related to ownership of the masjid and its premises is now before the Supreme Court of India after the controversial Allahabad High Court verdict to partition the land into three parts. The criminal case filed in 1992 against those who have demolished the Masjid is indefinitely delayed. The Central Government has not initiated any action on the recommendations of Justice Liberhan's Commission which enquired the events that led to the destruction of the masjid.

In a press release the organization has urged the government of India to expedite the proceedings of Supreme Court of India for a final verdict in the appeal cases of title suit pending against the controversial High Court verdict; to announce actions taken against those whom Justice Liberhan's Commission has found guilty in destructing Babri Masjid, and to initiate steps for a legislation by the Indian Parliament for rebuilding Babri Masjid on the same site where it stood earlier, since the ultimate solution to the problem lies in fulfilling the nation's commitment to justice.

Puttur's Healthcare Dream Cleared: State Finance Gives Nod for 300-Bed Hospital

News Network

December 2,2025

Puttur: The long-cherished dream of a government medical college in Puttur has moved a decisive step closer to reality, with the Karnataka State Finance Department granting its official approval for the construction of a new 300-bed hospital.

Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai announced the crucial development to reporters on Monday, confirming that the official communication from the finance department was issued on November 27. This 300-bed facility is intended to be the cornerstone for the establishment of the government medical college, a project announced in the state budget.

Fast-Track Implementation

The MLA outlined an aggressive timeline for the project:

• A Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the hospital is expected to be ready within 45 days.

• The tender process for the construction will be completed within two months.

Following the completion of the tender process, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the project.

"Setting up a medical college in Puttur is a historical decision by the Congress government in Karnataka," Rai stated. The project has an estimated budget allocation of Rs 1,000 crore for the medical college.

Focus on Medical Education Department

The MLA highlighted a key strategic move: requesting the government to implement the hospital construction through the Medical Education Department instead of the Health and Family Welfare Department. This is intended to streamline the entire process of establishing the full medical college, ensuring the facilities—including labs, operation theatres, and other necessary infrastructure—adhere to the strict guidelines set by the Medical Council of India (MCI). The proposed site for the project is in Bannur.

Rai also took the opportunity to address political criticism, stating that the government has fulfilled its promise despite "apprehensions" and "mocking and criticising" from opposition parties who had failed to take similar initiatives when they were in power. "Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has kept his word," he added.

December 5,2025

Mangaluru: In a significant step to curb online hate and intimidation, Mangaluru City Police have registered a suo motu case against multiple Instagram accounts accused of circulating alleged provocative and threatening content.

While monitoring social media activity on Tuesday, Kankanady Town PSI Anitha Nikkam identified the Instagram handle ‘team_targetttt_900’ for posting a hate message alongside images of lethal weapons. Another account, ‘team_nagara_900’, allegedly shared a threatening post targeting activist Bharath Kumdelu, tagging additional pages such as KARAVALI-OFFICIAL.

Several other accounts — including ‘immu_bhai.fan’, ‘target_boy_900’, ‘kings_of_manglore’, ‘team_target_boys.900’, ‘arshad_mangalore’, ‘target_ka19_ullal’, ‘team_target__’, ‘troll_tigersz_900’, ‘tr_group_900’, and ‘team_target_900’ — are also under scrutiny for spreading similar inflammatory material, police said.

Authorities have urged citizens, especially young social media users, to report suspicious pages and avoid engaging with groups that glorify violence or threaten individuals. Online hate can quickly escalate into real-world harm, and police stress that sharing or promoting such content can attract legal consequences.
