Mangalore, December 24: A protest demanding suspension of Usman Haji, President, DK District Wakf Advisory Committee, was held by members of the Karnataka Madrasa Hifazath Committee, Mangalore, in front of the Deputy Commissioner's office in the city on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, Ghulam Mohammed, President, Karnataka Madrasa Hifazath Committee, and Working President, JD(S), Udupi unit, alleged Usman Haji of playing politics in the name of religion and demanded his ouster from the Wakf Advisory Committee as its President as he had failed to comply with the order of the state government with regard to implementation of Madrasa syllabus.
“Injustice has been done to Madrasas being run by AP Aboobakar Ustad led-group. Usman Haji is biased. He might have political backing but we have the backing of Ullal Thangal and AP Usthad”, he said.
The protestors claimed that members of Samasta Kerala Sunni Students Federation affiliated to the group of Late E K Aboobakar Ustad had 'hijacked' some Madrasas trying to implement EK syllabus for children. However, the AP Group managed to win cases in Munsif Court, Civil Courts, Assistant Commissioner's Court, Mysore Divisional Wakf Tribunal Court, Government Minorities Court and even the Karnataka High Court in terms of continuation of syllabus. The Government of Karnataka also issued a circular stating that AP syllabus be continued with Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, Deputy Chief Ministers R Ashok and Eshwarappa, State Wakf Minister S K Bellubbi all directing the officials concerned to implement the government order. But Usman Haji has been acting in favour of the EK Group and by not implementing the government circular, has violated the government order and hence, deserves to be ousted from his post, the protestors demanded.
Syed Meeran Saab, Vice President, Madrasa Hifazath Committee, Aboobakkar Siddiq Montugoli, Abdul Rashid Zaini Kaamil Saqaafi, JDS members Hyder Parthipady and Munir Mukkacheri were present besides others.
