Mangaluru, Dec 10: Assuring that Islamic Shariah will not face any threat in India until it upholds Dr B R Ambedkar’s constitution, Congress leader and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister U T Khader said that no Prime Minister can interfere in internal affairs of the Muslim community.
Mr Khader, who is also the minister for urban development and housing, was addressing a massive crowd gathered at the Shariah Protection Conference organized by the Shariah Protection Committee of Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama at Nehru Maidan in the city.
“I don’t want to name anyone. But, let me assure you one thing: Not just this PM, even hundred such PMs cannot change Shariah until we protect our constitution. Hence, Shariah is not facing any threat in this country. If such a situation arises, I am ready to sacrifice my life, not just power,” he said.
Inaugurating the event, Sayyid Jifri Mutthukoya Thangal, president of Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama, said that Shairah will remain intact till the end of the universe as the creator of the universe and shariah is one and the same.
He said that the Constitution has entitled equal rights to the people of each religion. Hence, Muslims too have all the rights to lead life as per Shariah rulings.
Stating that Islam has never encouraged talaq or divorce, he said some people have been creating confusion in the society in the name of talaq. “It is the responsibility of administration to protect minorities in any country. The governments have to understand this basic thing. At this critical time, Samastha is ready to take any challenges to protect the interests of Muslim community,” he said.
‘Nanna mattu Vidyabhyasada Kathe’, an autobiography of former Dakshina Kannada Khazi Shaheed C M Abdulla Musliyar, was released by Yenepoya University vice chancellor Y Abdulla Kunhi. The first copy of the book was received by CM Shafi, son of CM Abdulla Musliyar.
Prior to this, a rally was conducted from Ambedkar Circle to Nehru Maidan. Dakshina Kannada Khazi Twaka Ahmed Musliyar flagged off the rally.
