UT Khader initiates dialogue to end Ullal Dargah power tussle

May 23, 2016

Manglauru, May 23: As the tussle between two factions for wresting administrative control of the Ullal Juma Masjid and Sayyid Madani Dargah continued, Health and Family Welfare Minister UT Khader has initiated dialogues between group leaders.

Mr Khader, who is also the local MLA, said that appointing an administrator for the historic Dargah is not a solution for the issues pertaining to management committee.

Recently, Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner A B Ibrahim had recommended the secretary, Minority Welfare, Hajj and Wakf Department to appoint an administrator or direct the 49 elected members for the administrative board of the Dargah to elect a president and office bearers to end the imbroglio.

The DC's concern is that with Holy month of Ramadan starting in the first week of June, the non-formation of the administrative committee would put the pilgrims to lot of hardships as required facilities will not be available. The DC also stated in a letter to the secretary that clashes may erupt between the two groups in this attempt to wrest power apart from hampering admission process to educational institutions and dispensing salaries to staff.

Mr Khader said that he will take initiatives to meet religious leaders and solve all issues pertaining to Ullal Dargah amicably.

“Appointing an administrator by the government is not a solution to the issues related to Ullal Dargah at this moment. Bringing administrator should be the last step and we need to work out other amicable solutions before that decision,” he said.

He also made it clear that it was not a clash between SKSSF and SSF and called the two Kerala based groups as two eyes of the regional Muslim community. “The differences between those two groups are not responsible for this problem,” he said.

He said that all efforts should be made to solve issues by taking all sections of the community into confidence. “We are working out a strategy and I am hopeful that we will succeed in solving issues related the Dargah administration," Mr Khader said.

Dear Brothers in Islam,

let us sit together and have good refreshment and decide right day to demolish this Darga without any trace than we can start worship only Allah and Following the sunnah of prophet this will unite us forever.

the best solution to solve the issue is, demolish the grave and worship none other than almighty allah. in'sha allah you may succeed hereafter...........may allah give us all the strength to understand islam.aameen

Trust ALLAH and follow Prophet Muhammad... if we look back to the time of Prophet Muhammad pbuh ... there was no such thing as accepting Barakah from the GRAVE...
What prophet Muhammad pbuh taught us was \ in the early stages of ISLAM prophet did not allow to visit Graves... But in the end times of his life , when the Sahabas understood the knowledge & the POWER OF ALLAH and his attributes... He allowed to visit Graves to remember our death and Pray for the dead (Not ask from the dead)

Those who depend on ALLAH are successful... When you do that ..YOU will experience the help of ALLAH in all the matters of your LIFE.
Its a greatest blessings one can have in this life...
When you experience that even a normal MUSLIM like me Never need anybody to get BARAKAH. ALLAH Guides those who really TRUST him.
ALLAH is enough for those who rely on HIM alone. It doesnt mean that we dont love the Auliya of ALLAH... its the misconception most Dargah visitors fallen to the WASWASA....
May ALLAH keep our faith in him to deal with the matters of our LIFE even if it is small one. ( ALLAH is MOST FORGIVING and MOST MERCIFUL)"

This is one of the Sign of Qiyaamath Day.
No one can stop or Change the Word of Allah And his Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).

Final Day is next to your Door, Be prepared for that Day.

It is not clash between SSF and SKSSF BUT it is clash between SSF against rest.
Easiest solution for current situation is calling all 49 member together and electing a president who has majority. Khader and his govt should tender its support to newly elected president with majority

NCBC slams Karnataka govt over categorisation of Muslims as backward caste

News Network

April 23,2024

The Karnataka government's decision to categorise the entire Muslim community as a backward caste for reservation purposes in the state has drawn criticism from the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC), which said such blanket categorisation undermines the principles of social justice.

According to the data submitted by the Karnataka Backward Classes Welfare Department, all castes and communities within the Muslim religion have been enlisted as socially and educationally backward classes under Category IIB in the State List of Backward Classes.

The NCBC, during a field visit last year, examined the state's reservation policy for OBCs in educational institutions and government jobs.

"All castes/communities of Muslim religion of Karnataka are being treated as socially and educationally backward classes of citizens and listed as Muslim Caste separately under Category IIB in the State List of Backward Classes for providing them reservation in admission into educational institutions and in appointments to posts and vacancies in the services of the State for the purpose of Articles 15(4) and 16(4) of the Constitution of India," the NCBC said in a statement on Monday night.

This categorisation has led to the provision of reservation benefits for 17 socially and educationally backward castes under Category I and 19 castes under Category II-A, respectively.

The NCBC said the blanket categorisation of Muslims as a backward caste undermines the principles of social justice, particularly for the marginalised Muslim castes and communities identified as socially and educationally backward.

However, the NCBC emphasised that while there are indeed underprivileged and historically marginalised sections within the Muslim community, treating the entire religion as backward overlooks the diversity and complexities within Muslim society.

"The religion-based reservation affects and works against ethics of social justice for categorically downtrodden Muslim castes/communities and identified socially and educationally backward Muslim castes/communities under Category-I (17 Muslim castes) and Category II-A (19 Muslim castes) of State List of Backward Classes. Hence, socially and educationally backward castes/communities cannot be treated at par with an entire religion," the NCBC stated.

The NCBC also voiced concern over the impact of such reservations on the overall framework of social justice, particularly in the context of local body polls.

While Karnataka provides 32 per cent reservation to backward classes in local body elections, including Muslims, the Commission stressed the need for a nuanced approach that accounts for the diversity within these communities.

According to the 2011 Census, Muslims constitute 12.92 per cent of the population in Karnataka.
