Mangaluru, Aug 5: Even as the students of St Thomas Aided Higher Primary School at Bondanthila in Mangaluru taluk, rubbished the allegations of compulsory' Arabic class, the Sri Ram Sena has continued to accuse the school management of forcibly' teaching Arabic. The saffron outfit has also demanded the school headmaster to withdraw complaint against the Hindutva activists.

Addressing media persons here on Friday Mahesh Kumar Koppa, Karnataka state unit president of the Sena, warned to hold massive protests in front of all Catholic churches in Dakshina Kannada if the case was not withdrawn.

Describing the act of miscreants, who barged into the school, as their “democratic right”, Mr Koppa said that it was just a visit following the request of some of the parents and not an act of rowdyism. According to eye witnesses, the miscreants had threatened the teacher and even snatched books from the students when the Arabic class was going on.

“Our activists had visited the school peacefully and submitted a representation to headmaster Melwyn Braggs urging him to stop Arabic classes. He had also agreed to fulfil our demand”, Mr Koppa said and added that later Mr Braggs lodged a false complaint against the activists.

At the behest of school management, the police have filed charges of trespassing and preventing a government official from discharging their duties against the members. The false case should be withdrawn, he demanded.

Claiming that there was a political motive behind filing such cases against Hinduvta activists, he held Catholic churches responsible for this. “We will hold protest against this and also will wage a legal battle,” he said.

ISIS terrorists!

Mr Koppa suspected the hand of “conversion racket” behind Arabic teaching in the school managed by Christians. He went on to claim that such classes will motivate people to become ISIS terrorists. Instead of Arabic, the school can teach Tulu script, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana and Mahabharata and other Hindu scriptures, he suggested.

Mr Koppa also said that the State government and the district administration should immediately intervene in the cases of schools teaching Arabic without obtaining permission.

“How can they teach Arabic in a government aided school?” he argued and urged the government not to spend tax-payers money for this school and its teachers. He also exhorted the education department to conduct a probe into the incidents of teaching Arabic.

Arabic is the universal language,in middle east and in African countries this is the language of all faith of people. By learning Arabic one can gain more knowledge and understanding. Thousands of our co-citizens are employed in gulf countries are very much sure that the knowing of Arabic language is the plus point for their earnings there. Which make our countries economy stable.
Narrow mind thinking is not at all good for any civilized society.

This Koppa needs to be admitted to a mental hospital. He is not normal. Christians convert; Muslims are terrorists and Dalits are beef eaters and beef is more important than humans. By repeating lies, lies do not become truths. Send the entire gang of BJP, RSS, VHP, BD and Rama Sene to Andamans. They need to be exiled for peace in Mangalore

Why you people are not fighting to make Sanskrit a compulsory language?. I feel it should be done so that everyone should learn the Holy Vedas. do you know that Gayathri Manthra in the arabic version is the first chapter of the Quran
Gayathri Manthra : OM BhurBhuva Swaha
Tatsavitur Varenyam
Bhargo devasya
Dheemahi Dhiyo Yonaha
Prachodayat
Meaning: we meditate on the Glory of the Creator who has created the universe who is worthy of worship who is embodiment of knowledge and light who is the remover of sin and ignorance May He open our hearts and May He guide us

Al Fathiha First chapter :
In the name of the Lord most merciful most beneficent
Praise be to the Lord of the universe Most merciful most Beneficent
Master of the day of judgement
To you alone we worship and to you alone we ask for help
Guide us to the straight path
The path of those whom you have blessed and not the path of those on whom your anger has fallen and not those who have gone astray

I agree with Bhaira. What's the necessity of fighting with Christians, who are also victims of Islamic terrorism. Hindus and Christians should unitedly fight terror community.

This Sri Rama Sena is a curse. Doing all unnecessary things. This group is actually funded by Saudi Arabia. They want to curb true Hindutva groups such as Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

Mysuru, Nov 12: Zameer Ahmad Khan, the Tourism and Waqf minister of Karnataka, who stirred a controversy by addressing the Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy as ‘Kaala Kumaraswamy’ has tendered apologies for his remarks.

Speaking to reporters in Mysuru on Tuesday, Minister Zameer stated that he will apologise if remarks have hurt JD-S workers.

“We both are very close. Then, in a total of 24 hours, we were together for 14 hours. He used to fondly address me as “kulla” (shorty) and I used to address him as “kariyanna” (blacky, kaalia),” Minister Zameer stated.

“I am not addressing him as ‘kaalia’ for the first time. I have not said something highly derogatory. It is being made as big in the backdrop of elections. With love, he used to call me a shorty and I called him a blacky. If I had caused pain to anyone by my words I apologise,” he said.

He further stated: “Kumaraswamy had said that he didn’t want the votes of the Muslim community. But now they are attempting to purchase Muslim votes. Against this backdrop, I have made the remark.”

Minister for Home G. Parameshwara stated on Tuesday, “Minister Zameer and Kumaraswamy are close friends. Their comments against each other are not significant.”

Zameer Ahmad Khan, the Tourism and Waqf minister of Karnataka stirred a controversy on Monday as he addressed the Union Minister as ‘Kaala Kumaraswamy’.

JD-S on Tuesday demanded a public apology and resignation of Minister for Waqf and Tourism Zameer Ahmad Khan over his ‘racist’ remarks.

“Remember, there is no place here for your divisive policies. You have insulted the people by making ethnic, racist and discriminatory statements. You should apologize to the people of the state and resign,” the JD (S) demanded in the post.

Union Parliamentary Affairs and Minister for Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju reacted sternly to the racist jibe and stated, “I strongly deplore Congress Minister Zameer Ahmed calling Union Minister and former Chief Minister of Karnataka Kumaraswamy as 'Kaalia Kumaraswamy'.

Prominent NRI community leader SM Syed Khalilur Rehman, fondly known as CA Khalil, passed away in Dubai on Thursday at the age of 86 after a brief illness.

Khalil had been admitted to Aster Hospital in Mankhool on Tuesday after experiencing severe leg weakness. Despite the best efforts of the medical team, he succumbed to a double heart attack that worsened his condition, his son Rais Ahmed confirmed.

The news of his passing has sent waves of grief across communities, particularly in his hometown of Bhatkal, Karnataka, where he was a celebrated figure. Tributes have been pouring in on social media, highlighting his significant contributions to international trade, social service, and education.

A Legacy of Leadership and Service

A chartered accountant by profession, Khalil was a founding member of the Dubai chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), where he served as chairman from 1987 to 1994. His illustrious career included key leadership roles, such as general manager of Khaleej Times, group executive director of the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group, and vice-chairman of the Jashanmal Group of Companies.

He also chaired Maadhyama Communications and Sahil Online, a web-based news platform, and was a director and trustee of several media companies and charitable organisations in Dubai and India.

A Champion for Education and Philanthropy

Khalil’s impact extended far beyond his professional achievements. As president and general secretary of Anjuman Hami-e-Muslimeen, he played a pivotal role in the development of educational institutions, including schools and colleges in Bhatkal and surrounding areas. His dedication to social upliftment earned him recognition from the Government of Karnataka, which honoured him with a prestigious award for his philanthropic contributions.

A Life Celebrated

The Bhatkal Muslim Khaleej Council (BMKC) recently released a documentary celebrating Khalil’s remarkable life and service to the community—a testament to his enduring legacy.

CA Khalil is survived by his family and countless admirers across the globe. His passing marks the end of an era for Indian expatriates in the UAE and beyond, leaving behind a legacy of leadership, generosity, and commitment to community service.

vikramgowda.jpg

The Karnataka Police’s Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) achieved a major breakthrough on Monday night by eliminating Vikram Gowda, one of Karnataka’s most wanted Naxal leaders for over two decades. The encounter occurred in the dense Kabbinale forest of Udupi district, marking a significant victory against Naxal insurgency in the region.

Who Was Vikram Gowda?

Hailing from Hebri in Udupi, Vikram Gowda, 44, was a prominent figure in the Naxal movement. He went underground in 2002, initially serving as a courier and fund collector before rising to lead a breakaway Naxal group. Despite having only a fourth-grade education, he was a staunch advocate for tribal rights and a key player in the movement’s survival in Karnataka.

Bounty: ₹3 lakh from Karnataka and ₹50,000 from Kerala.

Legacy: The last major Naxal leader in Karnataka after the 2021 arrest of B G Krishnamurthy.

The Encounter

Police revealed that Gowda and his team visited Kabbinale village to collect groceries on Monday night. Acting on a tip-off, ANF ambushed the group. When the Naxals opened fire, ANF responded, leading to Gowda's death.

Escapees: Three Naxals fled, including prominent members Latha (aka Mundgaru Latha) and Raju.

Significance: This was the first Naxal casualty in Karnataka in over two decades.

Home Minister G. Parameshwara confirmed the operation, stating, “Gowda was elusive for 20 years, escaping multiple encounters. His death is a critical step in dismantling Naxal operations in the region.”

The Decline of Naxal Activity in Karnataka

Karnataka's Naxal movement has been dwindling, with members seeking refuge in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The group’s strength had reduced to just 19 members by 2018, but recent sightings indicate attempts at revival:

2023 Activity: Reports of Gowda-led movements in the Kodagu and Hassan districts reignited concerns.

Political Heat: The BJP criticised the Congress government, alleging it created a “safe haven” for Naxals.

A Glimpse into Gowda’s Past

Personal Life: Gowda’s ex-wife, Savitri (alias Rajita), was arrested in 2021. She was a senior Naxal commander involved in insurgency since 2004.
Rehabilitation Efforts: Since 2013, Karnataka’s rehabilitation policy has seen 14 Naxals surrender and reintegrate into mainstream society.

A Milestone in Karnataka’s Fight Against Insurgency

The operation signifies a decisive blow to Naxal resurgence in the Western Ghats. While the ANF continues its search for escapees, the Karnataka government reaffirmed its commitment to offering rehabilitation to those willing to surrender.

As Karnataka celebrates this triumph, the message is clear: there is no room for insurgency in the state.
