JIH hails Muslim Brotherhood victory; calls for strengthening of India-Egypt ties

June 26, 2012

Mangalore, June 26: India's leading Islamic movement Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has termed the success of Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi in the Egyptian presidential election as an important political event in the present times.

In a media release, JIH president Syed Jalaluddin Umari expressed the hope that the new government of Egypt would further strengthen its longstanding relations with India, an important power in Asia.

He also said that India too should take stock of the situation realistically and judiciously and create closeness and warmth in her relations with the Arab world and Muslim States.

Congratulating the people of North African nation for the historical political development, the leader of Islamic Movement in India said: “The success of Muslim Brotherhood in the Egyptian presidential election is the fruition of the matchless sacrifices of Imam Hasan al-Banna Shaheed, Syed Qutb Shaheed, Abdul Qadir Audah Shaheed and thousands of Muslim Brotherhood men and women and their extraordinary steadfastness in Islam in a dangerous Pharaonical environment of oppression and coercion spread over half a century – for which each and every Muslim Brotherhood men and Egyptian deserves congratulations”.

Umari also reminded the Muslim Brotherhood functionaries that anti-Islam and anti-Muslim forces and the Zionist state of Israel, established in their patronage at the borders of Egypt and in the heart of the Islamic world, would not bear it wholeheartedly; hence the new government of Egypt, with its home and foreign policies, should prove that Islam is the sources of success and salvation for the whole world and for this it has a complete system.

Demand for Mangaluru-Singapore direct flight gains momentum

News Network

September 13,2024

NRI professionals hailing from the coastal and Malnad regions of Karnataka, now based in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Australia, have been urging the Indian government and airlines to introduce a direct flight between Mangalore International Airport (MIA) and Singapore’s Changi Airport.

These professionals argue that Singapore’s strategic location as a hub connecting India with East Asia makes this flight essential. They highlight that this route would serve over 12 million people from the coastal and hill regions of southern India, fostering stronger ties with East Asian economies.

The group, consisting of individuals from Dakshina Kannada, Uttara Kannada, Udupi, Chikkamagaluru, Kodagu, Shivamogga, and Hassan, is spearheaded by Rajesh H Acharya, director of HQ Connections Pte Ltd, Singapore, and coordinator of the Singapore Tuluver community. Acharya emphasized the significance of the Indian government’s Act East policy, which aims to strengthen relationships between India and ASEAN, East Asia, and the Asia-Pacific region.

“This flight will open new doors for cultural, trade, tourism, and technological exchanges between these regions,” Acharya said.

The Mangalore Chapter of IndUS Entrepreneurs (TiE) has also proposed positioning the region as the 'Silicon Beach of India.' A direct flight would provide greater opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors from both Singapore and Mangaluru, boosting business exchanges.

Moreover, Singapore’s Changi Airport could see increased tourism from the Karnataka coast, while Coastal Karnataka would benefit from a surge in visitors from ASEAN countries, the Far East, Australia, New Zealand, and the US West Coast.

While a similar attempt in 2017 did not succeed, Acharya and his team are hopeful that this time their appeal will be taken seriously, tapping into the immense growth potential of the eastern half of the globe.
