Congress will be uprooted if devotees of Hanuman rebel against it: Basavaraj Bommai

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Congress would be uprooted from the country if the devotees of Lord Hanuman rebelled against it, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Tuesday.
Reacting to the release of the Congress manifesto, in which the party announced it would ban organisations such as Bajrang Dal and Popular Front of India, Bommai also said it was improper for the Congress to draw parallels between Bajrang Dal and Popular Front of India.
“The devotees of Lord Hanuman are the Bajrangis of Bajrang Dal and the Congress Party has announced in its election manifesto that it would ban the Bajrang Dal. If the devotees of Lord Hanuman rebel, then the Congress will be uprooted from the country,” Bommai’s office quoted him as saying in a statement.

Bommai was speaking at a road show at Navalgund in Dharwad, where the party has fielded its candidate Shankar Patil Munenakoppa.
Later, talking to reporters, Bommai said the Congress would not come to power and the question of banning Bajrang Dal would not rise.
“However, such promises show their (Congress) policy. The Bajrang Dal is a social and religious service association. PFI has done work against the country, indulged in terror activities and there are many cases and evidences against them. Hence, it is not proper to compare PFI with Bajrang Dal. Already PFI has been banned,” he said.
He said there was no question of banning the Bajrang Dal because state governments did not have the power to ban any organisation. Only Centre could do it.
Bommai also called the Congress manifesto a way to mislead people.

Jamia Masjid, Dargah witness massive gathering of devotees on last Friday of Ramadan

[ad_1]
Srinagar, Apr 21: A massive gathering of devotees was witnessed in Srinagar’s Hazratbal Dargah shrine and the historic Jamia Masjid on the last Friday of the holy month Ramadan.
Reports reaching the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that nearly 50,000 devotees offered congregational Friday prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid, which remained closed for the prayers last Friday.
The biggest congregation was, however, witnessed at Hazratbal shrines where the devotees from different parts of the Valley participated in the Friday prayers, where the holy relic of the Prophet (SAW) was displayed during which emotional scenes were witnessed all around.
Large congregations were also witnessed in others Masjids and shrines including Masjid Jamiat-e-Ahlehadith, Gawkadal; Asar-e-Sharif, Janab Sahib Soura Asar-e-Sharif Shehri Kalashpora Ziarat-e-Makhdoom Sahib, Khanqah-e-Mualla and different Imambaras.
The biggest congregational prayers were also witnessed at several other shrines in different districts, including Chararisharief in Budgam, Khiram Sirhama & Hazratbal Kabamarg in Anantnag district, Shrines of Hazrat Sultan-ul-Arifeen and Sheikh Hamzah Makhdoom Sahib (RA) located in Ahm-e-Sharief and Gundpora-Rampora, respectively, in Bandipora district and other Masjids as well.
During the special prayers, the religious clerics threw light on the teachings of Islam.
Special arrangements were put in place including sanitation, lightening, traffic management, transport and relevant things for the devotees, officials said.
“We had also established a control room at Dargah Hazratbal where thousands of devotees are expected to gather for Friday congregational prayers and to have a glimpse of the holy relic,” officials said.

The authorities had also pressed buses into service to ferry devotees to and from Hazratbal Dargah.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson of the Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid, said that on the occasion of Last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, thousands of men, women and young people performed Friday prayer at the historical Jama Masjid Srinagar by prostrating themselves before the Almighty Allah, doing Tauba-Wa-Istighfaar – repenting over their sins and seeking forgiveness from their Lord.
However, the people were once again disappointed over the absence of their beloved leader Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq who is under house detention for the last nearly four years due to which the Mimbar and Mihraab of the grand mosque continue to remain silent, the statement said.
He conveyed the Eid-ul-Fitr message of the detained Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir to the people in a huge public gathering and appealed to them to celebrate Eid with simplicity according to Islamic teachings. They were urged to remember the poor, needy, backward and disadvantaged people of society in the festivities.
Anjuman expressed strong resentment against the continuous illegal and arbitrary detention of Mirwaiz –e-Kashmir and said the authorities should change their dictatorial attitude and release him before Eid
On the occasion, the people raised their voices for the immediate and unconditional release of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir.
Meanwhile, the Anjuman said that the Eid prayers are going to be offered after three years at Jama Masjid Srinagar inshallah and according to the programme, the Eid prayer will be offered at 09:00 am, In Sha Allah.
The people were urged to come before time and show Islamic unity and discipline on the occasion—(KNO)
