‘When Babri Masjid was demolished, they…,’ Asaduddin Owaisi hits out at Congress

[ad_1]
Hubballi: Hitting out at the Congress party on Tuesday, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that the grand old party just makes promises before the elections but non of them are fulfilled.
Referring to the Babri Masjid demolition, he said that Congress made a resolution of rebuilding the mosque but nothing was done.
“When Babri Masjid was demolished, they made a resolution of rebuilding a mosque there. What became of that? A lot of things are said before elections. You can see what happens post-elections…,” said Owaisi.

Owaisi refuted the claims made by Congress that he was sent by the BJP to divide Muslim votes in the poll-bound Karnataka.
“…This is nonsense. We are contesting on only 2 seats across Karnataka. There is a saying in Urdu – naach na jaane aangan tedha. That is their case,” he said.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Congress released its manifesto for Karnataka polls making a slew of promises such as ‘Gruha Jyoti’, ‘Gruha Lakshmi’ and ‘Anna Bhagya’ even as it apparently sought to draw a parallel between Bajrang Dal and PFI and said it will take decisive action as per law including imposing a ban on any organisations which promote enmity and hatred.
The manifesto was released by party chief Mallikarjun Kharge in the presence of senior state leaders.
The party said it will increase the quota limit from 50 per cent to 75 per cent for all castes based on population.

The party also promised to release the Socio-Economic caste census and accord social justice accordingly.
The Congress said it will ensure 80 per cent of jobs in Karnataka to local people in both the public and private sectors.
The party has promised a start-up fund of Rs 10 crore to each constituency.
Karnataka will go to Assembly polls on May 10 and the counting of votes will take place on May 13.

Hyderabad: 2 shout ‘Jai Shree Ram’ slogan in Makkah Masjid, held

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Two persons from Maharashtra who allegedly raised ‘Jai Sree Ram’ slogans at Makkah Masjid were taken into custody by the Hussainialam police on Thursday. This is the first time that such an incident has taken place inside the mosque, which is one of the largest historic Muslim place of worship in the city.
According to the police, three individuals Anmol, Vishal and Venkat had come to the Mecca Masjid in the afternoon on Thursday. After going inside, they raised “Jai Shree Ram” slogans, which today is a Hindutva war cry used in rallies, or during any anti-minority attack as well. Vishal is on the run.
On noticing it, the security personnel in the Makkah Masjid immediately took them into custody and alerted the Hussainialam police station. A police team took them into custody and is interrogating them.

The police are making efforts to identify and arrest the other person who escaped from the spot. Security at the Mecca Masjid was beefed up following the incident. Senior police officials also visited the mosque, which is located in the Charminar area and is a major tourist attraction as well.
The Makkah Masjid in Hyderabad is a 17th-century mosque from the Golconda period (1518-1687). Its construction was initiated by Sultan Mohd Qutb Shah, the fifth monarch of the Qutb Shahi (or Golconda) dynasty (which also founded and built Hyderabad in 1591).
Sultan Mohd Qutb Shah was the nephew of Hyderabad’s founder Mohd Quli Qutb Shah. The former decided to construct the mosque for those who could not travel to Mecca for pilgrimage. According to legend, he reportedly managed to bring a brick from the Kaaba, which was part of the Makkah Masjid’s foundation in 1616, when the construction began.
However, it is said that Hyderabad’s founding prime minister Mir Momin Astrabadi prophesied that whoever completes the mosque would be the last king. Hence, Sultan Mohd Qutb Shah apparently abandoned his plans, which the next two kings of the Golconda kingdom tried to complete but failed.
By 1687 however, the Mughal empire under Aurangzeb undertook its southern expansion, and Hyderabad (Golconda kingdom) was the last Deccan state to fall to the north Indian empire. Hyderabad was almost entirely destroyed in the final siege in 1687. It was after that under the Mughals that the Makkah Masjid (that was spared) was completed by around 1695.

Eid Prayers Barred At Jamia Masjid, Auqaf Expresses Resentment

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid on Saturday expressed strong resentment against the administration for disallowing the Eid prayer at the historic Jamia Masjid for the 4th consecutive year.
Anjuman said that police and civil authorities informed them late Friday evening that Eid prayers would only be allowed at Jama Masjid Srinagar if held before 7.30 am, which was not possible for the Anjuman as it had already given the programme of offering Eid prayer at 09:00 am as people from far-flung areas come to offer Eid prayer at the Jamia Masjid Srinagar,” the Anjuman spokesman said in a statement.
The Auqaf said that Jamia Masjid is a central place of congregational prayers in the valley. The purpose of such central places of worship is to provide a space and opportunity to Muslims so that they can pray together in large numbers on Fridays and other religious occasions, and experience the physical and spiritual communion as an ummah.
To facilitate people from across the valley to reach these central places, prayers timings are decided accordingly and like in Dargah Hazratbal prayers timings by the Waqf Board has been set at 10.30 am, Anjuman Auqaf had also announced prayers at 9:00 am. It is strange that if congregational prayers can be allowed at other places at 10:30 am, why not at Jamia Masjid, why unreasonable conditions are being applied here?,” the Anjuman asked.
The Auqaf said that it fails to understand why the grand occasions of Shab-e-Qadr and Jummat-ul-Vida were performed by a large number of people in Jama Masjid in a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere, and why were the Eid prayers barred.
“Anjuman Auqaf deeply regrets this approach of the authorities causing great hurt and sorrow to the Muslims of JK, as does the prolonged detention of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq since august 2019, who would deliver the soul rendering Eid sermon prior to congregational Eid prayers,” the Anjuman said.

Kashmir: Eid celebrated with traditional fervour; no Eid prayers at Jamia Masjid

[ad_1]
Srinagar: Eid-ul-Fitr was celebrated across Kashmir on Saturday with traditional fervour and gaiety as the largest congregation of devotees was witnessed at the Hazratbal shrine on the banks of the Dal lake.
However, authorities did not allow Eid prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid in the old city, a day after allowing Friday congregational prayers.
Hopes of Eid prayers being offered at the 14th-century mosque in the city’s Nowhatta area were raised after authorities allowed the Shab-e-Qadr and Jumatul Vida prayers.

However, officials directed the Jamia Masjid management to conduct the Eid prayers at 7.30 am instead of 9 am.
The Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid said the prayers could not be held at 7.30 am as people had to come from far-flung areas in accordance with the schedule announced earlier.
The Eid celebrations went on smoothly elsewhere with men, women and children, dressed in their best, making a beeline to mosques, eidgahs and shrines to offer prayers.
The largest congregational prayers were held at the Hazratbal shrine where former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah was among the notable persons to offer prayers.
Large congregations for Eid prayers were also reported from other district headquarters and towns of the valley.
