Chakravarthy Sulibele who fears debates is coward: Dinesh Amin Mattu
Bhatkala, October 18: Scholar and senior journalist Dinesh Amin Mattu said that "I have invited Chakravarthy Sulibele for debate on Swami Vivekananda's. But he didn't turn up. Sulibele who escapes from debates is a coward".
Speaking at a programme here on Wednesday, he said that "every community should open to criticisms and receive them. No community which rejects criticisms would develop. Normally, secularists accuse Hindus in Muslim programmes. But I would criticise the Muslims. If I get opportunity, would also criticize Ananth Kumar Hegde in Brahmins programmes. I would criticize RSS in RSS meetings”, he said.
When I wrote about Swami Vivekananda, Sulibele had threatened me. But I have challenged him to speak about Swami Vivekananda on one platform with him. But he did not turn up. He is a coward. But I would not criticize Sulibele in Muslims programme. But I would criticize Muslims”, Amin Mattu said.

Kerala: Court imposes 41-year jail term on man for sexual assault of minor
Kozhikode (Kerala) (PTI): A Kerala court on Wednesday sentenced a man to 41 years in prison for sexually assaulting a minor boy near Valayam in 2021.
Nadapuram Fast Track Special Court judge K Naushad Ali sentenced 64-year-old Panchara Musa, also known as Ganapathiyat Musa, under various provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), according to special public prosecutor Manoj Aroor.
As the sentences are to run concurrently, the convict will have to serve the highest term of 20 years’ imprisonment, SPP Aroor said. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 52,000 on Musa.
The incident took place in August 2021 when the accused allegedly took the 14-year-old boy to a bus stop in Valayam town and sexually assaulted him, the prosecutor said. The accused also gave Rs 50 to the boy, he added.
Following the incident, the boy and his father lodged a complaint at the Valayam police station.
