Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem clears stance on resolution against Muslim candidate from Bhatkal
Bhatkal: Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem on Friday called a press conference at its office and cleared its stance over the recent resolution passed against fielding Muslim candidate from the Bhatkal-Honnavar Assembly Constituency in the upcoming Karnataka Elections.
Speaking at the press conference Tanzeem’s Political Panel’s convener Advocate Imran Lanka said that the resolution passed on March 20 during the meeting of collective jamaats of the region was against fielding a Muslim candidate and not against supporting a Muslim candidate.
“We proposed fielding a Muslim candidate from Tanzeem, the proposal was rejected in the meeting with regional Jamaats. It doesn’t mean we made a resolution against supporting a Muslim candidate. We can support a secular candidate whether he is a Hindu or Muslim. We will take a call on that later when election dates are announced,” Imran stated.
He was accompanied by the Vice Convener of the political panel and president of the Bhatkal Muslim Youth Federation Moulana Azeez ur Rahman Nadvi.
With this, JD(s) candidate and Tanzeem President, Inayathullah Shabandri is once again in the election fray ahead of the elections and people are now hoping he would contest the coming assembly election and would seek support from Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem.

BJP will form govt in Bengal with thumping majority: Nabin
Mirzapur (UP) (PTI): BJP president Nitin Nabin on Wednesday voiced confidence that his party will form the government in West Bengal with a "thumping majority".
Polling is underway for 142 constituencies in the second and final phase of the West Bengal assembly elections, covering key districts, including Kolkata, Howrah and North and South 24 Parganas.
The high-stakes contest is being seen as decisive for the ruling TMC's bid for a fourth consecutive term and the BJP's push to form its first government in the state. The first phase held on April 23 recorded a high voter turnout of over 93 per cent, reflecting intense electoral engagement.
Speaking to reporters in Mirzapur, Nabin said, "The BJP will form the government in Bengal. We are winning the elections with a massive majority."
Earlier in the day, the BJP chief visited the Vindhyavasini temple and offered prayers. The rituals were conducted by his priest Acharya Agastya Kumar Dwivedi.
On his first visit to the district after assuming office, Nabin was welcomed by party workers at several places. At the temple, he was received by city MLA Ratnakar Mishra and District Magistrate Pawan Kumar Gangwar, who felicitated him with a traditional 'angvastram'.
After offering prayers for about 10 minutes amid Vedic chants, Nabin held a meeting at a hotel with local MLAs, including Mishra, Majhwan MLA Suchismita Maurya and Madihan MLA Ramashankar Patel.
Patel said Nabin emphasised strengthening the organisation and asked public representatives to focus on serving people in their respective constituencies.
Several party leaders, including district president Lal Bahadur Saroj, district vice-president Gaurav Umar, municipal chairperson Shyam Sundar Kesari, women workers and senior officials, were present on the occasion.
Elaborate security arrangements were put in place by the district administration for the visit, with multiple officers of circle officer rank deployed, officials said.
