Mangaluru, Dec 7: Under the slogan 'Join hands for protection of constitutional rights', Samasta Shariat Protection Committee organised Shariat Protection Rally and convention at the Nehru Stadium here on December 9, Convention reception Committee convener UK Abdul Azeez Darimi said.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he said that the Constitution has entitled the right to the people of all religions to live as per their religion in the biggest ever democratic and secular country like India. But in recent days, efforts were on to neglect the importance of the Constitution and interfere in religious aspects, which dangerous to the very existence of the democracy. Decision on triple talaq and homosexuality were the clear indication of snatching religious freedom. This convention was organized to educate the people on such issues and protect the values of democracy, he said.
Those who oppose triple talaq norms should be given opportunity to move the court instead of interfering in the religious matter like triple talaq.

Migrant worker from Bengal beaten to death over bidi in Odisha: Police
Sambalpur/ Kolkata (PTI): A 30-year-old migrant worker from West Bengal was allegedly killed in Odisha's Sambalpur district following an altercation over a bidi, police said on Thursday.
Juel Sheikh was working, along with a few others from West Bengal, in the construction of a building in Shanti Nagar in the Ainthapalli police station area, they said.
On Wednesday night, when they were returning from work, a group of six men stopped them and asked for a bidi. An altercation broke out, leading to a scuffle between the two sides, police said.
Juel was thrashed severely, and he died while undergoing treatment at the Sambalpur hospital, police said.

"We have arrested all six accused persons. We are investigating the case," IGP (Northern Range) Himanshu Kumar Lal told PTI.
West Bengal's ruling TMC claimed that Juel was beaten to death over suspicion that he was an illegal Bangladeshi immigrant.
"The lynching of a Bengali migrant worker in Sambalpur is the direct outcome of @BJP4India’s sustained campaign against Bengalis. A citizen of India was beaten to death because a mob believed the lie that Bengalis are infiltrators who must constantly prove their right to exist," the TMC alleged in a post on X.
"For years, BJP leaders have deliberately branded Bengali-speaking Indians as infiltrators, outsiders, and suspects. That poisonous narrative has now reached the streets, where anyone feels empowered to act as immigration officers and executioners," it claimed.
Asked about the allegation, the IGP said the murder has nothing to do with whether the "victim was a Bengali or Bangladeshi".
