Mangaluru, May.8: Election is the strong weapon in the hands of people in a democracy like India. On May 12 everyone must cast their vote and make secular parties emerge victorius, Sunni ulamas have urged the people.

In Indian system political participation is a necessity of every people including religious persons. The Indians heritage of plural cultural is under threat from communal forces. Every citizen needs to vote against this force, they said.

Sunni organisations will neither support nor oppose any party. But to avoid any chances of communal forces coming into power or secular votes getting divided, we need to vote for a party that has more chances of winning. Secular forces must join hands together to defeat communal intolerance and other unwanted developments in the country. Hence, we need to cast our votes carefully said ulamas.

During the meeting the administration of last five years was analyzed and the commitment of Siddaramaiah government towards concern for people, communal harmony was commended.

The meeting was held at the resident of state president of Sunni Jamiyattul Qazi Bekal Ibrahim Musliyar under his presidentship. General secretary Abdul Hameed Musliyar Maani, secretary S.P Hamza Saqafi, SYS state president G.M Muhammed Kamil, general secretary Emmessam Abdul Rashid Zaini, co-secretary M.V Siddiq Saqafi, members M.E Ummer Saqafi, SEDC state president K.K.M Kamil Saqafi, secretary of Muslim Jamat council Abu Sufyan Madani, secretary of Sunni unions’ federation P.P Ahmed Saqafi, SSF national secretary K.M Abubaquer Siddique were present.

Do not listen to false propagandas

There is false news spreading that Sunni organisations including SSF have decided to defeat some candidates of the party. It is highly condemnable. Our organisation has never taken any decision against or in support of a candidate. The statement given by the person related to the next government is his own views and the organisation is not responsible for that. We have not appointed any spokesperson to convey the stands of the organisation. So nobody should pay heed to false news, urged the Ulamas.

ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.

“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.

The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.

“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.

Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.

There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
