Bengaluru: Karnataka Muslim Jamaat on Monday issued a statement that urged voters to vote for a government that will protect the constitution and democratic values of the country.

Karnataka Muslim Jamaat General Secretary Moulana NKM Shafi Saadi, while addressing a press conference said that India being the largest democracy of the world should bring into power a government that can protect its democratic values and not compromise with it. He further noted that people should actively turn up for voting on Election Day and voting percentage across the country should increase

“In Karnataka, about 15% voters are Muslims and yet the political parties have repeatedly ignored the community and its demands over the year. It is time we start looking for an alternate solution in politics for the community” he added.

“Political parties use its Muslim party workers only during elections to attract Muslim votes. They use their Muslim workers as agents of getting the votes of the community. There is a need to create awareness in this regard as this often results in the split of our votes and thereby weakening the value of our collective voting power” he noted.

Karnataka Muslim Jamaat State Vice President Mahmood Musliyar, Advisor Shaikhuna Abbas Ustad, Kodagu District Convenor Hafeez Saadi, Ismail Sakhafi Kondangeri, Abdulatheef Suntikopa, Hamza Kottamudi were present on the occasion.

Ranchi (PTI): A 60-year-old security guard of a temple in Ranchi was bludgeoned to death with a stone during a robbery attempt, police said on Saturday.

The incident happened late on Thursday at the Jagannath Temple in the Dhurwa Smart City area, they said.

"Three persons were arrested on Friday for killing the security guard. They confessed to the crime and told police that the victim had identified them. Therefore, in fear of being caught, they killed him by attacking him with a stone on his head," SSP Rakesh Ranjan said.

"Thereafter, they took money from the donation box and fled the scene. Two of them have criminal antecedents," he added.

Ranjan said the investigators recovered Rs 3 lakh in cash that had been robbed, the stone with blood-stained marks, and the iron rod used to break open the lock of the donation box kept there.

An FIR in this regard was lodged at the Dhurwa police station, he said, adding that the accused were sent to judicial custody by a court.
