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.

Chikkaballapur: As tensions escalate in West Asia, the small town of Alipur in Gauribidanur taluk has drawn attention due to its decades-long religious and cultural ties with Iran, Prajavani reported.
Though geographically far from the conflict zone, residents of Alipur, a town panchayat with a population of around 25,000 Shia Muslims, closely follow developments in Iran. The town is regarded as one of the largest Shia Muslim settlements in South India, and many families here maintain deep spiritual and educational connections with the Islamic Republic.
Over the years, Shia Muslims from Alipur have travelled to Iran for religious studies, pilgrimage, and higher education. The influence of Iranian religious leadership is visible in the town’s institutions as well. A hospital in the village is named after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s spiritual lineage, and a large portrait of Ayatollah Imam Khamenei adorns the building.
Alipur has also been visited by several prominent personalities from India and abroad. Former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, and senior Congress leaders have attended events in the town. In 2018, former Thai Deputy Prime Minister Dr. Sonthi Bunyaratglin took part in a Unity Day celebration at the village’s Nobel School. WWE wrestler ‘The Great Khali’ visited the town in 2021 for a private event, drawing large crowds.
Many residents have business and trade links with countries in West Asia, including Iran and Gulf nations. Some families are involved in the gemstone trade and overseas commerce. According to officials, more than 120 people from Alipur are currently residing in Iran.
In view of the prevailing war situation in the Middle East, the Chikkaballapur district administration has set up a helpline to assist residents stranded abroad. District Collector Prabhu has urged families to provide details such as the name, age, passport number, contact information, and current location of relatives overseas. Information can be shared through the District Disaster Management Centre helpline number 08156-277002 or via WhatsApp at 9591178093 and 9845531026.
