Defaming Prophet Mohammed: Protest staged against Journalist Santosh Thammayya
Siddapura (Kodagu): Several Muslim organizations staged a protest against Santosh Thammayya near Palibetta bus stand who made defamatory statements against Prophet Mohammed.
Addressing the protesters, Muneer Faizi said, journalist Santosh Tammayya, who spoke lightly about the Prophet, has hurt us. "He must talk about him after reading the prophet's history. Instead, he is making comments without reading the life sketch of the prophet," he said.
"If they can't believe the prophet's biography written by Muslims, then let them read his biography written by Swamy Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Narayan Guruswamy, and others," he added.
"Santhosh Thammayya should immediately seek an unconditional apology. Otherwise, a legal battle will be fought against him," he warned. Social activist Mustafa Siddapura said that the Prophet cannot be insulted.
Abid, Rauf, Rashid, Faizal, Andai, Rafeeq and others led the protest.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
