DK secular parties, organizations urge incharge Minister action against communal activities
Mangaluru: When the Congress came to power in the state, it promised to take action to control communal activities in the Dakshina Kannada district. However, communal activities inciting hatred have continued, stated a joint Forum of secular parties and organization demanding action to prevent such incidents, submitted a request to the district in-charge minister.
Minister Dinesh Gundurao received the request from the forum, led by Secretary Munir Katipalla, at the Deputy Commissioner's office on Monday.
"Recently, the police department registered a case against Sharan Pump Well for inciting communal riots related to an incident of inviduals offering namaz on the roadside in Kankanady. However, the High Court stayed the case. Similarly, the High Court stayed a case of communal incitement in front of Gerosa School. These repeated incidents have undermined the police department's efforts to take legal action against communal incitement," the letter read.
In the letter, the forum also questioned whether the police's FIRs are weak, allowing such serious cases to be easily dismissed.
In the letter it was also alleged that a systematic conspiracy was plotted to enrage Muslims and create communal tension under the guise if the BJP's election victory. Incidents where BJP workers illegally gathered and shouted provocative slogans in front of the Karopadi Masjid and Boliyar Masjid during celebrations, despite prohibition orders."
The forum further urged for a strict legal action in these cases and called for proper measures to prevent such future incidents.

Rohit Sharma's leaked chat with Zaheer Khan sparks controversy ahead of LSG vs MI clash
Mumbai: A video featuring Rohit Sharma in conversation with former Mumbai Indians coach Zaheer Khan has gone viral, stirring controversy ahead of Mumbai Indians' IPL 2025 match against Lucknow Super Giants. The footage, shared by Mumbai Indians on social media, shows Rohit saying, “Jo jab karna tha maine kiya barabar se, ab mereko kuch karne ki zarurat nahi hai” (Whatever had to be done, I did it properly, now I don't need to do anything).
The clip quickly drew comparisons to a similar controversy in IPL 2024 when Rohit was seen speaking with Kolkata Knight Riders' assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, allegedly discussing internal matters of Mumbai Indians. That video was later taken down by KKR’s social media team.
🚨Selfish Greedy Rohit Sharma got exposed again. Last year he was talking with Abhishek Nair now with EX MI Bowling coach Zaheer Khan.

“Mujhe jo karna tha maine tab barabar se kiya, ab mereko koi jarurat nhi” (probably about his batting for MI)

Adding to the intrigue, Rishabh Pant was seen approaching Rohit and sharing a hug during the conversation. Fans have speculated on the significance of the remarks, with debates intensifying online.
As Mumbai Indians prepare to face Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana Stadium, Rohit’s on-field form remains a concern. The veteran batsman has managed only 21 runs in three innings so far this season. However, the team gained momentum with a win against Kolkata Knight Riders, fueled by strong performances from Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton.
Lucknow Super Giants, boasting a 5-1 head-to-head record against MI, will rely on Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh to maintain their dominance. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant, struggling for runs, will be under scrutiny as both teams aim for a crucial victory.
