Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem clears stance on resolution against Muslim candidate from Bhatkal
Bhatkal: Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem on Friday called a press conference at its office and cleared its stance over the recent resolution passed against fielding Muslim candidate from the Bhatkal-Honnavar Assembly Constituency in the upcoming Karnataka Elections.
Speaking at the press conference Tanzeem’s Political Panel’s convener Advocate Imran Lanka said that the resolution passed on March 20 during the meeting of collective jamaats of the region was against fielding a Muslim candidate and not against supporting a Muslim candidate.
“We proposed fielding a Muslim candidate from Tanzeem, the proposal was rejected in the meeting with regional Jamaats. It doesn’t mean we made a resolution against supporting a Muslim candidate. We can support a secular candidate whether he is a Hindu or Muslim. We will take a call on that later when election dates are announced,” Imran stated.
He was accompanied by the Vice Convener of the political panel and president of the Bhatkal Muslim Youth Federation Moulana Azeez ur Rahman Nadvi.
With this, JD(s) candidate and Tanzeem President, Inayathullah Shabandri is once again in the election fray ahead of the elections and people are now hoping he would contest the coming assembly election and would seek support from Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
