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.

China miffed over Indian mountaineers naming Arunachal Pradesh mountain after 6th Dalai Lama
Beijing (PTI): China was on Thursday miffed over Indian mountaineers naming a previously unnamed peak in Arunachal Pradesh after the 6th Dalai Lama, reiterating its territorial claims over the area.
A team from the National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports (NIMAS) scaled an unnamed and unclimbed 20,942 ft high peak in Arunachal Pradesh and decided to name the summit after the 6th Dalai Lama Tsangyang Gyatso, who was born in 1682 in the region of Mon Tawang.
NIMAS, located at Dirang in Arunachal Pradesh, functions under the Ministry of Defence.
Naming the peak after the 6th Dalai Lama is a tribute to his timeless wisdom and his profound contributions to the Monpa community and beyond, said a Defence Ministry press release.
When asked for his reaction, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a media briefing here, "I’m not aware of what you mentioned."
"Let me say more broadly that the area of Zangnan is Chinese territory, and it’s illegal, and null and void for India to set up the so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" in Chinese territory. This has been China's consistent position," he said.
China calls Arunachal Pradesh Zangnan.
Also, China has been renaming places in Arunachal Pradesh since 2017 to assert its claims.
India emphatically rejected China's claims over Arunachal Pradesh, saying it is an integral part of India and assigning "invented" names does not alter this reality.
