No bloodshed in the name of Temples and Masjids: Shafi Saadi
Milad Sneha Sangama programme
Mangaluru, December 3: Ihsan Karnataka Foundation president NKM Shafi Saadi inaugurated the ‘Milad Sneha Sangama’ programme organized at the ‘Connect-2018 Community Convention’, to mark the Karnataka Cultural Foundation’s 5th anniversary at the Nehru Stadium here on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that there should not be bloodshed in the name of temples and masjids. The Muslim community would accept the Supreme Court verdict on Babri Masjid and Ram Mandir construction. Action should be taken against those who oppose the verdict. There would be no use from bandhs and disputing statements. Ram Mandir should be constructed under the Constitutional framework. After the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992, then prime minister PV Narasimha Rao had constituted a committee which spent Rs 18 crore in eight years to submit its report, in which there was no reference of the idol of Lord Sri Rama, he said.
Even the Allahabad High Court had given a verdict dividing the land into three parts. In that verdict, it had not mentioned about the idols of Lord Sri Rama. The Muslim community would welcome the Supreme Court verdict, he said.
Karnataka Hajj Samiti member and SSF national committee general secretary KM Abubakar Siddique Montugoli spoke on the occasion, while SYS state president GM Mohammad Kamil Saqafi presided over it.
SYS state vice president DK Umar Saqafi Kambalabettu, State SYS treasurer Yusuf Haji Uppalli, State SYS vice president Hyder Ali Kamil Nizami Shivamogga, SYS state secretary Abdul Haqeem Kodlipet, SYS secretary Usman Abdullah Kodagu, Team Hubburasool Conference convener Ashraf Saadi Malluru, SYS district president PM Usman Saadi Pattori, SYS Mangaluru leader CH Muhammed Ali Saqafi Ashariyya and others were present on the occasion.

Teenager beheaded in 4-decade-old fight over land in UP's Jaunpur; revenue officer suspended
Jaunpur (UP), Oct 30: A 17-year-old boy was beheaded with a sword in a fight over a piece of land in Kabiruddinpur village of this district on Wednesday, police said.
The dispute over the land is 40 years old and the matter is currently in a civil court, according to district administration officials.
While District Magistrate Dinesh Chandra suspended Lekhpal (local revenue officer) Jagdish Yadav, a report has been sent to the administration for action against Revenue Inspector Munni Lal, who oversees the area, the officials said.
Superintendent of Police Ajaypal Sharma said the violence was a consequence of a land dispute between villagers Ramjeet Yadav and Lalta Yadav.
"Ramesh Yadav, son of Lalta Yadav, began clearing grass from the disputed land ahead of Diwali this morning that flared up the tension," he said.
"During the confrontation, Ramesh attacked Anurag Yadav, son of Ramjeet Yadav, with a sword and decapitated him," he added.
Lalta Yadav was arrested after the incident and a hunt is on for his son Ramesh.
Additional police forces have been stationed in the village to prevent any further flare-ups.
An FIR has been registered against six individuals in connection with the case at Gaurabadshahpur police station.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav decried the violence and alleged there was no law and order left in the state.
"There is a strange contradictory relationship between today's government and crime. On one hand, both are together, on the other hand, the weaker and more inactive the government is becoming, the more powerful and active the criminals are becoming. Today's UP says we don't want BJP," he said on X.
Additional District Magistrate (ADM) R A Chauhan has been appointed to conduct a magisterial inquiry in the case and submit a report within three days.
In a statement, District Magistrate Chandra condemned the crime as "heinous" and assured strict administrative action against those responsible.
He further said the dispute is 40 years old and is currently under civil court review.
