Mangaluru, Dec 9: “Islam is the religion of Allah. Based on this, Shariat was also created by Allah. So, till the end of the universe, Shariat will remain. It is the duty of the Muslims to protect it. ‘Samasta’ is also committed to protect Shariat”, said Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama president Alhaji Sayyid Jifri Muthukoya Thangal.
Inaugurating the ‘Shariat Protection Convention’ organized by the Samastha Shariat Protection Committee with a slogan of ‘Let us join hands for the protection of Constitutional rights. Drive back materialistic theory which destroys religion’, at the Shahid CM Abdulla Musliyar stage at the Nehru Stadium here on Sunday, he said that the Constitution has entitled equal rights to the people of each religion. According to that, citizens could practice their religious rituals. So, Muslims have been practicing the Shariat rituals. Islam has never encouraged Talaq. But in order to tarnish the image of Islam, some people have been creating confusion in the society. It was the responsibility of administration to protect minorities in any country. The governments have to understand this basic thing. At this critical time, Samastha was ready to take any challenges to protect Muslim community, he said.

Bose questioned the expenditure in the post X, “when Everyone knows RSS is Not Registered & Does not Pay any Tax is it justified to spend Tax Payers Money on such Private event??”
Reacting to the development, Karnataka’s IT-BT and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge also criticised the spending.
In a post on X, he asked why public money was being used for what he described as a “private ideological project.”
"Modi Sarkar spent Rs 76,13,129 of public money on newspaper advertisements to celebrate 100 years of the RSS. Why is Government spending taxpayers money on an unregistered, non-tax-paying organisation to celebrate their centenary?," he added.
Why is public money being used to serve a private ideological project?

According to reports, the RSS describes itself as a volunteer-based organisation and has stated that it functions as a body of individuals rather than a registered entity.
Founded by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in 1925, the organisation is marking its centenary year beginning from Vijaydashami in 2025, with the milestone observed on October 2.
