Social unrest rising due to segregation of people into ‘them’ and ‘us’: Mohammad Kunhi
Bhatkal: Neither should anyone in society be considered as an outsider nor should a religion be considered foreign, Sadbhavana Manch state secretary Mohammad Kunhi, has said.
“Division of the members of one society into ‘them’ and ‘us’ is leading to great unrest within the society,” Kunhi said, chairing a convention of the Sadbhavana Manch at Hotel Royal Oak on Bunder Road in Bhatkal on Thursday.
“A religion is always a means for people to develop themselves as human beings, for people to strengthen their beliefs. It is, therefore, incorrect to term a religion as foreign,” he stressed.
Manch president Sathish Kumar, who made the introductory speech, also welcomed the gathering. Secretary M R Manvi was the master of ceremony. The vote of thanks was proposed by the Jamaat-e-Islami Hind Bhatkal president Maulana Syed Zubair S M.
Honorary president of the Manch Maulana Munawwar Peshamam, vice-president Pascal Gomes, Tanzeem general secretary Abdul Raqib M J and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind district convener Muhammed Talha Siddibapa were present at the convention.

ED raids in case against former Punjab Police DIG Bhullar, linked entities
Chandigarh (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate on Monday conducted searches at multiple locations in Punjab as part of a money laundering probe against former state police DIG Harcharan Singh Bhullar and entities linked to him, officials said.
They said about 11 premises in Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Patiala, Nabha and Jalandhar linked to the accused, his associates and suspected benamidars (the owner in whose name a benami property is held) are being covered under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe stems from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) case registered against Bhullar on allegations that he sought illegal gratification through a middleman for settlement of a criminal case, along with detection of assets disproportionate to known sources of income.
The searches aim to trace further proceeds of the alleged crime, identify benami assets and gather evidence related to money laundering, ED officials said.
Bhullar, who was serving as the deputy inspector general (DIG) of police (Ropar Range), was arrested by the CBI in October 2025 after a scrap dealer alleged that bribe was demanded from him through an intermediary to settle a case.
