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.

Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 28: Kalaburagi Jail Chief Superintendent R Anitha on Thursday said that an unknown person sent an audio message via a police inspector claiming that they will blow up her car.

However, police said they have not received any complaints in this regard.

Speaking to reporters here, Anitha said, "Somebody has sent an audio message to the police inspector saying that they will blow up my car. I personally did not receive any such message so far, so I would not be lodging any police complaint."

Following the alleged threat, Anitha said she would be more cautious now.

Last month, after Anitha took charge as the Chief Superintendent of Jail, raids were conducted and searches were intensified after photographs and video clips purportedly showing three inmates getting special treatment in the Kalaburagi Central prison went viral on social media.

Following the raids, cell phones, gutka and cigarette packets and beedis were seized from the inmates.
