Sunni Ulamas call to support to secular parties
Mangaluru, May.8: Election is the strong weapon in the hands of people in a democracy like India. On May 12 everyone must cast their vote and make secular parties emerge victorius, Sunni ulamas have urged the people.
In Indian system political participation is a necessity of every people including religious persons. The Indians heritage of plural cultural is under threat from communal forces. Every citizen needs to vote against this force, they said.
Sunni organisations will neither support nor oppose any party. But to avoid any chances of communal forces coming into power or secular votes getting divided, we need to vote for a party that has more chances of winning. Secular forces must join hands together to defeat communal intolerance and other unwanted developments in the country. Hence, we need to cast our votes carefully said ulamas.
During the meeting the administration of last five years was analyzed and the commitment of Siddaramaiah government towards concern for people, communal harmony was commended.
The meeting was held at the resident of state president of Sunni Jamiyattul Qazi Bekal Ibrahim Musliyar under his presidentship. General secretary Abdul Hameed Musliyar Maani, secretary S.P Hamza Saqafi, SYS state president G.M Muhammed Kamil, general secretary Emmessam Abdul Rashid Zaini, co-secretary M.V Siddiq Saqafi, members M.E Ummer Saqafi, SEDC state president K.K.M Kamil Saqafi, secretary of Muslim Jamat council Abu Sufyan Madani, secretary of Sunni unions’ federation P.P Ahmed Saqafi, SSF national secretary K.M Abubaquer Siddique were present.
Do not listen to false propagandas
There is false news spreading that Sunni organisations including SSF have decided to defeat some candidates of the party. It is highly condemnable. Our organisation has never taken any decision against or in support of a candidate. The statement given by the person related to the next government is his own views and the organisation is not responsible for that. We have not appointed any spokesperson to convey the stands of the organisation. So nobody should pay heed to false news, urged the Ulamas.

Narcotic substances worth Rs 11.50 cr seized, two people arrested
Bengaluru (PTI): Two alleged interstate drug peddlers, including a woman, have been arrested with narcotic substances worth Rs 11.50 crore, police said on Tuesday.
The arrests were made recently following a raid conducted by the Narcotics Control Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) in Bagalur police station limits, they said.
Police said 8,335 LSD strips, five kg of Hydro Ganja, 534 grams of Charas, two mobile phones and a two-wheeler were seized from their possession.
"Based on a tip-off, two interstate drug peddlers, including a woman, were apprehended. Both had been residing in Bengaluru for the past year and were involved in an organised illegal drug distribution network. They were receiving narcotic substances from a Kerala-based individual residing in Thailand and distributing them to customers as per his instructions, thereby earning illegal profits," a senior police officer said.
Addressing a press conference here, Seemant Kumar Singh said this was the first time such a huge quantity of LSD had been recovered in Bengaluru.
“We are trying to find out from where it has been sourced and where it was meant to be supplied. We have some specific inputs about the intended targets. However, without concrete evidence, we cannot conclude. We are working to establish how such a huge quantity was procured and for whom it was meant,” he said.
Singh added that further investigation is underway to trace the supply chain and identify those involved in the distribution network.
A case has been registered against them under the NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act) at Bagalur Police Station, and further investigation is in progress, police said.
In another operation, 1.5 kg Hydro Ganja was seized by the officials at K G Nagar police station here, police said.
The contraband had been smuggled via international parcel services and cleverly concealed inside chocolate and biscuit boxes to avoid suspicion, and the estimated value is Rs 1.5 crore, the officer said.
A case has been registered, and efforts are ongoing to trace the accused, police said.
An interstate accused was arrested in the Whitefield police station limits, for selling narcotic drugs on March 1, they said.
Police said 27.239 kg Ganja, 3.200 kg Hashish Oil, along with the two-wheeler used in the crime, with a total worth of Rs 55 lakh was seized from him, they added.
In a separate operation, two foreign women who were overstaying their visas were apprehended within the limits of Mico Layout Police Station, officials said.
They have been handed over to the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) and subsequently sent to the Foreigners Detention Centre as per legal procedures, they added.
