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.

New Delhi: Election Commission of India’s official results website ‘results.eci.gov.in’ has reportedly experienced a technical outage on Saturday morning, at a time when India closely watches the high-stakes Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly poll battle.

Visitors visiting the site were met with non-functional links and a generic “counting in progress” message, leaving them without updated election data. The ECI has not issued an official explanation for the disruption.

Vote counting, which began at 8 a.m. with postal ballots, is underway for 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra and 81 in Jharkhand. Early trends suggest a lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra, currently ahead in 141 seats, while the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is leading in 96. In Jharkhand, the BJP-led NDA is ahead in 43 seats, while the ruling JMM-led alliance is trailing with leads in 33 constituencies.

Additionally, counting is underway for 48 assembly bypolls across 13 states and two parliamentary seats, Nanded in Maharashtra and Wayanad in Kerala.
