UT Khader expresses shock over Koorath Thangal’s demise
Mangaluru: The Muslim community is mourning the unexpected demise of Assayed Fazal Koyamma Thangal Koorath, the spiritual leader of the Coastal Muslim Community and Ullal Khazi. Speaker U T Khadar expressed his shock and sorrow over the news while addressing the media after paying his last respects to Koorath Thangal at his residence in Ettikulam near Payyannur on Monday.
"Sayyed had spoken to me only two days ago," Khadar said. "The news of his death, especially given that he had no prior health issues, has plunged the entire community into unbearable grief. Koorath Thangal was a pillar of spiritual support for many, offering guidance and solace to those in need. He treated everyone equally, regardless of caste, creed, poverty, or affluence. Thangal consistently preached the importance of reverence for the creator and mutual love and trust among people."
Speaker Khadar described Koorath Thangal as an exemplary person who stood firmly for truth. "The community, still grieving the loss of his father, Tajul Ulama, now faces renewed despondency with Thangal’s passing," he added.

BJP flags ‘suspicious’ circumstances in Kerala trekker Sharanya case, seeks probe
Madikeri (Karnataka) (PTI): The BJP on Wednesday demanded a thorough investigation into the case of Kerala trekker GS Sharanya, who went missing for three days and was later found.
Members of the BJP’s Kodagu unit lodged a complaint at the Napoklu police station, seeking a probe and stating that the case appeared suspicious.
Sharanya, who had gone on a trek to Tadiandamol hill near Kakkabbe, went missing and was later found on Sunday following a search operation by the police, forest department, and residents.
Kodagu BJP leader P Danoj submitted a complaint to the Station House Officer, seeking a proper investigation into the case.
Speaking on the occasion, he said the behaviour of Sharanya, who was found on the fourth day, had raised suspicions.
“It is impossible for anyone to survive in a dense forest for four days without food. Naxal activities are taking place in several areas, and this case has further raised suspicion,” he said.
He demanded that the police conduct a thorough investigation and inform the public of the truth.
Napoklu BJP Shakti Kendra president Ambikaryappa alleged that Sharanya’s disappearance could be a "publicity stunt".
“It appears to be a drama aimed at tarnishing the tourism prospects of our district. Moreover, it is suspicious that Sharanya, who was in the dense forest for four days, was found without any signs of fatigue,” Ambikaryappa said.
