Karnataka Muslim Jamaat organization inaugurated
Bengaluru, Jan 27: “Karnataka Muslim Jamaat is not a political party or a part of any political party. Our objective is to strive for the welfare of the Muslim community”, said Sulthanul Ulama AP Abubakkar Musliyar.
Declaring open the Karnataka Muslim Jamaat at a programme at Khuddus Saheb maidan here on Sunday, he said that when Muslim Jamaat organization was started in Kerala, they had faced lot of criticism.
But observing the works of the organization, the critics went silent. The government should not neglect the Karnataka Muslim Jamaat. The Muslims have been neglecting in all fields in the country. All communities should get their rights as per the Constitution. “Muslim community is now aware of its rights and duties. We should come together to get our rights. Otherwise, our people have to face the loss”, he opined.
Moulana Syed Noorani Miya Ashrafi said that all 90 lakh Muslims should come together to get their rights in the state. If you don’t raise your voice for this, efforts would be made to suppress your voices. The elected representatives from the community have greater responsibilities of fulfilling the demands of the community. This organization was floated just to guide the Muslims, he said.
Convention convener Moulana NKM Shafi Saadi said that though the Muslim population was 90 lakh in the state, they were being given just 4 per cent reservation in education and employment. In higher education, the Muslims have only 12 per cent, while other backward classes have 22 per cent. In spite of several years of tabling the Sachar Committee report on Muslims, no honest efforts were made to implement it.
Based on the population, the Muslim community should have 40 MLAs. But now, the community has just seven MLAs. The community which has just 3 per cent population had two chief ministers. But the Muslim community was being cornered purposefully. But the organization was not floated for political purpose. Instead, it was floated for the social, educational and economic welfare of the community, he said.
Moulana Najeeb Hyder Miya Barakati, Hazrat Allama Muhammad Mannan Miya Raza Khan Qadri, Badrus Sadat Syed Ibrahim Khaleel Al Bukhari, Sajjad Nasheen Syed Fazal Koyamma Al Bukhari, Sir Khazi Thajul Fhukhah Maulana Ibrahim Musliyar, Moulana Abdul Hakeem Azhari, Convention reception committee president Dr SSS Khader, Minister UT Khader, Rahim Khan, MLA R Roshan Baig, MLCs CM Ibrahim, Naseer Ahmed, BM Farooq, Former MLC Saleem Ahmed, Rajya Sabha Member Dr Syed Nasser Hussain and others were present.

3rd T20I: A three-match 'audition' starts for Gill to find his game back
Dharamsala (PTI): The countdown to save his place in the playing XI begins for a beleaguered Shubman Gill, who is likely to get three matches against South Africa to prove his worth before the Indian team management switches to a ‘Plan B’ ahead of the T20 World Cup, starting in six weeks.
As India gear up to play the third T20I against the Proteas on Sunday in sub-10-degree temperatures in the lap of the ice-clad Dhauladhar range, things are suddenly heating up in the Indian dressing room, with the prolonged poor form of skipper Suryakumar Yadav coming under the scanner.

Worse, his deputy Shubman Gill, who was pushed into the XI at the expense of a settled Sanju Samson, is not inspiring much confidence.
The South African pace attack featuring Anrich Nortje, Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi, Ottniel Baartman and Lutho Sipamla — has shown how to bowl on Indian tracks, and the HPCA Stadium strip, offering extra bounce and some movement off the surface, will certainly keep them interested.

Among all T20 sides, South Africa, in terms of personnel, appears to have the requisite balance to win the trophy in the Indian subcontinent this time. Quinton de Kock’s return, along with the likes of Aiden Markram, Dewald Brevis, Donovan Ferreira, David Miller and all-rounder Jansen, gives their batting an intimidating look.
With only eight games, starting from the third T20I, left before the start of the T20 World Cup title defence, India's under-fire head coach Gautam Gambhir won't be able to afford, two out-of-form top-order batters in the starting line-up.
Being the skipper of the side, Surya will certainly have immunity going into the T20 World Cup despite being completely out of form for the past one year but same can't be said about Gill, who wasn't the original choice as an opener.
Gill's entry into the T20 set-up was a classic case of trying to fix something that ain't broken and things haven't looked good so far.
In this backdrop, Gill would need to bat out of his skin to prove that Ajit Agarkar-led committee wasn't wrong in throwing Samson under the bus for one bad series against England.
The stylish Indian Test and ODI skipper will have to find his T20 game and at least score in two of the three matches if he doesn't want Samson to get his rightful place back or for that matter, find Yashasvi Jaiswal, with a fabulous T20I strike-rate of 165, enter the fray during New Zealand series.
Lack of clarity
==========
While head coach Gambhir is too proud a person to admit but sending Axar Patel as a one drop batter during the second T20I was a "tactical brain fade" from the team's think-tank.
The kind misstep that was taken with Axar's promotion is unlikely to be repeated in the third game where skipper is expected to go back to No.3 where he has got a lot of success in his first few years at the international level.
Similarly, Shivam Dube being sent at number eight due to the shuffling of batting order was another poor call which would need course correction in the next game.
Is there a place for Kuldeep Yadav?
=========================
Kuldeep Yadav is one bowler who has consistently troubled the Proteas batter but in an Indian team where batting till No. 8 is non-negotiable, the left-arm wrist spinner often finds himself getting the rough end of the stick.
At Dharamsala too, he might have to sit out as Kuldeep and Varun Chakravarthy, two non-batters can't be clubbed in the same T20 playing eleven as that would lead to compromise in batting depth.
While Arshdeep hasn't had a good series so far, it will be interesting to find if team management can find a place for Kuldeep in the playing eleven with Hardik Pandya sharing the new ball with Jasprit Bumrah.
The five-match series is currently tied 1-1.
Teams:
India: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, NT Tilak Verma, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Sanju Samson (wk), Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar.
South Africa: Aiden Markram (captain), Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Dewald Brevis, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Donovan Ferreira, Marco Jansen, Lutho Sipamla, Ottniel Baartman, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, George Linde.
Match Starts at 7 pm.
