Prophet Muhammed’s teachings sparked revolutionary change, showed path of unity, peace: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday urged citizens of all faiths to uphold the values enshrined in the Constitution by fostering mutual respect and religious tolerance. He was addressing the gathering at the International Milad-un-Nabi Conference, organised at Palace Grounds to commemorate the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammed.
Speaking at the event hosted by the Milad Committee, the Chief Minister said that tolerance towards all religions is a fundamental tenet of the Indian Constitution, and that it is imperative for every citizen to live by its principles.
He described Prophet Muhammed as a messenger of peace, emphasising that humanity must work collectively to uphold peace, unity, and brotherhood—ideals that lie at the heart of the Prophet’s teachings. “The preachings of the Prophet brought revolutionary changes in human history. He showed paths of justice, equality and religious harmony to the entire humanity,” The New Indian Express quoted him as saying.
In a gesture of solidarity, CM Siddaramaiah donned a cap and shawl presented by the organisers and concluded his speech with inclusive greetings: “Jai Hind, Jai Karnataka, Jai Hindu, Jai Musalman.”
Prominent political figures including Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, Housing Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, Energy Minister K.J. George, Chief Minister’s Political Secretary Nasir Ahmed, and MLA N.A. Haris were also present. However, Home Minister G. Parameshwara, who was listed among the invitees, was absent from the event.

Tarique Rahman sworn in as new Prime Minister of Bangladesh
Dhaka (PTI): Tarique Rahman was sworn in as the new Prime Minister of Bangladesh on Tuesday, days after leading his party to a forceful victory in the crucial general elections.
President Mohammed Shahabuddin administered the oath of office to 60-year-old Rahman at the South Plaza of the Jatiya Sangsad instead of Bangabhaban, in a departure from a long-standing tradition.
Earlier in the day, Rahman was elected as leader of the parliamentary party by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party lawmakers.
Rahman's BNP has bagged 209 out of 297 seats, while right-wing Jamaat-e-Islami secured 68 seats in the 13th Parliamentary elections. Deposed premier Sheikh Hasina's Awami League was barred from contesting polls.
