Ramadan to start from March 2nd as crescent moon not sighted
Bengaluru: The holy month of Ramadan will begin on March 2, as the crescent moon was not sighted on Friday, announced Maulana Maqsood Imran Rashadi, convener of the Central moon committee of Karnataka.
The decision was made during a meeting held at the State Wakf Board headquarters (Darul Auqaf) on Cunningham Road on Friday evening.
The meeting, chaired by Ameer Shariat Maulana Sagheer Ahmed Khan Rashadi, reviewed information about moon sightings from various states across the country, including Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Delhi, and all districts within Karnataka. No reports of the moon being sighted were received from any of these regions.
As a result, Taraweeh prayers will commence on Saturday, and the first fast of Ramadan will be observed on Sunday, March 2, said Maulana Maqsood Imran.
The meeting was attended by prominent religious scholars, including Mufti Iftikhar Ahmed Qasmi, Maulana Ejaz Ahmed Nadvi, Maulana Abdul Qadir Wajid, Maulana Syed Manzoor Raza Abidi, and Maulana Qari Zulfiqar Raza Noori, among others.

Congress promotes ‘vote chori’ campaign through Instagram video featuring Kay Kay Menon

New Delhi: The Congress party, which recently launched its “Vote Chori” (vote theft) campaign demanding transparency in voter rolls, has released a promotional video on Instagram featuring actor Kay Kay Menon.
The video was shared with the caption: “Himmat Singh kuch keh rahe hain, jaldi se kar aao! Band karo”, translated as “Himmat Singh is saying something, go and do it quickly! Stop it.” It was followed by instructions to join the campaign: “To join the campaign — click the link in the bio or give a missed call to 9650003420.”
Himmat Singh is the name of the intelligence officer character portrayed by Kay Kay Menon in the Hotstar Specials series Special Ops.
The “Vote Chori” campaign, led by Congress Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, alleges large-scale manipulation in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, particularly in Karnataka’s Bangalore Central constituency, through fake voter entries, duplicate names, and invalid addresses. The campaign portal, votechori.in, enables citizens to access alleged evidence, report voter list discrepancies, and receive a digital certificate supporting the demand for machine-readable digital voter rolls.
The Election Commission has rejected the allegations as “false and misleading” and has asked Gandhi to either provide a signed declaration with supporting evidence under the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, or issue a public apology. The BJP has described the campaign as a political stunt.
