Statements made by Al-Qaeda chief on hijab row lend credence to the suspicion that ‘unseen hands’ were working to provoke youngsters in the state, Karnataka home minister Araga Jnanendra said on Wednesday.

In an 8.43-minute video clip released by As-Sahab,the official media wing of terror outfit Al-Qaeda, chief Ayman Al-Zawahiri showered praises on Karnataka college student Muskan Khan for shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ slogans to counter a group of boys who were chanting ‘Jai Shree Ram’ in her college early February.

Muskan’s actions were seen as one of the flashpoints of the hijab controversy.

We have been saying this from the beginning, and the High Court too during the hijab verdict had suggested the possibility of some unseen hands behind the hijab row.

Now it is proved, because Al-Qaeda people are now releasing videos,Jnanendra said, in response to a question on Zawahiri praising Muskaan.

How things are happening, what is the link. All these things are being looked into by the police,they will find out,” he added.

Jnanendra said that intelligence agencies were now investigating further to prove the link and that the Union and state home departments were monitoring the developments.

Condemning the statement by a terror group about the internal matters,higher education minister C N Ashwath Narayan said,Action will be taken against organisations and people linked to them”.

Meanwhile,distancing himself from the video statement,Muskan’s father termed the comments of the terror outfit’s leader as “wrong” and said he and his family were living peacefully in India.

Noting that such incidents are disturbing the peace,he said the police and state government can initiate an inquiry to ascertain the truth.

We don’t know anything about it (video),we don’t know who he is.I saw him today for the first time. He has said something in Arabic.We are all living here with love and trust like brothers,” Mohammad Hussain Khan told reporters in response to a question on Zawahiri’s video.

Queried on Zawahiri praising Muskan, he said, “People say whatever they want,this is unnecessarily causing trouble.

We are living peacefully in our country.We don’t want him to talk about us,as he is not related to us,it is wrong. It is an attempt to create division among us.”

In the video, Al-Zawahiri stated that Indian Muslims should “react to this oppression”.

We must shake off the delusions that confound us.We must stop being deceived by the mirage of the pagan Hindu democracy of India,which,to begin with,was never more than a tool to oppress Muslims,” said Zawahiri.

The hijab controversy first started at a government school in the Udupi district when six students were barred from entering classrooms because of wearing hijab.

A petition was then filed in the Karnataka high court, challenging the Udupi Government PU College’s decision.

A full bench, headed by chief justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, on March 15 held that Quran does not mandate the wearing of hijab for Muslim women and that the attire “at the most is a means to gain access to public places” and a “measure of social security”, but “not a religious end in itself” in its 129-page judgment.

A special programme for development of lakes in Kolar would be launched under the leadership of Modi,Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said.

Speaking to media persons in New Delhi Bommai said,Prime Minister Modi addressed the party leaders and booth level workers as part of BJP’s Foundation Day celebrations.

She informed me that the process is in its final stage.The issue of including 3 Energy department projects in the Green Corridor too are coming before the Finance ministry for approval.
The minister has responded positively to the request,Bommai said.

She has assured that she would convene a special meeting to address the issues related to Central projects which need to be taken up through the banks.

Kochi :The DYFI District Conference will be held from April 21 to 23 in Angamaly.DYFI District Secretary A A Anshad opens his mind to the Country and Politics News about the district conference to be held after the major crises, including the Corona.

How to look at the K Rail controversy

K Rail should not be seen as a controversy.The truth is that the second Pinarayi government is implementing the plan formulated during the Oommen Chandy government.

The implementation of corridor projects outside India, including the Metro and Speed ​​Train,is a political ploy by its leaders going to that country to mock India and Kerala while trying to stop the implementation of this project here.People who criticize now will take this project to heart tomorrow.

The most controversial issue right now is land acquisition.This is a matter of great concern to a section of the people of Kerala and how to overcome it.

When land is acquired for a project, 10 per cent of the land price is currently paid.That is the Law.

This is causing great loss to the common man. But the Pinarayi government brought in another law to make up for this loss.

The base price of the existing land has been increased tenfold.This is some what comforting.

Regarding surveys carried out inside the house without informing the homeowners

The aerial survey is now underway.The houses, buildings,businesses,churches,mosques and temples passing through this aerial survey need to be marked with the survey stone to know if they are included in the survey and the extent of the damage.

This will be followed by a social impact study.It is only after this study that the loss will be ascertained and people will be relocated only after paying the full loss declared by the government.

On the contrary,all propaganda is wrong.The project will move forward only after fully resolving the concerns of the people.

Kochi has now become a hub of intoxication. How do you see this ?

That is very true.A section of young people today are addicted to drugs.And many young people join in, knowingly or unknowingly.

DYFI has a clear position on this.If any party worker is involved in drug dealing or its activities, that person will be out of the movement. Anti-drug awareness,classes,seminars and counseling are being conducted not only in colleges and schools but also in other areas and DYFI has decided to go even further.That is the goal of drug-free youth.

What can DYFI do to bring the tribal community into the mainstream?

During the Corona period,DYFI was able to help the adivasi community by delivering food and clothing to the Kuttampuzha and tribes areas near Kothamangalam,my place of residence,as well as by bringing TV and other materials to every home for the tribes children to study.

Some members of the CPI (M) and DYFI are showing undesirable tendencies.Will this not affect the party and the movement?

Sure,The movement will not tolerate such tendencies. Neither the DYFI nor the CPI (M) has a policy to protect criminals.When Rajmohan Unnithan and a woman were caught in a bad situation here, the Congress leadership protected them.

As well as the solar case,There is no doubt that if any member makes such tendencies they will be out of the movement.

At present the Congress is in a state of disarray in India and Kerala.Youth Congress: Inactive.In the meantime,will SDPI become an alternative to DYFI?

It is a misconception.Such an extremist movement cannot set foot on this soil.DYFI is a secular values ​​movement.

You see,the BJP has raised the issue of hijab in Karnataka on a large scale.That was in view of the UP elections.

The Congress countered this extremist Hindu approach of the BJP with its soft Hindutva.At the same time, DYFI has always had a position.

The movement is committed to upholding secular values ​​and upholding the will of the people.

Is there an assessment that the second Pinarayi government is a failure?

What was the situation that led to the return of the first Pinarayi government to power?It is with the operational achievements of the government.

What you are saying now is related to the K rail issue.As I said earlier,any project can be implemented only by resolving the concerns and difficulties of the public.

It is not up to the government to evaluate now, not in the last days of the regime, you will allow the government to function first.

*What is the motto raised by DYFI at this conference?

Drug-free youth.Uphold secular values ​​and development of the country.Kerala ranks high on the world map he said in his statement.

BENGALURU: Mosques in Karnataka have started receiving notices from the police to use their loudspeakers within the permissible decibel levels.

The move comes after some right-wing outfits launched a campaign demanding shutting down of such loudspeakers, saying they caused disturbance for people living in surrounding areas.

In Bengaluru alone, about 250 mosques have received such notices and the mosque authorities have started installing devices that keeps the sound within the permissible level, sources said.

The Karnataka Director General of Police (DGP) Praveen Sood has directed all the police commissioners, inspectors general of police and the superintendents of police to check violation of noise pollution rules by ‘religious institutions’, pubs, night clubs and other institutions and at functions.

Some outfits had submitted memoranda to various police officers on Tuesday requesting them to check the “misuse” of loudspeakers from mosques which, they alleged, has been going on even in the silent zones such as hospitals, important government offices, schools and colleges.

The outfits alleged that the blaring loudspeakers of mosques disturb sleep in the morning causing discomfort to students, patients, elderly people and those who work at night.

Following the direction from the DGP, the Bengaluru police started issuing notices to the mosques.

Khateeb-o-Imam of Jama Masjid in Bengaluru, Maqsood Imran said the mosques in Bengaluru have started installing devices on their loudspeakers after the Bengaluru city police served them notices.

“Over 200 to 250 mosques in Bengaluru have received the notice. We have been told to maintain the sound level. They have said that the directions issued by the Supreme Court need to be adhered to and if the orders are not followed then action will be initiated,” the Imam told PTI.

He added that the mosque authorities have started fitting the device with the amplifier, which ensures that the sound does not cross the permissible level.

“We also want to ensure that the Supreme Court order is followed. That’s why we have readied the device and started fixing it in all the mosques. That device has already been installed in our Jama Masjid,” he said.

BENGALURU: Leader of the terror outfit al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, praising the second-year BCom student Muskaan Khan for chanting ‘Allah-hu-Akbar’ in reply to saffron-clad male students chanting ‘Jai Sri Ram’ at her college in Mandya as she entered wearing a hijab in February, has evoked strong reactions from political sections, including Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra saying it is a vindication of their suspicions of an “unseen hand” behind the “conspiracy” of blowing the hjijab row out of proportion.But the standout reaction came from Muskaan’s father Mohammed Hussain, who, without mincing words, distanced his daughter, himself and his family from the al-Qaeda leader singing praises of Muskaan.

He said that he showed the video to his daughter and told her it was wrong and reminded her that she was still a student. “She wants to study,” he added. In the video, al-Zawahiri says Muskaan’s defiance of saffron-clad men had emboldened the spirit of jihad and awakened the Muslim community.  

In the end, al-Zawahiri adds that the incident inspired him to write a poem which he recited and asked Muskaan to accept it as a gift of words from him.Meanwhile, Araga Jnanendra said, “This is evidence of what we have been saying right from the start that there are ‘unseen hands’ that are part of the conspiracy. It is not normal for mere children to behave this way which is what the courts also maintained. The police have been asked to trace from where that video originated and the links.’’

Incidentally, sources in the security establishment said that after the video surfaced,  a vigil is being maintained on Muskaan’s house in Mandya.Higher Education Minister Dr CN Ashwath Narayan expressed displeasure about a terror outfit — blamed for the 9-11 US bombings and several other attacks around the world — speaking about incidents in Karnataka and India, and said suitable legal action will be taken against them.

Former Union minister and ex-MLC CM Ibrahim, who recently joined JDS, said al-Qaeda is in no way related to Karnataka or India, and Muskaan is not aware of that outfit. “This video is created to mislead people,” he added.He said Hindus and Mulsims have lived together for centuries despite attempts to divide them. But harmony has always emerged on top in the land of Basaveshwara and the saints.

Muskaan khan to shift college?
After the hijab row, Muskaan Khan has not attended classes and did not even face the exams. While her father confirmed that his daughter had not attended the exams, sources in the college said that she has sought a no-objection certificate and transfer certificate to shift to another college.
