Delegation says Karnataka is becoming a hot bed for communal animosity
MANGALORE: The Karnataka State Committee of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has urged Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy to take the lead in spreading the message of unity and communal harmony. A delegation from IUML led by C. Ahmad Jamal, secretary, called on Mr. Kumaraswamy during his visit here on Saturday.
Stating that Karnataka is becoming a hot bed of communal hatred, the delegation said Hindus and Muslims clash over trivial reasons, denting the unity and integrity of the State. Stating that members of the Muslim community are socially, educationally and economically backward in Karnataka, IUML said they have not benefited from the reservation policy of the State. The delegation urged Mr. Kumaraswamy to implement the recommendations of the report submitted by the R.H. Godpal Committee on January 7, 1985. Some of the recommendations have major implications for members of minority communities, the delegation said and urged Mr. Kumaraswamy to provide benefits to Muslims.
Stating that uroos is being held regularly at Baba Budangiri in Chikmagalur district for ages, the delegation urged the Chief Minister to uphold the sanctity of the place and provide government support to the uroos.
