No action taken on cow slaughter: Right-wing groups
Shivamogga: Right-wing organisations in Shivamogga accused the Shivamogga district police of laxity in curbing cow slaughter. They pointed to a cow carcass found near Bhadra River bridge in Kagehalla, Bhadravathi taluk. They claimed that despite informing Bhadravati DySP, Shivamogga SP, and IGP of the eastern zone about an illegal cow slaughter operation, no action was taken. The organisations also said that slaughterhouse waste was disposed of in the Bhadra River. Speaking to TOI, Hindu Jagaran Vedike leader Devaraj Aralihalli said that political interference has prevented the filing of complaints against cow slaughterers in Bhadravati. He claimed that numerous cows are killed annually, particularly before Muslim festivals, with corrupt politicians pressuring police to avoid enforcing laws, he blamed. Shivamogga SP GK Mitun Kumar rejected the allegations. He said that police previously registered cases and made arrests in Bhadravathi. On June 7, Shiralakoppa police station's PSI TB Prashanth Kumar rescued 48 cows, which were subsequently relocated to Mahaveer Goshala in Shivamogga and Hangal taluk's Goshala. Additionally, authorities rescued six cows in the Sulebailu area, while Holehonnur police pursued suspects and seized beef. These cases were registered on the previous Saturday and Sunday during the festival, cops said.

Are Muslims A Threat To Japan? Surge In Population Altering...Protest Erupt Over...Identity Crisis Looms...
In Indian culture, guests are considered deities. In Japan, the word Omotenashi is used for guests, meaning to welcome them with warmth and respect. However, in Japan today, public anger against Muslims, particularly Kurdish immigrants, is evident on the streets. This means a major campaign against Muslims is currently underway in Japan. The images you're seeing are from Japan's Saitama Prefecture. Thousands of people, carrying Japanese flags, have taken to the streets against Kurds. We want to clarify that Kurds are not native to Japan; they are people from Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, mostly Sunni Muslims. When persecution against Kurds increased in these countries, Japan showed humanitarianism by granting them visa exemptions. Following this, the Kurdish population in Kawaguchi and Warabi in Southern Saitama continuously grew. The Kawaguchi and Warabi areas effectively became a "mini-Kurdistan." As the population grew, the fear of Kurds in these areas also increased, leading peace-loving native Japanese people to take to the streets to protect their homeland. Protests demanding the expulsion of Sunni Kurds from Japan have been ongoing since 2023, fueled by years of pent-up anger. 'रिश्तों के बंधन' में 'भरोसे के कत्ल' का विश्लेषण ट्रंप राज में जलते अमेरिकी झंडे का DNA टेस्ट देखिए #DNA LIVE Rahul Sinha के साथ#ZeeLive #ZeeNews #DNAWithRahulSinha #rajaraghuvanshi #DonaldTrump #LosAngeles @RahulSinhaTV — Zee News (@ZeeNews) June 9, 2025 In July 2023, a Kurd murdered two Japanese people. In January 2024, some Kurdish individuals were accused of sexually assaulting a Japanese woman. One suspect in this case was later accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl. In September 2024, an unlicensed Kurdish driver ran over and killed two Japanese motorcyclists. In 2023, 69 Kurds were arrested in Japan for criminal offenses, representing 6% of all foreigners arrested for crimes. This means 6 out of every 100 criminals were found to be Kurdish. The increasing involvement of Kurds in crime has exhausted the patience of Japanese people, leading to calls for their expulsion from Japan. The root of native Japanese anger is not just crime, but also an anxiety about preserving their cultural identity. In 2005, the Muslim population in Japan was 110,000. By 2023, the Muslim population had grown to 350,000. In 18 years, the Muslim population in Japan has tripled. We also want to mention that about 48% of Japan's population follows Shintoism, which is Japan's indigenous religion. Around 46% follow Buddhism, and the remaining 5% follow other religions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Hinduism. Although the number of Muslims in Japan's total population is small, the rapid growth of the Muslim population has increased concerns among native Japanese about their culture.

Temple, mosque encroachments cleared voluntarily for Sambhal road expansion project
Bareilly: A mosque and a temple built illegally along Bahjoi road near Azizpur Asadpur village in the Hayat Nagar police station area in Sambhal were voluntarily dismantled by members of both communities on Monday, a month after demolition notices were issued by the administration for a road widening project. Officials said this clearance was part of a wider anti-encroachment drive in the region, with support from the public works department (PWD). On one side of the road was an unregistered shrine and mosque, and directly opposite stood the Dharmkoop Temple, part of which also extended onto PWD land. In a show of civic cooperation, locals from both communities took down the structures themselves, assisted by bulldozers, under official supervision. Sambhal SDM Vandana Mishra and local police remained present throughout the operation to ensure security. "The shrine was given a notice by the PWD as it was obstructing the road, and people are now voluntarily removing the structure," Mishra said. A video of the voluntary demolition, shared widely on social media, showed members of both communities working side by side to remove the encroachments. An official involved in the drive said, "Road widening work is currently underway in Sambhal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Capital Gains Exemptions for Seniors SmartAsset Learn More Undo About a month ago, Mishra visited the stretch near Azizpur Asadpur village and inspected both structures. It was found that the mosque/shrine was built on PWD land, and the front part of the temple also fell within PWD jurisdiction. After a land survey confirmed the encroachments, notices were issued to both sides." On Monday, members of the Muslim community began removing the encroached shrine and mosque. Aqeel Ahmed, the caretaker, said, "This is the shrine of Yakub Ali Shah and technically it is within the limits of Azizpur village. The shrine is in the front and the mosque is behind it. Officials instructed us to dismantle it ourselves, as road construction would require the entire front portion to be removed. Measurements were already taken by officials, who also said that some part of the temple would be razed. " Members of the Hindu community also took down a section of the Dharmkoop Temple that was identified as an encroachment. Mahavir Prasad, the caretaker, said, "I have been associated with the temple for 40 years. A notice was served to us, so we are dismantling it ourselves. A small portion, including an overhang and some steps, falls within the encroachment. This is an ancient temple, and a five-day fair is held here during Maha Shivaratri. There's also an ancient banyan tree. However, the shrine and mosque opposite our temple are completely illegal, lacking any registration."
