BJP team to visit Dakshina Kannada to assess recent communal incidents
Mangaluru: A BJP delegation will visit Dakshina Kannada on Monday to gather information on murders of Suhas Shetty, Abdul Rahiman, and a series of killings reported in the past. The aim is to understand the backgrounds and find reasons for these incidents. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As a responsible party, the BJP team, led by BJP state president BY Vijayendra, opposition leader R Ashoka, and others, is visiting the district to find solutions and restore peace in the region, said BJP MLC CT Ravi. He said on Saturday that govt should find the roots of all clashes. "There is a need for peace in the district, and Congress leaders have put forth the same demand. Meanwhile, police is also taking measures in this direction. As far as I know, illegal cow transportation, cow slaughter, love jihad, and religious conversion are the reasons for all communal hatred. Hence, govt should put an end to all these illegal activities to preserve harmony in the district," said Ravi. Individuals involved in cow slaughter violate constitutional principles, yet authorities maintain equal treatment towards both perpetrators and those who stand against such acts. Ravi urged the police and govt to destroy the organised ecosystem that promotes love jihad, due to which several families have suffered. While PM Narendra Modi has a vision to make India a developed nation by 2047, there are some organisations like SIMI, PFI, and Indian Mujahideen working with the agenda for Islamisation of the nation. The major sources of funding for all illegal activities are ganja, drugs, betting, illegal mining, and sand trade, Ravi said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Ravi advocated for prohibiting religious texts that promote jihad and destruction of 'kafirs'. He emphasised that implementing restrictions on such religious literature would foster harmony. He also criticised the Congress for not visiting the house of Suhas Shetty. "The Congress govt is trying to frame Hindutva leaders in the Abdul Rahiman murder case," he alleged. On allegations that CM Siddaramaiah chose to dine at a hotel even after being informed of multiple deaths due to the stampede, Ravi said if it was true, even God will not forgive our CM. "If it is true, he has no right to continue as the chief minister," he added.

France pushes to ban hijab for girls under 15 in public
French President Emmanuel Macron's party has proposed a controversial ban on the headscarf for minors under 15, reigniting debate over secularism, religious freedom, and children's rights. French President Emmanuel Macron's political party wants to ban minors under 15 from wearing the Muslim headscarf in public, with the government set the review a report on the spread of "political Islamism" in France. Macron will meet with senior officials today to discuss a report that describes the Muslim Brotherhood as a "threat to national cohesion" in France, warning it risks undermining "the fabric of society and republican institutions". The ban proposed by the Renaissance party would forbid "minors under 15 from wearing the veil in public spaces," phrasing that in France generally means places outside the home like the street, cafes, parks and stores. It added the hijab "seriously undermines gender equality and the protection of children". The party, led by former prime minister Gabriel Attal, also wants to introduce a "criminal offence for coercion against parents who force their underage daughters to wear the veil". Renaissance is a minority force in the French parliament and works in a minority government alongside a traditional right-wing party. Critics see the headscarf worn by some Muslim women as a symbol of creeping Islamisation after deadly jihadist attacks in France, while others say they are just practising their religion and should wear what they want. Jordan Bardella, leader of France's far-right National Rally (RN), accused Attal of making a "U-turn" on the issue, sharing a video on his social media from a 2022 debate in which the former prime minister warned against the potential persecution of veiled women under a Marine Le Pen presidency. Le Pen had during her unsuccessful 2022 presidential campaign evoked banning the wearing of the hijab by everyone in all public spaces in France. Under current French legislation, civil servants, teachers and pupils cannot wear any obvious religious symbols such as a Christian cross, Jewish kippa, Sikh turban or Muslim hijab in government buildings, which includes public schools. The government is also pushing for a new law to ban the headscarf in domestic sports competitions, a move critics of the law argue would be just the latest rule discriminating against visibly Muslim women. France and Germany have the biggest Muslim populations among European Union countries.
