Mangalore, May 1: State president of Karnataka Muslim Muttahida Mahaz (Karnataka Muslim Union), Masood Abdul Qadar, termed cattle theft as an anti-religious activity. Asserting that Muslims are strongly against this act, he said instructions will soon be issued to all the Jamaaths in the state to oppose this activity without exception.
He was speaking to media persons during his visit to Krishnapura near here to hand over a preliminary compensation of one lac rupees to the family of Kabeer, who was killed in firing by Anti Naxal Force personnel. Karnataka Muslim Muttahida Mahaz had organized this programme, and the cheque was presented to Kabeer’s father in the presence of MLA, B A Mohiuddin Bava.
‘All the religions in the world preach human values. We have to view everything with a humane touch. Our organization only picks up issues of importance, and we have taken the issue of Kabeer’s killing on priority as it happens to an issue of state-level importance,’ Qadar explained.
In his address, MLA, B A Mohiuddin Bava, noted that Islam is against the practice of consuming beef produced out of stolen cattle. He added that the policemen have been instructed to strictly act against cattle thieves. He added that a proposal to build a house for the family of Kabeer with donations from kind-hearted people is under consideration.
