Mangalore Aug 26: Branding and demoralizing a particular community with a terrorist activity tag, by citing a single example should be stopped, firmly declared the Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD), president K M Sharief here at the Town Hall, on Saturday, August 25. Sharief was inaugurating a campaign called “Terrorism Exposed’, which is being undertaken as part of a state wide campaign organized by the KFD.
The underlying objective of the campaign is to demonstrate to the general public, how the “communal and fascist forces” in the country are maligning the Muslim community as a whole, in the name of terrorism and using it as a prime strategy in their anti-community propaganda.
As part of this awareness campaign silent protests will be held at Madikeri and Udupi on August 26, Mysore on August 27, Ramanagaram and Tumkur on August 29 and Puttur and Belthangady on August 30.
The campaign which started of from Town Hall is going to end in Bangalore on August 31. Lecturer Uday Kumar Irvathur of the University College, Mangalore, and convener Rafiuddin, New Age India Forum, delivered the key note lectures at the inaugural function here. The KFD president K.M. Sharief, presided over the function.
The president of KFD Sharief as part of his inaugural address criticized the press, stating that walls are being raised between the communities through biased reports made by the modern media. Allegations are unnecessarily made against the Muslims before unearthing the truth about any incident, he declared visibly upset.
Sharief even warned that if the decision of the state coalition government to drop some cases against Bajarang Dal becomes a reality KFD, will take its protest to the streets.
