Mangaluru, Sep 6: “Few like minded organizations have come forward to hold a unique programme ‘United for a better Mangaluru’ on Friday September 9 at 4 pm in Town Hall,” said Saif Sulthan, founder of Hope foundation.

He was addressing press persons at the premises of Hotel Woodlands here on Tuesday September 6.

“Our district is recognized as cultured and intellectual district in national and international level. But unfortunately in recent past, district is gaining a bad name which is a challenge to all of us.”

“Faith and love among people and communities are declining. Hatred and disturbance are growing among people. This is a great concern for all peace loving citizens. Hence few like minded organizations came forward and held a serious discussion on this issue to protect social environment and human values in district. The forthcoming programme will foster love and faith among different caste, language, culture, party, and group.”

“In coming days, we will be observing ‘United for a better Belthangady’, ‘United for a better Sullia’ and ‘United for a better Puttur’,” he added.

Kemaru Math Shri Esha Vittaldasa Swamiji, Chokka Bettu Moideen Juma Masjid Katheeb Maulana Abdul Aziz Dharami, MK Nirmal Kumar senior Jain Scholar, Bhai Parveen Singh of Mangalore Gurudwara, Thokottu Masjid Kathib Mohammed Kunhi, Director of Jeppu Saint Joseph Institution Fr Oniel D' Souza, Vijayapura AFRAN President Maulana Basheer Ahammed Umari, Dr Hanibal Kabral will be prominent speakers on the occasion.

DCP Sanjeev Patil will be present for the programme.

Mangaluru Police Commissioner Chandrasekar will address in the valedictory ceremony.

Shashiraj Shetty Kolambe, Vasudev Bolar, Walter Maben President of Karnataka Missions Network, Suresh Bhat Bakrabail, Anil Fermai and others were present.

The event will be jointly organized by Ahindha, Dakshina Kannada district, Al Haq Foundation, Buntara/Nadavara Mathr Sangha, Dalit Sangharsha Samiti, Hidayah Foundation, Highland Islamic Forum, Hope Foundation, Indian Catholics Youth Movement, Jain Samiti, Mangaluru, Karnataka Christian Educational Society, Karnataka Komu Souhardha Vedike, Karnataka Missions Network, KKMA - Karnataka Branch, M Friends, Mogaveera Mahajana Sangha, Muslim Lekhakara Sangha, Sri Guru Singh Sabha Society, Talent Research Foundation and Yuva Vahini Kendra Samiti.

    Excellent initiative. Instead of judging people there let us join them. We have a responsibility for the future of the city. Let us bring peace where there is hate and strife. Congrats to the great efforts.

    Peaceful coexistence of all communities is important by any means. All people should cooperate and nip the intolerance and troubles in the bud.

    People who are interested in this regard and wish to strengthen communal harmony should not be from any known communal/hate groups like Komu Sauhardha Vedike etc., because people have seen their true faces at times.Those who are interested to be in the news also should be kept out of the ambit.Let the initiative be one non political....

    A big question. Few so called leaders in dias are not having any permanent incom, job or any business. Is this an opportunity to make ur living with collecting fund.

    Literally few unemployed are buzy in creating troubles in both way.

    This is a nice way to make living.. so easy. Ull get fund smoothly by presenting colourful programmes.

    Work hard, make ur living by own, take care of your family by your own . "Manege maari, oorige upakaari"

    Jai hind

    Appreciate the effort. we, Mangaloreans need to set an example for others. We need to unite and work towards smart city. let us love each other and live for one another. Nothing is impossible. It is nothing but the ego clash and the rivalry created by the politicians in order to retain their power and chair spoils the environment. Let us stay united and work towards a better city for better living and make a way for peaceful and joyful living for the next generation.

    May God bless you and your organization to bring awareness and wisdom in the society to live with good understanding, love for each other and respect for each others religious faith.
    United we stand divided we fall and disintegrate.
    please work peace & harmony. Let Mangalore be a peaceful place.
    Some political leaders speak in terms only Hindutva and the duty of Hindu youth. Youth from all communities should join hands united.

    Communal Harmony in Mangalore is not a new idea. There was a group of people who worked together some decades ago under the leadership of Dr. Habib Rehman. Late Father Ronnie Prabhu was a prominent member of the group.

    I must congratulate the present leaders on their excellent initiative to revive the idea of communal harmony and imbibe the present generation with the concept of living peacefully.

    None of the religions preach hatred and therefore in the present world of today leaders like these who have come forward to get people together should be encouraged and supported. I am glad that Our present Police Commissioner has accepted to be among the peace loving people to foster the idea of living peacefully together.

    In this world which is divided because of various reasons one should take into consideration the fact that none of the leaders of the religions spoke or fostered hate of any kind. Looking back one can perceive the concepts of Allah, Rama, Christ, Budda, Mahavir. All of them preached and practiced the VIRTUE OF PEACEFUL LIVING.

    I join scores of people in congratulating the leaders of this group and wish them every success in their mission. May this idea of PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE PREVAIL AND SPREAD.

    This is a very good initiative by the secular minded organizations for harmony in the society. Unity in Diversity is our Strength. Don't allow the extremists destroy it. Let us all 'live and let live' with love and inter dependent because "madhab nahi sikaata aapsme baid karna" Jai Hind.

    Mr ranjith, with all due respect you are too much irritated with this movement ..
    What worries you so much if we get peace in mangalore.
    Totally disgusting to see your negative comments rather than supporting for a better mangalore. please think positive and support positive moves even your ideology is against it.
    We need prosperity and developments in mangalore and not hatredness at all.

    no need to blame anybody. i bet things never become normal in india or nor in the world hereafter. for that people should recognise all religions equal and moreover respect the same. where ever they lives keeping there religion aside and to be given more prominence to national interest to unite country.

    The attempt may be a result of fall out of initiative by RSS people extended to Christian religious leaders on the occasion of Ganesh Chathurthi at Sangha Nikethan.....
    My personal wish that any member from Komu Sauhardha Vedika should not be included in the programme as we know their birth itself was based on hatred......So better start on good and free fair motives without bias intention.

    Looklike guys are fed up with fighting. Divide conquer doesnt work these days now unite and conquer. Everything start with friendship and after a while people get bored and sick and bigger picutre sweetness to sour to bitterness.... then again once tired of that back to bsics again. Life is vicious cycle. But time being guys reap the benefits of unity. Good luck.
