BJP minority wing opposes Simbu-starrer Maanaadu
The Hindu
It seeks the intervention of Chief Minister
The recently released Tamil movie Maanaadu, starring Simbu showed the Muslim community in bad light as if its members were law violators and indulged in illegal activities, said M. Syed Ibrahim, national secretary of BJP’s Minority Morcha, here on Saturday.
Speaking to reporters, he said cinema, which was considered as a powerful medium, should disseminate good and positive messages to society. By portraying a minority community members as fundamentalists, this kind of movies only made Muslims live in an insecure environment.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
