‘11 MLAs for 15% Muslims, over 100 MLAs for 16% Lingayats in Karnataka’

January 14, 2016

Mangaluru, Jan 14: Opining that the lack of encouragement and training is hindering the growth of talented Muslim youths, Abdul Riyaz Khan, former chairman of Chairman of Karnataka Board of Wakf, said that collective effort from the community is necessary to address this shortcoming.

He was speaking at the seventh annual day celebration of Melkar Women’s PU and Degree College in Bantwal taluk on Wednesday.

Lamenting over the lack of political representation of Muslims in Karnataka, he said that even though Muslims have 15% share in the total population of the state, only eleven Muslim representatives are there in the current assembly.

On the other hand, Lingayats, who comprise of 16 to 17 per cent of total population in the state, have around 100 representatives in the assembly, he said.

Among the 1.10 lakh advocates only 8,000 are from Muslim community. Of this, only 1,200 Muslims are working and others only possessed degrees. Similarly, among 1400 women advocates of the state, only 300 are from Muslim community and most of them are not working, he revealed.

The Karnataka high court has only one Muslim judge. In past 28 years the state did not witness even a single district judge from Muslim community. Of the over 2,800 judges in Karnataka only 20 are Muslims, he said adding that in civil service, the representation of Muslims is less than that of SC and ST.

He called upon the talented Muslims to give more priority to administrative and legal fields over medical and technical fields. “We need more advocates, judges, IAS and IPS officer than doctors and engineers,” he said.

Stating that education is a key for the development of Muslims, he applauded the contribution of Melkar women’s college towards education. The college, which started with 40 students in 2009 now has 700 students.

Talent Research Foundation founder Abdul Rauf Puthige, Hidyah Foundation founder HK Khasim Ahmed, KKMA representative SM Farooq, Chairman of the college SM Rashid Haji were present among others.

Prizes were distributed among students on the occasion. PU student Fathima Begum recited Quran. Zuhaira presented a song. B.Com student Mariyam Aabida delivered welcome address. Nashat proposed vote of thanks. B.Com student Naushina Banu compered the programme.

Congratulations Melkar Women’s PU and Degree College for their Annual Day & a successful event.
We need to bring about unity within all the religions.
We should focus on educating our youth & children to become the leaders of tomorrow.

1 muslim MLA is equal to 100 vokkaligas MLAs. That is why they are scared to give many seats....

Blaming others no use. Our community should take interest to address this major issue by encouraging and supporting the students to join the civil service courses. Giving speech and words do not solve this issue. Congratulation Melkar Womes College management for imparting quality education for the rural female students.

The main problems here not only from Government side!! Muslims have to blame for this!! In Muslims community you can find enough qualified candidates for all those field which mentioned above, but Muslims men after graduating immediately applying for Gulf country, ladies they even for the secure job are not allowed to join, I discuss this matter with many my Muslim friends their opinion same. Muslim organization should bring awareness among their community in this matter, encourage ladies to do the job where they feel safe.

Tumakuru, Jan 8: RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat stoked controversy on Wednesday by stating that 'Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is full of traitors'.

He was addressing the media after taking part in a pro-CAA rally organised by National Citizens Forum near the office of the deputy commissioner of the district here.

Bhat said, “JNU is full of traitors. Congress and communist parties have been generating anti-nationals there. But there is no need to close the university down. Modi government will handle it.”

“Nationalism should be infused among the students there through love and trust. They should be made to realize what the truth is,” he said.

Bengaluru, Apr 13: Karnataka chief minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday said the COVID-19 situation has thrown the state into a deep financial trouble and there is a need to to find ways to overcome the present crisis, as he announced certain measures aimed at resource mobalisation.

He said the state government was awaiting guidelines from the Centre regarding the implementation of lockdown during the next two weeks, and noted that discussions were on regarding relaxations on the sale of liquor and the decision will be taken after April 14.

Yediyurappa on Monday held a meeting with officials of various departments along with his cabinet colleagues and the chief secretary.

"The possible situation once the lockdown is released, was widely discussed in the meeting. Discussion was also held about the financial situation of the state government and how to mobilise resources. Many suggestions were given and it was decided to implement those suggestions," the Chief Minister said.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, he said, "...the COVID-19 situation has thrown our state into deep financial trouble and there is a need to to find ways to overcome present financial crisis."

Yediyurappa said it was decided to speed up the disposal of cases related to regularisation of unauthorised constructions which are pending before the High Court and Supreme Court, during the meeting.

"If the court decides the matter, thousands of people who own unauthorised houses will be relieved," he said, adding that this will also help government in mobilising resources for fund starved development works.

He said in addition to this the government is planning to auction more than 12,000 corner sites lying idle in Bengaluru, and it was also decided to allow auction of corner and vacant sites in respective urban development authorities across the state.

"By auction of corner sites in Bengaluru, we plan to mobalise about Rs 14,000-15,000 crore. BDA is preparing for it, only if we get good market value we will sell or else no," he added.

It was also decided to amend the law governing permission to allow sites in private and co-operative housing societies, the Chief Minister further said, adding that hundreds of societies were waiting for approval from government for releasing the sites.

Yediyurappa said it was decided to use Rs 1,000 crore available in Rajiv Gandhi Health University to upgrade medical college hospitals.

It was also decided to distribute free milk to slums and poor for one more week, the Chief Minister said while appealing to sugar factory owners to clear the pending payment to the tune of Rs 2,834 crore to farmers in 11 districts.

The government has also released Rs 45 crore compensation for the loss of paddy crop in Raichur and Koppal District due to hailstorm based on report submitted by Deputy Commissioners, he added.

Responding to a question, Yediyurappa said, still no guidelines have come from the Centre on lockdown implementation for next two weeks, we are waiting for it.

Once the guidelines come it will help us to speed up the process of lockdown, and also relaxations if any.

Asked what plans does the government have if states are asked to decide on relaxation, he said, already Prime Minister has said that guidelines will be given, if they say on certain matters states can take decision, we will decide on what needs to be done to improve the state's economy.

To a question on relaxation on sale of liquor through Mysore Sales International Ltd (MSIL) outlets, he said, discussions are on, after April 14, we will take decision in this regard.
