April 22, 2016

Kochi, Apr 22: Chiku, 28, a Malayali nurse working in Badar Al Samaa hospital at Salalah, Oman, for the past three years, was stabbed to death by an unknown assailant in a suspected case of attempted robbery.

OmanChiku, married to Linson Thomas, also working as a male nurse in the same hospital, failed to turn up for work at around 11 pm local time. Mr Thomas, who was on duty at the hospital, went to their apartment and found her dead with grievous injuries. T.I. Varghese, a close relative of the family, told this newspaper that the woman was suspected to be hacked with a sharp edged weapon.

“Relatives of Mr Thomas working in Oman have gone to Salalah and we are waiting for information from them. We are utterly shocked by the incident,” he said.

The body of Chiku is likely to be flown in to Kerala on Sunday or Monday, Mr Varghese said. Chiku was three months pregnant, according to her relatives.

Chiku is the eldest daughter of the Robert-Saby couple. Her younger sister is a student of D.Pharm course in a college in Cherthala.

External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday said an Indian national working as a nurse in Oman was murdered and has asked the Indian Ambassador there for a report on the matter.

it is clear that the baby was targeted, otherwise there was no need to stab a woman with so many stabs if the reason was only ROBBERY. i trust our dear HM that he will find out the monster, this cannot be an act of a human being. THE EYES OF GOD THE ALMIGHTY OVERLOOKS EACH AND EVERY CREATION OF HIS AND THE CULPRIT WILL NOT ESCAPE THE WRATH OF GOD.
As a mother of 9 year old baby which my GOD blessed me after much trials for 6 years, i only ask \why\""

Either YOU are ignorant of GOD or U are a fool to believe such a way.
God created all that exists in this EARTH and he has proportioned everything. Humans are one of the intelligent creation of ALLAH and as we advance technologically.. Human moral are decreasing and they rely on the advancement of technology. Mobile are good but when people use for BAD it is affecting the society. Everywhere U see evil, we need to stop it rather than ignoring.
When EVIL increases WE should voice out ... which we dont see now a days... it is our job too to voice out the EVIL done in our society.
God is most merciful, the culprit may escape cos of a merciful now , but his life will not get contentment in this world unless he asks forgiveness with the victim & with the creator who gave the LIFE to all.. There is a day when everything thing will be judged in front of THE CREATOR.
He gave us LIFE and he is the one who takes LIFE. Had U ever look what GOD says in his message .. if not please lOOK QURAN and find out what he says in QURAN on the PURPOSE of LIFE, Good and EVIL and HEAVEN and HELL>

First know WHO is ALLAH and then learn more about his messenger like Prophet Muhammd pbuh, jesus, moses, ibrahim, noah and many other... Who conveyed What is LIFE and what is our duties.

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.

New Delhi, Feb 7: The Supreme Court on Friday issued a notice to the Central government on a plea challenging the Constitutional validity of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and effective implementation of the Assam Accord.

A bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) SA Bobde also sought Centre's response on the plea filed by Assam Social Justice Forum.

The petition sought appropriate directions for taking effective steps for the implementation of Assam Accord, 1985 in letter and spirit and for conservation and preservation of the of a distinct culture, heritage and traditions of the indigenous people of Assam.

The Assam Accord, 1985, had fixed March 24, 1971, as the cut-off date for deportation of all illegal immigrants irrespective of their religion.

The Bench also sought Centre's response on another fresh batch of pleas challenging CAA and tagged them along with other petitions pending in the matter.

One of the petitions, filed by the Association of Advocates from Maharashtra among others, sought to declare the Citizenship Amendment Act as discriminatory, arbitrary, and illegal and consequently set aside the impugned act as ultra-vires the Constitution of India.

On the other hand, over a hundred petitions have been filed in the apex court, for and against the amended citizenship law, which is facing opposition and protests across the country.

CAA grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians who fled religious persecution in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan and took refuge in India on or before December 31, 2014.
