Mangaluru, Jun 29: The hijab row in Mangaluru’s prestigious St Agnes College has taken a new twist with a couple of Muslim girls from the same college accusing the Campus Front of India (CFI) of unnecessarily politicising the issue.

On Jun 25, a few Muslim students of the college under the aegis of the Campus Front of India, had staged a protest to exert pressure on the college authorities to allow them to wear headscarf as part of hijab inside classrooms.

Naureen, Vice President of St Agnes Student Council, who is also a Muslim, told media persons today that she received threats from a man (suspected to be an NRI) from a Gulf country for not supporting the CFI sponsored protest.

She said that the Muslim female students were instigated by a Whatsapp group 'Justice for Scarf and Namaz'. "A few days ago even I was added to this group along with other Agnes students, but I did not appreciate the conversation and the context. Subsequently I exited from the group. However, my number was anonymously circulated I have been receiving wielded threats from an unidentified male from Saudi Arabia," she revealed.

Meanwhile, Anees Shahik, father of a student, who was allegedly forced to take part in the protest, alleged that his daughter was unnecessarily dragged to the issue by CFI.

"My daughter was just called by this group to discuss the matter outside college gate. But when the media arrived in the scene, she was pressurised to make a statement by CFI. Clearly instigated by them, my daughter made certain statements. At this age it is easy for children to fall for pressure of such groups," he said.

“The matter is blown out of proportion, whereas I certainly feel that this is an internal matter and it can be resolved by the school management and administration,” he added.

muhammad rafique, you cant tell me what i should do . theres nothing like behaving like a muslim. i know what i have done. i am not trying to impress the management or any of the members. i did what was right. i am not against anyone . But, protesting against the college was not an option. i dont want you to fight (if you knew about islam you would also know what violence is haram) .

Thanks for helping me understand that you are a girl student .

dear sister it's better not drag my family members here.

firstly I didnt comment on you personally unless you are Naureen. i still wonder how can someone feel instigated with the phrase "justice for scarf and namaz" '

Mr. Narang kotian, we don’t want your sympathy , don’t pull down Pakistan’s politics to us keep quit.

Mr Rafeeq,
You need not to teach me where to raise my voice and where not. I also have the right to hide my identity (just like you have right to wear hijab). By the way, instead of asking me to show the guts, ask the female members of your family. Mind your tongue while arguing with a girl

why commenting with anonymous identify ? have guts to reveal yourself

why are you silent when cheddi goons have been creating ruckus in the name of moral policing?

give your suggestions to morons like pumpwell, etc

Congrats to Naureen. Muslim girls like you are asset of the nation. Don’t hesitate to go and file complaint against those who issue you threats. They are jihadists. People like them had tried to kill Malala too. I am sure that you will face more threats in future from thirbokis. But believe me, the more threats you receive, the more you become stronger.
Jai Hind

CFI has only these 3 members..! in thier protests, always these 3 people. No other people is there for them. Somehow they managed to get few girls this time for the protests.

I wont believe a muslim father will tell against issue if the intention is true. I believe CFI using that girl and politicising the issue.

Appreciate the courage of Naureen, who braved threats and issued a bold statement. All are with you. Don’t worry. Let the misogynists go to hell.

Mr Rafeeq. First you behave like a Muslim by understanding the issue. What’s the meaning of your question? Whats the meaning of asking justice for scarf & namaz? What happened in Agnes is its internal issue. You need not to send your sister or daughter to this college. Stop giving ur bullshit advices to other girls.

CFI supports only unwanted issues.

Was it too bad than your right wing folks have been spreading hatred against muslims?

Sister Naureen, what is wrong in asking justice for scarf & namaz?

First try to learn what Islam is and behave like a Muslim. Rather being a office bearer of a student council and impress upon the management and others .

Admin of the jihadist whatsapp group 'Justice for Scarf and Namaz' must be arrested immediately. This group is responsible for all the confusion. One of my Muslim friends showed me the conversations in the group. It was too bad

Some students were used by the CFI and some by the college. Please allow the students to lead the life as they wish and concentrate on education. Keep communal hatred away from the campus

Embattled tycoon B R Shetty now holds employees responsible for NMC fraud

coastaldigest.com news network

April 30,2020

Newsroom, Apr 30: Beleaguered billionaire B R Shetty, who went into hiding after after a multi-billion fraud at UAE-based NMC Health came to light, has now put the blame on his companies employees.

The former chairman of the Abu Dhabi headquartered hospital operator said, investigations he commissioned found following things:

1. The fraudulent creation and operating of bank accounts in my name including many fraudulent transfers that I neither authorised, consented to, or had any knowledge of.

2. The fraudulent creation of loans, personal guarantees, cheques and bank transfers in my name, and using my forged signature, that I neither authorised, consented to, or had any knowledge of.

3. The creation and set-up of companies in my name that I neither authorised, consented to, or had any knowledge of, and that were seemingly created with the express intention to commit or conceal fraud.

4. The fraudulent creation of powers of attorney, and the misuse of existing powers of attorney, again in my name, that I that I neither authorised, consented to, or had any knowledge of.

5. The creation and provision to me of false and misleading financial statements and information regarding the performance of some of my private companies and investments by members of my own management team.

6. The payments of expenses using my private companies and personal bank accounts, I believe to hide the true financials of the public companies."

This is the first time Dr. Shetty, who is reportedly hiding in India for the last couple of months, issued a statement based on investigations he commissioned privately. He had brought in a consultancy to conduct it after initial revelations came to light that NMC Health had not been fully transparent with its finances.

Dr. Shetty had stepped down as executive chairman after the then Board of Directors barred him from attending any meetings. “I intend to work tirelessly to clear my name and assist any authorities in getting to the truth and help them ensure that misappropriated or missing funds are returned by the perpetrators to their rightful owners,” said Dr. Shetty.

This month, ADCB, which has the highest exposure among UAE banks to NMC Health, brought charges against five former officials, including ex-board of directors, with Abu Dhabi prosecution. The former CEOs of NMC Health and Finablr are also currently not in the UAE.

Loss of smell or taste added to list of covid symptoms

Agencies

June 13,2020

New Delhi, Jun 13: Loss of smell or taste has been added to the list of COVID-19 symptoms, according to the revised clinical management protocols released by the Union Health Ministry on Saturday.

The ministry said that coronavirus-infected patients reporting to various COVID-19 treatment facilities have been reporting symptoms like fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, expectoration, myalgia, rhinorrhea, sore throat and diarrhea.

They have also complained of loss of smell (anosmia) or loss of taste (ageusia) preceding the onset of respiratory symptoms.

Older people and immune-suppressed patients in particular may present with atypical symptoms such as fatigue, reduced alertness, reduced mobility, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, delirium, and absence of fever, the ministry said.

Children might not have reported fever or cough as frequently as adults.

The US's national public health institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), had in early May incorporated "a new loss of taste or smell" in the list of COVID-19 symptoms.

According to the data from Integrated Health Information Platform and Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme, portal case investigation forms for COVID 19 (n=15,366), the details on the signs and symptoms reported are (as on June 11), fever (27 per cent), cough (21 pc), sore throat (10 pc), breathlessness (8 pc), Weakness (7 pc), running nose (3pc ) and others 24 pc.

According to the health ministry, people infected by the novel coronavirus are the main source of infection.

Direct person-to-person transmission occurs through close contact, mainly through respiratory droplets that are released when the infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.

These droplets may also land on surfaces, where the virus remains viable. Infection can also occur if a person touches an infected surface and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

The median incubation period is 5.1 days (range 2–14 days). The precise interval during which an individual with COVID-19 is infectious is uncertain.

As per the current evidence, the period of infectivity starts 2 days prior to onset of symptoms and lasts up to 8 days.

The extent and role played by pre-clinical/ asymptomatic infections in transmission still remain under investigation.

‘Apologize or face defamation suit’: Karnataka BJP sends legal notice to DKS, Siddaramaiah

News Network

July 31,2020

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit.

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies.

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry.

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
