C M Ibrahim to jump back to JD(S) soon?

December 29, 2016

Bengaluru, Dec 29: More than a decade after he was expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), Congress leader and Karnataka State Planning Commission vice-chairman C M Ibrahim is reportedly making preparations to return to the former prime minister H D Deve Gowda led party.

cmi Mr Ibrahim, who has a history of party hopping, has been constantly criticising chief minister Siddaramaiah since last year and many a times openly praised the JD(S) supremo.

Interestingly, Mr Ibrahim has close friendship with Mangaluru-bsed industrialist B M Farooq, who was recently made JD(S) chief general secretary. On the other hand, JD(S) also trying to bring in someMuslim faces' after taking action against rebel Muslim MLAs Zameer Ahmed Khan and Iqbal Ansari.

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Ibrahim, who had won the trust of Deve Gowda after migrating to erstwhile Janata Dal from Congress party decades ago, had began criticising him before being expelled from the JD(S) along with Siddaramaiah in 2005.

Even though Siddaramaiah joined Congress soon, Mr Ibrahim joined the party in 2008. Later, Mr Ibrahim emerged as a confidante of Siddaramaiah and the latter, after becoming the chief minister of Karnataka, did not hesitate to give the former the coveted post of the vice-chairman of Planning Commission in spite of severe opposition from several party leaders.

Mr. Ibrahim, who first became an MLA in 1978 on the Janata Party ticket, joined the Congress in 1980 and became the Labour Minister in the R Gundu Rao ministry. He was then known as the 'right hand' of Gundu Rao. After Gundu Rao asked Mr Ibrahim to quit the ministry over corruption allegation, the latter had distanced himself from the Congress and gradually became close to Deve Gowda.

After years of political hibernation, he joined the Janata Dal in the 1990s and became its president. He was the Union Civil Aviation Minister in the Deve Gowda ministry. Mr Ibrahim is known for his oratory and public speeches as he enjoys command over Kannada and many other regional languages.

Kick him out from Congress

First of all he is an opportunist politician, giving big speeches not enough, he is not a minority leader nor a minority face. Chief Minister given a very good post for him even though he has not won any assembly seat! All minority community is not behind him. If BJP or Sangh Parivar offer him better post, he will not hesitate to join.

Better for him to join BJP / Sangha Parivar

He is opportunist and better to leave Congress and clean congress.

C.M.Ibrahim is not a influential minority leader. He is a opportunist. It is better congress to sack him from the party. He is an liability to any political party. He is a devotee of Pejawar mutt and Siddaganga mutt. He is a name sake Muslim. He tried to re introduce the lottery system.

Thanks CD for bringing to light the bhayankara history of this oosaravalli

This move will clean Congress. He is not a muslim face. In the name of religion many politicians makes huge money.

DGCA bars private jets from flying Indian expats back to UAE

coastaldigest.com news network

July 8,2020

Dubai, Jul 8: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has revoked landing permits issued to UAE-based private jets flying Indian expats who are willing to fly back to UAE. With this the operation of private jets from India to the UAE has stopped.

The development comes days after DGCA stopped UAE airlines from chartering repatriation flights to India.

The DGCA’s decision has come as a huge disappointment for desperate expats who are trying every means possible to return to the UAE, and were shelling out up to Dh15,000 per ticket.

All charter flights were operating with the appropriate permissions and clearances for the specific mission, route and destination, said the charterers.

DC Aviation Al-Futtaim, the only integrated VIP handling and hangar facility in DWC, said in an official statement: "As a result of the DGCA suspension of flights into India, our Challenger 604 aircraft which was scheduled to land in Dubai today has been affected."

Afi Ahmed, managing director of Smart Travels, said he has received news from official sources that all approvals for operation of private jets have been barred until July 10.

"Even the flights that had been given approvals stand cancelled. Some flights organised on July 9 have also been grounded," said Ahmed, who was also stranded in Kochi, Kerala, till July 4 but returned home in the UAE on-board Global 6,000, the largest business jet, organised by a Dubai-based aviation company.

Ganesh Rayapudi, a UAE-based businessman who has been trying to organise flights from India to UAE, said: "The government has kept on hold all charters. At least 52 passengers were desperately waiting to come back from Hyderabad on these flights and were willing to collectively cough up Dh400,000."

He added: "I agree that it is unfair to those who cannot afford these prices. However, UAE residents have commitments here; they were tired of waiting and willing to go any lengths, including taking the expensive route."

On July 3, India's DGCA announced via an official circular that scheduled international flights will remain suspended till month-end and only those on a case-to-case basis will be allowed to operate. These flights were suspended on March 22 due to the ongoing pandemic.
