Maha assembly suspends Muslim MLA for not saying Bharat Mata ki Jai'

March 16, 2016

Mumbai, Mar 16: AIMIM MLA Waris Pathan was today suspended from Maharashtra Assembly for refusing to say 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' with legislators cutting across party lines pressing for action against him through a unanimous resolution.

mim Pathan, who represents Byculla seat in South Mumbai, will not be allowed to attend the proceedings of the House till the end of ongoing Budget session.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Girish Bapat said, "Pathan was suspended from Assembly for showing disrespect to national heroes and refusal to say Bharat Mata ki Jai."

It all began when All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MLA from Aurangabad, Imtiaz Jaleel, was speaking on the debate on the Governor's address in the Assembly.

Jaleel said the government should not spend taxpayers' money on building memorials of 'great personalities'.

A Shiv Sena MLA interjected, saying Jaleel's party leader Asaduddin Owaisi had recently stated he will not chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'.

To this, Pathan said, "We will say 'Jai Hind' but not 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'. There cannot be compulsion on saying 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'. The Constitution does not say this."

Immediately after his remarks, MLAs from ruling BJP and Shiv Sena and other Opposition parties including Congress and NCP demanded suspension of AIMIM legislators from the House.

Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse said the AIMIM MLAs should apologise but his suggestion was shot down by angry members of the House, who, setting aside political differences, sought their suspension.

Bapat said he will table a resolution seeking the approval of the House for suspension of AIMIM MLAs, after which it was adjourned for 10 minutes. It was again adjourned thrice amid noisy scenes.

When the proceedings resumed, Minister of State for Home Ranjit Patil tabled the resolution, seeking suspension of Pathan, which was approved unanimously.

"Pathan has misused freedom of speech, violated Parliamentary traditions and insulted 'Bharat Mata (Mother India)," the minister said.

The resolution was tabled in keeping with the sentiments of the House, he added. "During his suspension period, Pathan won't be able to attend House proceedings and won't be allowed near Vidhan Bhawan premises," Patil said.

Speaker Haribhau Bagade informed the House that the resolution was adopted unanimously. AIMIM has expressed its opposition to chant 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' as proposed by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat who had said that the new generation needs to be taught to chant slogans hailing mother India.

Owaisi had said he did not want to chant that slogan. "What are you going to do, Bhagwat sahab. I won't utter that (slogan) even if you put a knife to my throat. Nowhere in the Constitution it says that one should say: 'Bharat Mata ki Jai," Owaisi had said addressing a public rally in Udgir tehsil of Latur district on March 13. His comments had evoked strong reactions from the Shiv Sena and BJP.

All secular hindu, muslim & christians should unite together to fight against this acting nationalist terror organisations.... we should create brotherhood among different communities...

We can’t even say Saudia Mata Ki Jai or Afghan Mata Ki Jai or Bhoomi Mata Ki Jai. Can RSS terrorist explain us who is that Bharat Mata?.....Jai Hind

To save the situation the MLA could have said Jai Hind ....

Many of RSS members have become terrorists after saying it....what is the big deal....as long as you love your country it does not really matter if he says or not....Muslims love India more than non muslims...they are ready to give life for it....Let RSS hoist Indian flag right in front of its Headquarter....then we can say they are patriots....until such time we cant consider them at all....

Nobody have the right to force anyone to do anything.

This is individual's right and choice to do so if he/she feels comfortable with it.
There may be no harm in telling Bharat Mataki Jai, but it should not be by force. It is his choice.
This is not constitutional or religious duty to say that.

However not telling is not at all a crime.
When individual enforces his own idea, then real obligatory duty also fails.
May God give wisdom to these people.

Mangaluru | KCCI unveils ‘Let’s Fight Back Together’ campaign against covid-19

Media Release

July 31,2020

Mangaluru, July 31: Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) has unveiled a campaign both on digital media and outdoor billboards on bringing awareness on the right usage of masks, social distancing and hand washing in the fight against COVID19. The campaign has received very good response and attention on social media and with the citizens of Mangaluru.

While the numbers of Covid-19 infected people were increasing and a vaccine would take some more time it was observed that norms of social distancing and other precautionary practices were thrown to the wind. Many people in Dakshina Kannada were found using masks inappropriately. Wearing a mask in a scientific way by covering both the nose and mouth is imperative to control droplets that spread the virus. We need to rise above our inconvenience to fight the virus.

Considering this the KCCI found an immediate need to bring awareness and constant reminder to people on the right usage of masks, social distancing, washing hands and other dos and don’ts to stay ahead of the virus and beat the pandemic.

A digital campaign and an outdoor advertisement campaign were planned by the chamber to remind and encourage people to follow best practices when interacting with others.

The theme of the Campaign was decided to be “Let’s Fight Back Together” Origin Designext a Creative Agency in Mangalore was roped in to do the creative for the campaign and a team from KCCI worked with the Agency to shape up the campaign with their inputs. In the meantime Indian Red Cross Society Dakshina Kannada and Rotary Mangaluru expressed their interest to support the Campaign.

Mangaluru based outdoor agencies like Jyothi Advertisers, Kalkura Advertisers and Gee Dee Advertisers agreed to provide outdoor space gratis to this community service campaign. Presented both in English and Kannada, the campaign has been creating waves on social media and on the street, a sign that it is being very well received by the populace of Mangalore city.

The creative of Half Covered or Half exposed where a model is shown with a mask that exposes the nose and KA-19 v/s COVID-19 (KA-19 being the Vehicle Registration Code for the District) have been particularly making a buzz in the community. All together 14 hoardings are currently on display with various Covid-19 awareness messages. Many business houses have shown interest to participate in this public awareness campaign.

The Chamber hopes this campaign would go a long way in the fight of the city against COVID-19 and play its role in putting the pandemic behind us. “Businesses and our economy has suffered enough, we need to work together to fight this virus, we need to rise above minor inconvenience and win this war,” says Isaac Vas the President to KCCI.

PE firms, IT Dept get clean chit in CCD founder Siddhartha's suicide case

Agencies

July 25,2020

New Delhi, Jul 25: Nearly a year after Cafe Coffee Day founder V.G. Siddhartha's death, the probe committee appointed by the Board of Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (CDEL) has given a virtual clean chit to private equity investors and the Income Tax Department who were named in his last letter.
The investigation report noted that Siddhartha may have felt "aversive behavioural stimulus" due to persistent reminders from the PE investors and other lenders.

"However, such reminders and follow-ups by the PE investors and lenders are not something which are beyond normal industry practices and we believe that PE investors were acting as per accepted legal and business norms," said that report.

It further said that the investigators were not provided with any documentary evidence to show any "advertent or inadvertent harassment" from the Income Tax Department.

It however, said that the financial records suggest a serious liquidity crunch which may have arisen due to the attachment of Mindtree shares by the IT Department.

Further, the probe revealed that MACEL, a private firm of Siddhartha, owes Rs 2,693 crore to Coffee Day Enterprises, which the report says, "needs to be addressed".

The Cafe Coffee Day founder's body was fished out of the Netravathi river in Karnataka by a group of fishermen on July 31 last year, a day after he went missing.

His last note raised several questions about the role of investors, and tax officials.

He had written: "Tremendous pressure from other lenders lead to me succumbing to the situation. There was a lot of harassment from the previous DG Income Tax in the form of attaching our shares on two separate occasions to block our Mindtree deal and then taking possession of our Coffee Day shares, although the revised returns have been filed by us. This was very unfair and has led to a serious liquidity crunch."

The massive shock to the industry and the country also led the government to assure that tax officials would not harass businessmen and the situation would improve.
