Hindu population is declining because of internal insecurity, inequality: Kharge

August 29, 2016

Suttur, (Mysuru Dist), Aug 29: Congress leader in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjuna Kharge on Sunday said family planning or any other legislations were not responsible for the decline in population of Hindus, on contrary, it is the untouchability, discrimination and injustice within the religion are the culprits.

Addressing the gathering during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of JSS?Gurukula at Suttur, Kharge reacted strongly to RSS?chief Mohan Bhagwat's comments on declining Hindu population.

Kharge said, “A powerful person in the country had questioned that which law has asked Hindus to procreate fewer children. Who has stopped them?.”

“The growth rate of Hindu population is declining because of insecurity, inequality among the people of the religion. When the religion, which is made for the development of the people, fails to think about the welfare of the people, then obviously, people think why they should be a part of the religion,” he opined.

Kharge recalled the contributions and ideologies of the 12th Century social reformer Basavanna who aspired for casteless and classless society through his Anubhava Mantapa'.

“While majority of the mutts are playing constructive role in the development of the society and country, divisive elements are endangering social fabric of the nation. People should decide which is good for the society, he added.

Suttur seer Shivarathri Deshikendra Swami, Art of Living guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Home Minister G?Parameshwara, Sugar and Cooperation Minister H?S?Mahadev Prasad, former Chief Minister H?D?Kumaraswamy and others were present.

Comments

Mr. Kharge well said, and very well said.
If any religion (its teaching) does not protect the people then why should be a part of that religion ?. Very well said. It is 100 times perfect.

Then it is the right and duty of the people study all popular religions. Discover the 1 perfect religion that never contradicts the truth and science. There can not be more than 1 such perfect religion. Because the true religion is from the God. The God will not contradict HIS own religion.
Once you find it, follow it, share it with others. Others should support, share, enjoy the peaceful life so that no difference in ideology.
God help us to know truth from your teaching.

If U really use your intellect... then follow this
NA TASYA Pratima Asti - There is no image of God...
DOnT worship Man made idols, images, statues, objects, animals, and others....
Look for the TRUTH, Who is this GOD...
U can check in different religious book and U will find out the TRUTH of the ONE GOD who created U ME and all that exists.
He is the one who gives us life and death...
Search for him ... Cos of his mercy ... U still have your life... But YOU guys choose to worship the man made objects .... which is INJUSTICE to the CREATOR.
Please Study and learn about Who is our CREATOR ... If U are HONEST and want to know TRUE GOD then only GOD will Guide U to TRUTH... or else U will be in DARKNESS and live a life of meaning less and illogical... and the end will be more severe... (May God protect us from it)

PONDER and THINK and LOOK for the REALITY

Misappropriation in the name of fighting covid? Karnataka govt urged to come clean on charges

News Network

June 28,2020

Bengaluru, Jun 28: Former Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah asked the Karnataka government to release White Paper over the state of healthcare system and the government's preparedness to address COVID-19 pandemic.

He said that the State Government to come clean on the charges of misappropriation of large sums of funds in the name of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.

"People are extremely worried about the state of our healthcare system and the government's preparedness to address pandemic. It is the responsibility of Karnataka Chief Minister to clear the doubts and reduce the panic among people. I urge the government to #ReleaseWhitePaper about the same," the Congress leader tweeted.

Siddaramaiah said that the Chief Minister should let people know about the amount of money already spent to improve healthcare facilities, the number of beds and ventilators increased and about the supply of PPE kits to COVID-19 warriors.

"Karnataka Chief Minister should also reveal the contribution of PMO India to our state. Has Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa demanded anything from Narendra Modi? How much of PM CARES Fund is spent for Karnataka's healthcare?" he asked in another tweet.

He went on to say that PMO India and Chief Minister of Karnataka "wasted crucial time during lockdown."

"The purpose of lockdown was to fill the gaps in health care system. But they just widened it by frequently changing the protocols and by not doing adequate tests," he said.

"Karnataka Chief Minister and other departments have failed to answer my multiple queries regarding the actions taken. As a leader of opposition, it is my right to question the government on behalf of people. Deliberate act of denying information is a breach of privilege. Government hospitals have reached its capacity and private hospitals are not ready to treat patients at capped prices," he wrote.

Siddaramaiah said that the Karnataka Chief Minister should either convince private players or take action against them, and added, "Not doing both is like pushing people off the cliff."

He tweeted, "The testing rates per day have come down in last 15 days even when the cases are rising. What is stopping the government from increasing the testing? The government is putting people at risk by not testing adequately."

Further attacking the state government, he wrote, "Our state needs 9000 ventilators, but we have only 1500, PMO India has sent 90 to us. Is this a joke to Karnataka Chief Minister and PMO India? #ReleaseWhitePaper about the ways that they plan to increase ventilators."

Here's the first phase flight plan for return of Indian nationals stranded abroad

coastaldigest.com news network

May 5,2020

Newsroom, May 5: Following the union government's nod, preparations are afoot to bring back Indian nationals stranded abroad from May 7 onwards.

According to sources, in the first phase from May 7- 14, the government would allow more than 60 “non-scheduled, commercial” flights to operate from about 12 countries to India to bring back 15,000 citizens. At least half of those flights will be from the Gulf region, including UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman, while the rest would bring passengers from the U.S., the U.K., Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Bangladesh.

The flights would be spread over 10 States identified as having the largest numbers to return, with Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Delhi (NCR) receiving the maximum number of flights.

A meeting held at the Ministry of Civil Aviation looked specifically at flights, mainly operated by Air India, while it awaits a final plan from countries where Indians need to be airlifted from. The first flights planned at present are from Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh and Doha, flying directly to Kozhikode and Kochi.

While the full estimate of Indians needing to return home could cross ten lakhs (a million), with more than two lakhs having registered to return from the UAE alone, officials said their return would be “prioritised and staggered”.
