Mangaluru, Feb 20: Even as the Karnataka unit of Bharatiya Janata Party has intensified campaign against ruling Congress party ahead of next year’s Assembly polls, Dakshina Kannada district unit of the saffron party on Monday staged a protest against the alleged corruptions of chief minister Siddaramaih led govt and party in the state.

A few dozens of BJP leaders and activists took part in the protest in front of the office of the deputy commissioner in the heart of the city.

Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and other firebrand speakers seized the opportunity to mock and ridicule Mr Siddaramiah while reiterating the “bribe to high command” allegations made against him by Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa.

Mr Kateel, who vociferously praised previous BJP governments of Karnataka, described the Siddaramaiah led cabinet as a bunch of corrupt and incompetent ministers. Ironically, he also said that many Congress leaders including ministers in the state (whom he called ‘corrupt’) will jump into BJP within a couple of months.

Predicting the end of the Congress government and party in Karnataka after 2018 Assembly polls, he said that Siddaramiah, who was a JD(S) leader in the past, is playing a crucial role in the destruction of the Congress party.

Former deputy speaker Yogish Bhat said that veteran leaders like Janardhana Poojary also have openly predicted the downfall of Congress under the leadership of a CM like Siddaramaiah. “We should appreciate the honesty of Mr Poojary who boldly pointed out the blunders of his party’s government,” he said.

BJP spokesperson Sulochana Bhat, district unit president of the party Sanjeeva Matandoor, former minister Nagaraj Shetty, former MLA Padmanabha Kottari were present among others.

Bachelor degree holders joining BJP to get their Masters degree in corruption. What a joke. Instead of this statement Nalin kumar could have told \ Our party is becoming more corrupt because some more corrupt politicians will join from Congress\""

In a development which highlights the diversity in the United Kingdom’s legal system, a 40-year-old Muslim woman has become the first hijab-wearing judge in the country.

Raffia Arshad, a barrister, was appointed a deputy district judge on the Midlands circuit last week after 17-year career in law.  

She said her promotion was great news for diversity in the world’s most respected legal system. She hopes to be an inspiration to young Muslims.

Ms Arshad, who grew up in Yorkshire, north England, has wanted to work in law since she was 11.

Ms Arshad said the judicial office was looking to promote diversity, but when they appointed her they did not know that she wore the hijab.

‘It’s definitely bigger than me,” she told Metro newspaper. "I know this is not about me.

"It’s important for all women, not just Muslim women, but it is particularly important for Muslim women."

Ms Arshad, a mother of three, has been practising private law dealing with children, forced marriage, female genital mutilation and other cases involving Islamic law for the past 17 years.

She was the first in her family to go to university and has also written a leading text on Islamic family law.

Although the promotion by the Lord Chief Justice was welcome news for her, Ms Arshad said the happiness from other people sharing the news was “far greater”.

“I’ve had so many emails from people, men and women," she said.

"It’s the ones from women that stand out, saying that they wear a hijab and thought they wouldn’t even be able to become a barrister, let alone a judge."

Ms Arshad is regularly the subject of discrimination in the courtroom because of her choice to wear the hijab.

She is sometimes mistaken for a court worker or a client.

Ms Arshad said that recently she was asked by an usher whether she was a client, an interpreter, and even if she were on work experience.

“I have nothing against the usher who said that but it reflects that as a society, even for somebody who works in the courts, there is still this prejudicial view that professionals at the top end don’t look like me,” she said.

A family member once advised her to not wear a hijab at an interview for a scholarship at the Inns of Court School of Law in 2001, warning that it would affect her chances of landing the role.

“I decided that I was going to wear my headscarf because for me it’s so important to accept the person for who they are," Ms Arshad said.

"And if I had to become a different person to pursue my profession, it’s not something I wanted.”

The joint heads of St Mary’s Family Law Chambers said they were “delighted” to hear the news of her appointment.

“Raffia has led the way for Muslim women to succeed in the law and at the bar, and has worked tirelessly to promote equality and diversity in the profession,” Vickie Hodges and Judy Claxton said.

“It is an appointment richly deserved and entirely on merit, and all at St Mary’s are proud of her and wish her every success.”

Kalaburagi, Mar 14: Utter negligence of Kalaburagi health department officials was one of the main reasons for the death of his father, alleged family member of Kalaburagi man and India's first COVID-19 victim here on Friday.

The victim's son said 'if officials of Kalaburagi health department had advised us to admit his father in isolated ward, which was opened in Gulbarga Institute of Medical science (GIMS), my father's survival time may have been extended,' he said.
