You are a traitor; go to Pakistan: BJP MP Anant Kumar Hegde to IAS officer Sasikanth Senthil

Mangaluru, Sept 9: Former Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner Sasikanth Senthil, who quit India Administrative Service last week in protest against anti-democratic policies of the union government, has all of a sudden become a “traitor” for Bharatiya Janata Party.

Senior BJP leader and Uttara Kannada MP Anant Kumar Hegde, has not only branded Mr Senthil a “gaddar” (traitor), but also asked him to leave India and go to Pakistan.

“The state government should realize that it should have sacked him after he opened his polluted mindset against the Union Government,” Mr Hegde said reacting to a news article on efforts to convince Senthil against resigning.

“But cajoling this gaddar to return, amounts to treacherous act against the nation,” Hegde, a former Union minister, added.

On Friday last week, Senthil announced his resignation from the IAS citing “ideological issues” and it was widely seen as angst directed at the Narendra Modi administration at the Centre, especially after the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir.
In his resignation letter, Mr Senthil said: “I have taken this decision as I feel that it is unethical to continue as a civil servant in the government when fundamental building blocks of our diverse democracy are being compromised in an unprecedented manner.”

“The coming days would present extremely difficult challenges in the basic fabric of the Nation. As such it would be better to be outside IAS to continue my work,” he added.

Hegde went on to justify branding Senthil as a traitor. Reacting to one of Senthil’s interviews in which he says India was witnessing a “fascist onslaught,” Hegde said: “If this guy can conclude that the Union Government is fascist, then we have the liberty to call him another paid Gaddar, dancing to the tunes set by his real paymasters! This may be the debate he wants to initiate!”

Continuing his tirade against Senthil, Hegde asked Senthil to go to Pakistan. “The first thing he should do is to migrate to Pakistan along with those who have supported his views. This is practically easy and the final solution also. Instead of breaking the country by staying here, he can go there (Pakistan) and fight against our country and our government. Let loyalty be shown in this at least,” Hegde said.

As news comes in media that our NSA's Son is having links of his business to pakistan. he may help Mr hegde to open one branch in his native place sirsi. SHame on BJP. When whole india hates Pakistan this BJP peoples cant survive without them.

Hegde is very sick.

Needs Pett theraphy.

If a honest officer like Mr. Senthil can out and express his true views on the government's sick activities, see where are moving to?

The country is moving towards distruction.

It is already started economic downfall, people lose jobs, factories are shut, also RBI is polluted, courts are mislead and spoiled

Peace is no more in the country.

These blind stupids can not understand. Now it is the time of end.

VINASHA KALAKKE VIPAREETHA BUDDI.

Countdown started and speeding to end.

Reopening of mosques in Turkey creates spectacular scenes

News Network

May 30,2020

Istanbul: Mosques in Turkey reopened on Friday for mass prayers after more than two months as the government further eased strict restrictions to stop the spread of the new coronavirus.

Turkey has been shifting since May to a "new normal" by easing lockdown measures and opening shopping malls, barbershops and hair salons.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said many other sites -- restaurants and cafes as well as libraries, parks and beaches -- will reopen from Monday.

Hundreds of worshippers wearing protective masks performed mass prayers outside Istanbul's historic Blue Mosque for the first time since mosques were shut down in March.

In the Ottoman-era Fatih mosque, worshippers prayed both inside and outside, with the municipality handing out disinfectants and disposable carpets.

"I have waited a lot for this, I have prayed a lot. I can say it's like a new birth, thanks to God, he has brought us back here," he said.

Another worshipper, Asum Tekif, 50, said: "It has a been a long time... we missed the mosques."

Turkey, a country of 83 million, has so far recorded 4,489 coronavirus-related deaths and 162,120 confirmed cases.

Prayers in Hagia Sophia

Muslim clerics on Friday recited prayers in the Hagia Sophia, the world famous Istanbul landmark which is now a museum after serving as a church and a mosque.

The prayers were held to celebrate the anniversary of the conquest of Constantinople, today's Istanbul, by the Ottomans in 1453.

"It is very important to commemorate the 567th anniversary of the conquest ... through prayers in the Hagia Sophia," said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who attended the ceremony via videoconference.

The stunning edifice was first built as a church in the sixth century under the Byzantine Empire as the centrepiece of its capital Constantinople.

After the Ottoman conquest, it was converted into a mosque before being turned into a museum during the rule of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey, in the 1930s.

But there have been hints about reconverting the Hagia Sophia into a mosque. Last year, Erdogan himself mooted the possibility of turning Hagia Sofia museum into a mosque.

Such calls have sparked anger among Christians and raised tensions with neighbouring Greece.

In 2015, a Muslim cleric recited the Koran in the Hagia Sophia for the first time in 85 years to mark the opening of an exhibition.

After Friday prayers at the Blue Mosque, a small group of Muslim worshippers shouted: "Let the chains break and let the Hagia Sophia open".

The group was later dispersed by the police who stopped them from protesting near Hagia Sophia that sits immediately opposite the Blue Mosque.
