Emirate Khader Bhai: Loved by everyone; hated by none

P A Hameed Padubidri, Riyadh-KSA

December 7, 2018

When full of emotions, words get frozen... That’s what I personally felt when I heard the shocking news of death of my very good friend Emirate Khader. I felt once as if I was seeing a bad dream! Initial confusion about the uncertainty of his death gave again some hope; but that too was temporary as fact is always fact.

He is no more among us now. I personally feel that whatever I write about his personality is insufficient. I had good times with him when we were together at a room in Dammam for about one and half years in 2005-2006. I saw a rarest of rare personalities like him in my social, political and professional life with always smiling face and laughs even in his toughest times, with good passion and humanitarian gesture and easily available for any issue.

Allah gifted him with such a personality that stamped hundreds of thousands of hearts with non-erasable marks; remembering him forever.

He was a Good Samaritan with great qualities and calibres. He was a man of friend-in- need readily available for any issues like labour and other matters. Having a good command over Arabic, he was and effective chap to approach any native Arabic speakers. He never said "No" to any matter and most of the times he was successful in any issue he took up.

Most of the new comers to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia used to come in contact with him for any job placements, iqama process matter etc.

At the time when none (or very few people) was available for any help, he played a significant role in social and humanitarian assistances. Not only Mangalureans, but also other Indian compatriots and other nationalities in the KSA used to approach him for help. That makes his personality tall.

He struggled a lot...That resulted in his two sons graduated in engineering and other faculty. His whole family stood by him during his most difficulty days. He was a great husband and great father.

Tears rolled down the cheeks while I was writing on him. Hearts and minds became heavy when I typed each and every word about him. A reel of flashbacks came in mind in abundance while picking each expression on him. He was hated by none and loved by everyone. He left behind a good legacy leaving many in sad and shocking mood.

I feel he is still among us and immediately felt sad he is permanently far away from us and returned to the irrevocable call of ALLAH.

His father-in-law, Basrikatte Bawaka, who also passed away with him, was also a noble personality. He was a fitting father-in-law to the best son-in-law. Destiny is that both breathed their last together.

May Allah grant them Maghfirah and Jannaathul Firdous. May Allah give their family a great volume of patience (Sabr) to bear the great losses. May Allah give a speedy recovery for his wife and children, who sustained injuries in the accident.

Shivamogga, Jun 20: Shivamogga District unit of Congress led by party veteran Kagodu Thimmappa staged a protest against state government's proposal to amend the land reform act, which will allow non-agriculturist to buy farmland.

The district congress staged a protest at the premise of the Deputy Commissioner office in Shivamogga city.

The protesters termed Karnataka Government led by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa as an anti-farmers government.

According to Congress and Raith Sang, the proposed amendments to Karnataka State Land reforms act 1961 will cause harm to farmers.

"According to the proposed amendment, non-agriculturists like business tycoons can also purchase the agriculture land. This will help the businessman and will be harmful to farmers," protesters said.

High Court rejects plea to transfer Amulya Leona’s slogan case to NIA

News Network

July 29,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 29: The Karnataka High Court’s division bench of Chief Justice Abhay Oka and Justice H P Sandesh today rejected an application that wanted Amulya Leona’s case to be transferred from Karnataka Police to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

The bench, while observing that extraordinary jurisdiction can’t be exercised for transferring the case to the NIA, asked “What is so special that investigation should be transferred to NIA?”

The court, in its previous hearing, had questioned the maintainability of the petition seeking transfer of the sedition case against Leona to the NIA.

According to the petitioner, advocate Pavana Chandra Shetty, the case is a serious matter against national integration and unity and has not been investigated properly by the police. The state police also failed to file the chargesheet within 90 days, he said, and also asked for cancellation of her bail.

The bench asked the petitioner as to how a bail, already granted to a person, can be cancelled. “Is it not the indefeasible right of the accused to be released on bail if chargesheet is not filed within stipulated time? How can you make a prayer for cancellation of bail?” the Court asked.

The counsel for the petitioner also stated that in cases of a cognizable offence, when the chargesheet is purposely not filed within the stipulated time, the matter will have to transferred to the appropriate authority.

The court responded to his contention by asking him how could the court override law and cancel the bail. “Where is the question of cancellation of bail? Can we override the law and say that bail should be cancelled?” said the bench.

Advocate Vishal Raghu had filed the petition for transfer of Leona’s case, who was accused of raising pro-Pakistan slogans at an anti-CAA rally on February 20 at Freedom Park. The advocate had blamed the probe team for not filing a chargesheet on time and has asked the state government to approach the higher court against bail granted to Leona.

Bengaluru student Amulya Leona was charged with sedition for her actions in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi. She was arrested by the Bengaluru police for allegedly shouting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti- CAA Protest in Bengaluru in February this year. On June 11, she was granted conditional bail by the Bengaluru civil court.

Her bail plea was earlier rejected by a Bengaluru court, after she had spent a three-month period in jail, stating that she may abscond if she is released. The sessions judge Vidhyadhar Shirahatti had also stated that if the petitioner is granted bail, she may abscond and may involve in similar offence which affects peace at large and hence her petition is liable to be rejected. The court had also noted that Amulya Leona is an influential person who may threaten and influence the witness and hamper the case in case of the prosecution and will abscond if released on bail.

People in this Karnataka city boycott health survey mistaking it for NRC

News Network

January 3,2020

Chamarajanagar, Jan 3: The residents of Galipura layout in Chamarajanagar city boycotted the annual Community Based Survey (CBS), conducted by the Health and Family Welfare department, mistaking it to be the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Majority of the residents in the layout belong to Muslim community. The people, who mistook CBS to the NRC survey, got into arguments with the Asha workers, who were given the responsibility of collecting information. They even tore the forms into pieces and vent their ire.

The Health Department conducts CBS every year in the urban areas and collects all details including Aadhaar number, residential address, details of family members, health problems and others.

Fifteen Asha workers were deputed for the survey in the layout. A few youths started questioning them alleging it to be an NRC survey and started arguing with them.
Tahsildar Mahesh, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr N C Ravi, with the help of Muslim leaders cleared the confusion. The community leaders assured of explaining it to the residents and extend cooperation to the survey.

Its not the fault of the residents. Sanghis are planning to approach citizins disguised as health workers and else to get details of residents. such trouble makers should be noted and handed over to police. Police should arrest such fake people and put in jail. such fake people are trying to terrify poors and collect money assuring to help them. So, please be careful.
