Learn constitution; oath in assembly should not be a jumla: UT Khader hits out at hate-filled Yatnal

Mangaluru, Jun 9: Minister for Urban Development and Housing U T Khader has taken BJP leader and Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal to task for his anti-constitutional and hate-filled remarks.

What Yatnal said?

A video of Yatnal instructing corporators to work only for Hindus and not for Muslims, has gone viral on social media. “I had called all corporators and have told them that they should work for only Hindus and not Muslims...,” Yatnal is clearly heard saying in the video.

“I had said no to Saabru (Muslims) in the beginning itself...I had instructed my people that those with topi (cap) and burkha should not come and stand in my office or beside me,” he said.

Yatnal had made these statements at a function on June 4 in Vijayapura. Later, in a press conference, Yatnal defended his statement, asking if it was “wrong to speak in favour of Hindus?”

Khader’s response

When media persons in Mangaluru today sought  Mr Khader’s response to Yatnal’s statement, he said that Yatnal must learn Indian constitution. “He has given anti-constitutional statement. A people’s representative should not be any particular community or caste’s representative,” he said.

Mr Khader also said that just by winning a poll one will not become an MLA. “After winning he should take oath in the assembly wherein he will pledge to work impartially without making any differences among people. “Oath should not be mere a jumla. We should follow it,” he said.

The minister also said that if Yatnal continues to sideline the constitutional values and refuses to do people’s work just because they don’t belong to his caste or community they can approach Congress office and get their works done.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: Congress MLA UT Khader on Wednesday slammed the Central government over the enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and said it violates the Constitution.

"The new citizenship amendment bill is unconstitutional. The citizenship cannot be given on cast and creed basis. Because of these things we are fighting against it," he said while speaking to media in Bengaluru.

Opposition along with several non-BJP state governments, including Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Kerala, Punjab and Rajasthan have refused to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed NRC in their respective states.

The CAA grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who came to India on or before December 31, 2014.

Bengaluru, Feb 16: Radhakrishnan V Nair embarked on a journey of exploring complex subjects and opening up the cocoon of existence that puts people in a zone of comfort. One sole mission of the book is to encourage the readers to break out of that comfort zone.

The architect by profession has a novel to his credit, 'The Cave of Freedom' that had earned him critical acclaim from Jnanpith Awardee UR Ananthamurthy. On February 13, a discussion and the reading of his book had the audience riveted to their seats.

The launch of the book on February 13 at Bangalore International Centre was presided over by Bhaskar Rao, Commissioner of Police, Bengaluru, along with Vasudev Murthy, Technology Management Consultant, leadership trainer and author and Ramessh RK, an industrial designer and choir singer who read out passages from the book.

'Radhakrishnan is trying to inspire you to discover the pleasure of breaking the glass barrier along with the protagonist Dr Prateek. The story 'burst out'", said Radhakrishnan when it could not be contained any longer.

The glass ceiling saw a lot of interest from the audience present. The book includes Dr Prateek who is obsessed with saving lives in the Emergency Room (ER) as the world slept. Then on an eerie rainy night, he is kidnapped.

He struggles to come to terms with the improbability of waking up somewhere in Europe and making his serendipitous escape and being back at work the next morning - all physically impossible from the point of view of time and locality.

The glass ceiling challenges you to see tragedies and their impact on a person's mental well-being from a different perspective.

Radhakrishnan V Nair is an architect by profession and runs his Bengaluru-based firm - Archaid, the tagline of which is 'Architecture in Collaboration with Nature'.
