Udupi, Nov 24: Pejawar Mutt chief pontiff Vishwesha Tirtha Swami has urged the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government to either promulgate an ordinance or get a law passed in the joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for the construction of Ram Temple on the land of Babri mosque.

Speaking after felicitating activists who had participated during the so called Ayodhya Kar Seva of 1992 at the Janagraha Reception Office of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), here, the seer underscored that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government headed by PM Modi had a majority in the Lok Sabha.

“Hence, it can promulgate an ordinance for the construction of the Ram Temple. Or, it can also call a joint sitting of both the Houses of Parliament and get a law for the construction of the Ram Temple passed,” he said.

The seer said that the Opposition parties could only approach courts in the matter. “The Congress is not in a position to oppose such an ordinance as this will adversely impact it in the Parliamentary elections,” he said.

The seer said that the people of the country and the sants wanted the construction of the temple. Even the Muslims were not opposed to it. “I am sure that Mr. Modi will take a determined step on the issue and the Ram Temple will be built in a year,” he said.

Later, speaking to presspersons the seer said that there was also the third option of resolving the issue of construction of the Ram Temple through talks outside courts. All three options of ordinance, legislation and talks were democratic and could be pursued by the government.

The matter was in the Supreme Court and it would be better if it was decided expeditiously there, he said. Asked why the issue of Ram Temple was raised only when the parliamentary elections were nearing, the seer said that the matter should have been raised earlier. But now it had come to the fore. “Let it get resolved now,” he said.

Recalling the events that unfolded near the disputed structure at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992, the seer said that he had done all he could to prevent the destruction of the structure. But the Kar Sevaks were enthusiastic and demolished it. Later, when he inspected the site, he found Hindu symbols there. He was convinced that a temple existed at the site and then, he himself installed the idol of Lord Ram there, he said.

NCST urges Karnataka govt to hike quota for STs

News Network

January 10,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 10: The National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST), which met with officials of the Social Welfare Department Thursday, has urged the state government to increase the reservation provided to the ST community.

The Commission's suggestion comes even as a committee headed by Justice Nagamohan Das is currently studying a demand for increase of reservation for the community from the existing 3% to 7.5%.

Addressing mediapersons on Thursday, Commission Chairperson Nand Kumar Sai, said the Commission had discussed the issue with the Social Welfare Department, Karnataka, asking officials to expedite the process.

In response to this suggestion, Social Welfare Department Principal Secretary G Kumar Naik said the government would take a call based on the Nagamohan Das Committee's report.

A meeting was held between members of the National ST Commission and the Social Welfare Department Thursday with regard to various projects taken up by the department.

In June last year, the then Kumaraswamy-led coalition government constituted the Justice Nagamohan Das Committee, after protests from members of the Valmiki community for an increase in reservation to 7.5%. At present, Karnataka provides 15% reservation for SCs, 3% for STs and 32% for other backward classes (OBC).

The national commission also urged the state government to ensure permanent faculty in all the 824 residential institutions run by the department. At present, as much as 50% of the faculty in these institutions have been hired on a contractual basis. "We have assured that the recruitment will be done in a short time," Naik told mediapersons.

Mangaluru, June 11: The Saudi Arabia based Expertise Contracting Company, which is repatriating its employees to India and other countries, today allocated around 90 seats of one of its chartered flights to Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia.

The Gulf Air flight took off with around 175 passengers on board from Dammam International Airport around noon local time. It is expected to land at Mangaluru International Airport at around 7 p.m. Indian time.

In fact the company had chartered the flights only to repatriate its employees. However, due to the lack of special flights under Vande Bharati Mission, the company decided to help the other stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia, who had approached Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum for help.

A company official said that around 2,000 employees from various countries in the Indian subcontinent are being repatriated, of which 1,665 are Indians. Already hundreds of them have reached India, and hundreds are still waiting for repatriation.

“We are grateful to Expertise for allowing to travel in the flight which the company had chartered to repatriate its own employees,” said one of the passengers before boarding the flight at the airport.

Director of Expertise, KS Shaikh said the 20-year-old Expertise group, one of the largest conglomerates in the GCC operating in petrochemical and heavy equipment sectors, has more than 10,000 employees and their family members in the Gulf, mainly in Jubail, one of the largest industrial cities.

Of these, the company has chosen over 2,000 employees for the covid-related repatriations considering various emergencies. He said 12 chartered flights have been engaged to carry out the repatriation exercise to the Indian subcontinent.
