MP Kateel failed to implement Centre’s projects in DK, says MLC

January 13, 2016

Mangaluru, Jan 13: Member of Legislative Council Ivan D’Souza said MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has failed to implement the Union government-sponsored projects, including the railway projects, effectively in the district.

kateel Briefing media persons here recently, he said there is no proposal before the Southern Railway to upgrade Mangaluru Central Railway Station into a world-class railway station as announced by the then Union minister for railways Mamatha Banerjee in the 2009 railway budget.

D’Souza, who is also the State government representative in Zonal Railway Users' Consultative Committee, said the world-class railway station project announced in the budget has not been taken up till now.

The MLC, who attended the committee meeting held in Chennai on January 6, said the Railways has been ignoring the demands of the people of the region. “Even the MP has failed pursue the proposals with the Railways. The demands, like setting up of separate Mangaluru division, upgradation of railway station and extension of a few trains originating from Mangaluru Junction have not been fulfilled,” he claimed.

“When I raised the issue of converting Mangaluru Central Railway Station into a world-class railway station at the committee meeting, the General Manager of the Southern Railway said that there was no such concept on world-class railway station. The railways never implemented any such proposals of developing a railway station anywhere in the country. Only necessary infrastructure will be developed at Mangaluru railways stations,” he said.

He said the demand to increase the number of stoppages for Mangaluru Mangaluru Central - Madgaon Intercity Express, extension of the train to Dadar, and others have been ignored by the railways.

He said the officials at the meeting told him that extension of train services comes under the purview of the Railway Board and it needs to be taken up by the Konkan and Central Railways. He said he had sought the extension of Mangaluru Central - Madgaon Intercity Express up to Dadar.

To another query on operation of a new night train between Mangaluru and Bengaluru via Hassan, the officials said it is not feasible due to infrastructure constraints.

“MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, who is representing Dakshina Kannada district, should bring the issue to the notice of the Railway Ministry. He should question the ministry officials as to why the proposal on world -class railway station is not being taken up,” D’Souza said.

“The MP is not serious on issues related to railways. Apart from this, the problems related to national highway and upgradation of Nanthoor Circle have also not been taken up. The MP has failed to coordinate between the Union and the State government’s implementing agencies on the development works related to railways and national highway projects,” the MLC charged.

Sedition charges against Dr Zafarul Islam Khan for warning bigots sparks row

coastaldigest.com web desk

May 2,2020

Newsroom, May 2: The Delhi Police’s move to book Delhi Minorities Commission chairman Zafarul Islam Khan under sedition charges over his social media statement condemning Hindutva bigots has raised many eyebrows.

A pubic statement has been issued in solidarity with Zafarul Islam Khan by a group of NGOs and citizens which condemned the media trial targeting Khan.

The statement demanded legal action against those who are distorting Khan's Facebook post and spreading false propaganda against him.

Delhi Police Special Cell registered the FIR against Khan on the complaint of a Vasant Kunj resident. The complaint came to the Lodhi Colony office of the special cell, after the assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Safdarjung Enclave forwarded it.

The investigation has been handed over to special cell inspector Praveen Kumar.

According to the FIR, Khan has been booked under several sections of the Indian Penal Code -- 124 A (sedition) and 153 A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc,).

Khan on April 28 had posted controversial comments on his Facebook page. "Mind you, bigots, Indian Muslims have opted until now not to complain to the Arab and Muslim world about your hate campaigns and lynchings and riots. The day they are pushed to do that, bigots will face an avalanche," Khan had written on Facebook.

However, the Delhi Minorities Commission's chief on Friday had apologised for his controversial remark and had said that he never tried to tarnish the image of India. He also removed the controversial post from the social media and issued a prolonged clarification.

NRI loses job in UAE over Facebook post blaming Muslims for corona

News Network

May 18,2020

Dubai, May 18: An Indian working in a mining company in the UAE has become the latest expatriate to have lost his job for hate-filled social media posts targeting Islam and Muslims.

Brajkishore Gupta was fired without notice for calling Indian Muslims 'coronavirus spreaders' and hailing the Delhi violence as 'divine justice' in his Facebook posts.

Gupta, who is from Chapra, Bihar, was employed by Stevin Rock, a mining company headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah city.

"This isolated incident involving a junior employee was investigated and dealt with immediately resulting in the termination without notice of this person's employment with Stevin Rock," said the company's business development and exploration manager Jean-Francois Milian.

"Our company policy supports the direction of the UAE government in promoting tolerance and equality and strongly renouncing racism and discrimination and we have sent communications to all of our employees irrespective of their religious or ethnic background reminding them that any such behaviour is unacceptable and will lead to immediate dismissal," Milian was quoted as saying in the report.

Three Indians based in the UAE were either fired or suspended from their jobs for "Islamophobic" posts on social media early this month.

On April 20, India's ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor had warned Indian expatriates against such behaviour.

"India and UAE share the value of non-discrimination on any grounds. Discrimination is against our moral fabric and the Rule of law. Indian nationals in the UAE should always remember this," he said in a tweet.

Last month, Sharjah-based businessman Sohan Roy had to apologise for "unintentionally hurting religious sentiments" through his poem, which alluded to a Muslim religious group.

In March, chef Trilok Singh was fired from a restaurant in Dubai for an online threat against a student in Delhi over her views on the Citizenship Amendment Act.
