Mangalore, Feb 1: The new office of the technical wing of UK-based Atlantic Data Bureau Private Limited located at Padil in Mangalore, was inaugurated on Friday.
Speaking after inaugurating the new facility, British Deputy High Commissioner Ian Felton said that the British Government was easing VISA conditions and services to Indians especially to students who wanted to study in UK universities. The British government was looking at areas such as education and business sectors for the mutual benefit of both countries. It was also looking at encouraging educational qualifications from UK universities in professional courses, humanities, basic science streams and also in-service people with UK-based companies, especially in the IT sector. There were no limits or cap on the number of students from India going to pursue education at British universities. As much as 95 percent of business issues will be alleviated with the loosening of VISA standards, he said.
President of Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Mohammed Ameen said that the commerce bodies aimed at the development of an IT hub in Mangalore, as people were well-educated and intelligent. “Soon, KCCI will organise an IT conclave in Mangalore. We have to retain youngsters in Mangalore in order to prevent 'brain-drain' to other countries. Talks are on-going with the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) on a programme to give leverage in technology in business mode,” he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Director of Aloysius Institute of Management and IT (AIMIT) Fr Denzil Lobo said that the educational facilities created in Mangalore by various organisations and institutions were of world-class standard. To further facilitate good education, we need an upgradaded syllabus and curriculum from time to time. Foreign collaboration in this regard would provide valuable assistance, he said.
Managing Director of UK Atlantic Data Services Mark Follett and director of Atlantic Data Bureau Services Mangalore Deepak Sharma were present on the occasion.

New Delhi, Feb 4: "I own my statement," said BJP lawmaker Anant kumar Hedge on Tuesday amid the raging controversy over his remark on Mahatma Gandhi while adding that he has never said anything against the Father of the Nation.

"All related media reports are false. I never said what is being debated over. It is an unnecessary controversy. I own my statement made on February 1, 2020, in Bengaluru. I never made any reference to any political party or Mahatma Gandhi or anybody else, I was just trying to categorise freedom struggle. That's all," Hedge told news agency.

"I am surprised by the discussion around it. What can I say about something that is not there? There is hullabaloo going on without anything. My statement is available in public forum. If anyone wants to see, it is available online and on my website. Show me if I have said anything against Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru and any other freedom fighters," he added.

The BJP leader continued: "That programme was about Savarkar. With due respect of all our freedom fighters, I was just discussing our freedom struggle, there is no confusion or any derogatory comment on freedom struggle or fighters. Unnecessary nuisance has been created."

Hedge stoked a controversy after he had attacked Mahatma Gandhi by calling the freedom struggle led by him a "drama" and also questioned as to how "such people" come to be called 'Mahatma' in India.

"None of these so-called leaders was beaten up by the cops even once. Their independence movement was a big drama. It was staged by these leaders with the approval of the British. It was not a genuine fight. It was an adjustment freedom struggle," he had said.

While several Congress leaders have condemned his remark on the father of the nation, BJP leaders too has distanced themselves from it.

Top leadership in BJP is unhappy with Anantkumar Hegde over his controversial remark on Mahatma Gandhi, party sources had said on Monday, adding that he has been asked to issue an unconditional apology.
