Mangalore, Jul 16: “We need to shed our laziness, inhibitions and develop attitude of questioning to bring about a revolution for Human rights and equality,” said Prof Narendra Nayak, Convener of Balakedarara Shikshana Prathishtana.

Addressing the inaugural programme of the city unit of Rashtriya Manava Hakku Balakedarara Kendra on Monday in the city, Prof Nayak said that consumer rights are similar to human rights in many ways. He said that due to lethargy and laziness of common man human rights violation has been happening persistently.

“Many a times, those who want to raise their voice against the same keep quite due to other personal commitments. We can certainly not protect our rights if we do not question,” he said.

Centre was inaugurated by Kendra's national President Shankar Shetty who said that Rashtriya Manava Hakku Balakedarara Kendra was formed in 1997 and has been connected to Human Rights Commission.

“Due to the Human Rights Commission police atrocities have been curbed to a very large extent,” he said.

Centre Mangalore Unit President U Padmanabha Shetty Niddodi welcomed the gathering.

Deeds Director Merlyn Martis, Convener of the Centre Dayananda Shetty, Vice-President Jayalakshmi S Hegde, Secretary Harish Kumar Shetty, Treasurer K M Devikiran Shetty among others were present.

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed. 

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.

Bengaluru, Jun 5: An FIR has been filed against former journalist and human rights activist Aakar Anil Patel in Bengaluru here over his comments on social media under charges pertaining to provocation with intent to cause riots.

The FIR was registered under Section 117 (abetting commission of an offence by the public or by more than ten persons), 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), and 505-1-B (intent to cause, or which is likely to cause, fear or alarm to the public, or to any section of the public) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the JC Nagar police station.

According to the FIR filed on June 2, Patel had tweeted that protests like the ones in the US over George Floyd's death are needed in India by the marginalised communities.

Patel, former chief of Amnesty International India, had on May 31 posted from his Twitter account, which is not verified.

On May 25, Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota, following which protests against police brutality and racism erupted in various cities in the United States. The protests were later replaced by incidents of violence across the country.

India also has witnessed several cases of mob lynchings and custodial deaths in recent years. In most cases victims belong to down trodden communities such as Muslims and Dalits.

Responding to the development, Amnesty International India has said that FIR against Patel is another example of how the right to dissent is being "increasingly" criminalised.

"The Bengaluru police must stop abusing its authority and put an end to the intimidation and harassment of Aakar Patel for exercising his constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression. People of this country have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests - without fear or unlawful interference," Amnesty International India Executive Director Avinash Kumar said.

He said that peacefully protesting against the government is not a crime and added that not agreeing with the policies of those in power does not make you a traitor.
