Outsiders in Karnataka should learn Kannada: Siddaramaiah

Bangalore, Nov 1: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today said outsiders settled in Karnataka should learn local language Kannada and decried that English education system had been reduced to a commercial activity.

"Outsiders who have come and settled here have to learn the local language Kannada. It is necessary to learn local culture and language when you are utilising all the facilities from the state and reaping its benefits," said Siddaramaiah at a function organised by the state government to celebrate Karnataka's 58th "Rajyotsava" (state formation day).

At the event, Siddaramaiah said that the government would not close any Kannada schools.

"Let there be inadequate strength or any other reason, we will not close any Kannada-medium school and this is our firm stand. We will improve and develop facilities at government schools so as to create an atmosphere wherein our children will want to join them," Siddaramaiah said.

Admitting that one reason why people at large had disregard towards Kannada schools was due to the way the public education system functions, he said, "Our government has decided to take steps towards improving the quality of education in those schools."

"Unless we bring in positive changes in the way our government schools function, people will not show interest towards Kannada medium education system and they will get carried away by English medium schools," he added.

Siddaramaiah said, "Imposing any particular language or stopping any one from learning other languages is wrong. At a stage of life, our children should be provided an opportunity to select their medium of instruction, but until then it is good to provide education to them in their mother tongue."

He also said: "it is true that English is the world language, but it cannot be self imposed blindly as the language is being today learnt to reflect one's status, to add to that such is also the education provided by our English schools- which is impractical."

".... Let me reiterate we are not against English language rather our government advocates teaching of English as a language from first standard onwards."

Expressing his concern that English education system is turning out to be a business today, Siddaramaih said "No one is concerned about teaching English that is of quality and result oriented. Language has to be taught as per requirement and necessity, literature has to be taught to ones who have opted for it," he added.

He said there was a misconception that advanced science cannot be taught in other languages except English- "such thinking is impractical, we have several great scientists like CNR Rao and thinkers whose medium of instructions was their mother tongue Kannada."

While Karnataka Rajyotsava was celebrated with fervor across the state, protest marred the celebrations in Belgaum- the border district of Karnataka. Here, Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) observed it as a black day, demanding integration of Belgaum into Maharashtra.

MES leaders and followers organised a protest march and bike rally, wearing black dress and holding black flags.

‘Why job? Join anti-CAA protest, eat free Biryani’: Dubai’s NRI employer Gokhale’s response to job seeker Abdulla

News Network

January 26,2020

Newsroom, Jan 26: An Indian Muslim youth who had applied for a job in Dubai has been left aghast after his prospective employer, who happens to be an Indian, mailed back chiding him for looking for work and suggested that he should make a living (sic) by joining anti-CAA protestors in Shaheen Bagh in New Delhi.

Shaheen Bagh is the epicentre of ongoing mass demonstrations against contentious Citizenship Amendment Act.

Abdulla S.S, a 23-year-old youth from Kerala, who had applied for a mechanical engineer’s position in Dubai said he is still reeling from the shock of the email he got from UAE-based Indian expat Jayant Gokhale in response to his job application last week.

Hostile response

“Just a thought. Why u need a job? Go to Delhi and sit in Shaheen Bagh for protest. Every day you will get Rs 1000. Free food i.e Biryani, Unlimited amount of Tea and Milk, some time sweets also,” Gokhale said in the email which has since gone viral.

Scores have shared the email on social media seeking action against Gokhale who runs a consultancy in Dubai. Many said the email is offensive on two counts. First, it ridicules and discriminates a job seeker on the basis of his religious identity and, second, it undermines the credibility of Shaheen Bagh protestors by suggesting that they are being paid to sit in.

Abdullah said he’s sad and appalled. “I shared Mr Gokhale’s email with some friends. Who would have thought it would go viral. I don’t want any controversy. All I want is a job,” he was quoted as saying.

Gokhale apologises

“I am suffering from ill-health and undergoing dialysis. My email is being blown out of proportion. I didn’t mean what I wrote,” Gokhale was quoted as saying by a Gulf based newspaper.

“My message to candidate was not intended to hurt anyone in any manner or discriminate. I have already sent apology message to the concerned person [Abdullah],” he said in the email reproduced here ad verbum. “I very much value UAE’s outlook, policies and culture. I do not in anyway like to go against values of UAE. In fact I am very thankful to UAE for looking after my health,” he added.

Comments

This hate monster is commenting as if his Father and God Father are financing the people agitating agaisnt CAA/NCR. How about the bjp candidates who are distributing money among voters. Video is viral showing ladiest from bjp distributing cash to people for voting bjp in delhi election. EC should take note of this and ban bjp from contesting as its against our constitution. bjp is doing everythign agaisnt constitution and labels others as anti indians. bjp nhever honours or accept indian constitution. CAA is the proof for it. CAA is 100 perent agaisnt our constitution. Shame on you bjp. We should unite and make bjp lose all the seats.

It is no wonder that this character is undergoing Dialysis. With the hate mentality that he is carrying, it is not wonder that GOD has given him punishment in the form of non-functional kidney. His apology is fake, the moment he lands in Mubai, he wil wag his tale again in his pathological hate for Muslims while licking mUslim shit.

this type of people is very shrewed - follow RSS teaching - eating muslim nations food and blame them only.when tough time comes, start to beg again... he is one of them.. currupt mind blind bhakt.. just imagine if was not in UAE he would not even says sorry....i condemn his statement

It is really a Shameful comments of Kokhle, very bad to have such kind of people in the society, people should understand and bycot his business and seize his license.

HDK urges state and central govts to step up relief efforts for people affected by rain fury

News Network

August 7,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
