Our prophet and our duty...

Adv P A Hameed Padubidri, Riyadh

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a 'Mercy' to the whole world (Rahmathullil Aalameen). Muslims are the followers of that great 'Mercy' and they are fortunate to be his Ummath for the betterment of this life and life hereafter. He is the final messenger and "seal of prophets", whom Allah sent for the guidance of the whole mankind. 

While he was very strong in upholding and propagating the oneness of Allah as per His commandment, he was very soft in dealing with all affairs of lives of the people in both Duniya and Akhirah matters. He brought an uncivilized people into light from the darkness. He brought about a rich civilization out of his great message. That's the reason why, even his deadliest enemies used to call him as "Al-Ameen"(most trusted one). He is most unparalleled & matchless personality on the earth (Ashraful Khalq). 

As far as a Mo'min (believer) is concerned, he should be loved by him more than his self, his parents, his families, his properities, his each & everything. His teachings are our ways & lights. 

Even a single word or deed that defames or despicable his great personality is not easily digestible & it should be strongly slated & lambasted in the way as it should be. 

Our intellectual properties, tangible properties, human resources, unified strengths, powers etc. should be utilized for defending his sacred personality. But, all these should be within the Islamic & legal boundaries without harming others or damaging anything. Strong adherence to Islamic values & respect to our systems/laws should all times be remembered because the Prophet (Pbuh) is our role model for each & everything. 

Mash'Allah, that's what we observed from the good reactions of our people & others alike in Karnataka & other parts of India & gulf countries after Suvarna News TV's  Ajith Hanumakkanavar spitted the venomous bubbles against our Prophet (Pbuh). A wide protests in a legal & very democratic way are on the move in many parts of Karnataka, largely in the coastal regions of DK, Udupi, Bhatkal etc. NRI muslims & other compatriots of different faiths in gulf countries including in Saudi Arabia are also on the active mode in this regard.

We need to accelerate our agitations against his mindless remarks on organizational or individual basis (like submitting complaints, total discouraging his TV channel, filing case in courts, complaint in ministry of information & broadcasting etc.). Also we need to see him to be booked under the relevant law of the land & to be arrested. 

However, our abiding to the system/law should not be treated as weakness by any authorities & State Government. The government & concerned authorities should take this matter seriously so that peace & order shall prevail in the society. Please note that the defamatory remarks uttered by Ajith is heinous & very serious in nature. 

Let us hope for the justice and equity.

New Delhi, Apr 17: The Indian Railways turned 167 years old on Thursday and for the first time ever, its trains did not carry any passengers on its birthday and instead stood idle in the yards waiting for the nationwide lockdown to end.

On this day 167 years ago, the wheels of the first passenger train in the country from Mumbai to Thane started rolling.

In 1974, Indians experienced life without trains for the first time. In May 1974 during the strike of the railways that lasted for around three weeks, drivers, station masters, guards, track staff and many others went on 'chakka jam' demanding fixed working hours for train drivers and an across-the-board pay hike.

"I can recall those times vividly. I remember that our leader George Fernandes had almost secured a deal with the then railway minister, but it fell through when it was taken to the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi," All India Railwaymens Federation General Secretary Shiv Gopal Mishra, who was an apprentice in the railways at that time, told PTI.

"Fernandes was arrested in Lucknow. The workers went through a lot at that time. But those were days that angry workers had refused to give in and took great risks to get their demands met," he said.

However, just like this time, four decades ago too freight trains carrying essential supplies were run and the unions agreed to let some passenger trains run on the trunk routes like the Kalka Mail from Howrah to Delhi.

"Never ever in its history, there has been such a long interruption of services. Not during the World Wars, not during the 1974 railway strike, or any other national calamity or natural disaster," a railway spokesperson said.

The first Indian Railways passenger train was flagged off on April 16, 1853, from Mumbai to nearby Thane.

On Thursday, the Railway Ministry wished the railways a happy birthday on Twitter - "Today, 167 years ago with the zeal of 'never to stop' the wheels of the first passenger train from Mumbai to Thane started rolling. For the first time, passenger services are stopped for your safety. Stay indoors & make the nation victorious," it said.

Railway has suspended all passenger services since March 25 till May 3 due to the coronavirus outbreak. Around 15,523 trains run by the railways have been affected including 9,000 passenger trains and 3,000 mail express services which are run daily. It caters to over 20 million passengers every day.

According to the Union health ministry, the death toll due to coronavirus rose to 414 and the number of cases to 12,380 in the country on Thursday.

Mumbai, Jul 3: In yet another move to keep Chinese technologies companies at bay, the Centre has cancelled the 4G upgradation tender for BSNL as it has decided to come up with fresh specifications for the upgrade process, sources said.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is likely to issue a fresh tender in the next two weeks.

People in the know said that the fresh tender may not allow Chinese companies to participate and that the new tenders that will be floated in the next two weeks will emphasise on Make in India.

As the border tussle with China escalated last month and around 20 soldiers lost their lives, the government had last month asked both BSNL and MTNL not to use equipment of Chinese makers in their upgrading process to 4G facilities.

Huawei and ZTE are the major Chinese telecom equipment makers working with Indian telecom companies and they would be the hardest hit by the decision.

The impact may be felt in terms of the much-awaited 5G trials in the country. After much deliberation, the Centre last December decided to allow Huawei to take part in the 5G trials.

The cancellation of tender for BSNL's 4G upgradation comes after the Centre on Monday banned 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, WeChat and UC Browser.

A statement by the Ministry of Electronics and IT said that the decision was taken since "there is credible information that these apps are engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order".
