Protesting against discrimination Dalit IAS officer quits post, accepts Islam

December 31, 2015

Jaipur, Dec 31: Alleging that he is being "victimised" because of his Scheduled Caste origins, a senior IAS officer here has changed his religion and applied today for Voluntary Retirement from Service (VRS) in protest against the extension of tenure awarded to Chief Secretary CS Rajan.

"I am Chairman of RSRTC and Additional Chief Secretary for over the last four years and competent for the post of Chief Secretary but the present CS is given 3 months extension by the state government. Hence I cannot work under a junior," Chairman of Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation Umrao Salodiya said here.

"I was under the impression that being a member of Scheduled Caste (SC) and senior IAS officer cadre, I would be given a chance to work as Chief Secretary. I feel victimised.
Hence I submitted three months notice of VRS to the state government," the Additional Chief Secretary rank IAS officer said.

"Now the state government has to take a decision on my VRS cum protest letter within three months. However my retirement is due June, 2016," he said.

Giving another example of a case in which he filed an FIR with GandhiNagar police station against a judicial officer in 2014, he said that no action was initiated by the police.

"Now I will be called as Umrao Khan," the officer said.

"Being a Hindu and SC member, I was always victimised. Hence I converted my religion to Muslim by reading "Kalma" in a masjid but members of my family have not changed religion," he said.

When asked whether he has any plans for re-marriage with any Muslim woman/girl, he said, "No way. I have my family. I feel happy now. I am satisfied that I protested against victimisation".

Incumbent Chief Secretary C S Rajan, who was to retire today, has been given three months extension by the Raje government.

When contacted, the Department of Personnel Official said he had also heard about the matter on a TV news channel, but so far no letter landed there.

People in this Karnataka city boycott health survey mistaking it for NRC

News Network

January 3,2020

Chamarajanagar, Jan 3: The residents of Galipura layout in Chamarajanagar city boycotted the annual Community Based Survey (CBS), conducted by the Health and Family Welfare department, mistaking it to be the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Majority of the residents in the layout belong to Muslim community. The people, who mistook CBS to the NRC survey, got into arguments with the Asha workers, who were given the responsibility of collecting information. They even tore the forms into pieces and vent their ire.

The Health Department conducts CBS every year in the urban areas and collects all details including Aadhaar number, residential address, details of family members, health problems and others.

Fifteen Asha workers were deputed for the survey in the layout. A few youths started questioning them alleging it to be an NRC survey and started arguing with them.
Tahsildar Mahesh, District Health and Family Welfare Officer Dr N C Ravi, with the help of Muslim leaders cleared the confusion. The community leaders assured of explaining it to the residents and extend cooperation to the survey.

Comments

Its not the fault of the residents. Sanghis are planning to approach citizins disguised as health workers and else to get details of residents. such trouble makers should be noted and handed over to police. Police should arrest such fake people and put in jail. such fake people are trying to terrify poors and collect money assuring to help them. So, please be careful.
