Rai to lead ‘harmony walk’ sans BJP, SDPI on Dec 12 in ‘communal hub’

B Ramanath Rai, Minister for Forest, Ecology, Environment and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge will lead a 'Samarasyada Nadige' (harmony march) on December 12 from Farangipete to Mani in Bantwal taluk in Dakshina Kannada district to create awareness against communal forces.

The move comes at a time when it has been more than three months since peace has been restored in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada, which was witness to communal flare ups in the months of July and August.

Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on Wednesday, Mr Rai said that the walk would be apolitical in nature. All outfits and organisations, except the BJP and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), would be welcome to take part in it, he said.

He went on to call Dakshina Kannada district a hub of communal forces. "It hurts me to acknowledge that Dakshina Kannada has become a hub for communal forces," he said.

The minister had made a similar announcement a few months ago when tension had escalated following stone pelting during the funeral procession of the slain RSS worker Sharath Madivala in Bantwal.

While the walk was scheduled to take off on September 12, Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy had stalled it citing the prevalence of prohibitory orders. The government had also refused permission for the BJP's 'Mangaluru Chalo' bike rally.

"As the walk was cancelled last time around owing to prohibitory orders, it has been decided to resume it now," he said. Interestingly, Rai chose an apolitical programme to air his views on the "volatility" in Dakshina Kannada.

Rai was participating in an interaction session with children of forest dwellers, organised by the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

Dear Mr. Rai, with due respect, you and your party before flagging off the rally must answer the following questions to the general public!

1) you and your party won many times and even ruled undivided DK District but, why have you failed to controll the RSS and its hate campaign aginst a particular community???

 

2) During the last assemble election you have made public that once you got elected, you will send prabahkar bhat to jail! what action have you taken??

3) your own party worker late mr. Jaleel karopadi murdered by RSS Goons, what action and  justice you have done to his father? who openly cried for justice and in anger he critisized you for failing to provide him justice!

4) under your constituency there were many muslim leaders and activists murder happend were were you that time?

5) the national tragedy of Babri masjid was demolished under congress rule and your national leadership maintained the soft hindutva, why have your party failed to protect it ..?

6) your national leadership had once said we will give justice to muslim community, and will rebuild babri masjid, being in a power for more than 10 years  why your party couldnt provide the justice to the victims??? 7) your party have appointed the sri krishna commission! what action your party implimented against the hindutva brigade?? 

 

8) you and your party claims that, we are the protector of minority community! what protection you and your party provided for indian muslims?? since 70 years they have been looted, burnt alive, raped,tortured, made refugees, made scape-goat as terrors, etc etc ???

during all those time indian muslims dedicated their trust on all the so called secular partys, but all of them ditched to the community and maintained soft hindutva!

The anger, Disappointment, Frustration, and the Thawakkul on allah made to born SDPI on indian soil..!! that is the reality, that nobody cannot deny!!

Your Failure is SDPI's Stength, and SDPI's Success is indian oppressed community's success..!!

Bengaluru, Mar 5: The Karnataka government has constituted a competent authority for I Monetary Advisory (IMA) cases under the KPIDFE (Karnataka Protection of Interest of Depositors in Financial Establishments) Act, 2004, which is required to call claims from erstwhile depositors of the IMA group of entities under the provisions of the Act, said Harsh Gupta, Special Officer and Competent Authority for IMA cases.

In order to ensure transparency and to avoid harassment to the claimants, an online application software has been developed for accepting claims from the depositors, Gupta stated.

"The claim application can be filed from any of Banglore-1, Karnataka-1 and Seva-Sindhu Kendras of the state government in person or through online. The required documents can be submitted using e-attestation along with claims or at a later date, but prior to the claim settlement. The details of authorities for e-attestation will be informed later," the official stated.

The claimants will have to provide Aadhaar authentication based identification or identification by the designated officer based on alternate documents; current mobile number and address among others.

The details of the draft claim filing process has been put for public feedback on website 'imaclaims.karnataka.gov.in'. The depositors can give their feedback on the website, WhatsApp number or email, Gupta stated.

Based on feedback received from the depositors, the claim process and the claim application software will be finalised, the official said and further informed that the start date for acceptance of claims will be informed through wide publicity at a later date.

"There will be a total time period of 30 days for submission of the claims from the start date of acceptance of claims," Gupta said.

An SIT was investigating the multi-crore IMA Jewels case, where the firm had allegedly cheated a large number of investors after promising them impressive returns on their deposits. The SIT has already arrested several government officials and questioned others including politicians in the matter.

The prime accused and Managing Director of IMA Mohammed Mansoor Khan, who had fled the country after several complaints were registered against him in connection with the scam, has also been arrested.

The state government had constituted an SIT to probe the scam when it first came to light in June earlier this year when more than 4,000 investors trooped outside the showroom after an audio clip purportedly recorded by Khan went viral.

New Delhi, Jul 9: The Central Board of Secondary Education has strongly defended its decision to drop topics like democratic rights, citizenship, federalism, secularism etc in the name of reducing the syllabus for Classes 9 to 12 due to COVID-19 pandemic. 

The board has claimed that the dropped lessons "are either being covered by the rationalised syllabus or in the Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT".

The CBSE said it had to come up with the clarification after realizing its decision was "interpreted differently".

"The rationalisation of syllabus up to 30 per cent has been undertaken by the Board for nearly 190 subjects of class 9 to 12 for the academic session 2020-21 as a one-time measure only. The objective is to reduce the exam stress of students due to the prevailing health emergency situation and prevent learning gaps," it said.

While it has said that no questions can be asked from the reduced syllabus in the next board exams, the CBSE has also directed schools to follow alternative calendars prepared by the NCERT.

"Therefore each of the topics that have been wrongly mentioned in media as deleted have been covered under Alternative Academic Calendar of NCERT which is already in force for all the affiliated schools of the Board," it clarified.

On Wednesday, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee tweeted: "Shocked to know that the central Government has dropped topics like citizenship, federalism, secularism and partisan in the name of reducing CBSE course during the COVID crisis."

"We strongly object to this and appeal the HRD Ministry to ensure these vital lessons aren't curtailed at any cost," Banerjee added.

Bengaluru, July 31: Denying irregularities in covid-19 equipment purchase by the Karnataka government, the state unit of the BJP has issued legal notices to Congress leaders Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar demanding that they apologize or face a defamation suit. 

The notices seek a public apology for the allegations levelled against the government on irregularities in the procurement of Covid-19 equipment and supplies. 

Both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, the Karnataka Congress president, have been doggedly pursuing allegations of corruption against the BJP government and have demanded a judicial inquiry. 

BJP general secretary N Ravi Kumar said that while the Congress leaders claimed that Rs 4,157 crore was spent during Covid-19, they also allege that the government has not responded to any of the 20 letters written by them. "If the government has not provided any answer to the Opposition, where did they get the figures from," he said.

None of the allegations of corruption is specific and the statements made are factually incorrect. "These statements, without any basis, have been issued calculatedly to lower the image and damage the reputation of the government, the Bharatiya Janata Party, representatives of the party and the ministers in the government," the notice issued on behalf of Ravi Kumar read.
