March 21, 2016

New Delhi, Mar 21: Reservation for the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes and the marginalised in the country will remain untouched, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said when he delivered the Ambedkar Memorial Lecture after he laid the foundation stone for a state-of-the-art memorial for the Dalits' rights crusader in New Delhi.

Highlights

Babasaheb was the voice of the marginalised. He is a Vishwa Manav. Only talking about him with respect to India is injustice to him: PM

The way Sardar Patel worked for Political unification, Baba Saheb Ambedkar worked for social unification: PM Modi

Few people know about the reason why Dr. Ambedkar had to resign from ministry? This part of history is either forgotten or diluted: PM

When issue of equal rights to women came up, Babasaheb was clear that if women don't get equal rights I cant be a part of the ministry: PM

Baba Saheb Ambedkar was as iconic as Martin Luther King who fought for the oppressed: PM Modi

Baba Saheb was messiah of all labourers, he was the architect of foundation labour laws: PM Modi

There is a bill oB waterways in Parliament but let me tell you this vision is of Dr. Ambedkar. He believed in India's maritime strength: PM

Baba Saheb Ambedkar was as iconic as Martin Luther King who fought for the oppressed: PM Modi

Baba Saheb was messiah of all labourers; he was the architect of foundation labour laws: PM Modi

When Vajpayee ji became PM, sections started saying reservation will go. He was PM for two terms nothing of that sort happened. Nothing has ever happened to the reservation for Dalits, tribals, where we are in power but still this lies is spread to mislead. This is a right that nobody can snatch: PM speaks on reservations for SC, ST and marginalised communities: Modi

I have got an opportunity to fulfil Baba Saheb's dream. He left us in 1956. Today, after 60 years, a memorial is being set up: PM Modi

60 years have passed! I don't know how we can explain this, but we have had to wait for 60 years for this: PM Modi

New Delhi, Jun 11: Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday said the religious and constitutional rights of minorities are absolutely safe in India and it does not need any certificate from anyone as communal harmony and tolerance are in the DNA of the country and its majority community.

Comments of Rijiju, a Buddhist, came after a top Trump administration official has said that the US is very concerned about what is happening in India in terms of religious freedom.

"India doesn't need certificate on communal harmony and tolerance which is in the DNA of India and the majority community in India," Rijiju, who holds the charge of the Union minister of state for minority affairs besides being the union sports minister, said in a statement.

Rijiju said the social, religious and constitutional rights of minorities are absolutely safe in the country.

"A few politically intolerant people are trying to create an atmosphere of fear and intolerance. As a member of the minority community, I feel India is the best country in the world for the minorities," he said.

Samuel Brownback, the US Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, said on Wednesday that India has been a country area that spawned four major religions itself.

"We do remain very concerned about what's taking place in India. It's historically just been a very tolerant, respectful country of religions, of all religions," he said.

The trendlines have been troubling in India because it is such a religious subcontinent and seeing a lot more communal violence, Brownback said.

His comments came after the release of the '2019 International Religious Freedom Report'.

Mandated by the US Congress, the report documenting major instances of the violation of religious freedom across the world was released by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the State Department.

India has previously rejected the US religious freedom report, saying it sees no locus standi for a foreign government to pronounce on the state of its citizens' constitutionally protected rights.

"India is proud of its secular credentials, its status as the largest democracy and a pluralistic society with a longstanding commitment to tolerance and inclusion", the government had said earlier.

New Delhi, Mar 14: A Delhi court on Friday granted bail to three alleged members of the Popular Front of India (PFI) -- Parvez (Delhi President), Iliyas (Delhi Secretary) and Danish -- in connection with the organization's role in the northeast Delhi violence last month.

Metropolitan Magistrate Prabhdeep Kaur granted bail to all three accused on furnishing personal bail bonds of Rs 30,000 each.

The court said that "Investigating Officer (IO) has nowhere mentioned that any of the non-bailable offences has been disclosed or has come out during investigation till now, therefore, accused be enlarged on bail."

According to police, the three men were arrested for allegedly spreading fake propaganda during the anti-CAA protests.

Delhi police, while opposing bail and seeking remand, stated that police custody is required because accused were involved in a conspiracy of communal riots which resulted in the death of 50 innocent people and injuries to approximately 300 persons and huge loss of government and public properties.
