Society should save the lives of innocent Akshatas by not producing Kartiks: GIO

Mangaluru, Feb 22: Expressing shock over the coldblooded murder of a 19-year-old BSc student by her 24-year-old classmate at Sullia in Dakshina Kannada district, Girls Islamic Organization (GIO) has exhorted the people to ponder over the ways to avert recurrence of such crimes of passion in future.

Akshata K, a student of Nehru Memorial College, Sullia was stabbed seven times on the road while returning from the college on Tuesday evening by her classmate Kartik for not accepting him as her boyfriend. She breathed her last while being taken to Mangaluru for treatment. Police have managed to arrest Kartik.

In a release issued here, Shahnaz Zainab, Dakshina Kannada district unit president of GIO, said the society should not consider the case just as a sporadic incident of crime of passion by a jilted lover. 

“We should think about the role of society in creating such a jilted lover who ruthlessly murdered a teenage girl just for turning down his proposal. The murder of Akshata should lead to a debate on the current social system that produced many such Kartiks,” she said. 

Pointing out the deteriorating moral values in the society, free intermingling between men and women, and mass media’s practice of treating woman as commodity, she said that mere punishing a pervert like Kartik will not solve the issue.

“Unless the society is morally uplifted and steps are taken to prevent the youth from turning into Kartiks, the lives of innocent girls like Akshata will not be safe,” she said.

Media portraying school time love is like must have, essential thing in students' life. If they are not getting girl for being lover (infatuation), they may go for any extreme and boys will think its normal. So should stop this kind of mentality in films and tv shows. Then it will get corrected automatically

New Delhi, Jul 21: A 42-year-old contractual doctor, who was working with Delhi government's National Health Mission, passed away yesterday due to covid-19.

Dr Javed Ali had been on the frontline in the fight against the highly contagious illness since March. He tested positive for coronavirus on June 24 and was hospitalised for treatment over the next three weeks.

For the last 10 days, he was on a ventilator. Yesterday morning, Dr Ali breathed his last at the AIIMS trauma centre. He is survived by his wife and two children - a six-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter.

"I am proud of my husband. He kept working till the end and he is a martyr. He did not take even one day off since March. He worked even on Eid," Dr Heena Kausar, his wife, told media persons.

The cost for the initial treatment at the private hospital was also borne by the family. "No treatment cost was covered when he was at a private hospital initially. We spent around Rs 6 lakh from our own pockets," she said.

Udupi, Jan 19: Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Nirmala Sitaraman has said the mutt tradition in Udupi is a unique tradition and a perfect example of the country’s rich heritage of spirituality.

Speaking at the Darbar organised for the incoming Paryaya Admar Mutt seer Sri Eeshapriya Theertha Swamiji at Rajangana, here Saturday night, she said, “Paryaya festival is not just an event. It represents the presence of the Lord. I am conscious about the history. I am immensely blessed to be associated with the Krishna Mutt in one or the other.”

She turned nostalgic and traced her connection with the Krishna mutt which started in her childhood. “I am attached to the Mutt and temple due to my maternal uncle. My uncle was a bank employee and he spent his career in Manipal. I am being drawn to the mutt for the past 25 years. I am blessed immensely by the seers of the mutt and Lord Krishna.”
