Chandigarh, Jun 26: Three days after 16-year old Muslim boy Junaid was lynched by a mob on board a moving train in Haryana, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar broke silence on Monday finally condemning the incident. Khattar has been silent on the incident all these days even as he was active tweeting on various other issues, including congratulating his counterpart in Uttarakhand on completing 100-days in power.cm

On Monday he said the state government has already provided financial assistance of Rs 10 lakh to the victim’s family. He said while the police have arrested one accused involved in the Junaid killing case, a search was on to nab the other accused.

Khattar said this on the sidelines of a meeting held under the chairmanship of the union minister of state for skill development and entrepreneurship Rajiv Pratap Rudy. Khattar urged people to maintain peace. According to reports, not a single BJP leader has visited the family of the accused.

Meanwhile, village Khandoa near Ballabhgarh in Haryana, the native place of Junaid, observed a Black Eid today in protest. In fact, almost all area in Muslim dominated Haryana, including Mewat and Alwar observed a 'Black Eid'. Eid prayers were a low-key affair. Muslims wore black bands in protest. Families are protesting being labelled as ‘slaughterers of cows’. In fact, early this month as a goodwill gesture over half a dozen Iftaar parties were held in Muslim dominated Mewat during Ramzan where cow milk was used to prepare dishes.

On Saturday, one person identified as Ramesh was arrested by the police in connection with the murder of Junaid. He confessed to beef bigotry and said he was in an inebriated state and was instigated by his friends to beat up the Muslim youth. The accused said he was not the one who made the beef slur at the Muslim youth. Instead, he said, ‘his friends did’.

No visit by Government officials or politicians suggests the actions are state sponsored. Steadfastness and perseverance shall prevail

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.

New Delhi, Apr 27: Indian prime minister Narendra Modi has said the monthlong ongoing lockdown has yielded positive results and that the country has managed to save “thousands of lives”.

Modi, who had a videoconference with various heads of the states on Monday, said the impact of the coronavirus, however, will remain visible in the coming months, according to a press statement released by his office. On the issue of getting back Indians who are overseas, the Prime Minister said that this has to be done keeping in mind the fact that they don’t get inconvenienced and their families are not under any risk.

During the meeting with state heads, Modi advocated for social distancing of at least 6 feet and the use of face masks as a rapid response to tackle COVID-19.

He said that states should put their efforts of converting hotspots, or red zones, into “orange and thereafter green zones”.

India last week eased the lockdown by allowing shops to reopen and manufacturing and farming activities to resume in rural areas to help millions of poor, daily-wage earners. But the economic costs of the nationwide lockdown continue to mount in a country of 1.3 billion people.

Modi, who put India under a strict lockdown on March 25, did not say if the lockdown restrictions will extend after May 3.

India has confirmed over 27,000 cases of the coronavirus, including 872 deaths.
