Talent Milad awards given away

March 20, 2011
Mangalore, March 20: Working towards strengthening the relationship between people of different faiths and establishing communal harmony is the need of the hour, said Mangalore MLA UT Khader.



He was speaking at the Talent Milad Awards ceremony organised under the auspices of Talent Research Foundation, a city based philanthropic organisation at Town Hall here on Sunday.



As many as 92 achievers were conferred the awards, which a citation, a memento and cash. The organisers have shortlisted one person each from Hindu, Muslim and Christian community considering their achievements in 28 different areas. All the awards were named after prominent Muslim personalities and social workers of coastal Karnataka, who expired in the recent past.



Khader said we should strive to practically set an example for the entire society and country by upholding communal harmony, which is necessary for a multicultural society.



Entrepreneur Dayanada Pai hailed TRF for recognising the achievements of commoners. “Achievements of great personalities will easily be recognised by all, but, no one will recognise the hidden talent of common people and their achievements in their concerned fields,” he said adding that TRF, unlike other organisations, has taken a step forward to recognise the deserved people for awards.



Veteran artiste and Mannd Sobhann Gurkaar Eric Ozario said that TRF has done a commendable job by honouring those achievers, who never aspired for any award or recognition in the public. Moreover, it has practically set the best ever example for communal harmony and mutual respect between different communities, which is indeed a difficult task.
Fr John Fernandes, Professor and Head of Chair in Christian Studies at Mangalore University, activist Sumathi V Shenoy and philanthropist Abdul Khader Haji were among the awardees.



On the occasion, the official website of the TRF was launched by Bunt leader and philanthropist Ajith Kumar Rai Maladi.


Abdul Rauf Puthige, TRF Chairman, presided over the programme. Muhammad Rafeeq, Advisor of TRF delivered the introductory address and introduced the awardees.



Writer Abdul Khader Kukkila, Sathish Shetty Kaup, Lion Chandra Mohan MJF, Susheel S Bangera, Mansoor Ahmad, Ahmed Shareef, B Basheer, Khairunnisa Sayyad, Shahanaz M, Umar Farooq and Salma Umar Puthige were among those present.

New Delhi, Feb 4: "I own my statement," said BJP lawmaker Anant kumar Hedge on Tuesday amid the raging controversy over his remark on Mahatma Gandhi while adding that he has never said anything against the Father of the Nation.

"All related media reports are false. I never said what is being debated over. It is an unnecessary controversy. I own my statement made on February 1, 2020, in Bengaluru. I never made any reference to any political party or Mahatma Gandhi or anybody else, I was just trying to categorise freedom struggle. That's all," Hedge told news agency.

"I am surprised by the discussion around it. What can I say about something that is not there? There is hullabaloo going on without anything. My statement is available in public forum. If anyone wants to see, it is available online and on my website. Show me if I have said anything against Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru and any other freedom fighters," he added.

The BJP leader continued: "That programme was about Savarkar. With due respect of all our freedom fighters, I was just discussing our freedom struggle, there is no confusion or any derogatory comment on freedom struggle or fighters. Unnecessary nuisance has been created."

Hedge stoked a controversy after he had attacked Mahatma Gandhi by calling the freedom struggle led by him a "drama" and also questioned as to how "such people" come to be called 'Mahatma' in India.

"None of these so-called leaders was beaten up by the cops even once. Their independence movement was a big drama. It was staged by these leaders with the approval of the British. It was not a genuine fight. It was an adjustment freedom struggle," he had said.

While several Congress leaders have condemned his remark on the father of the nation, BJP leaders too has distanced themselves from it.

Top leadership in BJP is unhappy with Anantkumar Hegde over his controversial remark on Mahatma Gandhi, party sources had said on Monday, adding that he has been asked to issue an unconditional apology.

Kalaburagi, Feb 16: Fourteen years of life in jail has not deterred Subhash Patil from fulfilling his dream of becoming a doctor.

The 40-year-old man from Afzalpura in Karnataka's Kalaburagi was put behind bars in a murder case while doing MBBS in 1997.

Speaking to media, Patil said, "I joined MBBS in 1997. But, I was jailed in a murder case in 2002. I worked at the jail's OPD and was released in 2016 for good conduct. I completed my MBBS in 2019."

Earlier this month, Patil completed a one-year mandatory internship for getting the MBBS course degree.

Police arrested Patil in 2002 in a murder case when he was in his third year of MBBS course. A court sentenced him to life imprisonment in 2006.

He was put behind bars but he did not give up his childhood dream of becoming a doctor.

In 2016, police released Patil on Independence day for his good conduct.
