He was talking in seminar captioned-"Neo-Fascism & its Cultural Capture" organized December 21, at 7pm by Riyadh Indian Islahi Center at Batha in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. He inaugurated the seminar.

Continuing his talk, Dr Hussain said-"Muslims, Christians, Dalits & other backward castes including all secular minded people should come forward on minimum common programs & use their constitutional & democratic means of fight to defeat the fascist elements in India; ballot is the strong weapon to defeat such forces....".

He also stated-"In order to fight against communal forces & to trample their divisive ideas, Muslims should not resort for the same kind of approach, which would result in more damages to the community than solution; we have constitution, police, courts & other governmental machineries to restore our rights & to punish the wrongdoers; the same type of aggressions & communal ideologies is not going to benefit our community at all; this is what our Mujahid/Salafis' strong approach; we need to respect our system & at the same time, we need to combat against fascist forces, which are dangerous for the well-being of our country .....".

Mr. Jayan Kodungallur, journalist & one of the key intellectual speakers on the occasion stated-"Fascism spread its wings in all spheres in our country (India) that divide the people & is trying to spread the false propaganda; fascism is the opposite of secularism, which is embedded in our constitution & upholds the human relations..."

He also stated that fascist forces are working day & night for the division & ruling, which is the basis of fascist ideology; however, the recent election results of 5 Indian states (MP, Rajasthan, Chattisgarh, Telangana & Mizoram) shows that the secular fabrics are still alive & people are thinking towards co-existence rather than breakups. We need to have a united force based on secularism that comprised of liberal Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Dalits & others alike..".

Mr. Subramanyan, thinker and another key speaker on the dais, also highlighted the relevance of unified force in the present scenario to defeat the divisive policy of fascist forces...."

Bengaluru, Jul 10: The Karnataka cabinet gave its approval for "The Karnataka Contingency Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2020" to enhance the contingency fund limit to Rs 500 crore in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This will be an ordinance making one time enhancement in the limit as the government needs money to make payments immediately, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister JC Madhuswamy told reporters after a cabinet meeting.

Under the contingency fund, the government had room to spend up to Rs 80 crore without budget provision.

"...but this time due to COVID-19 as we had to give money to some sections that were in distress like barbers, flower and vegetable growers, taxi drivers, among others, we have decided to increase the limit to Rs 500 crore," Mr Madhuswamy said.

"As assembly was not in session and as we had to make payments to those in distress immediately, this decision has been taken," he added.

The cabinet today ratified the administrative approval given to carry out civil and electrical works to install medical gas pipeline with high flow oxygen system at district hospitals, taluk and community health centres coming under Health and Family welfare department in view of COVID-19.

The minister said about Rs 207 crore is being approved for this purpose.

It also ratified procurement of medical equipment and furniture for public healthcare institutions of the health and family welfare department worth Rs 81.99 crore.

According to the minister, the cabinet has decided to bring in an amendment to section 9 of the Lokayukta act, which mandates that the preliminary inquiry contemplated by Lokayukta or Upalokayuta should be completed in 90 days and charge sheeting should be completed within six months.

Noting that at the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) cess was being collected, he said as the government had brought in an amendment to the APMC act, there was demand to reduce the market cess. "So we have reduced it from 1.5 per cent to one per cent."

Approval has also been given by the cabinet to bring Karnataka Vidyuth Kharkane (KAVIKA) and Mysore Electrical Industries (MEI), which are presently under the control of Commerce and Industries department, under administrative control of the energy department.

Other decisions taken by the cabibinet include deployment and implementation of "e-procurement 2.0" project on PPP at a cost of Rs 184.37 crore and ratification of the action taken to issue orders on March 24 to release interest free loan of Rs 2,500 crore to ESCOMs for payment of outstanding power purchase dues to generating companies.

The cabinet also gave administrative approval for setting up of an Indian Institute of Information technology at Raichur.

"Under this, we are committed to provide Rs 44.8 crore in four years for infrastructure," the minister added.
