After ‘Sneha Yatra’ on Easter, Kerala BJP workers to meet Muslims on Eid

[ad_1]
Thiruvananthapuram: BJP workers in Kerala will visit the residences of Muslim community members in the state to exchange greetings on the occasion of Eid next week, a party source said on Wednesday.
The party had last Sunday conducted “Sneha Yatra”, reaching out to Christians on the occasion of Easter.
The decision to reach out to Muslims on the occasion of Eid was taken at the BJP’s state core committee meeting held in Kochi on Wednesday, the source said here.

At the meeting, the BJP’s Kerala in-charge Prakash Javadekar congratulated the party’s state unit for reaching out to Christians to greet them on Easter.
He informed the meeting that Narendra Modi strongly believes that Indians are beyond caste, religion, and regional thinking, and directed them to work hard to realise the prime minister’s idea of uniting everyone, the source told PTI.
At the meeting, Javadekar directed the BJP workers to celebrate the “Vishu” with everyone on Saturday and also visit Muslim houses to exchange greetings on Eid next week, the source said.
The source also said that the prime minister’s visit to a Church in New Delhi on the occasion of Easter has helped “demolish the propaganda” by the Congress and the Left parties that the BJP was against the minorities.

Nitish reaches Delhi to meet opposition leaders, starts with Lalu Prasad

[ad_1]
Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who reached New Delhi on Tuesday to discuss the current political situation with opposition leaders, met RJD national President Lalu Prasad Yadav at the official residence of his daughter and Rajya Sabha member Misa Bharti.
JD-U national President Lalan Singh and Bihar Minister Sanjay Jha were also present at the meeting.
Nitish Kumar is on a three-day tour to New Delhi to meet opposition leaders of the country including Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, party President Mallikarjun Kharge and other leaders and prepare a plan for the Lok Sabha election.

After the formation of Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar, he had urged Congress top leadership to take initiative in this matter as quickly as possible.
Nitish Kumar himself claimed last week that he had a telephonic conversation with Kharge, who had reportedly invited Nitish Kumar for a meeting to discuss the future plan of action in Bihar.
Bihar is crucial for the Narendra Modi government as it has 40 Lok Sabha seats. As the BJP is not ruling in the state, it would not be easy for it to succeed here.
The Bihar Chief Minister had also said that he will go to Delhi after the state Assembly’s Budget session, which concluded last week.
Nitish Kumar has been advocating opposition unity ever since he formed the government in Bihar with the Mahagathbandhan. During his visit to the national capital in September last year, he had met Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Arvind Kejriwal, D. Raja, Sitaram Yechuri and Akhilesh Yadav, a majority of whom he is likely to meet this time as well.

Meet IAS, IPS officers who resigned from service to become entrepreneurs

[ad_1]
The Indian Administrative Service (IAS) is one of the most coveted careers in India, offering a lifetime of stability and prestige. However, some officers choose to quit the service to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. Here are some of the IAS and IPS officers who resigned from service to become entrepreneurs.
Roman Saini: Youngest IAS officer in 2014
Roman Saini, the youngest IAS officer at the time, cracked the UPSC Civil Services Exam in his first attempt in 2014. Before that, he cleared the AIIMS entrance examination at the age of 16 years and completed his MBBS. After becoming doctor, he served as a Junior Resident at NDDTC in Psychiatry.
He resigned from the Junior Resident post after being appointed as a collector in Madhya Pradesh.

Later, he quit the service too to become an entrepreneur. He founded Unacademy, an online coaching platform that offers classes for competitive exams.
Police Commissioner to Entrepreneur
Rajan Singh, who served as the Thiruvananthapuram police commissioner for three years during his eight-year service, resigned to enter the corporate world.
In 2016, he launched ConceptOwl, an online learning platform that prepares students for entrance exams.
Quit IAS office post to provide affordable healthcare
Syed Sabahat Azim, a doctor by profession, became an IAS officer of the 2000 batch.
However, he later quit the service and launched Glocal Healthcare Systems, a healthcare chain that provides affordable healthcare.

Glocal runs a chain of 11 hospitals in the country.
Transition from civil services to private sector
Vivek Kulkarni, a member of the 1979 batch of IAS officers, made the transition from civil services to the private sector.
He co-founded Brickwork India, which provides virtual assistants to multinational companies.
In 2007, he also founded Brickwork Ratings, an RBI-accredited credit rating agency.
IAS officer to Sabziwala
Pravesh Sharma, who belonged to the 1982 batch of IAS officers, voluntarily retired from the service in 2016 to start Sabziwala, a chain of retail fruits and vegetables.
The aim of the startup is to ensure fair prices for everyone.
These former IAS officers have proven that there is life beyond the civil service. They quit their jobs to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.

Amritpal case: SGPC lawyers meet 8 people in Assam’s jail

[ad_1]
Amritsar: Lawyers of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee on Monday met the eight people detained in Assam’s Dibrugarh jail under the stringent National Security Act after they were nabbed following a crackdown by Punjab Police against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and his aides.
The SGPC is pursuing cases of the eight people who have been detained under the NSA.
SGPC member and senior advocate Bhagwant Singh Sialka led the delegation, including advocates Mandeep Singh Sidhu and Rohit Sharma, to Assam.

SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami said following the order of the Jathedar of Akal Takht, the cases of youths imprisoned under the NSA at Dibrugarh are being pursued.
He said SGPC’s legal experts have started their work after visiting the ground.
He informed that legal aid is being provided to the eight people detained at Dibrugarh.
He further said the legal team has prepared a further course of action after meeting the arrested youths and officials of the Dibrugarh jail administration.
Sialka said the District Legal Services Authority and Dibrugarh Bar Association along with local lawyers have supported the SGPC legal team in submitting an application to the Dibrugarh jail administration to meet the eight detained youths.

Advocate Mandeep Singh said the detention orders of the youths and other necessary documents have been provided to the SGPC legal team by jail administration, following which further legal proceedings will be continued.
The Punjab Police had sent eight persons, including Daljeet Kalsi and Basant Singh, to the Dibrugarh jail after charging them under the NSA following a crackdown against preacher Amritpal and his aides.
The Jathedar of Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, had recently asked the state government to revoke the detention of some persons under the NSA and demanded that those who have been sent to Dibrugarh jail in Assam should be brought back to Punjab so that law can take its own course.

Watch: Telangana min Harish Rao drives rickshaw to Siddipet Auto Society meet

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Dressed in an auto driver’s uniform, driving an autorickshaw, Telangana finance minister T Harish Rao arrived at the Siddipet Auto Credit Cooperative Society meeting to express solidarity with the auto driver community.
Lauding the services rendered by the auto drivers, the minister addressed them as brand ambassadors of Siddipet as they carry out multiple tasks from taking tourists safely to their destinations, tour guiding them while they are on their way and also in many cases shifting injured passengers to hospitals before the ambulance arrives.
While addressing auto drivers and their family members to mark the fourth anniversary of the society, Harish Rao said that the society was increasing the credit limit to Rs 15,000 from the existing Rs 10,000, besides enhancing the marriage incentive to Rs 5,000 from the current Rs 3,500.

Harish Rao also declared setting up a petrol bunk for the auto drivers society so that they could get petrol at cheaper rates and assured them of a permanent building in addition to setting up an auto nagar.
He stated that auto drivers earlier blended money from private money lenders by paying a huge interest rate, until four years ago. The minister said that the society has helped the drivers consolidate financially in the last four years.
Harish Rao further promised prize money of Rs 25,000 for children of auto drivers if they scored 10 out of 10 GPA in the SSC examination.
69 super specialists to be recruited as patients flood medical college hospital in Nizamabad
Harish Rao on Sunday said that the Nizamabad Government Medical College will soon be allocated 29 senior doctors who will provide super speciality services to cater to the increasing number of patients in the district.
“Telangana government will recruit 40 specialised doctors to work in various departments in Mahabubnagar Government Medical College and Hospital, in view of the patient inflow increasing,” he said.

Remarking that patients were earlier forced to go to big cities for quality medical care, the mister said that with new medical colleges and super speciality hospital services made available for the people in every district, the issue has been tackled.
“As part of this endeavour, the state government will soon open nine more medical colleges this year, in addition to the 17 such existing colleges,” Harish said.
Emphasising the availability of seats to medical students, the minister said, “Telangana has become a role model for the country in the field of healthcare. Also, people’s trust in government hospitals has increased significantly.”

After LS disqualification, Rahul’s first public meet postponed to April 16

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s event, which was supposed to take place on April 10 has been postponed further and now it will be held on April 16 at Kolar, Karnataka Congress unit president D K Shivakumar said on Saturday.
Gandhi had planned to address people on April 10 at the same place where his speech during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections had led to his disqualification from the lower house of the Parliament, Shivakumar told reporters here.
However, due to the Assembly election-related works and the selection of candidates, the party leaders requested he extends it by a week.

“We had requested Rahul Gandhi to extend the public meeting by a week and he gave his consent. Gandhi and all leaders will come on April 16 for the Jai Bharat event at Kolar,” Shivakumar said.
He added that this will be Gandhi’s first public address in Kolar after his disqualification from the Lok Sabha. He also said that Gandhi’s disqualification was an insult to democracy.
“Cancelling the Lok Sabha membership of Rahul Gandhi, who had won with a margin of seven lakh votes, is an insult to the entire democracy,” Shivakumar said.
According to Congress sources, Gandhi’s event was earlier planned on April 5, which was changed to April 6. Then it was again planned on April 9, which clashed with Prime Minister’s Project Tiger event in Mysuru. The date was then rescheduled to April 10 and now once again it has been postponed to April 16.

MHA, IB Team To Review Security Arrangements For G20 Meet

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: A team consisting of officials from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) arrived in Srinagar today to inspect the arrangements for the upcoming G20 meeting in Jammu and Kashmir, as well as the security situation in the region. This visit will be followed by a two-day meeting in New Delhi on April 15 and 16, where the Jammu and Kashmir security scenario, with specific reference to the G20 meeting scheduled for May in Srinagar, will be discussed.
According to official sources, the Ministries of External Affairs and Home, along with the Jammu and Kashmir Government, are working to ensure a peaceful G20 meeting in Srinagar. They have taken steps to make security arrangements well in advance to prevent any untoward incidents in the Valley.
“In light of the security concerns, a team of senior officers from the MHA and IB arrived in Srinagar today and immediately held discussions with top police and intelligence officials to assess the security situation,” sources said, as per media reports.
“The Intelligence agencies have received information that the militants and their handlers in Pakistan are frustrated due to the successful elimination of militants, particularly their top commanders, and are unable to carry out attacks in the Valley. However, there is a possibility that they may resort to attacking soft targets prior to the G20 meeting, which is a significant international event in the region,” they added.
The MHA and IB team, as per sources, will meet with senior civil and police officials to comprehensively finalize security arrangements ahead of and during the G20 meeting in the entire Jammu and Kashmir region, particularly in the Valley. The summit venue and the locations visited by G20 delegates will be placed under a 24×7 security net almost a week before the scheduled summit date. Along with the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) will provide security for the venue, places visited by delegates, and other vulnerable areas where militants could target. As per sources, all such areas will be fully secured.

According to sources, both the Central and Jammu and Kashmir Governments are committed to ensuring foolproof security arrangements for the upcoming G20 meeting. The visiting team, comprising officials from the MHA and IB, will also assess the general security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Intelligence agencies have expressed concerns about the possibility of militants striking in the lead-up to the summit, particularly in districts with little militant presence. The team is working to prevent any such incidents from occurring.
After the team returns to New Delhi, the MHA is likely to review the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir on April 15 and 16,” sources said. “The meeting will cover topics such as the G20 summit and the upcoming annual pilgrimage to the Amarnath shrine.

Despite the fact that the SASB has yet to announce dates for the pilgrimage, rumors suggest that the Yatra may last around 60 days this year. As a result, additional paramilitary forces may need to be deployed by the Union Home Ministry. Top civil and police officials from the Jammu and Kashmir Government are regularly reviewing all aspects of the G20 summit, including security, accommodation, and places to visit.
