Kalaburagi MP Umesh Jadhav demands sacking of TN & Karnataka Ministers Udhayanidhi Stalin & Priyank Kharge for hurting religious sentiments of 110 cr Sanatana Dharma followers. Jadhav urges AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge to clarify stand on statement & views on Sanatana Dharma. Rajkumar Patil Telkur demands apology from Ministers.
Kalaburagi MP Umesh Jadhav has demanded that Tamil Nadu Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, who called for eradication of Sanatana Dharma like dengue and malaria, and Karnataka Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge, who endorsed the former’s remarks, should be sacked from the respective Cabinet.
Addressing presspersons in Kalaburagi on Thursday, Dr. Jadhav said that for the statement made by both these Ministers, Mr. Stalin and Mr. Kharge should be dropped from the Cabinet for hurting the religious sentiments of more than 110 crore people who follow Sanatana Dharma in India.
Dr. Jadhav said that he has written to the Governor against Mr. Kharge demanding that he be sacked from the Cabinet.
The Constitution guarantees to every citizen the liberty to follow the religion of his choice. One cannot show disrespect towards any religion, Dr. Jadhav added.
Mr. Stalin belongs to Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), which is a part of INDIA bloc.
AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, who is leading the INDIA alliance, should clarify his stand on the statement made by Mr. Stalin and Priyank Kharge calling for eradication of Sanatana Dharma like dengue and malaria. Mallikarjun Kharge should also make clear his views about Sanatana Dharma, Dr. Jadhav added.
Meanwhile, the former legislator Rajkumar Patil Telkur said that the Congress and its alliance parties are targeting Hindus by hurting their religious sentiments. Mr. Telkur demanded that Mr. Stalin and Priyank Kharge tender unconditional apology to the people of the country for hurting their religious sentiments.
“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
