0

Shivamogga, Karnataka – April 22, 2024 :- In a significant development, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced today that the investigation into the tragic murder of Neha Hiremath in Hubballi will be handed over to the Crime Investigation Department (CID). Furthermore, a special court will be established to ensure the swift adjudication of the case.

Neha Hiremath, a 23-year-old student and daughter of a Congress councillor, was fatally stabbed on the campus of BVB College last Thursday. The prime suspect, Fayaz Khondunaik, a former classmate of Neha, was apprehended by the police following the incident.

“We have decided to entrust the investigation to the CID. Additionally, a special court will be established to expedite proceedings. It is imperative that the charge sheet be filed promptly and justice be swiftly delivered,” stated Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

The murder case has ignited widespread public outcry and has become embroiled in a political debate between the ruling Congress and the opposition BJP. While the Congress has emphasized the personal nature of the incident, the BJP has labeled it a “love jihad” case, citing it as evidence of deteriorating law and order in the state.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed concerns over crime rates, asserting, “Crime cases have decreased during the Congress administration. In 2023, there were 1,295 reported cases, compared to 1,300, 1,318, 1,342, and 1,370 cases during the four years of BJP rule from 2019 to 2022.”

Expressing solidarity with the victim’s family, Siddaramaiah condemned Neha’s murder and reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens. “We will extend protection to all individuals during our tenure. Neha’s father has raised concerns about the involvement of four additional suspects, and we have instructed for a thorough investigation into this matter,” he added.

The decision to transfer the case to the CID and establish a special court underscores the government’s determination to expedite justice and bring closure to this tragic incident that has deeply shaken the community. Stay tuned for further updates as the investigation progresses.

Hyderabad, April 21, 2024 — Leader of Opposition and President of the Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS), K Chandrashekhar Rao, is gearing up for an extensive 17-day campaign blitz across Telangana, commencing on April 24, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

The itinerary for the campaign is packed with vibrant roadshows, promising to energize supporters and sway undecided voters. KCR, as he is popularly known, will kick off his campaign with roadshows in Miryalaguda and Suryapet on April 24, followed by a spirited gathering in Bhongir on April 25.

The campaign momentum will surge as KCR navigates through various constituencies, spreading his party’s message of progress and prosperity. He will traverse through Mahabubnagar and Nagarkurnool on April 26 and 27 respectively, before igniting enthusiasm in Warangal on April 28.

Continuing his journey, KCR will lead roadshows in Khammam, Tallada, and Kothagudem on April 29 and 30, amplifying the fervor of his campaign.

The schedule remains intense as the BRS chief plans to grace Mahabubabad on May 1, followed by visits to Jammikunta and Veenavanka on May 2. The momentum will carry through to Ramagundam on May 3, Mancherial on May 4, and Jagtial on May 5.

On May 6, the campaign trail will witness KCR’s presence in Nizamabad, followed by visits to Kamareddy and Medak on May 7. The journey will further extend to Narsapur and Patancheru on May 8, and Karimnagar on May 9, concluding with rallies in Sircilla and Siddipet on May 10.

The Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi, buoyed by its recent strategic maneuvers, is eyeing a resounding victory in the upcoming elections. The party’s leadership, under KCR’s guidance, meticulously reviewed the electoral landscape, particularly focusing on critical constituencies like Chevella.

During a high-level meeting held at the Nandinagar residence of the party president, elected representatives and functionaries from Chevella expressed confidence in the party’s resurgence. BRS Working President, KT Rama Rao, echoed this optimism, emphasizing the overwhelming support garnered by the party’s nominee, Kasani Gnaneshwar.

Gnaneshwar’s decades-long commitment to serving all sections of society, coupled with his profound understanding of the region’s challenges, has struck a chord with the electorate. The electrifying response received during KCR’s rally in Chevella further solidified the party’s prospects in the constituency.

Rama Rao underscored the importance of steadfast loyalty, contrasting it with the opportunistic maneuvers of leaders like Ranjith Reddy and Mahender Reddy, who abandoned the party for personal gain. Such actions, he emphasized, betray the trust of the people and are met with disdain.

As KCR prepares to embark on this transformative journey, the political landscape of Telangana awaits a fervent upheaval, with the BRS poised to reclaim its mantle of dominance.

Stay tuned for comprehensive coverage as Telangana braces for a spectacle of political fervor and fervent anticipation in the days to come.

Controversy Surrounds Doordarshan News Channel’s Logo Change

0

The new logo of Doordarshan news channel, the flagship channel of the government, has come under fire from the former Prasar Bharti Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and TMC MP Jawhar Sircar. On Tuesday, DD News unveiled its new official logo — changing its colour from ruby red to saffron.

The broadcaster defended the change as a mere alteration of “visual aesthetics,” but the ex-CEO of Prasar Bharti has questioned the timing of the change, particularly during Lok Sabha polls.

DD News unveiled the new logo on the X platform. The channel on Tuesday wrote, “While our values remain the same, we are now available in a new avatar. Get ready for a news journey like never before. Experience the all-new DD News!”

“We have the courage to put: Accuracy over speed, Facts over claims, Truth over sensationalism…Because if it is on DD News, it is the truth! DD News – Bharosa Sach Ka,” it added.

As the Centre-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is recognized with the “orange color,” also known as the “Saffron party,” TMC MP has slammed DD’s logo change, considering it a state-run channel.

TMC Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar, who was also the CEO of Prasar Bharati between 2012 and 2014 said, “National broadcaster Doordarshan colors its historic flagship logo in saffron! As its ex-CEO, I have been watching its saffronization with alarm and feel — it’s not Prasar Bharati anymore, it’s Prachar (publicity) Bharati!”

According to a report by Indian Express, officials said when Doordarshan was launched in 1959, it had a saffron logo. Later, its colors were changed to blue, yellow, and red. However, the two petals with a globe in the center remained the same.

The channel’s logo also included the words “Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ but that was done away with in due course.

Last month, the Centre made it mandatory for Doordarshan news anchors to wear Khadi outfits. India’s Public Service Broadcaster, Prasar Bharati, and Khadi India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in September 2023, under which the anchors of DD News and DD India will now actively contribute to carrying forward India’s rich heritage and modernity by wearing clothes made of Khadi. DD had also announced that it would live telecast morning prayers offered to the Ram Lalla idol every day.

Telangana Political Landscape Under the Lens: Pre-poll Surveys Paint a Dynamic Picture

0

In the wake of Congress’s recent ascendancy in Telangana politics, pre-poll surveys are painting a dynamic picture of the state’s political scenario. While the Congress party is poised with its welfare-focused agenda, other parties are rallying around sectarian and religious narratives, setting the stage for an intriguing electoral battle.

Congress Leads the Pack:

Several surveys, including those by C-Voter, Lok Poll, and India Today, indicate an edge for the Congress party. The South First-Peoples Pulse Lok Sabha Tracker Poll, in particular, highlights Congress’s lead, attributing it to governance perceptions and vote share gains across various demographics and regions. The ABP-C Voter survey also foresees a rise in Congress’s vote share and seat tally, positioning it ahead of the BJP and the BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi).

BJP’s Growing Influence:

Despite Congress’s lead, the BJP is expected to make significant gains, especially in areas like Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Adilabad, and Hyderabad-Rangareddy. The India TV-CNX opinion poll suggests a rise in BJP’s electoral influence, with the party projected to win six seats, indicating a notable increase from its previous performance.

BRS Faces Uphill Battle:

Conversely, the BRS is predicted to face a challenging election, with surveys suggesting a dismal performance. The ABP-C Voter survey places the BRS behind both UPA and NDA in terms of vote share.

Public Sentiment and Media Influence:

The surveys also reflect varying levels of public satisfaction with the Telangana government’s performance. While 27% of respondents express high satisfaction, 42% indicate moderate satisfaction. The media’s role in shaping public opinion is highlighted, with the portrayal of government actions and policies playing a pivotal role in influencing public perception.

Final Verdict Awaited:

Despite these early indicators, the actual electoral outcome remains uncertain, with the true picture expected to emerge closer to the election. The Mood of the Nation survey, while predicting a BJP landslide at the national level, does not provide a clear insight into the Telangana scenario, emphasizing the need for cautious interpretation of survey results.

Protestors Demand Restoration of Jannat ul Baqi Shrines 101 Years After Destruction.

0

Hyderabad :- (SNS ) In a poignant display of solidarity and remembrance, protestors worldwide gathered to demand the restoration of the revered shrines at Jannat ul Baqi, a cemetery of profound significance to the Muslim community. One hundred and one years have passed since the wanton destruction of these sacred sites, perpetrated by the House of Saud and Wahhabi followers.

Al Baqi Organization Leads Global Movement for Reconstruction, Commemorates Shawwal 8.

Background:
Jannat ul Baqi holds the remains of 7,000 Companions of the Holy Prophet, including esteemed figures like Imam Hasan AS, Imam Ali bin Hussain AS, Imam Mohammed Baquer AS, Imam Jaffer Sadiq AS, and Fatima SA, possibly the only daughter of the Holy Prophet. The demolition, which occurred on Shawwal 8 of the Islamic calendar in 1344 AH, has since been a focal point of anguish and activism.

Global Outcry:
Annually, on Shawwal 8, voices across the globe unite in protest, condemning the desecration and demanding swift action from the Saudi government. This year, protestors convened at Dharna Chowk, Indira Park in Hyderabad, brandishing banners and echoing chants denouncing Al Saud—the perpetrators of this historical injustice.

Scholarly Support:
Notable scholars of the Muslim community joined the demonstration, reaffirming their commitment to peaceful protest until Jannat ul Baqi is restored to its former sanctity.

Gratitude to India:
The Al Baqi Organization expressed gratitude to the Indian government for its steadfast support of fundamental freedoms, including the right to assemble and express dissent.

As the clamor for justice grows louder, the call to rebuild Jannat ul Baqi reverberates across continents, a testament to the enduring reverence for those laid to rest within its hallowed grounds.

Annual Haj Season Approaches: Mohammad Cap Mart in Hyderabad Prepares Pilgrims with Specialized Ihram Clothing

0

Hyderabad:- As the annual Haj season draws near, Mohammad Cap Mart (MCM) in Pathargatti gears up to provide essential ihram clothing and accessories for men and women pilgrims.

In anticipation of the intense summer heat in Makkah Mukarrama, Saudi Arabia, during the peak of Haj, MCM ensures the comfort of pilgrims by offering soft, fine-textured cotton ihram sourced from reputed textile mills both domestically and internationally.

Managing Director of MCM, Mohammed Ilyas Bukhari, highlights the importance of quality ihram in combating the harsh climate conditions pilgrims will face, with temperatures projected to range between 42 and 45 degrees Celsius. Additionally, Makkah experiences rainfall during this period, contributing to sultry weather. To address these challenges, MCM’s R&D wing has developed an absorbent and high-quality ihram through rigorous research efforts.

The symbolic white ihram, representing uniformity and equality among pilgrims regardless of status, remains unstitched, possibly reminiscent of the shroud. Recognizing its significance as the first obligatory rite of Umrah and Haj, MCM emphasizes the need for careful consideration in selecting ihram.

Beyond ihram, MCM, a 113-year-old establishment, offers a comprehensive range of Haj season essentials, including ihram belts, pocket prayer mats, sleeper bags, shoulder bags, umbrellas, caps, prayer beads, leather socks, cotton printed scarves, and miswak. The complete package of 26 items is available for Rs. 4500, while individual ihram pieces are priced between Rs. 750 to Rs. 2000.
