Haveri, Mar 9: Coming down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during whose five year term has allegedly led to high unemployment rate in the country, All India Congress Committee (AICC) President Rahul Gandhi said that if Congress comes to power at the Center in 2019, his party will enact a Minimum Guarantee Income Bill for the benefit of youth population of the country.

Addressing a largely attended 'Parivarthana Rally' organised by the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) here on Saturday, Mr Gandhi charged that since last five years Mr Modi has worked for the benefit of few Corporate companies and did nothing for the benefits of crores of people belonging to poor and impoverished community, small and medium traders.

Referring to the Defence procurement Deal on Rafale, he alleged that "in this deal Narendra Modi had stolen over Rs 30000 crore and put it into the pockets of Ambani.
Narendra Modi also directed the France President to chose a private firm instead of State run Hindustan Aeronautics Limited".

Stating that if Congress comes to power, we will ensure that every youngster in the country will get a minimum guarantee income, he said that "Money would be transferred directly into the bank account of each beneficiary".

"If Prime minister Narendra Modi, can draw the money and put into the pocket of few Corporate companies why not we do it for the benefit of crores of unemployed youths of the country" he questioned.

He said that in Chhatisgarh the Congress government had implemented the Minimum Income Guarantee Bill and large number of unemployed youth getting its benefit.

"Scared about our programme, Prime Minister announced the 'Raitha Samman' scheme, in which Union government will remit a meager amount to the farmers bank account" he added.

Referring to demonetization, he said that every citizen of the country was hurt because of the decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "While we can not do anything to reverse it I can assure that I will present a more simplified GST and one tax system for entire country".

Mr Gandhi also promised to enact the much delayed Women Reservation Bill. "My first priority will be to bring the Women Reservation bill, which would ensure adequate representation of Women in Assemblies and Parliament".

Criticising the BJP leaders on tackling the terrorism in the country, the Congress President charged that "Prime Minister Narendra Modi had blamed Moulana Masood for the Pulwama incident in which more than 40 CRPF soldiers were killed, however the BJP leaders were responsible for Masood's release from the jail and sent him in a military aircraft to Kandhar".

Mr Gandhi appealed to the party worker to support the Congress and JD(S) candidates in the coming Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka and help the party to come back to power at the Center. "The coming elections will be fought on two ideologies, one led by communal BJP and the other by the Congress which would work for the upliftment of downtrodden, farmers and empowerment of Women" he added.

Senior Congress leaders including Mallikarjuna Kharge, Siddaramaiah, AICC General Secretary, K C Venugopal, KPCC President Dinesh Gundurao, KPCC Working President Ishwar Khandre and others were also present on the occasion.

A Tragic End—Mortal Remains of Entrepreneur Mumtaz Ali Found In River

News Network

October 7,2024

Mangaluru, Oct 7: In a heartbreaking turn of events, the search for Mumtaz Ali, chairman of Misbah Group of Educational Institutions, ended with the discovery of his mortal remains in the Phalguni river near Kulur. The somber discovery came after an exhaustive search, leaving a community in shock and sorrow.

He is the younger brother of former MLA Mohuiddin Bawa and former MLC B M Farookh.

The incident has taken a deeply distressing turn with the filing of an FIR against six individuals, including a woman, who are accused of pushing Ali to a tragic end.

The accused allegedly blackmailed Ali, fabricating a story about his involvement in an illicit relationship with the woman. Reports suggest that they extorted Rs 50 lakh from Ali and were unrelenting, demanding an additional Rs 50 lakh from him, casting a shadow over his final days.

The complaint, lodged by Ali’s grieving brother, accuses these individuals of driving him to despair through relentless blackmail and false accusations, ultimately leading him to take the tragic step.

In the early hours of Sunday, Ali left his home at 3 am, heading towards Suratkal, perhaps seeking some solace. A minor accident occurred when his car collided with a private bus near MCF. Despite the mishap, he offered a heartfelt apology to the bus driver and conductor—a gesture that now echoes with the pain of his unspoken struggles. After the collision, Ali made a U-turn near Panambur circle, driving back towards Kulur bridge, where his journey came to a sorrowful end.

Ali’s last moments hold an even deeper sadness, as he left behind a voice message in Byari, naming an individual who had been tormenting him mentally. Sent to his daughter and a close friend, the message revealed the unbearable burden he was carrying, hinting at his final decision to end his suffering.

This tragic loss has left the community and his loved ones grappling with unanswered questions and a profound sense of grief. As the investigation unfolds, the memory of Mumtaz Ali lingers, a reminder of the silent battles that too often go unseen.
