    Lady Muslim IAS officer adopts daughters of two Pulwama martyrs*

     

    By Syed Ali Mujtaba
    February 20:- At a time when venom against Indian Muslims is being splashed all over in the Social Media holding them responsible for the terror attack in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir on February 14, 2019, in which 42 CRPF Jawans were martyred in a dastardly terror attack, a Muslim lady IAS officer in Bihar has silenced such ‘Indian vultures’ by adopting a daughter each of two Bihar slain CRPF personal.
    Ms Inayat Khan, who is 2012 Bihar cadre IAS office and currently posted as District Magistrate Shiekhpura Bihar in a telephonic conversation told, she has adopted two girls, one daughter each of slain CRPF personnel Ratan Kumar Thakur from Bhagalpur and Sanjay Kunar Sinha from Patna and will bear the cost of the girls’ education besides taking care of other expenses throughout their lives.
    The 31 years old IAS officer who hails from Agra said, as a good will gesture, she will also donate her two days’ salary to the families of the two jawans. “I have requested all government staff of my district to donate their one day’s salary to the families of the two martyrs,” she said.
    The DM of Shiekhpura has ordered to open a bank account for her adopted daughters in Sheikhpura. “Orders have been issued to open an account to raise funds for families of the two martyrs. Whatever amount will be collected by March 10 would be divided and given to the two families,” she said appealing to the people to donate generously into the bank account of the kin of the slain CRPF personals.
    Earlier, Ms Khan, along with the staff at the DM’s office, paid tributes to 42 CRPF personals, killed in the Pulwama terror attack, by observing a minute’s silence at the district headquarter.
    The 2012 batch IAS officer of Bihar cadre represents the aspiration of modern Indian middle class girls. She had cracked UPSC Civil Services Examination in 2011 and got the rank of 176 and secured IAS ranking along with Bihar Cadre.
    Her first posting was as the BDO of Pandarak, Patna District. After that she worked as the SDO was Rajgir and then as District Development Commissioner DDC in Bhojpur District. Her last posting was as Managing Director of the Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation (BSTDC).
    Every Indian Muslim is proud of IAS officers like Ms Inayat Kan. She serves as a role model for the Muslim girls of our country. It is expected that more and more Muslim girls should take inspiration from Inyat Khan and aspire to join the Civil Services of India.
    Ms Inayat Khan is widely regarded as an honest officer who is working tirelessly for the development of the society. The people of Shiekhpura have a lot of expectations from her.  It is expected that this dynamic IAS officer will do wonders for this backward district of Bihar.

  • Rs 50 for a cup of tea and Rs 50 for mobile charging’ Kashmir-bound stranded passengers rue their fate*

    Rs 50 for a cup of tea and Rs 50 for mobile charging’ Kashmir-bound stranded passengers rue their fate*

    Kashmir-bound passengers stranded in Jammu for past three weeks due to highway closure have been facing immense problems. The callous attitude of local Jammu population towards them has made things more worse even as the RSS and BJP backed anti-Kashmir protests are intensifying sending a shock and scary waves for the people from Kashmir especially among women and kids.

    Sensing trouble, the Jammu city Police Chief asked stranded passengers not to assemble anywhere for the registration. He made it clear that nowhere in Jammu city, stranded passengers are being registered for air lifting.

    The stranded passengers who are short of money and other resources are finding it hard to fill their belly. “You won’t believe, I was asked to pay Rs 50 to charge my cell phone by a shopkeeper in Jammu. That time I realized, some people in Jammu city have extensive greed for money who seek pleasure in exploiting the helpless. I truly believe in Kashmiriyat and am sure if these people will face the same situation in Kashmir, they will get a red carpet welcome,” said Ghulam Muhammad Bhat from Aligund Tral to news agency CNS.

    These passengers who have been urging the government to take immediate steps to clear the road or airlift them to Kashmir are spending their nights at bus stand, shrines, mosques and hostels. “We look like beggars here. Administration is doing nothing for us,” said another stranded passenger.

    As the RSS and BJP backed protests against stranded passengers intensified on Tuesday, some philanthropists from Sikh community opened up the gates of several Gurudwaras for these Kashmir bound stranded passengers. The local protesters accuse Kashmiri stranded passengers of raising pro-Pakistan slogans during an anti-government demonstration.

    “Dear all Kashmiris especially Muslim brothers and sisters who are stranded at Jammu Bus Stand due to closure of Jammu Srinagar Highway are requested to go to any Gurdwara in Jammu like Chand Kour, BC Road ,Nanak Nagar and Digiana Ashram. Sikh community has started free Langar and accommodation for everyone,” wrote one Channi Singh on his facebook account.

    Reports said that over 1000 people are stranded due to closure of the highway due to snowfall and landslides.

    “Government should airlift stranded passengers as there are women and children who are suffering badly,” they said adding that prices of commodities have been hiked as there is no market checking to put rates in order. “Some of the shopkeepers are taking undue advantage of our miseries,” they said and alleged they have to pay Rs 50 for the cup of a tea.
