Mangaluru, Dec 28: Housing and Urban Development Minister UT Khader said that a journalist of an electronic media has said to be insulted the Prophet which is condemnable.

The Prophet was not just limited to Muslim community. The entire mankind has been respecting and following his messages and ideologies. The journalists who are in a responsible position should not disrespect such an ideal personality and behave irresponsibly. Journalists have a great responsibility in the society. They should spread peace and solace in the society instead of disturbing it. He would speak to Information department minister, he said.

People and organizations should respond quietly and take proper legal action in order to avoid the repetition of such incidents in future. Instead of conducting protest meets which could disturb peace in the society, the organizations and people need to think about lodging complaints to the police and concerned departments to take legal actions, he said.

Ranchi (PTI): The suspension of IAS officer Pooja Singhal, who was in jail for over two years in a money laundering case, was revoked after she secured bail, an official of the Jharkhand government said on Wednesday.

Singhal was suspended on May 12, 2022, a day after her arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The case relates to alleged corruption in implementing MGNREGA, the Centre's flagship scheme for rural employment.

"In light of the recommendations made by the Suspension Review Committee after due consideration, Pooja Singhal, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, has been reinstated with effect from December 7, 2024, following her release on bail," said a notification issued by the Department of Personnel, Administrative Reforms and Raj Bhasa on Tuesday evening.

After being relieved from suspension, Singhal will contribute to the Department of Personnel, Administrative Reforms and Raj Bhasa, it stated.

The ED had accused Singhal, a former secretary in the state Mines Department, of money laundering. A special court granted her bail on December 7 last year.
