Measures to release prisoners from minority Communities: GA Bava
Mangaluru: The state Minority Commission would take steps to release the prisoners who have been undergoing punishment in the jails of the state, said Commission chairman GA Bava.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, he said that steps would be taken to release the prisoners, including those from the minority communities. This decision would apply to only those who were imprisoned for the first time. Those who involved in petty cases, suspected movements and theft cases were normally imprisoned. Usually, the courts would award three to six months imprisonment in theft cases. Though such convicted people get bails, they could not be able to pay the surety amount. Those who fail to pay the amount continue in jail even after two and a half years despite convicted for just three months. So the Commission would take steps to release such convicted persons, he said.
The details on such convicted persons would be collected from all jails in the state. Jailers have been directed to provide the details every month. Details of such convicted persons would be given to advocates and NGOs to help them, he said.
Minority Welfare department district officer Usman, Minority Welfare Corporation district manager Safwan were present.
Removal of encroachment from waqf property
Many Wakf properties were encroached across the state. In 1968, all Wakf properties were notified through Gazette notification and those properties would remain as Wakf properties according to the Supreme Court. So, the Commission has taken tough steps to get back all those encroached Wakf properties. In future also, the commission would take up such cases, he said.
Injustice to minorities
The Commission came to know that minorities were encountering injustice from all departments. Details were being collected from all departments every month. Once the complete information is collected, it would be verified. If it is proved, the Commission would take action, GA Bava added.

Ex-Punjab CM Channi calls attack on IAF's convoy 'stunt', links it LS polls
Chandigarh, May 5: Congress leader Charanjit Singh Channi on Sunday called the Poonch terror attack in which an IAF soldier was killed and four were injured, a “stunt” meant to make the BJP win the Lok Sabha elections.
The remark by the former Punjab Chief Minister and Congress candidate Jalandhar parliamentary constituency triggered a row with the BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa calling his statement appalling and disrespectful towards soldiers.
Replying to a question on the attack on the Indian Air Force's convoy in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch, Channi said, “‘Yeh stuntbaazi ho rahi hai, hamle nahi ho rahe' (These are all stunts, not attacks)."
“Whenever elections are near, such stunts are performed to make the BJP win. There is no truth in it," he said while replying to the question in Jalandhar.
Channi is the Congress candidate from the Jalandhar reserve parliamentary constituency.
"The BJP knows how to play with people's lives and bodies," he further said.
One soldier was killed and four were injured as terrorists ambushed an Indian Air Force (IAF) convoy in Poonch district on Saturday, three weeks ahead of polling in Anantnag-Rajouri Lok Sabha constituency.
BJP leader Sirsa said, "I condemn Charanjit Singh Channi's statement of calling the martyrdom of an IAF personnel in Kashmir, "stuntbaazi".”
“Congress is saying that he was martyred because of elections. This mentality is not just appalling but disrespectful to those who serve our nation,” he said.
“Pakistan and Rahul Gandhi continue to support each other while Congress is belittling the sacrifice of our Jawans,” Sirsa said in a post on X.
