'BJP govt ignoring demand of people to write IBPS in Kannada'
Bengaluru, Sept 13: Opposition parties in Karnataka on Friday hit out at the BJP government at the Centre, accusing it of 'ignoring' the demand of people of the state to write the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) exams in Kannada, and termed it as "injustice" to Kannadigas.
Congress and JD(S) said the advertisement for the online examination (Preliminary and Main) for the next Common Recruitment Process for selection of personnel for clerical cadre posts states that the exams will be held only in English and Hindi.
"The Kannadiga demand of restoration of domicile clause prior to 2014 in #IBPS exams are repeatedly Ignored by @narendramodi @nsitharaman promise in parliament to conduct exam in Kannada is also dishonored Recent notification has humiliated Kannadigas We demand justice to kannadigas," the Karnataka Congress tweeted.
Former Chief Minister and Congress Legislature Party leader Siddaramaiah has accused the central government of 'cheating' the people of Karnataka and termed the move as a 'conspiracy' to prevent non-Hindi people from getting bank jobs.
"Central govt has again cheated the ppl of Ktaka.They are taking the identity of Kannada for a ride.
Does the promise of @nsitharaman & @tejasvi_Surya mean nothing? Their lack of knowledge & breach of trust is a spectacle for moral spinelessness & political ineptitude.
#IBPS mosa (," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
"It is a conspiracy to prevent non-hindi ppl from getting bank jobs.
We have to teach @BJP4India a lesson about the power of linguistic diversity.
What are the representatives from @BJP4Karnataka doing? Do they also subscribe to the idea of superiority of Hindi? Shame!!" he said in another tweet.
Another former Chief Minister and JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy in a tweet said despite repeated demand by Kannadigas, the central government was not conducting IBPS exams in Kannada and also not restoring the domicile clause that was there earlier.
"this is evidence of the centres step-motherly behavior.
I strongly oppose it," he said.
Amid growing demand from various quarters, including MPs from various states,Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in July had told Parliament that the exams for direct recruitment of Scale-I officers and office assistants in Regional Rural Banks would be held in 13 regional languages, apart from English and Hindi.
Common Recruitment Process for recruitment of officers in RRBs are also conducted by the Institute for Banking Personnel Selection.
ರಾಜ್ಯದಿಂದ ಇಪ್ಪತ್ತೈದು ಜನ ಸಂಸದರು ಆಯ್ಕೆಯಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ, ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಮತ್ತು ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯದೇ ಸರ್ಕಾರವಿದೆ. ಹೀಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಐಬಿಪಿಎಸ್ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಪರೀಕ್ಷಾರ್ಥಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಬರೆಯಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ಕಲ್ಪಿಸಿಕೊಡಲಾಗದಿರುವುದು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗೆ ಬಗೆದ ದ್ರೋಹ.

ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು ಇದನ್ನು ಸಹಿಸರು.#IBPSMosa
2014 ಕ್ಕೂ ಮೊದಲು ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಬ್ಯಾಂಕಿಂಗ್ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಬರೆಯಲು ಕನ್ನಡ ಕಲಿತಿರುವಿಕೆ ಕಡ್ಡಾಯವಿತ್ತು.

ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸಂಸದರು ಮತ್ತು ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರಿಗಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ಅನ್ಯಾಯವನ್ನು ತಪ್ಪಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ.#IBPSmosa #BJPbetraysKarnataka pic.twitter.com/hDxEuMcwwK
ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಹಲವಾರು ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳ ನಂತರವೂ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರ್ಕಾರ IBPS ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಯನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆಯಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ನೀಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಮುಂಚೆ ಇದ್ದ domicile ನಿಯಮವನ್ನು ವಾಪಾಸ್ ತರಲಾಗಿಲ್ಲ.

ಇದು ಗಾಯದ ಮೇಲೆ ಬರೆ ಎಳೆದಂತಾಗಿದೆ. ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಮಲತಾಯಿ ಧೋರಣೆಗೆ ಇದು ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ. ಇದನ್ನು ನಾನು ಖಡಾಖಂಡಿತವಾಗಿ ವಿರೋಧಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. #IBPSMosa pic.twitter.com/2qPcg4AvYW

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
