Conduct exams for 20,000 SSC posts in Kannada too, urges Kumaraswamy
Bengaluru: Former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy has raised objection for the examinations of the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) being conducted only in English and Hindi, without an option to answer in regional languages, including Kannada.
He posted a series of tweets on Friday that the Central government is desperate to curb the regional languages especially in South India. “There seems to be sheer intolerance and even hatred towards the regional languages. There also seems to be a determination to destroy the three-language policy,” he has expressed ire in the matter.
Pointing out that the 20,000 selected candidates may be posted in any state, Kumaraswamy opined that an attempt was being made to ‘fill Karnataka and other South Indian states with Hindi people’.
He said that Karnataka representatives had two demands in the matter. “The SSC examinations should be conducted in Kannada too. The posts in Karnataka should be reserved for Kannadigas. The Commission should conduct the examinations only after implementing the changes,” the former chief minister demanded.
Kumaraswamy further said, “Conducting the examination in Kannada will benefit many worthy candidates in the state. Also, if Kannadigas are appointed for the posts in the state, the citizens will get service in Kannada,” and warned, “If the Centre fails to bring in the change, it will have to face the displeasure and pressure from Kannadigas.”
ಕೇಂದ್ರದ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಆಯೋಗ (SSC) 20,000 ಹುದ್ದೆ ಆಯ್ಕೆಗೆ ಹಿಂದಿ-ಇಂಗ್ಲೀಷ್‌ʼನಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆಯ್ಕೆಯಾದ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿಯನ್ನು ಯಾವ ರಾಜ್ಯಕ್ಕಾದರೂ ಕಳುಹಿಸಬಹುದು. ಕನ್ನಡ ಸೇರಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ಪ್ರಾದೇಶಿಕ ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಗೆ ಅವಕಾಶವಿಲ್ಲ.

ಹಿಂದಿ ಹೇರಿಕೆ, ಭಾಷಾ ತಾರತಮ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಇದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ ಬೇಕೆ? 1/5 pic.twitter.com/upGS4AXwKE
ಕೇಂದ್ರ @BJP4India ಸರಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಾದೇಶಿಕ ಭಾಷೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹತ್ತಿಕ್ಕಲೇಬೇಕು ಎನ್ನುವ ಕೆಟ್ಟ ಹಠವಿದ್ದಂತೆ ಇದೆ. ಕನ್ನಡವೂ ಸೇರಿ ದಕ್ಷಿಣದ ಪ್ರಾದೇಶಿಕ ಭಾಷೆಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಇನ್ನಿಲ್ಲದ ಅಸಹನೆ, ದ್ವೇಷ ಮೈಗೂಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದೆ ಎನಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ತ್ರಿಭಾಷಾ ಸೂತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಹೇಗಾದರೂ ಸಮಾಧಿ ಕಟ್ಟಲೇಬೇಕೆಂದು ಹೊರಟಂತಿದೆ. 2/5 pic.twitter.com/G7a0HTRiXK

ಒಕ್ಕೂಟ ತತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಡಳಿತ ನಡೆಸುವ ಪಕ್ಷಕ್ಕೇ ಒಪ್ಪಿಗೆ ಇಲ್ಲ ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನು ಇದು ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಹಿಂದಿ ಭಾಷಿಗರನ್ನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಹಾಗೂ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ತುಂಬುವ ದುಸ್ಸಾಹಸವಷ್ಟೇ ಇದು.

ಈ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ 2 ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳಿವೆ.
1.ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲೂ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ನಡೆಸಬೇಕು.
2.ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಹುದ್ದೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರನ್ನೇ ನೇಮಿಸಬೇಕು.
3/5
ಈ ಬದಲಾವಣೆ ನಂತರವಷ್ಟೇ ಸಿಬ್ಬಂದಿ ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಆಯೋಗ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ನಡೆಸಬೇಕು. ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲೇ ಪರಿಕ್ಷೆ ನಡೆಸಿದರೆ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಅನೇಕ ಪ್ರತಿಭಾವಂತ ಯುವಜನರು ಆಯ್ಕೆ ಆಗಲು ಅನುಕೂಲವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. 4/5

ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಹುದ್ದೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ನೇಮಕವಾದರೆ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಜನರಿಗೆ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇವೆ ದೊರೆಯುತ್ತದೆ. ತಪ್ಪಿದರೆ, ಕೇಂದ್ರವು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಆಗ್ರಹಕ್ಕೆ ಗುರಿಯಾಗಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. 5/5#ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ_ಕನ್ನಡವೇ_ಮೊದಲು

Savarkar remarks: Rahul Gandhi appears in Pune court via video link in defamation case, gets bail
Pune, Jan 10: A special court in Pune on Friday granted bail to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case related to his alleged objectionable remarks on Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar.
The MP/MLA court granted bail to the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha on a surety bond of Rs 25,000 after he appeared before it through video conferencing, his lawyer said.
Senior Congress leader Mohan Joshi stood as surety for Gandhi (54) before the court presided over by Amol Shinde, judicial magistrate (first class) and special judge for MP/MLA cases.
Advocate Milind Pawar, representing Gandhi, said soon after his client appeared before the court, they moved a bail application.
The judge allowed the plea and granted bail to the former Congress president on a surety bond of Rs 25000, he informed.
The advocate said the court also granted permanent exemption to the Lok Sabha MP from Rae Bareli from appearing before it.
The case was filed on a complaint by V D Savarkar's grandnephew Satyaki, who alleged Gandhi had made defamatory remarks against the Hindutva icon at a programme he attended in London in March 2023.
Earlier, advocate Sangram Kolhatkar, representing Satyaki Savarkar, objected to Gandhi's application seeking virtual appearance.
There was no provision that allows an accused to appear in court through video conferencing before securing bail, Kolhatkar argued.
The court, however, permitted Gandhi to attend the proceedings online.
Wearing a bottle green sweater, the Congress MP appeared before the court and stated his name when the judge asked for it.
The matter will be next heard on February 18.
As per the complaint, Gandhi, while speaking at the London event, stated that Savarkar had written in a book that he and five to six of his friends once beat up a Muslim man and he (Savarkar) felt happy.
According to the complaint, the freedom fighter had not written this anywhere and the Congress leader's remarks were aimed at defaming him.
At the time, the court had asked the Pune police to investigate the allegations and file a report.
The Vishrambaug police, after an inquiry, submitted that there was prima facie truth in the complaint.
Gandhi had skipped the previous court appearance on December 2 citing the winter session of Parliament which he was attending.
His lawyer Pawar had then assured that the opposition parliamentarian will appear in the court on January 10.
