Modi government halted lateral entry recruitment after INDIA alliance's opposition: Dinesh Gundurao
Bengaluru: The central government's decision to halt the recruitment of 45 senior positions through lateral entry has been termed as a victory for the INDIA alliance's struggle by Karnataka State Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao. The Modi government's move to recruit individuals from the private sector into high-ranking positions in various central government departments was met with strong opposition from the INDIA alliance, which labeled the process as unconstitutional.
Gundurao took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his views, accusing the government of attempting to undermine the reservation rights guaranteed to marginalized communities. He argued that the lateral entry scheme was a part of a broader strategy to bypass the reservation system by appointing private individuals to key posts.
Gundurao further criticised the government's push towards privatization over the past decade, claiming it was a deliberate attempt to erode the reservation system in public institutions. He stated that the recent suspension of the lateral entry process is a significant achievement in the fight against what he termed as the government's "sneaky strategy" to dismantle reservation rights.

ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ವಿವಿಧ ಇಲಾಖೆಗಳ 45 ಉನ್ನತ ಹುದ್ದೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಲ್ಯಾಟರಲ್ ಎಂಟ್ರಿ ಮೂಲಕ ನೇಮಕಾತಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ತನ್ನ ಅಸಂವಿಧಾನಿಕ ನಡೆಯಿಂದ ಮೋದಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಹಿಂದೆ ಸರಿದಿದೆ.
ಇದು ಇಂಡಿಯಾ ಒಕ್ಕೂಟ ನಡೆಸಿದ ಹೋರಾಟದ ಫಲ. ಶೋಷಿತ ಸಮುದಾಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂವಿಧಾನ ನೀಡಿರುವ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ಹಕ್ಕನ್ನು ಕಸಿಯುವ ಕುಟಿಲ ತಂತ್ರವನ್ನು ಮೋದಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಲೇ…

ಖಾಸಗೀಕರಣದಿಂದ ಮಾತ್ರ ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿ ಎಂಬ ಭ್ರಮೆ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳನ್ನು ಖಾಸಗೀಕರಣ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವದರ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಹುನ್ನಾರವೇ ಮೀಸಲಾತಿ ಕಸಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು.
ಮೋದಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕಳೆದ ಹತ್ತು ವರ್ಷದ ಅವಧಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಖಾಸಗಿಕರಣದ ಹಿಂದಿನ ದುಷ್ಟ ಉದ್ದೇಶವೇ ಇದು.

ISKCON urges Indian intervention following priest's arrest in Bangladesh
Dhaka: The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) has called on the Indian government to take immediate steps to secure the release of its priest, Chinmoy Krishna Das, detained by Bangladeshi authorities. The arrest occurred near Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
Das, a prominent ISKCON leader and former divisional organising secretary for Chattogram, faces sedition charges stemming from an October 25 incident. According to a case filed on October 31, 19 individuals, including Das, allegedly placed a saffron flag over the Bangladeshi flag on the Independent Pillar (Shadhinata Smathamva) during a rally organised by the Hindu community under the banner Sanatan Jagaran Mancha.
ISKCON has strongly denied any involvement in terrorism, describing the allegations as "baseless and unacceptable." In a statement, ISKCON declared, "It is outrageous to make baseless allegations that ISKCON has anything to do with terrorism anywhere in the world. ISKCON urges the Government of India to engage with Bangladesh to secure the release of Sri Chinmoy Krishna Das."
Hindu communities in Bangladesh have staged protests demanding better legal protection and the establishment of a minority affairs ministry under the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
Meanwhile, Bangladeshi police have arrested two other suspects, Rajesh Chowdhury and Hriday Das, in connection with the case. The remaining accused include Ajay Dutta, Leela Raj Das Brahmachari, Gopal Das Tipu, and several others. ISKCON spokesperson Radharamn Das expressed concerns over Das's safety, stating that he had been moved to an undisclosed location by the police.
