From Melroy C.F Fernandes on People’s Tribunal on the Police firings in Mangalore on 19 Dec 2019

Finally! at least one member of the “chocolate press” of Mangalore stood up for press freedom and “freedom of expression”. Attaboy! Congratulations Mangalorean.com for responsible journalism and for defending the “freedom of the press”. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty; power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The manna of popular liberty must be gathered each day or it is rotten. The living sap of today outgrows the dead rind of yesterday. The hand entrusted with power becomes, either from human depravity or esprit de corps, the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continued oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot; only by unintermitted agitation can a people be sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity.” – American Abolitionist and liberal activist Wendell Phillips, January 28, 1852. My appreciation to Justice (Retd.) V. Gopala Gowda ,Mr B T Venkatesh, Mr Sugata Srinivasaraju. Only those who have something to hide are scared of transparency. Here we are talking about events that have taken place in the public domain and not the private life of individuals! I cannot fathom the paranoia displayed by the “we have nothing to hide” officialdom. “Jan Sunvayi’s” were and are an integral part of the RTI movement of India. Nobody is stopping the elected government and the “public servants” from conducting official enquiries and investigations, theirs will always be the official version. In a democratic republic established on the principles of Liberty, the government has no business interfering with people from talking or meeting with each other. That being said what goes around comes around, all those who have been proscribing unbridled freedom of expression, since 1947, lose the moral high ground to seek that right for themselves when the Damocles sword of authoritarianism hangs over their heads. All those “simply waiting to be offended’ers”: the entire country suffers on account of you and your ilk . Remember the banning of Satanic Verses , The Last Temptation of Christ; remember driving away M.F. Hussain; remember the Danish cartoons! &c. They are all coming back to bite us! Only and only unfettered freedom of expression can save democracy! Freedom of expression is when a first generation American ( born of immigrants from Gujarat,India) , Hasan Minhaj , gets invited to the WHCA dinner and, among others, roasts Donald Trump, the then newly elected President of the United States of America and yet continues to live with respect,freedom, liberty and dignity!

From Fr Denzil Lobo SJ, St Aloysius AIMIT, Beeri on Happy New 'COMPUTER' Year 2020! Renovated Computer Centre Inaugurated at St Aloysius College

Thanks to Mr. Alfie for the article on the renovation of the computer labs at St Aloysius College. Thanks to Mr Michael D’Souza, my classmate for this generous contribution towards the renovation of the labs. He is such a wonderful person. He has been doing so much through his financial assistance to see that institutions like St Aloysius flourish. I also want to make a mention about Mr Aubrey D’Souza, the first donor of the computers to St Aloysius College in 1986. He was a visionary and wanted his alma mater to launch into “COMPUTER REVOLUTION”. And thus it began with a four-terminal ZENITH ORION mini computer. Thanks to Fr Leo D’Souza SJ, who was the principal of the College then. He was the one who assigned me to look after the computer centre- without which I would not have been able to do anything. I am also indebted to so many donors who helped us in improving the infra structure, build the IT Centre in 2002 which was inaugurated by late Dr Abdul Kalam , the President of India in March 2003, and to setting up of the new campus at Beeri which was once again possible due to the generous contributions by our alumni and friends. I am indebted to Mr Prem Watsa, Canada, Mr Victor Pais, NJ, Mr Michael D’Souza, Dubai, Mr Ivan Fernandes, Dubai, Mr Ronald Colaco, Mr Lawrence D’Souza, Kuwait and a host of other donors. We want our alumni and friend to be with s and support this great venture of promoting St Aloysius to be DEEMED-TO-BE UNIVERSITY.

Looking at the state of the bridge, anyone can see that the work cannot be completed in one month unless a substantial amount is spent. If DC has to monitor it on a daily basis, the company should give day-by-day plan including the resources they are going to engage, goals for each day. Then only monitoring makes sense. Did you ask the company to provide that?

I’m glad to hear that there were at least one or two in audience to challenge Fr.Prakash’s views. I wish our Christian community understood how CAA provides protection to prosecuted religious minorities including Christians living in those Islamic Republics (Pak, Bangla and Afghanistan). Sri Fr. Cederic Prakash has all the rights to hold his views. However, he should stop misleading people in the name of ‘human rights’. This tendency to oppose Modi purely based on political and religious affiliation is toxic and dangerous.

I’m puzzled by this author who characterizes precautionary steps a ‘dumbest mistake’. Did he forget all the violence unleashed by anti-social elements just a few days ago? Who would be responsible if the same elements plan an attack on Christians to make national deadlines? Then the author would have blamed Police and ruling party for not planning in advance? The same businessmen he interviewed would make a big scene if their business comes under attack by ‘stone pelting’ crowds.

From Joe D'Souza on Website Impact! Traffic Police Erect Makeshift Metal Dividers on Kadri Kambala Rd, after Freak Accident

Mr Alfie,like you said,Private Taxis do most of the speeding and passing vehicles on “No Passing Zone” 1. I have requested last 2 Police Commissioners to STOP State Buses and Private Luxury Buses travelling on the Kambala Road. The road is narrow and these buses make wide turns thus blocking traffic until they are done with their show. 2 Another request I made with Kadri East Traffic many times to stop the Water Tanker Parking near the junction to fill the tanker. By doing this the Tanker blocks the view of small vehicle drivers. Even I requested the Corporator of the area. It was like pouring water on Rock. But when Inspector Mr. Suresh was in charge of Kadri Station,He took action when requested. 3. Please Use Your great Mangalorean.com to do a favor to us the Public one more time. The Water Tankers fill Water to the top and start driving towards Bharath Beedi road. When they make Left turn near Junction,they spill water on Bikers and Cars plus on Pedestrians. And then in front of Mauriska while climbing uphill,they keep changing gears thus spilling more water. To avoid this misery,bikers and cars overtake the tanker,passing NO PASS ZONE. Since You are Very Kind towards Citizens Problems,Please Control these Water Tankers.

From Henry James on Muslims in Udupi Demand Withdrawal of Citizenship Amendment Bill

How exactly does the CAB affect the people mentioned in this article? Are they so concerned about discrimination lately? The CAB issue is not about the Muslims in general, it is not about the Muslims in India either, instead it’s about a couple of neighbouring countries whose ideology happens to be associated with what the Muslims in general which they believe in, some of which has taken extremely radical form in the last few decades to an extent of destroying anything and everything which they think is not “halal”. There is no easy answer to this CAB imbroglio – while the Indian government is rightly showing concerns about the oppressed minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh, it also has to ensure the internal security of our own country and the challenge is in striking a balance. I am convinced 99.9% of the Muslims from our neighbouring countries do not want to destroy India but those 1% radicals (who are state sponsored by agencies such as ISI) that are the problem here. If the CAB allows Muslims of Pakistan and Bangla to enter India legally, what’s is to say the ISI won’t send the trained Jihadis in disguise to destabilise our country? And if that were to happen, these same people mentioned in this article will be the first ones to hit the streets once again to protest against the government for not providing security to its citizens when there is the terrorist attack. Do you see the irony and hypocrisy here? As I said, there are peace loving mainstream Muslims too in those neighbouring countries whom ideally we would like to help but how can we tell them apart to ensure they are not wolves in sheep’s clothing? What I suggest is that the good Muslims from those countries should they wish migrate to other prosperous Muslim countries such as the GCC for example. But GCC are not keen on accepting them either, are they? So, please stop all this hypocrisy and go deeper into the matter before trying to display your questionable empathy. And I am disgusted by the opposition parties to milk this situation. I hope Congress bites the dust and a viable left wing alternative emerges.

I totally see what the central government is doing with this amendment to the Citizenship act. It could easily have included everyone from the neighbouring countries but if it had, then half of ISI and Jihadists would walk through the open gates and destablise our country. Some things are real and may be difficult to digest under the tinted lens of idealism but we have to be realists, suck it up and accept it. There is a genuine concern for the minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh and therefore I welcome this amendment by the Indian government.

The main issue here is a steep slope which leads to four road junction where a proper traffic control system is missing. Adding to this, city buses are started passing through in this residential road which also created traffic chaos. There is a leakage in drainage manhole in the middle of this slopy road for many months. Sewage water is continuously overflowing from it which causes health hazards as well as traffic safety issue also. Hope the concerned Department Authorities will consider this as an emergency job requirements to be attended very soon so that further casualties can be avoided to great extent.

Ur all comments r not correct Sir, u r telling about education systems, ok , govt has to give more priority for Govt Schools/ Govt must take away all private schools by paying their outrate cost, fully education system should be under Govt controll. U told GST introduction is a cause of economy backward , this is wrong, only the industries which they run previously without making proper taxes & improper maintenance of accounts & taxation, the business men’s who runs properly from long long time, they r survive now also. Because they r following proper accounts & taxation. Who r not followed , obviously they shutdown

From Henry James on Pope Francis calls for abolishing nuclear weapons

While I am at it, let me also bring up another important issue to the attention of the “spiritual head” of the church and it’s to do with so many scandals that have plagued the churches in the recent years due to aspects related to the parish financial matters, one of which even resulted in the death of one young priest in our diocese only a few weeks ago. As it turns out the ordained priests deputed to run the parishes have gone well above their remit and that has resulted in disputes between the clergy and the laity. Priests should be allowed only to run the religious aspects pertaining to the sheep (Repeat that 10 times) however what has become evident in the past very many decades is that these self-righteous priests poke their nose into financial matters of the parish as well. This, more often than not, ends up in altercations between the various factions within the church. These priests create these factions within the church for their own advantage. These priests preach one thing from the pedestal but are masters in running their mind games to ensure their control is exerted on every aspect of the church. It is not a rocket science to note but the financial matters should be left in the hands of the parish financial committee and the priest should not poke his nose in its day to day affairs, instead he should act in the capacity of how the president of our country ceremonially decorates the position to ensure the constitution of our country is upheld. That post for the most part should be ceremonial. But what we are finding is that these parish financial committees are only namesake while each and every matter is indirectly controlled by the priests. If anyone from the financial committee raises a dissenting voice, then the same priest through coup d’état, by clandestinely manipulating the other financial committee members will get rid of that person. This is totally unacceptable. The priest should remain only the spiritual head of the church and concern himself only with the matters of the religion. After all, the priests come and go after a few years where as the parishioners for the most part remain parishioners forever. The church and its property (be it commercial buildings, schools, income producing assets etc.) belong to the parish and its people. The schools and other assets are built using the contribution from the well-wishers of the church. The schools are run by tax payers’ money so what business it is of the priests to assume the role of the dictator? The parish financial committee should run the financial affairs of the parish, not the priest. The committee should be ultimately held accountable and there should be a due process to democratically replace that committee after a period with other qualified members. This ensures transparency and fairness in the affairs of the church. If such a system were to be followed, we would not see another unnatural death of a young priest. Coming to this recent disgraceful episode these priests in question have acted so disgracefully that they have caused us, the coastal Catholics, hang our collective heads in shame in front of others. How can we show our face in front of people from other communities? A silly matter that should have been amicably settled with the full purview of the financial committee was allowed to rot internally and we saw how it spectacularly blew up on our face only a few weeks ago in one of our neighbouring churches. I am deeply ashamed that this incident has taken place where people from other communities are also asking for enquiry into the death of the priests (they are not wrong by the way). These same priests lecture us every Sunday about virtues and vices. They guilt us into believing in all the celestial fairies just so that they can keep control over us, they offer counselling to the disputing parties be it between the divorcing couples or the broken families but in the end they could not even handle such a silly matter of disagreement between themselves. And now there appears to be a covert attempt made to systematically cover up the whole shameful episode. If this scandal is brushed under the carpet, why would anyone take these priests seriously? I am not at all a religious person but I take pride in my community and therefore it find it right that I express my views. Would someone higher up in the church take leadership and see facts are laid bare in front of the public and also ensure necessary changes are implemented so that such scandalous episodes never repeat again? The real irony is that the head parish priest in question is a talented musician and few decades ago, when he was the assistant parish priest at another church, he had released a Konkani devotional album with the title “Mog kar pelyaaso” (love thy neighbour) and there is a line in one of the songs which can be roughly translated as “before you make offerings to the God go and make amends with the one you have disagreement with…”. This is why I say they preach one thing while doing exactly the opposite. It’s nothing but sheer hypocrisy!

He should look closer to home and abolish compulsory celibacy for priests. That way a lot of scandals in the church could be avoided. Always remember when you deny what’s natural to the body it enters the mind and mind is the poison factory. Therefore please attention to this aspect. There are politicians to deal with nuclear weapons.

From Henry James on Yediyurappa opens Kalaburagi airport in north Karnataka

Why was Hubli airport a failure? The reason is that in order to make an airport to be commercially viable it takes more than just what the government can do in terms of providing infrastructure etc. A lot depends on the private players who are willing to take a massive gamble because you have to burn money every day to ensure your airline survives. We have seen plenty of airlines having gone bust due to not considering this fact in the last few years/decades. There is another important player in this equation and that is the passenger. If he/she can not afford the air travel, there is nothing the government nor the private players can do about it. All this budget airlines, monsoon dhamaka offers of cheap travel are not long term commercially viable business plans when it comes to airlines. Out of 100 seats available, if only 10 passengers can afford full/premium price while the rest of the seats have to be filled through discounted offers, the airlines can not break even. This affordability/viability is the reason why big airlines such as Emirates, Singpore airlines do not fly to Mangalore. Just getting passengers during festive seasons is not enough for them. My view is economically, northern Karnataka is still under-developed therefore introducing well connecting airlines at this stage is a foolish move. Develop road and rail infrastructure instead and when the over all economy of the region improves, then think about building airports. People who understand macro economics wouldn’t commit this blunder. I would say these airlines will cease operations in the next 2-3 years. It looks like the hidden motive behind this drama is that politicians needs a quick means to get to various regions of the State so they are burning tax payers’ money to build these white elephants so it will help them during election sojourns. It also helps them get votes by fooling voters about these projects.

From Rob Stan on 'Sheer Exasperation & Frustration Over handling My Misplaced Luggage by SpiceJet '- Ms Diana Fernandes

By going through the article I have a feeling that Diana’s phone & computers are hacked. Similar incident happened to me when I was travelling by Malaysian Airlines at LAX. When I reached the airport, the counter staff told me that I cannot travel as my flight is via Malaysia & Japan via code shared flight with certain number of hours of layover. But they allowed one elderly passenger who was in similar situation like me with the manager informing staff to put him in direct flight. But there was no direct flight & Malaysian Airlines ceased to operate from LAX in a few months due to financial constraints I believe & disappearance of flight from Malaysia to China with pilot saying “Good Night Malaysia” happened after a few months & one more accident of taking a shorter route via war zone in Ukraine possibly to save fuel. I feel that Spicejet has a lot to do to change their business model so that the counter staff & other do not have much of a say to decide matters about luggage fees etc & more of accountability since the customer lost luggage twice. I also advice people travelling from Bengalure to preferably use Fly Bus which goes directly to the airport & you can put any amount of luggage, reaches in 6 -7 hours with comfortable journey & no hassles even though one needs to spend a few hours more by road but it’s safer than catching a budget airline. Since ultra long flights are more than 20 hours duration, taking a few extra hours by road is worth it since one needs to spend so many hours to go to the airport, boarding & flying time etc., else one can split the journey in Bengaluru with travelling a day earlier.

From Henry James on 'Sheer Exasperation & Frustration Over handling My Misplaced Luggage by SpiceJet '- Ms Diana Fernandes

The overarching summary of this seemingly heart-rending “ordeal” is that Indians in India have truly been elevated to encounter the ‘first world problems’ these days in their daily lives compared to the ‘third world problems’ such as unwittingly getting caught up in a fight in front of a gadang or a kori-katta which they had to put up with not so many years ago . Needless to say all this has been possible because of the able leadership of our chief servant Modi-G.

Sorry to hear. Every business needs sensitive customer care representatives who can deal with compassion and speed. My understanding is that baggage is handled by another company. I suggest buying travel insurance which has several cimponents including baggage loss. Losing important items can be indeed frustrating.

From Rob Stan on Top 5 Easy Ways to Treat an Acid Reflux

Here’s my advice- Eat salad made of raw tomato, carrot etc., Use Greek yogurt instead of regular. Use very less spice. Fat free, 2% or full cream should not make a difference. Eat Raita made of Red onion. It also helps to get rid of cough (not normal cough) which normally requires antibiotic (Coughing like a dog with whoff whoff sound). Eat daal (toor or massoor) as half source of protein.

I had also a similar experience. Our seat on row 3 was not a more legroom seat, although we were spice max passengers. We were travelling from port Blair to ahmedabad via Chennai. The air hostess sakshi just claimed her inability to help, saying if there will be a vacancy, she may give us more legroom seats! Third person in our row also had max seat booked! Upon insisting for meeting the flight commander, some other employee of spice intervened, and asked us to go to emergency exit row, where some of the crew were sitting! I wonder how we were charged more legroom seats online where they were regular seats!!! Parul kotdawala

I had a similar experience with spicejet multiple times where food runs out… no options…boiler not working but one stands out …on my flight from goa to Mumbai…I had corporate tickets which I had played for a meal and nonalcholic beverage of my choice .. during the time of flight the airhostess only served the spicemax passegers… didnot serve us… we’re I sat patiently as I thought eventually she would come to us… then the captain started his descent .. i called the airhostess and told her about our meal .. she clearly said she forgot..i asked her to serve now .. then she said all food is finished.. I can take a water bottle and Pringles…I told her this was not right.. and not to serve us… as I didn’t like getting leftovers or begging for what I was promised any owed.. She was like why are you making an issue… as if this was a regular occurrence… but for sure never fly spicejet again

Alfie, the thing is that you paid for Spice-max for helping them. Even if no one had paid for those seats, then they would have asked volunteers to come forward to sit in rows of seats close to emergency exits. All airlines do this. Luggage priority is not always guaranteed as it is handled by third party. But what I feel is that, by reading this article they might give you a complimentary ticket for your next trip.

From Siva on Killed By A Card!

Who gets such a perfectly orchestrated dream :). But this can happen in real life. CC debt can really kill. it is a great message written in such a flowing style! I hope at least a few people get the message and spend as per their capacity rather than on such borrowed money. I have been through the pain of strangulating CC debt. It is not fun. The biggest disappointment for me is that I am a great spendthrift and yet gauntlet of CC did not spare me. I was able to come out after a few years tightening the belt for too many years. After that, I was comfortable for a few years but again a lapse of control. I could have controlled only if I accepted an extreme strain of relationship. That is why when I saw how the author has used the phrase ‘unconditional conditional love’, I had a smirky smile on my face and I can visualize the sarcastic smile of the author when writing this. Most love in this world is ‘conditional’. Anyway, I don’t want to digress. Let us talk about the love for CC. That love is definitely a death trap as the author says. Again congratulations and thanks to the author for providing such a strong message. I repeat: this is not a dream. It is more like a narration of real-life story. But the real-life does not provide such narrow escapes most of the time. Sad.

From PRAKASH DSOUZA OMAN on Fr Mahesh Suicide Case, Shirva Parishioners Stage Protest, Demand Justice

Final post mortem report !!! shocking? it will take a few more days still we agree. but the political person came to church & threatened the priest shown on the CCTV why he is not arrested still a question?? If he or she is an Aam Admi police would have taken to remand longtime back & by using the 3rd-grade method result was sure. Just for the reason culprit is a political person& money thrower still there is no arrest. Shame to the police. Still, police can take him to the custody & take his fingertips, match the same which the culprit slap on priest Cheek while threatening. Police & Bishop just giving excuses after excuses just want to drag the days & close the case by citing the reason of final post mortem report. A priest will never do suicide 100%. If 1% also he decide to suicide he would have wait his other priest & cook will go to sleep at 10 PM & after midnight at his room he would have done his job silently. He was a smart priest not a stupid donkey just run to the Principal cabin to such type of act. From this angle this is much 100% sure culprit was inside his cabin. One more point his hanging position itself is 1 more clue that it is a murder, not a suicide. My final request to the shirva parishioners Keep Protesting till the culprit is arrested. Stop Donating money to the church till the justice to Late Fr.Mahesh. Even if the family of Fr.Mahesh under threat to close the case Please encourage them. People should boycott that political party whichever party culprit belongs to b’coz the entire party is responsible for protecting the murderer. If this case close under political influence its difficult for the people of ones called peaceful village of Karnataka SHIRVA -Manchacal to live peacefully . yesterday was Priest today or tomorrow It will be our family member.

From Henry James on Hang me if I’ve wronged, says D K Shivakumar

Roy, I am assuming you are referring to DKS here when you mention human dignity? With that assumption, I would like to ask – How exactly was DKS’s dignity violated in the way ED has handled this case? People accused of crimes which are similar to which DKS is accused of would have had to go through far worse treatment. There are people accused of similar crimes who have been without bail for longer than DKS. In fact there is so much of prima facie evidence of money laundering against DKS and his associates/family members, in China he would have been executed by now. He keeps banging on this defense saying he hasn’t cheated anyone but economic crimes affect each and every citizen of this country. In fact the amount of pain such crimes indirectly cause to poor people is far more serious than a terrorist incident. Economic crimes make the whole country suffer due to the theft of nation’s wealth, the wealth which should have gone into the real economy to create jobs, generate wealth, uplift the poor, control inflation but what’s happening is that these elected fatcats steal in broad day light and still claim innocence. People like DKS, PC should be jailed for at least for 25 years because they have abused their position of power to their advantage. Not everyone gets the privilege to be the public servants. Until we bring about such severe punishment, India will continue to remain a banana republic. Once such laws are enacted, we won’t hear about another PNB, PMC, ILFS, Mallya type of scandal. It’s the fear of facing the consequences for breaking the law that keeps the country civilised. This 7 years max punishment is nowhere sufficient in proportion to the loot. Now, please do not bring up your whataboutisms – I know there are crooks in BJP too and I want them punished too. Congress can keep that in mind when they come to power next, whenever that is.

From ST, Mumbai on Anand Mahindra Gifts SUV to Krishna Kumar for taking his Mom on Nation Wide Pilgrimage Tour by Scooter

Don’t know who gets more ‘mileage’ from the reportage – Bajaj, for the 20 year old Chetak scooter, which had no problem making the lo…ng 48,100 kms journey, or Anand Mahindra for his free offer of a KUV 100 NXT car. I think Anand Mahindra could be a bit more generous, and gift D. Krishna Kumar a XUV 300 W4, which would be a far more comfortable car for the 71 year old lady to travel in, for the remaining part of the tour.

From Ganesh on They Came,They Worked, They Left a Mess Behind! Ignorance of Mescom Workers

This is a big problem and unfortunately Corporation does not care. Contractors of MESCOM, Telecom companies and the Corporation itself come for maintenance or repair work but after completion have no responsibility for leaving the area clean and restored properly. Interlock pavement blocks on which so much money will have been spent are simply left on the side after being removed to access cables or pipes buried in the earth below. These blocks then just break and lie scattered. What a waste of money and once a neat pavement is left in a poor condition. It did not have to be that way. The same interlock blocks should have been relaid after repairs of the cabling/pipe work below. This is state of mess near Kadri Temple Circle. Corporation does not care to hold the likes of MESCOM/Telecoms/Contractors responsible for restoring area properly after repairs.. so it’s free for all to dig up anywhere anytime and leave the mess behind.

From francis lobo Mangalore on Social Activist to the Rescue of Mangalorean Clifford Joseph Rebello facing Injustice with Abu Dhabi Employer

I do not know whether Mr. Rebello has engaged a lawyer or not. But with the meager compensation of 69000 Dirhams for the past four years what lawyer fee he can afford. This is tragic. I have seen Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis coming to these countries for meager salaries and their contracting companies exploiting them. The external affairs minister says they can help, but they will not unless a social activist pressurizes them. They may even ask forego the compensation and return back to India. I heard someone of my relative not getting a salary for the past 18 months. He has experience of 17 years in the company. If he resigns the company is not ready to accept as they have to pay him service benefits. So he is sitting there without salary and compensation. This is the situation in many of the companies in the Middle East. People think that the job is lucrative and go there and get stuck in situations out of which it is difficult to retrieve. Hope Rebello gets his compensation and a safe return

From Vinson Vaz on Social Activist to the Rescue of Mangalorean Clifford Joseph Rebello facing Injustice with Abu Dhabi Employer

I would like to respond to the situation faced by Clifford and as portrayed by Shodan who really went out of the way to let people know the situation faced by Clifford. As a lawyer by profession and presently heading the International department of one of the oldest law firm in the State of Kuwait and have been exposed to such related matters in relevance with the labor law, I would like to stress that Clifford had to hire the services of a lawyer for legal representation before the Court of First Instance and even the Appeal court. Please be informed that the Appeal Court judgment is not final and the matter can be appealed before the Supreme Court in all labor suits. Having said that, before the Appeal court judgment can be appealed before the Supreme court, his lawyer was supposed to open a file for execution of the Appeal court judgment at the Execution department of the court. If this was initiated it would have at least benefited Clifford to obtain sanctions imposed by the execution department against the defendant company which would be in the form of reservation of bank account, reservation on vehicles, reservation on shares, Travel ban and arrest warrant against the owners of the defendant company. Off course the defendant company can file a grievance before the Supreme court to not permit the execution of the Appeal court judgment in lieu of its looking into the matter, but this shall be at the discretion of the Supreme Court considering Clifford’s situation. It looks to me that the execution proceedings have not been initiated by Clifford’s lawyer which he needs to find out right away. Once the matter is appealed before the Supreme Court, the matter takes a long time for the panel of Judges to ascertain if the law has been applied or not in the previous lower courts. If yes then the Supreme Court will not even look into the matter and refuse the Appeal and revert back to the lower court judgment. Now if there is a delay in the matter coming up before the Supreme court, i suggest Clifford’s lawyer file a request for a speedy scrutiny of this file which will be entertained. Once the Supreme Court passes its final decision, Clifford’s lawyer should proceed with the execution procedures. Through the reservations, I have cited above, the execution department will block all funds it can lay its hands on from the defendant’s bank account and issue the funds to Clifford as and when they recover. If such efforts fail, the travel ban and arrest warrant are the only means to resort to. I regret to point out here that there is nothing the Indian outpost can do in this matter as it is before the courts of Abu Dhabi and it will take its own course and nothing can be done to expedite it. I hope what I have indicated herein would be beneficial to Clifford and even others who are in such a dilemma or facing a similar situation. If I could be of assistance to Clifford or to any other person especially for advice on legal mattes, I can be reached on vinson@tahrgrp.org

May be by love the priests mean compassion. Then again, why can’t they say so? Love and compassion are 2 different words in the dictionary, both differently spelt. In fact they exist several pages apart from each other. They may have the same root but they mean different things.

This now sends a clear signal to public that authorities are not biased with religion, they mean Justice. !! People should learn to mind their own business and live and let live in our society.

From Siva on Insulting Our Sacred Cross by Saffron Activists Against Conversions is Not Acceptable - Catholic Sabha

It is wrong to convert either by coercion or by inducement. But even worse is insulting the Holy Cross. There is no justification for that. Hinduism does not condone this. I am equally hurt with these acts because I believe in Jesus Christ. But, let us not be beguiled to believe that non-voluntary conversions take place. There is a strong reason for the percentage of Christians to remain the same since independence. In many places across India, such as Tamilnadu and Orissa for example, the converted people will not take any Christian names but rather stick to some local or even Sanskritized names such as Jagadeesan and during consensus, they say that they are Hindus mainly because they want to avail reservation facilities. This is not a fiction. One of my colleagues who is a converted Christians himself told me this. Of course, he had the justification and I had counter-argument and heated discussions. BTW, we are still friends. I am presenting this case only to say that the stat does not reveal vital insights. In any case, I unequivocally and unconditionally condemn any insult to the Holy Cross and sincerely apologize to all Christians as well as Hindus who revere Jesus Christ.

From Zuri on Shut down Mulki Divine Call Center for Promoting Conversion of Hindus - Sharan Pumpwell

Whether its true or false God will judge them. But one thing is clear – Those who come to fight against Jesus He will make them His own Messengers. That’s what is happening from the beginning till today.

From Kanikya on Shut down Mulki Divine Call Center for Promoting Conversion of Hindus - Sharan Pumpwell

Till today I (even many people) had never heard of that there is a retreat center in Mulki like in kerala. God works mysteriously in spreading His Gospel. This is the first step of God is using his accusers to make famous about this place of worship in Karnad, Mulki. I have seen and heard in my life about plenty of false accusers who went against Jesus in the beginning and towards the end they become the strong Messengers of Christ our Savior of the whole world. Starting St Paul till the present Church. i am also one among them. I have a strong message to tell everyone which i received from my Jesus – “I am the Lord of Love, Mercy, Kind and Compassion. I have come here to tell you all with Love, Mercy, Kind and Compassion – Repent and turn towards heaven, take your wings and train yourselves as angels. Very soon i go from here and come back as God of Anger. And if I fond any one without repentance, My Wrath will fall on him/her.” (He is talking about the day of Judgement. on that day there will be no mercy to anyone. He will act as Just Judge) MERCY of GOD is Greater than all His wonders and Miracles. He want’s the world to be prepared for His 2nd Coming. Therefor He says – “My Mercy should go everywhere in the world before I come as Just Judge.” (The revelations given to St Maria Foustina Kowalska). There fore dear people, irrespective of cast and creed, race and religion, sinful and righteous, rich and poor, haves and have nots, etc.. all kinds of distinct people, i urge you to beg for the Mercy of God with your repented hearts and Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Jesus loves not only righteous people, but His false accusers also, because He don’t want to loose their souls. The false accusations that they are making is not against the priest or that lady; but against God alone. Its God’s work, and i trust God will utilize them for His ministry of preparing the world for His 2nd coming as a Just Judge. Dear Fr Abraham, and Lady Irene, and all lovers of Jesus, It is the right time for you to witness for the love of Christ. Remember these words of Jesus and be strong. “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Mt.10:28

Nobody can convert anybody forcefully just like nobody can make you to eat food from the platter forcefully. It’s individuals choice to believe in a particular faith other then their original belief. For Centuries prominent leaders and scholars of all cast and religions studied in Christian schools then nobody had a problem and now why all this drama by these fanatics

Jesus is not in saffron or white ,He remains in all as the Savoir to humanity .He did not come to Convert , But he came and still alive to give life & life in fulness to all the Human beings. So I welcome the gesture of Bishop . A true Indian. Jai Hind ,jai yesu to all.Vinod Dayalan.

From Peter Morris on Two women accused of Converting People in Belman handed over to Police

Christ did not come into this world to start any religion, but unfortunately these days some fanatical Christians who are brain washed fundamentalists think that proselytizing is everything. Go and spread the Good news never meant, go and offend people of other faith by distributing pamphlets and Bibles. The Good news is not the printed material, but the message of empowerment through education that every human being is created by God and that the Almighty wants them to live a life that is in alignment with the creator’s plan for human kind. Such acts of brainwashed fundamentalist Christians has tarnished the hard work of selfless missionaries who have sacrificed their lives to live with and help the poor and marginalized by providing them education and healthcare. Now these victims will suffer in silence, because the so called leaders/churches/pastors who misguided them will be no where near to help them with legal aid or common sense guidance.
