Muslim clerics

    After Abdul Rahman's arrest and the subsequent outrage and criticism of the Afghan government, notable Afghan clerics spoke out against his possible release. Afghan clerics have denounced what they assert is interference by other countries and by President Hamid Karzai with the autonomy of the Afghan courts. Maulavi Habibullah told more than a thousand clerics and young people gathered in Kabul that "Afghanistan does not have any obligation under international laws. The prophet says, when somebody changes religion, he must be killed." Many clerics have spoken out to the media saying that Abdul Rahman should receive the death penalty for apostasy.
 
   Cleric Enayatullah Baligh, speaking at one of Kabul's main mosques said, "We respect all religions but we don't go into the British embassy or the American embassy to see what religion they are following. We won't let anyone interfere with our religion and he should be punished.

    Ahmad Shah Ahmadzai, a prominent mujahidin leader and head of the Hizb-i-Iqtadar-i-Islami Afghanistan, and former acting prime minister in the government of Burhanuddin Rabbani before the Taliban came to power in 1996, said, "Regardless of the court decision [whether or not he is hanged], there is unanimous agreement by all religious scholars from the north to the south, the east to the west of Afghanistan, that Abdul Rahman should be executed. There is widespread dissent among the masses against the activities of Christian missionaries. These missions exploit the poverty of Afghan people and they pay them to convert. These activities will only translate into fierce reaction as Afghans do not tolerate anything against their religion. Since Abdul Rahman comes from Panjshir, people of the area are coming down to Kabul to show their dissent against him and demand that the court execute him."


        Muslim cleric Abdul Raouf, a member of Afghanistan's main Islamic organization, the Afghan Ulama Council, stated "Rejecting Islam is insulting God. We will not allow God to be humiliated. This man must die." Raouf, who is described by the AP as "moderate", is quoted as saying: "Cut off his head!" and "We will call on the people to pull him into pieces so there's nothing left." Raouf said Abdul Rahman will only survive if he goes into exile. During his sermon at Herati Mosque on March 24, 2006, Raouf told around 150 worshippers that Abdul Rahman deserved death since he had "committed the greatest sin. God's way is the right way, and this man whose name is Abdul Rahman is an apostate."


       Mirhossain Nasri, the top cleric at Hossainia Mosque, said "If he is allowed to live in the West, then others will claim to be Christian so they can too," he said. "We must set an example. ... He must be hanged."^[5]
     Muslim cleric Mohammed Qasim who resides in the northern city of Mazari Sharif, said: "We don't care if the West drops its support for us. God will look after Afghanistan."

எம்.பி. நிதியின் மூலம் பாராளுமன்ற தொகுதி முழுவதும் 400–க்கும் மேற்பட்ட ஆழ்துளை கிணறுகள் போடப்பட்டுள்ளது. பொதுமக்கள் அதிகம் கூடும் இடங்களில் உயர்கோபுர மின்விளக்குகள், ஆரம்பப்பள்ளி, நடுநிலைப்பள்ளி, மேல்நிலைப்பள்ளிகள் என 70 பள்ளிகளுக்கு கட்டிடங்கள் கட்டி கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.

சென்னை–பெங்களூர் தேசிய நெடுஞ்சாலையில் விபத்துக்களை குறைக்க 12 சுரங்கப்பாதை, மேம்பாலங்கள் அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. தற்போது சத்துவாச்சாரியில் எனது முயற்சியால் சுரங்கப்பாதை அமைக்க நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கப்பட்டு வருகிறது. வாணியம்பாடியில் ரூ.9 கோடி செலவில் 5 நிமிடத்துக்கு ரெயில்வே கேட் திறந்து மூடும் வகையில் அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதன் இறுதிகட்ட பணிகள் நடைபெற்று வருகின்றன. மாநில அரசின் ஒப்புதலுக்காக காத்து கிடக்கிறது.

 

 இவ்வாறு அவர் கூறினார்

Government officials

Government officials

 

Agence France Presse (AFP) quoted an unidentified Afghan official as saying that president Hamid Karzai has personally interfered in Abdul Rahman's case to secure the convert's release. "The president is personally working to resolve it peacefully. There is a way out of it," said the official. "I believe it'll take one or two days."^[35]
Former Afghanistan Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullah said during a press conference with US Under Secretary for Political Affairs R. Nicholas Burns, "I know that it is a very sensitive issue and we know the concerns of the American people. In fact, in our embassy we received hundreds of messages of such kind. As far as I understand the nature of the case has been that the wife of the gentleman has registered a lawsuit against her husband. And then the Government of Afghanistan has nothing to do in it. It's a legal and judicial case. But I hope that through our constitutional process there will be a satisfactory result out of that process."^[36] He also stated: "Every time we have a case it is like an alarm. These contradictions [between freedom of religion and sharia] will not go away with one or two cases."^[37]
Ansarullah Mawlawizadah announced international pressure will not affect his rulings in the case, saying: "There is no direct pressure on our court so far, but if it happens we will consider it as an interference. We have a constitution and law here. Nobody has the right to put pressure on us."^[38] In an interview to AFP, Mawlawizadah confirmed his position: "We have nothing to do with diplomatic issues. We'll do our job independently."^[35] He says that he expects to rule in the case in the next several days.^{[38]

Abdulrahman Early life

Abdul Rahman was born in 1965.
In 1990, when working as a staff member for a Catholic non-governmental aid group providing medical assistance to Afghan refugees in Peshawar, Pakistan, he came in touch with Christianity and was subsequently baptised into the Roman Catholic Church.^[5] After his conversion he adopted the Biblical name Joel.^[6]
In 1993, he moved to Germany and later unsuccessfully sought asylum in Belgium before being deported to Afghanistan^[8] in 2002 after the fall of the Taliban government.^[9]

 

Abdul Rahman's wife divorced him because of his conversion to Catholicism.^[7] In the ensuing custody battle over the couple's two daughters,^[10] who had been raised by Abdul Rahman's parents during his absence,^[11] the mother's family raised the issue of his religion as grounds for denying him custody.
When he returned to Afghanistan, he was disowned by his parents, who stated: "Because he has converted from Islam to another religion we don't want him in our house" and "[Abdul Rahman] wanted to change the ethics of my children and family. He is not going in the right direction. I have thrown him out of my house", while his daughters said that "He behaves badly with us and we were threatened and disgraced by him. He has no job and has never given me a stitch of clothing or a crust of bread. Just his name as a father" and "He said he was my father but he hasn't behaved like a father since he came back to Afghanistan. He threatens us and we are all afraid of him and he doesn't believe in the religion of Islam."

About Abdul Rahman

Abdul Rahman (Arabic: عبدالرحمن‎) (born 1965) was an Afghan citizen who was arrested in February 2006 and threatened with the death penalty for converting to Christianity. On March 26, 2006, under heavy pressure from foreign governments, the court returned his case to prosecutors, citing "investigative gaps".^[1] He was released from prison to his family on the night of March 27.^[2] On March 29, Abdul Rahman arrived in Italy after the Italian government offered him asylum.^[3]

Abdul Rahman's arrest and trial brought international attention to an apparent contradiction in the Constitution of Afghanistan, which recognizes both a limited form of freedom of religion and the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence, which mandates the death penalty for apostasy from Islam. The case attracted widespread international condemnation, notably from the United Kingdom and the United States, both of whom led the campaign to remove the fundamentalist Taliban regime in 2001 and are the main donors to Afghanistan.

The bonded labour, the child labour, etc. Are fast disappearing giving place to new social order. A striking feature of the social change is that the district achieved cent percent literacy owing to the effective implementation of the Arivoli, Movement.

The Samathuvapurams that are being set up, in various parts of the district , herald a new era, as social harmony and peaceful co-existence of different communities are the basic concept of this scheme. The Varumun Kappom Thittam by proving basic infrastructure to rural folk for a free medical examination is indeed a milestone in the social history of Tamil Nadu.

      The cultural impact in the society is also very significant same of the traditional arts of the District like the Therukoothu., an art form folk theaters, Kokkalikottai, a famous traditional dance in the district are gradually vanishing. But it is also a matter of solace to note that some of the handicrafts for which the Vellore district are renowned, are still flourishing . Mats making in Walajapet, silk weaving in Arni and the traditional art of pot making in Vellore and places around, are some of the handicrafts which are enable to successfully withstand challenges through ages. The poomalai., scheme that has been introduced by the govt. will not only preserve the traditional handicrafts, but also promote their growt

HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE OF VELLORE DISTRICT

 HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE OF VELLORE DISTRICT

Vellore, the Head- Quarters of Vellore District situated in 12' 35' N and 79' 9' E , has a very interesting History of its own. A strategically located town, it is well connected by Rail and bus routes to major towns of the neighboring states like A.P. Karnataka and Kerala. The History of the district assumes a great significance and relevance, as we unfold the glorious past. It was under the sway of various dynasties and rulers, the prominent among them being the Pallavas , Cholas of Uraiyur, the Rashtrakutaa dynasty of Malkhed, Sambuvarayar, the rulers of Vijayanagarm, Mamathas, the Nawabs of the carnatic and the British. The Monuments found in the district give a vivid picture of the town through the ages. In the 18 th Century Vellore District was the scene of some of the decisive bettles fought in Ambur (1749) A.D Arcot (1751) A.D and Vandivasi (1760A.D) as a result of the long -drawn struggle between the English and the French for Supremacy.

    One of the monuments of Vellore is the fort and its exact date of construction could not be established, in the absence of proper records. A very close examination of the stone inscriptions suggests that the fort in all probability might have been built during the rule of Chinna. Bommi Nayak (1526 to 1595A. D) . The fort is one of the most perfect specimens of Military architecture in S.India.

          The Jalakandeswarar Temple inside the fort is very fine example of Vijayanagar architecture. The Kalyanamantap, on the left of the entrance, with intricate caring and delicacy of exaction, bears testimony to the engineering marble and advanced state of sculpture of the times. Another land mark that has put Vellore on the center stage of Medical world is the Christian Medical College Hospital. Dr . IDA Scudder, the American lady, with a missionary zeal, started her Medical work in 1900 A.D. by setting up a very small Hospital, which in the last hundred years has grown into a premier Medical Institution of international repute. The central prison in Vellore , set up in 1830 A.D. is another Historically important land mark as some eminent personalities and Freedom Fighters like Thiru. Rajaji, Thiru C.N. Annadurai, Thiru. K. Kamaraj , the former presidents of India Thiru. V.V.Giri, Thiru. R.VenkataRaman had served their prison terms here. The other note worthy monuments are the Mausoleums located in Aruganthampoodi area on the Vellore - Arcot road, where the family members of Tippu Sultan were buried and the Muthu mandapam on the banks of river of palar, a memorial raised by the Tamil Nadu Government to honor Vikarama Rja Singha , the last Tamil King who ruled Kandy (Srilanka ) from 1798 to 1815 A.D. He was imprisoned in Vellore fort for 17 yearshttp://www.abdulrahaman.com

It is one of the prominent and well known medical destinations^{[5][9][10][11][12]} in India, having reputations nationally and internationally.^[13][14] It is also one of the top ranked medical colleges in India.^[5] Founded in 1900 by an American missionary, Dr Ida S. Scudder, the institute has made significant achievements in the past like starting the first college of nursing in India (1978), performing the first Reconstructive Surgery for Leprosy in the World (1948), performing the first successful Open Heart Surgery in India (1961), performing the first Kidney Transplant in India (1971), performing first Bone Marrow Transplantation (1986) in India and performing the first successful ABO incompatible Kidney Transplant in India (2009).^[15]

History

The hospital was founded by Ida Sophia Scudder in 1900. Ida Scudder was the daughter of an American missionary couple who were living in India. She was born in 1870 at Tindivanam, which was about 60 miles from the then Madras. As a young girl, she was not interested in pursuing her parents' footsteps into missionary works. The Scudder family went back to America in 1878 and then returned to India after a few years. But Ida Scudder had stayed back in America. In 1890, she had to return to India to take care of her ailing mother.^[1]
It was at that point of time that she witnessed the pathetic condition of medical services in India, and felt the desperate need for women doctors in India. One evening, an Indian man came to their home requesting medical help for his wife who was in labour. But he rejected Dr John Scudder, the father of Ida Scudder's offer to help, as Indian social customs had anathematized male doctors' conducting of labour. Two more men came with similar requests, seeking medical help for their wives in labour, but again turning down Dr John Scudder's offer. The three women died in labour that night. The incident rocked Ida Scudder to the core.^[1][16][17]
She changed her repulsive attitude towards India and made her mind to get a medical degree so she could be of some help to Indian women. She went back to America and in 1895, she enrolled in the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania. She completed her course in 1899 at Cornell University Weill Medical College.^[16] She came back to India with a "fiery passion to change things."^{[1]
n the year 1945, Laboratory Technician training course was started. In 1946 a college of nursing, India's first, was started. In 1947, first batch of men medical students were admitted. Medical Postgraduate Courses (MD and MS) were started in 1950. In 1969 Postgraduate degree courses in nursing were started.[1]}
A number of other people also played an important role in the development of the college including Dr Theodore Howard Somervell, a British surgeon, Dr Paul Brand, another British surgeon, Dr Edward Gault, an Australian surgeon and pathologist, and Dr Mary Verghese, an Indian Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist. ^[1]

Vellore city

 Formation of Board will help Palar regain its flow, says meeting

"The Palar Board should be created in order to ensure that the link to Palar was included in the scheme of diverting the west-flowing waters from Nethravathi."

A meeting of stakeholders convened by M. Abdul Rahman, Vellore MP, to discuss measures to revive water flow in the Polar and prevent pollution of the river held at the Collectorate here has urged the MP to take expeditious steps for the formation of Palar River Board on the lines of the Tungabhadra Board to implement schemes for linking of other rivers with the Palar and ensuring perennial water flow in the river.

A.C. Venkatesan, president of Tamil Nadu Pasumai Padhukappu Makkal Iyakkam, said that Karnataka has submitted to the Centre a proposal to divert the water from Nethravathi River which is flowing into the Arabian Sea to irrigate the parched areas in Kolar district. Utilising this proposal, Tamil Nadu should press for the extension of the scheme up to Palar since the distance between Kolar and Palar is very short.

The Palar Board should be created in order to ensure that the link to Palar was included in the scheme of diverting the west-flowing waters from Nethravathi. He wanted the Palar to be surveyed and stones erected to prevent indiscriminate quarrying of sand.

      Mr. Abdul Rahman said that the Speaker of Lok Sabha has allotted time for him to speak in Parliament on Thursday. At that time, he would press for the formation of the Palar Board and for the linking of Nethravathi with Palar. Agreeing with the need to stabilise the ecological survival mechanism of the Palar, especially its sand wealth, he said that an inspection committee constituted by the Union government was currently on the job of inspecting the damage caused to the ecology in Palar.
    Thangamani, Superintending Engineer, Central Water Commission, promised total cooperation of the CWC for the river conservation and river link projects of Tamil Nadu. The CWC has proposed to implement an upgrading scheme for 49 irrigation tanks in the State, under the Renovation, Restoration and Reconstruction component of the Water Resources Management Programme. Twenty-nine of the 49 tanks identified are in Vellore district, he said.

About Vellore District

May The tribe of Abdul Rahman, Hon'ble Member Parliament, increase!!!

http://www.abdulrahaman.com

It was on the 8th February, 2011 that the Parliamentary Standing Committee on IT visited Assam to review e-Governance and NeGP status in the State. In one of its first meetings chaired by Sri Jesudas Seelam, Hon'ble MP on the progress of e-Registration, a string of question and answers were going on. The Government of Assam was represented by Sri V. K. Pipersenia IAS, Principal Secretary, Revenue, Sri Niraj  Verma IAS, Commissioner & Secretary, IT and truly yours. It was also attended among others by Sri Deepak Goswami, SIO, NIC, Assam. Deepak himself is a FOSS enthusiast. Sri VK Pipersenia has the reputation of over-ruling purchase of Microsoft Office for the CLR (Computerization of Land Records) Project rolled out in 200+ Circle offices in the State last year. Due to his strong stand, we not only were able to push OpenOffice.Org in all the PCs supplied, but also gave training to the Revenue Staff in FOSS. Here I would mention that the Dharitri, which is otherwise a very good software prepared by NIC for Land Records, is in Client server model and is based on MS .Net. 

The reason why I am writing this Blog is that while the Standing Committee was sitting on one side of the conference table, and we on the other, among the several questions being bombarded by the Hon'ble Committee members, i heard one question and it got me floored, "Are you using open source? What is the platform of your application?" To this Deepak replied that It was on Microsoft .Net. Then another question, "Why you are not using open source?" to which Deepak promptly replied that they were migrating to FOSS in the third version of the Software.
