EAMCET Postponed to 22 May

EAMCET-2011 examination date has been postponed from 8 May to 22 May to  accommodate bypolls to be held for one Assembly and one Lok Sabha seat in Kadapa District. The postponement will affect around 3.5 lakh students in the State. The postponement of this crucial exam will force students to alter their study schedules. Several students from AP will be preparing for other prominent competitive exams too and this will affect their preparation plans.

The Election Commission announced the polling date on Wednesday and though APSCHE could have requested the EC to change the date to avoid a clash with the exams, it took a unilateral decision on Thursday to postpone the exam by two weeks. The chief electoral officer Mr Bhanwar Lal had even assured Eamcet officials on Thursday that he would take up the issue of changing the date with the Election Commission of India, and sought a day’s time for the purpose. However, the Eamcet committee held an emergency meeting at the APSCHE office on Thursday evening and decided to postpone the examination.

However, the chairman of APSCHE, Prof. Jayaprakash Rao, claimed at a press meet that the decision to postpone the exam was made after the Election Commission refused to change the polling date. He explained that as per the orders of the AP State Human Rights Commission, to avoid students getting caught up in traffic jams and reaching late for the exam, Eamcet is held only on Sundays. Therefore, EAMCET-2011 has been postponed to Sunday 22 May.

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
