- એક પ્રતિનિધિ

માયનોરિટી કોઓર્ડિનેશન કમિટી ગુજરાતે અમરેલી જિલ્લાની ભારતનગર પ્રાથમિક શાળામાં શિક્ષક દ્વારા સગીર વયની છોકરીઓના યૌન ઉત્પીડનની ઘટનાને લઈને ગુજરાત રાજ્યના પોલીસ મહાનિદેશકને પત્ર લખીને વિશેષ તપાસ ટીમ (SIT)ની રચના કરવાની માંગ કરી છે.

પત્રમાં જણાવવામાં આવ્યું છે કે, ભારતનગર પ્રાથમિક શાળાના શિક્ષક મહેન્દ્ર પટેલ દ્વારા શાળામાં ભણતી છાત્રાઓને દારૂ પીવડાવીને યૌન ઉત્પીડન કરવામાં આવતું હતું. આ ઘટનાની જાણ એક છોકરીએ તેના વાલીઓને કરતાં વાલીઓએ શિક્ષકને રંગે હાથે પકડ્યો હતો. આ મામલે અમરેલી રૂરલ પોલીસ સ્ટેશનમાં તા. ૨૭ ફેબ્રુઆરી ૨૦૨૫ના રોજ એફઆઈઆર નંબર ૧૧૧૯૩૦૦૪૨૫૦૧૧૭ નોંધાઈ છે. જોકે, એફઆઈઆરમાં દારૂનો ઉલ્લેખ નથી, જ્યારે શિક્ષકના એક ચોક્કસ સંગઠન સાથેના સંબંધ પણ સામે આવ્યા છે.

કમિટીના કન્વીનર મુજાહિદ નફીસે પત્રમાં જણાવ્યું કે, “આ ગંભીર ઘટનામાં શિક્ષક દારૂ ક્યાંથી લાવતો હતો? બીજા કોણ સામેલ છે? અન્ય કેટલી બાળાઓ આનો ભોગ બની છે? અને આ શિક્ષકે અગાઉની શાળાઓમાં શું કર્યું હતું? તેની સઘન તપાસ થવી જોઈએ.”

કમિટીએ આ મામલે નીચે મુજબની માંગણીઓ કરી છે:

- IG રેન્કના અધિકારીની દેખરેખ હેઠળ SITની રચના કરવી.

- શાળાના અન્ય બાળકો પાસેથી માહિતી મેળવીને વધુ પીડિતોની શોધ કરવી.

- શિક્ષકના સંગઠન સાથેના સંબંધોની તપાસ કરવી.

- દારૂના સ્ત્રોતની તપાસ કરવી.

- પીડિતાઓને વિક્ટિમ કમ્પેન્સેશન સ્કીમ હેઠળ સહાય આપવી.

- કેસની સુનાવણી ફાસ્ટ ટ્રેક કોર્ટમાં રોજેરોજ ચલાવવી.

- વિશેષ પ્રોસિક્યુટરની નિમણૂક કરવી.

- ૩૦ દિવસમાં તપાસ પૂર્ણ કરવી.

મુજાહિદ નફીસે જણાવ્યું કે, “આવી ઘટનાઓ રોકવા અને પીડિતોને ન્યાય અપાવવા તાત્કાલિક કાર્યવાહી જરૂરી છે.” આ પત્રની નકલ શિક્ષણ મંત્રી, રેન્જ આઈજી ભાવનગર અને એસપી અમરેલીને પણ મોકલવામાં આવી છે.

Aurangzeb’s last will recorded by his Maulvi: Allah shouldn't make anyone emperor

By Mohan Guruswamy Aurangzeb’s grave is a simple slab open to the sky lying along the roadside at Khuldabad near Aurangabad. I once stopped by to marvel at the tomb of an Emperor of India whose empire was as large as Ashoka the Great's. It was only post 1857 when Victoria's domain exceeded this. The epitaph reads: "Az tila o nuqreh gar saazand gumbad aghniyaa! Bar mazaar e ghareebaan gumbad e gardun bas ast." (The rich may well construct domes of gold and silver on their graves. For the poor folks like me, the sky is enough to shelter my grave) The modest tomb of Aurangzeb is perhaps the least recognised legacies of the Mughal Emperor who ruled the land for fifty eventful years. He was not a builder having expended his long tenure in war and conquest. Towards the end of his reign and life, he realised the futility of it all. He wrote: "Allah should not make anyone an emperor. The most unfortunate person is he who becomes one." Aurangzeb’s last will was re...

Trust, we (from People to PM and President) did not take a Holy Dip in some Holy Shit!

By Dr Mansee Bal Bhargava I could see two deeply interlinked aspects between human and water in #MahaKumbh2025. Firstly, the HOPE that a ‘holy dip’ in the River Ganga (colloquially referred as dubki and spiritually as ‘Snan’) will cleanse oneself (especially the sins); and secondly, the TRUST that the water is pure to perform the cleansing alias living the hope. Well, I consider hope to be self-dependent while, trust is a multi-party dependent situation. The focus here is on the trust and I shall write later on hope.
