अस्सलाम वालेकुम व रहमतुल्लाहि व बरकातुहु

मुस्लिम परसनल लॉ खतरे में हैं, एैसे में हमें क्या करना है?

केंद्रीय सरकार ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट में एक हलफ़नामा दाखिल किया है, जिसमें साफ़ साफ़ कहा गया है कि तीन त़लाक़ की भारत में इजाज़त नहीं दी जा सकती,मतलब ये है कि तीन त़लाक़ चाहे जिस तरह भी दी जाये,एक मजलिस में तीन बार त़लाक़ को तीन नहीं माना जायेगा,और मियॉं बीवी को अलग नहीं किया जायेगा, यानी भारतीय संविधान के मुत़ाबिक़ तीन तलाक़ देने के बाद भी वैवाहिक रिशता जूँ का तूँ  बाक़ी रहेगा, जबकि शरई लॉ में ये हराम है.

सरकार का ये नज़रिया शरई लॉ,(कुरान व हदीस) के खिलाफ़ है,और तथाकथित समाजी बुराईयों पर रोकथाम के नाम पर इस्लाम पर हमला है,साथ ही संविधान के संहिता 25(1)26(B) में दिये गये सभी देश वासियों को मज़हबी आज़ादी को भी खतम करना है, एैसे में  देश भर के सभी संगठनों के जिम्मेदारों,मस्जिदों के इमामों ,मदरसों के उलमा,व जिम्मेदार,और सभी दानिशवरों समेत सभी मुसलमानों से अपील है कि मुस्लिम परसनल लॉ बोर्ड द्वारा जारी किये गये फार्म का प्रिन्ट आऊट करायें, सभी मुसलमानों के घर घर जाकर, औरतों  कि राय ले और फार्म भरवायें, उस पर उनसे साईन करवायें,और दिये गये पते पर रजिस्ट्री डाक से भेज दें.

साथ ही सभी इमामों से अपील है कि जुमा की तक़रीर में,मुसलमानों को इस नाजुक मुआमले को समझायें,तलाक़ के हक़ के ग़लत इस्तिमाल को रोकने की ताकीद करें,और मुस्लिमों को समझायें कि तलाक़ के केसों को शरई पंचायतों,दारुल क़ज़ाओं से हल करवायें,अदालतों में हरगिज़ ना जायें.

इस पूरे मुआमला की सुनवाई सुप्रीम कोर्ट में चल रही है,बोर्ड और सरकार दोनों ने ही अपना अपना हलफ़नामा दाखिल कर दिया है, एैसे में मुस्लिम औरतों के हस्ताक्षर के साथ ये फार्म बोर्ड को मज़बूती देगा, और सुप्रीम कोर्ट को ये समझाने के लिये काफी होगा कि देश की 90% मुस्लिम महिलायें कुरान व शरीयत के मुताबिक़ ही अपनी समाजिक व वैवाहिक जिंदगी गुज़ारना चाहती हैं,और शरीयत की तरफ़ से मर्दों को दिये गये तीन त़लाक़  के हक़ पर उन्हें कोई आपत्ति या  शिकायत नहीं है.

तो आईये हम सब मिलकर मुस्लिम परसनल लॉ बोर्ड के साथ क़दम से क़दम मिलायें और सरकार व कोर्ट को ये बतादें कि हम मुसलमान अपनी शरीयत,अपने कुरान और इस्लाम के साथ ही इस देश में रहेंगें,और इनमें किसी की भी दखलअंदाज़ी हरगिज़ बरदाश्त नहीं करेंगें...इंशाअल्लाह

Attestation Facility For Job Seekers To Start At Mumbai Passport Office

Mohammed Chand Shaikh I Blog Post No. 158. I Date : 12.10.2016.

Mumbai : The facility of attestation/apostille of educational and other relevant documents of job seekers would be made available at the Regional Passport Office (RPO) here after Ministry of External Affairs' decision to decentralise the process.

Regional Passport Officer, Mumbai, Swati Kulkarni said the process will come into force from October 13.

"The MEA has decided to decentralise the work of attestation/apostille of documents of Indian citizens. Those residing in Maharashtra, Dadra Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu can now apply for it at three outsourced attestation application centres and our office will legalise their documents from October 13 onwards," Ms Kulkarni said.

The attestation application centres are trade centre in G Block of BKC, M/s Superb enterprises, Ashoka Shopping Centre near G T hospital and BLS International Services in Navi Mumbai.

Earlier, applicants seeking jobs abroad, needing to get their relevant documents attested, had to travel to Ministry of External Affairs office in New Delhi for the purpose.

Ministry of External affairs recently decentralised the process and entrusted various RPOs in several states to carry out of the process.

Apostille is endorsement of documentation done in 105-member countries of the Hague convention which obviates the need for legalisation of foreign public documents.

RPOs at Guwahati, Chennai, Hyderabad are among the ones that have already been entrusted to carry out attestation and apostille.

"Applicants would need requisite approval from the General Administration Department and thereafter, they would have to file their applications at the three outsourced attestation application centres. From there, applications would be forwarded to us and we will legalise their documents," said Ms Kulkarni.

Apart fro, Mumbai, the facility will also start at Chandigarh, Goa, Bangaluru and Trivandrum RPOs.

"This move would benefit lakhs of overseas job seekers from the entire Maharashtra and the two neighbouring Union Territories," she added.

There is no definition or clarity on what police verification is : states in report, released by Jana Mahiti of Janaagraha Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy

Mohammed Chand Shaikh I Blog Post No. 157. I Date : 27.04.2016.

Jana Mahiti on Police Verification of Passport Applicants, was released in Bengaluru on Monday by Justice Santosh Hegde.

The report, was prepared with over two years of studies with a detailed analysis of reports of corruption procured from some online portal. 

 “Police verification which is mandatory for issuing passport is unscientific, ineffective and redundant. Dispensing with the police verification process could eliminate corruption in the police department dealing with the passport work,” stated in the report, 

The report stated that not only corruption can be eliminated if the Regional Passport Office (RPO) makes amendments to the Schedule III of Passport Act 1980 to dispense with the verification process, but it also can enhance its service by adopting a few additional steps, like obtaining information from multiple agencies, while issuing passports.

The Modi Government Is Developing The Baap Of All Apps, And Here’s All You Need To Know About It.

Mohammed Chand Shaikh I Blog Post No. 156. I Date : 27.04.2016.

From passport services to income tax, from railway ticket bookings to land records, the Narendra Modi government is working on a mobile application project that’ll eventually bring some 200 central, state and local government services onto a single platform.

In the pipeline for over eight months, the Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance (UMANG) project was conceptualized to tap into India’s smartphone boom.

The project is being developed by the union ministry of communications and information technology’s national e-governance division (NeGD), which is currently looking for a partner agency to develop and roll out the platform.

“Everyone is carrying a smartphone and using the internet on mobile,” an NeGD official told Quartz. “So we want to provide services wherever the citizens are.”

Instead of endless waiting at government offices, users will be able to access these multiple services in 13 languages through a centralised mobile app. For users without smartphones, these services will also be available through SMS and a single toll-free number.

Most services on the platform will be those offered by the central, state or local government. But some private sector applications too will be considered, according to a request for proposal.

The following list of services will make it to the centralized app:

• National scholarship
• Healthcare applications
• Passport Seva
• Crime and criminal tracking network and systems
• Commercial tax/GST
• Income tax
• CBSE/State Education boards
• E-Municipality
• IRCTC
• Utility bills
• Mother and child tracking
• Public distribution system
• e-court
• Land records
• PF/NPS

Within the first year of deployment, the UMANG platform is targeting about 50 services, which will eventually grow to 200 by the third year. Some of these will come from state and local governments, but the platform itself will be developed and deployed by the central government. State governments, however, will be able to distinctly brand their own services within the app.

Overall, it’s an ambitious list, especially given the disparate state of government services at different levels, but the NeGD is pushing to build an open-source platform that will allow for easy on-boarding of new services. “UMANG platform and mobile app, in addition to the services on-boarded through the platform, shall have functionalities to integrate with mobile applications developed by various government departments separately,” the request for proposal added.

The NeGD will also create a financial incentive for its partner agency to bring more government departments within the UMANG ecosystem.

UMANG will be designed to also integrate with existing services like Aadhaar for authentication, the online payments platform PayGov, and Digilocker, the government’s cloud-based document management system. 

Potentially, this means the platform could allow users to request for a government service, verify their identity, provide the required documents and pay for the entire process through a single app on their smartphone.

There are, of course, concerns over security and privacy considering the amount of information that UMANG will be sitting on. 

“The UMANG platform should look at the usage at an aggregate as well as at an individual level,” the request for proposal said. “Relevant dashboards should be available for decision makers about the platform’s performance and usage and insights on user information (demographic, location, behavioural aspects etc.).”

This isn’t the first time that the Modi government has tried to build a mobile app to streamline bureaucratic processes. The entrepreneur-focused “Start up India, Stand Up India” plan, for example, also features an app that will allow startups to register in a single day and acts as a single point of contact for other approvals and clearances. In comparison, UMANG seems significantly more complex and a much bigger challenge.

But for now, the Modi government is still looking to find someone willing—and able—to build this Lord of the Apps.
