			<title>LUCKNOW: Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust appointed three new trustees at its meeting on Wednesday : Delhi-based Mahesh Bhagchandka, a relative of late VHP leader Ashok Singhal; Ayodhya’s Madan Mohan Pandey; and Shikohabad’s Nirmala Yadav.The appointments come as the trust deliberates on the service conditions and standard operating procedure for the post of chief executive officer.Trust members will also consider three names recommended by the selection committee and decide their order of priority.The candidates are expected to be placed in priority order from one to three. After the first-priority candidate is decided, the Trust will approach the person with a remuneration package. If the candidate accepts the offer, the appointment is likely to be announced on Thursday.“Trust members will examine the recommended names and discuss the responsibilities, reporting structure and other terms linked to the post before making the final decision. The appointment will be announced after the selected candidate formally accepts the offer,” said a highly placed source.The selection committee has recommended three names as the main panel including a veteran military personal, and three others as reserve candidates. Of the six candidates proposed under the primary and secondary categories, one is a woman. The three principal recommendations were not initially ranked, with all of them being considered suitable for the post.On Tuesday, the selection committee submitted its detailed report to the Trust. The committee comprised retired Supreme Court judge Justice Pramod Kohli, retired Lieutenant General Vishnu Kant Chaturvedi and Suresh Haware, a retired nuclear scientist and former chairperson of the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust in Shirdi.The report outlined the methodology followed during the selection process, which began with 5,585 applications. The exercise involved several rounds of screening, assessment and interaction. Candidates were evaluated on their professional experience, management capabilities, leadership qualities, communication skills, technological understanding, vision and ability to handle large-scale operations.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe process was technology-enabled and included online interactions before the field was narrowed down to 16 finalists.

It was subsequently taken out of use, news agency PTI reported.The Rajasthan government had last month announced that a new school building would be constructed at a cost of Rs 18 lakh.Of the total amount, Rs 12 lakh was sanctioned from the District Mineral Foundation Trust (DMFT) on August 13, while another Rs 6 lakh was allocated from the MLA fund.The school came into focus after a CJP team visited Rampura village last month as part of its ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign, which sought to highlight the condition of government schools. The visit, however, led to a confrontation between CJP members and villagers, with FIRs being registered from both sides.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

			<title>Satheesan’s remarks came amid mounting criticism of Aboobacker over his comments defending restrictions issued by the Kanthapuram faction of the Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama on women’s participation in religious events. NEW DELHI: Kerala chief minister VD Satheesan on Wednesday rejected Sunni cleric and Grand Mufti of India Kanthapuram AP Aboobacker Musliyar’s call for restrictions on women’s participation in public life. He said women must join the mainstream, asserting that such views have no place in a developing Kerala.Speaking to reporters, Satheesan said the state government did not agree with Aboobacker’s position that women should remain at home, adding that even Islam did not require women to be confined to domestic life.&#8221;We don&#8217;t agree with his statement that women should stay home. It&#8217;s not a suitable stand in our developing Keralam. It&#8217;s not the 19th century that one should make such statements. Even Islam doesn&#8217;t say that. Women should not stay home, but join the mainstream. That is our stand,&#8221; he said.Satheesan’s remarks came amid mounting criticism of Aboobacker over his comments defending restrictions issued by the Kanthapuram faction of the Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama on women’s participation in religious events.Labour minister Bindu Krishna also criticised the cleric, saying such remarks undermined women’s constitutional rights and sought to push them &#8220;centuries back&#8221;.&#8221;Constitution of India assures equal rights to women and men, irrespective of sex. The people have the right to live a free and liberal life. And also, these types of statements push women centuries back. So, we can&#8217;t accept such statements. Our women are free to move. They are best rulers. Our girls are always coming through this society, and we can&#8217;t accept such statements,&#8221; Krishna told ANI.The controversy followed remarks made by Aboobacker at the Hubbul Rasul Conference in Kochi, where he defended recent directives issued by the Kanthapuram faction of Samastha to local Mahalls on women’s participation in religious celebrations.A circular issued by the organisation directed Madrasas not to allow women to be present among unrelated men at religious events. It also advised against displaying young women on public stages and having them participate in road processions alongside unrelated men.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesDefending the directives, Aboobacker said women should remain within the home and invoked the Quran to support his position.&#8221;Women should remain confined within their homes. They should not enter the public sphere. The Holy Quran says so,&#8221; Aboobacker said, while defending the purdah system as a practice intended to protect women’s dignity.He argued that allowing women into public spaces without restrictions could result in &#8220;great destruction&#8221;, insisting that the measures were intended to honour and protect women rather than diminish them.Aboobacker also said Islam had granted women property and inheritance rights centuries ago to improve their status without requiring them to leave domestic life. He maintained that he was not concerned by opposition or political criticism and said no one could silence him or force him to change Islamic doctrines.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
