ನಾಳೆ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಗಾಂಧಿ ಭವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಭೂಮಿ ಮತ್ತು ವಸತಿ ಹಕ್ಕು ವಂಚಿತರ ಪ್ರಾತಿನಿಧ್ಯ ಸಮಾವೇಶ ನಡೆಯಲಿದೆ. ರಾಜ್ಯದ ವಿವಿಧ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಗಳಿಂದ ಬಗರ್ ಹುಕುಂ ರೈತರು, ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ಜಾಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮನೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡ ಮನೆಗಳು ಸಕ್ರಮಗೊಳ್ಳದೆ ಸಂಕಷ್ಟದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಬಡಜನರು, ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಭೂಸ್ವಾಧೀನದಿಂದ ಸಂತ್ರಸ್ತಗೊಂಡಿರುವ ಜನರು ಹಾಗೂ ಈಗ ಮಲೆನಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಗೂಡು ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲೂ ತುಂಡು ಜಾಗವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಪರದಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಬಡಜನರು ಈ ಸಮಾವೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಸಮಾವೇಶವನ್ನು ಉದ್ಘಾಟಿಸಲು ಗುಜರಾತಿನ ಪ್ರಖರ ವಾಗ್ನಿ, ಹೋರಾಟಗಾರ ಹಾಗೂ ಶಾಸಕರಾದ ಜಿಗೇಶ್ ಮೇವಾನಿ ಅವರು ಆಗಮಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಬಡಜನರ ಸಂಕಷ್ಟಗಳನ್ನು ಆಲಿಸಲು ಕಂದಾಯ ಸಚಿವ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಭೈರೇ ಗೌಡರು ಭಾಗವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ದಲಿತ ಚಳವಳಿಯ ಹಿರಿಯ ಮುಖಂಡರಾದ ಎನ್. ವೆಂಕಟೇಶ್ ಅವರು ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷತೆ ವಹಿಸಲಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಸಮಾವೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ನೂರ್ ಶ್ರೀಧರ್, ಡಾ. ವಿಜಯ, ವಿ. ನಾಗರಾಜ್, ಸಿರಿಮನೆ ನಾಗರಾಜ್, ರವೀಂದ್ರ ನಾಯ್ಕ, ಡಿ.ಹೆಚ್. ಪೂಜಾರ್, ವೀರಸಂಗಯ್ಯ ಮುಂತಾದ ಮುಖಂಡರು ಭಾಗವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಸಮಾವೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿವಿಧ ರೂಪದ ಭೂಮಿ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳ ಕುರಿತು, ಜನರು ಎದುರಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವ ಸಂಕಷ್ಟಗಳ ಕುರಿತು ಹಾಗೂ ಇದನ್ನು ಬಗೆಹರಿಸಲು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಿರುವ ಕ್ರಮಗಳ ಕುರಿತು ಚರ್ಚೆ ನಡೆಯಲಿದೆ. ಭೂ ಮಂಜೂರಾತಿಯನ್ನು ಯುದ್ದೋಪಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಳಿಸಬೇಕು. ಈ ಉದ್ದೇಶಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ ರಚಿಸಲಾಗಿ ಈಗ ನಿಷ್ಕ್ರಿಯಗೊಂಡಿರುವ ‘ಉನ್ನತ ಮಟ್ಟದ ಸಮಿತಿ’ಯನ್ನು ಪುನರ್ಚಾಲನೆಗೊಳಿಸಬೇಕು. ಕಾಗದ ಪತ್ರಗಳ ಜಂಜಾಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಲುಕಿಸದೆ ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ಉಳುಮೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹಾಗೂ ಗೂಡು ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡು ವಾಸ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಬಡಜನರಿಗೆ ‘ಬನ್ ಟೈಂ ಸೆಟಲೈಂಟ್’ ಆಧಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಭೂಮಿ/ಜಾಗಗಳನ್ನು ಮಂಜೂರು ಮಾಡಬೇಕು. ಬಲವಂತದ ಭೂ ಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು. ಒತ್ತುವರಿ ತೆರವಿನ ಹೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲವ ನಂಬಿ ಬದುಕುತ್ತಿರುವವರ ಬದುಕನ್ನು ನಾಶ ಮಾಡಬಾರದು…. ಇನ್ನು ಮುಂತಾದ ಆಗ್ರಹಗಳನ್ನು ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಮುಂದೆ ಇಡಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಸರ್ಕಾರ
ಭೂಮಿ ವಸತಿ ಹೋರಾಟ ಸಮಿತಿಯು ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ ಸೇನಾನಿ ದಿವಂಗತ ಹೆಚ್. ಎಸ್. ದೊರೆಸ್ವಾಮಿಯವರ ನೇತೃತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ 2016ರಲ್ಲಿ ಅಸ್ತಿತ್ವಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದಿತ್ತು. 2016 ರಿಂದ 2018ರ ನಡುವೆ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ದ ದಿಡ್ಡಳ್ಳಿ ಹೋರಾಟವನ್ನೂ ಒಳಗೊಂಡಂತೆ ಹಲವು ಸುತ್ತಿನ ಗಮನ ಸೆಳೆಯುವ ಹೋರಾಟಗಳನ್ನು ಸಂಘಟಿಸಿತ್ತು. ಪರಿಣಾಮವಾಗಿ ಆಗಿನ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಸಿದ್ದರಾಮಯ್ಯನವರ ನೇತೃತ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಬಂಧಿತ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಸಚಿವರು ಹಾಗೂ ಅಧಿಕಾರಗಳ ಸಮ್ಮುಖದಲ್ಲಿ ಉನ್ನತ ಮಟ್ಟದ ಸಭೆ ನಡೆದು ಹಲವು ಜನಪರ ನಿರ್ಣಯಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಫಾರಂ ನಂ 57ರಡಿ ಭೂ ಮಂಜೂರಾತಿಗಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಅರ್ಜಿ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸುವ ಅವಕಾಶ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದೂ ಈ ಸಭೆಯಿಂದಾಗಿಯೇ. ಆದರೆ 2018ರಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಗೆ ಹಿನ್ನೆಡೆಯಾಗಿ, ಆಪರೇಷನ್ ಕಮಲದ ಮೂಲಕ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದ ನಂತರ ಇಡೀ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ ಸ್ಥಬ್ದಗೊಂಡಿತ್ತು. ಹಾಗಾಗಿಯೇ ಕಳೆದ ಚುನಾವಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭೂಮಿ ವಸತಿ ಹೋರಾಟ ಸಮಿತಿಯು ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯನ್ನು ತಿರಸ್ಕರಿಸಲು ಕರೆ ನೀಡಿ ರಾಜ್ಯವ್ಯಾಪಿ ಪ್ರಚಾರ ನಡೆಸಿತ್ತು.
ವಿಷಾದದ ವಿಚಾರವೆಂದರೆ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಮತ್ತೆ ಅಧಿಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದ ನಂತರವೂ ಬಡಜನರ ಪರವಾದ ಯಾವ ಕೆಲಸಗಳೂ ಮುಂದೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಬದಲಿಗೆ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ತಂದ ಭೂ ತಿದ್ದುಪಡಿಗಳನ್ನು, ಭೂ ಸ್ವಾಧೀನ ಕ್ರಮಗಳನ್ನು, ಕಂಪನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಭೂಮಿ ನೀಡುವ ತೀರ್ಮಾನಗಳನ್ನು ತಾನೂ ಮುಂದುವರೆಸುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಈ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಿಚಾರಗಳ ಸುತ್ತ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ನಡೆಯನ್ನು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸಿ ಚರ್ಚೆಗಳು ನಡೆಯಲಿವೆ.
ಬಡವರ ಪರ ಕಾಳಜಿ ಹೊಂದಿರುವ, ಪ್ರಾಮಾಣಿಕ ನಡತೆಗೆ ಹೆಸರಾಗಿರುವ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಭೈರೇಗೌಡರು ಕಂದಾಯ ಸಚಿವರಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಅವರ ಮುಂದೆಯೂ ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಈ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಚ್ಚಿಡಬೇಕು. ಈ ಜಟಿಲ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಪರಿಹಾರ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂಬ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದ ಈ ಸಮಾವೇಶ ಏರ್ಪಡಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದೊಂದು ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅನುಸಂಧಾನದ ಸಮಾವೇಶವೇ ಆಗಿದೆ. ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಮತ್ತೆಯೂ ಬಡಜನರ ನ್ಯಾಯಸಮ್ಮತ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಬೆಲೆ ನೀಡದಿದ್ದರೆ ಈ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಪ್ರಬಲ ಹೋರಾಟಕ್ಕೆ ಮರು ಚಾಲನೆ ನೀಡಲು ನಿರ್ಣಯತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆಗಳು ಇವೆ ಎಂದು ಭೂಮಿ ಮತ್ತು ವಸತಿ ಹಕ್ಕು ವಂಚಿತರ ಹೋರಾಟ ಸಮಿತಿಯ ಪರವಾಗಿ ಮುಖಂಡರುಗಳಾದ ಸಿರಿಮನೆ ನಾಗರಾಜ್,ಕೆಜೆಎಸ್ ಮರಿಯಪ್ಪ,ಕುಮಾರ್ ಸಮತಳ, ವೀರಸಂಗಯ್ಯ ಹಾಗೂ ನಾಗೇಶ್ವರರಾವ್ ಬಾಬು ಪ್ರೆಸ್ ಕ್ಲಬ್ ಆಫ್ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಪತ್ರಿಕಾ ಗೋಷ್ಠಿ ಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.
If recent developments at Religare are to be believed, the likes of Deepinder Goyal of Zomato, Salil Parkh of Infosys, or even IT-legend CP Gurnani could be raising their eyebrows. Ditto for global leaders such as Tim Cook, Satya Nadella, or Sundar Pichai who have at some time held significant ESOPs at their organisations. Across the world, ESOPs have been used as a tool to reward talented and meritorious leaders to stay onboard. However, a curious case at Religare casts a spotlight on the concept of ESOPs. The case is also be a grim representation of regulatory overreach. Religare, already in the spotlight of a hostile takeover bid with the Dabur headed Burmans, has been facing a legal case. In the most recent turn of events in the case, the Enforcement Directorate has slapped provisions of PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering) alleging misuse of ESOPs. In their legal filings, the Religare team has documented how the ESOP process was undertaken. Their documentation clarifies that the board approval was sought months ahead of the ESOP acquisition. There is also clarification about a borrowing process undertaken by the Chairperson for the fair-value on the ESOPs. Therefore, the ESOP plan followed not just SEBI’s 2013 legal structure, but also conformed with board approvals and the internal NRC committee recommendations. To India Inc, the development may come as a huge surprise. Surprise, because CEOs and senior leadership are frequently rewarded with ESOPs, reflecting their role in driving the company’s strategic vision and performance. In Aug-24, Nykaa, an startup unicorn, had allotted 15.9 crore equity shares under its ESOP plan. By offering equity, organisations ensure that their top executives are motivated to drive long-term company growth, with the potential for substantial personal financial gains. ESOPs are therefore believed to be excellent remuneration packages, but conventions of PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering) upon Religare sends the wrong message. India Inc may interpret that rewarding talented employees with ESOPs could invite legal wrath. In India, ESOPs are governed by a combination of corporate, tax, and legal regulations. Under corporate law, particularly the Companies Act of 2013, companies can issue ESOPs to their employees, directors, and officers, but with certain restrictions for independent directors and promoters. The issuance of ESOPs requires the approval of the board of directors as well as the shareholders via a special resolution. The company must also adhere to the guidelines laid out by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for publicly listed companies, ensuring transparency in the issuance and vesting of stock options. Until 2020, any board contemplating an ESOP would be busy scrutinising the tax angle. That, because when the options are exercised, the difference between the fair market value (FMV) of the shares and the exercise price was to be treated as a prerequisite and taxed as part of the employee’s salary under India’s Income Tax Act, 1961. Second, when the shares were sold, any gains were subject to capital gains tax. The holding period between the exercise date and sale would determine whether short-term or long-term capital gains tax applies, with long-term capital gains on listed securities taxed at a lower rate. In the curious case at Religare, their legal team has provisioned the tax payment receipts showcasing that all legal processes were closely followed. Some observers have been quick to point out the timing of Dr Saluja’s sale of the ESOPs – post the announcement of the acquisition from Dabur Group. The legal team has contested the claims. There is the reference to Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple who sold 200,000 shares of Apple in the week that the Cupertino headquartered tech-major launched a new upgrade. Should Tim Cook’s stock-sale in April 2024 be scrutinised? Fortunately, Mr Cook was not an Indian CEO. Equating ESOP acquisition or a transaction under the tenets of money-laundering may not seem like a genuine investigation. That, especially in the absence of credible information about a material gain made by a leader the stature of Tim Cook or Dr Saluja. At best, the legal aspect seems like a misaligned adventure of blaming ESOPs and tarnishing the image of Dr Saluja who has steered Religare away from near-death. At its worst, it is a misinterpretation that India Inc should not reward talented and meritorious leaders.
BENGALURU, October 3, 2024: Indian Association of Gynaecological Endoscopists (IAGE), in collaboration with KIAGE and hosted by Radhakrishna Multispecialty Hospital, today announced the fourth edition of Eve Endoscopy, India’s premier conference for women endoscopic surgeons scheduled to take place in Bengaluru from October 4-6, 2024. This three-day national event seeks to inspire and equip women gynecologists across the country to adopt and excel in the field of endoscopic surgery, fostering their professional growth and enhancing patient care.
The conference will welcome over 400 women gynecologists from around the country, with more than 20 of India’s leading women endoscopic surgeons performing live surgeries. The event will also feature hands-on skill enhancement sessions and live surgical workshops, aiming to spread the adoption of endoscopic procedures, known for their advantages over traditional surgical methods.
“Endoscopy offers enormous benefits, such as faster recovery, minimal scarring, and shorter hospital stays, which is a boon for working women who need to minimize their time away from work. Yet, of the 45,000 gynecologists in India, only about 8,000 are trained in endoscopic surgery,” said Dr. Vidya V Bhat, Organizing Chairperson of Eve Endoscopy and Medical Director of Radhakrishna Multispecialty Hospital, Bengaluru. “Our goal is to bridge this gap by equipping more women gynecologists with these essential skills.”
This fourth edition of Eve Endoscopy is unique in its focus on encouraging women to take up endoscopic surgery, with a series of skill-building sessions designed to help participants master this complex yet invaluable technique. According to Dr. Bhat, “Endoscopy has a steep learning curve, but its impact on women’s health is undeniable. By showcasing the latest advancements in endoscopic technology and equipment, we hope to advance women’s health in India through minimally invasive techniques.”
The conference will feature live broadcasts of surgeries performed by 16 of India’s leading women endoscopic surgeons, designed to inspire and educate participants on advanced procedures. Dr. Bhat stated, “This event is dedicated to promoting endoscopy among women gynecologists, with our mission being to increase the number of women trained in this transformative field of surgery.”
