The Rajasthan Cabinet on Wednesday decided to give appointments in government service to Yash Teli and Tarun Teli, the sons of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal Teli who was murdered recently.
A government statement on the meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that relaxation has been given in the rules to give an appointment. This appointment will be given under Rajasthan Subordinate Office Clerical Grade Service (Amendment) Rules, 2008 and section 6C of 2009.
Kanhaiya Lal Teli was hacked to death by Mohammad Riyaz and Ghouse Mohammad on June 28 for allegedly sharing remarks made by former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma on the Prophet, leading to a nationwide outrage. Earlier, the state had handed over a cheque of Rs 50 lakh to the family.
“The bereaving family lost their sole earning member in the heinous incident, thus leaving no other source of livelihood. Hence, by giving appointments to the dependents, the family will get economic and mental support,” the government said. Earlier, the state had handed over a cheque of Rs 50 lakh to the family.
The government said that a dependent of a person who died in the year 1992 or later in incidents of insurgency, terrorist attacks, agitations, sit-ins, demonstrations and rallies, can be given an appointment.
Among other decisions, the Cabinet also approved the proposal of issuing new policy guidelines to release advertisements by the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) to news websites. Currently, government advertisements are released on print and electronic media. “Various news websites on social media are popular among the general public, therefore, as per the need of the hour, with the issuing of policy guidelines, the benefit of the state government’s policies and public welfare schemes/programmes will immediately reach the general public through the news websites,” the state government said.
According to the new guidelines, the website should be registered with DAVP. Besides this, 50 per cent of the total content should be news and 25 per cent within this 50 per cent should be related to Rajasthan.
