Islamic scholar Maulana Ghulam Vastanvi passes away at 75
Sharing more details, maulana's son, Mufti Uzaifa Vastanvi (45) said: ' My father was a diabetic patient for the last 10 years. For the last three years, he had been undergoing kidney dialysis. He had suffered an injury followed by an infection as a result of which he was not keeping well for the last two months'.
'He received medical treatment in multiple hospitals in Maharashtra. For the last two days, his body was not responding to medicines, following which he was brought to Akkalkuwa (Nandurbar district), where he breathed his last on Sunday afternoon,' said Mufti Uzaifa.
Mufti Uzaifa, who is presently pursuing his PhD on an Urdu subject said, 'My father had set up an empire to impart education to Muslim people'.
Meanwhile, the cleric's funeral procession was attended by hundreds of people at his home in Akkalkuwa town in Maharashtra's Nandurbar district Monday. The social media platforms were also flooded with condolence messages from different parts of the country and abroad.
Maulana Vastanvi, a cleric from the remote Kosadi village in Surat district, had set up an institution, Jamia Islamia Ishaatul Uloom, imparting education covering engineering sector, medical and paramedical courses. The students were taught in English and Urdu medium. Apart from providing education from Class 1 to 12, the institution also offered diplomas, bachelors and masters courses. Presently, over 15000 students are studying in the educational institution set up by Vastanvi.
The cleric also served as a vice chancellor in Darul Uloom Deoband, one of the highest Islamic seminaries in India, in 2011. He had to resign amid an uproar by the board members over his statements praising the then Gujarat chief minister and now Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Apart from this, he also had started an MBBS college at Jalna in Aurangabad.
Maulana Vastanvi is survived by three sons and six daughters. All the daughters are married. His eldest son, Mohammed Saeed Vastanvi had died five years ago. His other two sons, Mufti Uzaifa and Mufti Uvesh Vastanvi, look after his empire. 'Today, a large number of people not only from Gujarat and Maharashtra, but also from different parts of the country like UP, Bihar, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, etc. attended my father's funeral procession. There were over 50,000 people present. I prayed namaz-e-janaza (final prayer for the deceased) for my father. He was active in India and had also received great recognition in Saudi Arabia, where he was engaged in charity and educational work,' said Mufti Uzaifa.

Don't know the actual reason behind Dhankhar's resignation: Kharge
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said he has no information on the actual reason for Jagdeep Dhankhar resigning as Vice-President. After Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned on the evening of July 21 citing ill health, Congress and other opposition parties suggested that there is more to it than meets the eye, hinting at a rift between Dhankhar and the government. "Dhankhar has to tell what really happened, as the matter is between him and Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he added. In his resignation letter to President Droupadi Murmu, Dhankhar said he was stepping down with immediate effect to "prioritise health care." Speaking to reporters here, Kharge said, "When we raised several issues concerning farmers, the poor, international issues, or foreign policy, he never used to give us an opportunity (in Rajya Sabha, as its Chairman)." "When we tried to raise issues by giving notices—on issues regarding the poor, atrocities against women, Dalits and the downtrodden, and incidents like Hindu-Muslim clashes—he did not give us an opportunity. It (the reason for Dhankhar's resignation as Vice-President) is between him and Modi. We don't have any information on that," he added.

If we go by the ratio, then 60 per cent of funds should go to primary health services and 40 per cent to tertiary services," he said. If the primary health services are strengthened, then it lessens the load on tertiary services, because 60 to 70 per cent patients get treated for their diseases in the primary health segment, he pointed out. Live Events "The state government has prepared a plan to provide primary health services to every person within a 3-kilometre radius in urban and rural areas. We are developing a network of primary, secondary and tertiary health services. With the help of external aided agencies and the Union government, we will try to establish the best health services in the country in Maharashtra in the next four years," Fadnavis asserted. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari also addressed the event at Late Bhanutai Gadkari Memorial Diagnostic Centre, which is named after his mother. Gadkari emphasised that whatever he has achieved and has been able to do in life is because of the blessings and teachings of his mother. His mother always taught him to serve the poor, the Union minister of road transport and highways and local Lok Sabha MP told the gathering. This diagnostic centre will greatly help the needy and poor since services will be available at very affordable prices, Gadkari informed. "Through such social initiatives, I learnt that the meaning of politics is not just power politics. I always tell my colleagues that politics is an instrument for social and economic reforms in society," he said.
