Karnataka’s Congress faces a leadership tussle between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, with party chief Mallikarjun Kharge acknowledging the need for a resolution. Shivakumar hinted at a “secret deal” for leadership transition, while Siddaramaiah reportedly seeks a swift decision from the high command. Meanwhile, some leaders have proposed Kharge himself for the CM post. NEW DELHI: The standoff between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar over the chief ministerial post in Karnataka seems to have entered its climax as Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday acknowledged the situation, saying that “medicine” will be given to resolve the issue.As soon as the Congress government in Karnataka completed its halfway mark on November 20, reports quoting Congress sources suggested that MLAs and MLCs from Shivakumar’s faction had camped in Delhi to push the party high command to make him the next chief minister.DK Shivakumar added to the speculations after he claimed that there had indeed been a “secret deal” — a confidential understanding on leadership transition among five-six leaders soon after Congress won a landslide in the 2023 elections.The deputy chief minister made the first reference to the power pact but stopped short of divulging more details. “This is confidential. I don’t want to speak publicly on this,” he said.‘Will give medicine when required’On the ongoing political developments in the state, Kharge played down the “internal conflict” within the party and said that the “high command” will sit together and deliberate on the issue.“Only the people there can say what the government is doing. But I would like to say that we will resolve such issues,” Kharge said.“People in the high command — Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and I — will sit together and deliberate on this… We will give the medicine when required,” he added.This was the first acknowledgment by Kharge that there is indeed a power struggle between Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivakumar in Karnataka.Siddaramaiah wants ‘swift decision’Karnataka minister Satish Jarkiholi said chief minister Siddaramaiah has asked the Congress high command to take an early call on the question of leadership change in the state.Jarkiholi, who handles the public works portfolio, told reporters that he plans to seek an appointment with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to discuss the matter.He said the issue of succession must be settled by the party’s national leadership and revealed that Siddaramaiah too prefers a swift decision.“When the CM says it, then seniors in the party should take note of it,” he stated. However, he maintained that no internal discussions had taken place among MLAs on a possible leadership shift. “There is no discussion about leadership change in the party. Once it comes up then we will discuss, but there is no discussion about it in the party right now,” Jarkiholi said.‘No groups in the party’A day after raising eyebrows with his remarks, DK Shivakumar on Wednesday changed tune, claiming that Congress is united and focused on the 2028 assembly and 2029 Lok Sabha elections.“Whatever is there, party issues, we will discuss within four walls. I will not discuss any political issues in the media,” the deputy chief minister said.He also denied any confusion or existence of factions within the party and said, “No one should demand anything. There are no groups in the party; there is only one group, that is the Congress. Our group has 140 MLAs.”Priyank Kharge passes Rahul’s message to Siddaramaiah, DKSAdditionally, Karnataka minister and Kharge’s son Priyank Kharge held discussions with senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on the leadership change issue in the state.According to reports, Priyank has conveyed Rahul’s message to both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar, and they are likely to be called to New Delhi soon for a meeting aimed at resolving the matter.“Discussions are in the media. Will I meet Mohan Bhagwat (RSS chief) if not Rahul Gandhi? Will I report to Keshava Krupa (RSS state headquarters) without reporting to the CM and deputy CM on my meeting? Rahul Gandhi was invited for the Bengaluru Tech Summit; he couldn’t come. I had sought his time to show our Artificial Intelligence Personal Computer,” Kharge said in response to a question.Mallikarjun Kharge in CM race?Meanwhile, a section of Congress leaders also pitched Mallikarjun Kharge’s name for the chief minister post amid the “leadership tussle”.Minister Shivananda Patil had described Mallikarjun Kharge as the “most eligible person” for the CM post. “I had committed a mistake once by not voting for him. I accept it today,” he said.State home minister G Parameshwara also said that if the party high command decides, everyone would accept Kharge as the chief minister.The issue of a Dalit chief minister has long been debated within Congress, with senior Dalit leaders including Parameshwara and Mahadevappa speaking on the matter in the past.Some prominent Dalit leaders are reportedly planning to push for a “Dalit CM” before the high command in the event of a change in state leadership, PTI reported.News agency PTI cited sources and claimed that Kharge, a Dalit stalwart in the party, lost the chance to become chief minister thrice — in 1999 to S M Krishna, in 2004 to Dharam Singh, and in 2013 to Siddaramaiah.However, Kharge’s son Priyank dismissed the speculations, calling them “irrelevant”.“Whenever elections happen here (in Karnataka), he is in the race to become the CM, and whenever Parliamentary elections happen, he is in the race to become the PM. Such discussions are irrelevant now,” Priyank said.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

A NatStrat report details Pakistan’s use of terrorism as a state instrument against India since 1947, evolving through five distinct phases. The study highlights a consistent strategy by Pakistan’s military and intelligence to deploy terrorism as part of its policy framework, despite India’s resilience and evolving responses. NEW DELHI: A report released on Wednesday by NatStrat, a Delhi-based strategic affairs think tank, claims that Pakistan has used terrorism as a state instrument against India since 1947, with cross-border operations evolving through five distinct phases over nearly eight decades. The release coincided with the 17th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.The study, titled ‘Chronology of Pakistani Terror Attacks on India: 1947–2025’, says records since Independence indicate a “consistent strategy” by Pakistan’s military and intelligence establishment, particularly the inter-services intelligence (ISI), to deploy terrorism as part of its policy framework.”The history of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism against India needs to be told and retold,” the NatStrat compilation states.’Red Fort To Kashmir’: Pak Leader’s SHAMEFUL Comment on Delhi Blast; Terror a Badge of Honour?Five phases of cross-border terror: 1947–2025The report categorises the trajectory of Pakistan-origin terrorism into five periods – foundational conflicts (1947–71), the rise of proxy warfare (1972–89), escalation and urban attacks (1990–2000), targeting national symbols (2001–09), and adaptive terrorism with hardened Indian responses (2010–25).Phase I (1947–1971): Foundational conflictsThe period begins with the Poonch uprising and the tribal invasion of Jammu & Kashmir in 1947–48, followed by Operation Gibraltar (1965) and Operation Chengiz KhanPakistan’s pre-emptive strike in 1971. India’s counteroffensive culminated in the surrender of 93,000 Pakistani troops and the creation of Bangladesh.Phase II (1972–1989): Proxy warfareThe report recounts plane hijackings, targeted killings – including the 1984 murder of diplomat Ravindera Mhatre – and ISI backing the Khalistan movement. The hijackings of Indian Airlines flights in 1971 and 1984 are cited as early examples of Pakistan’s covert strategy.Phase III (1990–2000): Urban terror expandsPakistan-backed groups, including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), escalated militancy in J&K through the K2 project.

Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar stated the absence of Muslim ministers in the Union cabinet reflects electoral mandate, not exclusion, as “Muslims do not vote for us.” He emphasized the party’s ongoing efforts to build trust and counter decades of “misconception-driven” narratives through outreach, asserting BJP’s commitment to constitutional values and democracy. NEW DELHI: Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Wednesday said the absence of Muslim ministers in the Union cabinet reflects electoral mandate, not exclusion, stating that “muslims donot vote for us” and the party is now working to build trust among Muslim voters. He said outreach will be central to the BJP’s strategy as it seeks to counter what he described as decades of “misconception-driven” narratives about the party.“The truth is, Muslims do not vote for us. But what do they gain by voting for Congress?” Chandrasekhar said in Kozhikode, maintaining that the BJP has never discriminated against Muslims and has given representation whenever backed by voters.Chandrasekhar asserted that the party has included Muslim leaders within government and organisational structures. “There are Muslim MPs and leaders in the BJP, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Shahnawaz Hussain. Even today, there are Muslim MPs in the Rajya Sabha from J&K. In Kerala, there are many Muslim BJP candidates in local body elections. Former President APJ Abdul Kalam became President under the NDA. We have done our part. Before 2017, there wasn’t a single Cabinet Minister from Kerala either. Our National Vice President is Abdullakutty, and our State Vice President is Abdul Salam. BJP is not Jamaat-e-Islami. We believe in the Constitution and democracy. Jamaat-e-Islami openly states that they do not want the Constitution and do not believe in democracy. We will work hard to earn the trust of the Muslim community and end this poisonous campaign led by LDF and UDF…”“For the last 30 years, a false narrative has been created that we are communal and anti-Muslim. This is hypocrisy at its highest level. We openly state that we work for everyone,” he added, noting that a Muslim outreach team led by Prof Abdul Salam is in dialogue with community groups to address perception gaps.He further said the party respects all faiths but opposes organisations he claims work against constitutional values. “We are against Jamaat-e-Islami and SDPI because they act against the Constitution. We are also against those who support them, the LDF and Congress,” Chandrasekhar said.Opposition parties criticised the remarks, accusing the BJP of justifying under-representation rather than addressing it. Chandrasekhar maintained that minority outreach is a gradual process and said the party will continue engagement with Muslim communities ahead of future elections.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar stated the absence of Muslim ministers in the Union cabinet reflects electoral mandate, not exclusion, as “Muslims do not vote for us.” He emphasized the party’s ongoing efforts to build trust and counter decades of “misconception-driven” narratives through outreach, asserting BJP’s commitment to constitutional values and democracy. NEW DELHI: Kerala BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Wednesday said the absence of Muslim ministers in the Union cabinet reflects electoral mandate, not exclusion, stating that “muslims donot vote for us” and the party is now working to build trust among Muslim voters. He said outreach will be central to the BJP’s strategy as it seeks to counter what he described as decades of “misconception-driven” narratives about the party.“The truth is, Muslims do not vote for us. But what do they gain by voting for Congress?” Chandrasekhar said in Kozhikode, maintaining that the BJP has never discriminated against Muslims and has given representation whenever backed by voters.Chandrasekhar asserted that the party has included Muslim leaders within government and organisational structures. “There are Muslim MPs and leaders in the BJP, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Shahnawaz Hussain. Even today, there are Muslim MPs in the Rajya Sabha from J&K. In Kerala, there are many Muslim BJP candidates in local body elections. Former President APJ Abdul Kalam became President under the NDA. We have done our part. Before 2017, there wasn’t a single Cabinet Minister from Kerala either. Our National Vice President is Abdullakutty, and our State Vice President is Abdul Salam. BJP is not Jamaat-e-Islami. We believe in the Constitution and democracy. Jamaat-e-Islami openly states that they do not want the Constitution and do not believe in democracy. We will work hard to earn the trust of the Muslim community and end this poisonous campaign led by LDF and UDF…”“For the last 30 years, a false narrative has been created that we are communal and anti-Muslim. This is hypocrisy at its highest level. We openly state that we work for everyone,” he added, noting that a Muslim outreach team led by Prof Abdul Salam is in dialogue with community groups to address perception gaps.He further said the party respects all faiths but opposes organisations he claims work against constitutional values. “We are against Jamaat-e-Islami and SDPI because they act against the Constitution. We are also against those who support them, the LDF and Congress,” Chandrasekhar said.Opposition parties criticised the remarks, accusing the BJP of justifying under-representation rather than addressing it. Chandrasekhar maintained that minority outreach is a gradual process and said the party will continue engagement with Muslim communities ahead of future elections.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

(AI image generated using ChatGPT) “Even a small incident, something as ordinary as a scolding, can push a child towards the wrong step.”The words come from Suman Prakash, a coaching institute teacher of nearly twenty years, but they echo through classrooms across the country.His warning lands heavily in a year where student suicides have reached their highest levels ever recorded in India. Government data shows that student suicides rose from just over eight thousand a decade ago to nearly fourteen thousand in 2023, an increase far steeper than population growth. Behind the numbers are classrooms shaped by competition, families weighed down by expectations and schools where discipline often blurs into public shame.Delhi Student Suicide Case: Massive Protest Outside School After Note Alleges Harassment By TeachersThe death of a Class 10 student in Delhi, who allegedly named teachers in a suicide note and had complained of humiliation, has now placed renewed scrutiny on whether certain disciplinary practices have become psychologically unsafe. Protests outside his school, questioning by police and testimonies from classmates have built a portrait of a child who struggled not with failure, but with fear.At the heart of the debate is a simple question:When does teaching a lesson stop being discipline and start becoming emotional injury?Defining the boundary between scolding and humiliationTeachers, psychologists and counsellors consistently draw a distinction between corrective reprimand and humiliation, although that distinction often collapses inside real classrooms.Scolding, in its intended form, is private and behaviour specific. It pinpoints an action, suggests correction and remains controlled in tone.Humiliation, on the other hand, is public, identity directed and often delivered with mockery, comparison or threat. It takes the shape of comments about character rather than conduct, such as “you will never succeed”, “look at others, learn from them” or “you are always the problem”.Humiliation traps a child in a social spotlight they cannot escape, and psychologists note that it activates the same pain pathways as physical harm. The difference between the two is not mere semantics, because children interpret them very differently. A behaviour based correction can motivate, but identity based shaming can rupture trust and trigger panic, especially when the student is already anxious about parental expectations or peer comparison.This is the environment in which punishment culture thrives. In schools where academic output determines reputation, in coaching centres where competitive ranks shape futures, and in homes where opportunity is tied to marks, punishment often becomes a normalised tool, even when its emotional cost is profound.The shifting emotional world of studentsTeachers with long experience describe students today as more vulnerable to harsh reprimand than those of two decades ago. Science teacher Biva Jha, who has taught for more than twenty five years, attributes this sensitivity to changes in childhood routines and family structures.She points to declining physical activity, heavy reliance on mobile phones and the increasing number of single child households. “Children today are physically and emotionally more sensitive. With less outdoor play and more exposure to social media, they become easily overwhelmed,” she explains. Many are unaccustomed to hearing the word no at home, which reduces their resilience when faced with criticism outside.Her view is echoed, though differently framed, by younger teachers entering the profession. Rashi Mungia, who has been teaching for a year, says even primary school children now “understand mental health, emotions and what feels right or wrong.” This awareness demands that teachers monitor not only what they say, but how they say it. “One negative remark can affect a child for years,” she says, calling for discipline that is “respectful and restorative, not punitive.”She also acknowledges friction between generations of teachers. Some experienced staff see empathy driven methods as too lenient, while younger teachers believe the emotional climate of classrooms has fundamentally changed. “Balancing kindness with authority is the real challenge,” she says, “but hurting a child’s confidence cannot be part of discipline.”Despite differing methods, both experienced and newer teachers agree on one point: emotional thresholds have shifted.Pressure, competition and the punishment loopIf schools set one kind of pressure, coaching centres set another. With competitive exams acting as gateways to careers, families often invest high hopes and high fees into after school coaching. This intensifies expectations, and teachers in such environments navigate far thinner margins between motivation and harm.For Suman Prakash, the problem begins earlier, in parental choices. Many parents, he says, place their children in schools that do not match their socio economic reality. “They think a top school will help them, but it creates pressure. Parents worry about fees, children worry about matching the lifestyle of their peers,” he says. The result is an unequal emotional burden before a child even reaches the blackboard.A second shift, he argues, comes from the collapse of social outlets. “Earlier, if a teacher scolded us, we met friends, talked, laughed, released the stress. Children today have no such outlet. Everything is on the phone, no games, no informal support,” he explains. Without a peer space to process embarrassment or fear, reprimands linger and intensify.He also highlights what he calls the “marks inflation bubble”. With schools awarding higher marks more frequently, students may develop a false sense of ability. “Someone with 50 per cent ability is scoring in the 80s. When reality hits, the fall is very hard,” he says. In this environment, even a routine scolding can feel like a personal crisis, especially for students conditioned to believe that high marks validate worth.Prakash recalls an incident from his institute where a girl skipped class but accidentally revealed this by leaving her lunchbox behind. When her mother rushed to the centre, he urged her not to confront the girl immediately. “Children panic easily, and confrontation at the wrong moment can push them into extreme decisions,” he says. The matter was resolved privately the next day, avoiding both escalation and humiliation.The anecdote shows how small missteps can become high stakes events when fear replaces communication.A fragile safety systemThe Delhi student’s death has also exposed structural weaknesses in school safety systems. Classmates have said he approached a school counsellor about suicidal thoughts, but was allegedly dismissed as joking. Teachers named in his note have been questioned and internal inquiries are ongoing. These gaps are not unusual, because many Indian schools have only one counsellor for hundreds of students, inconsistent complaint mechanisms and limited training for teachers on trauma informed discipline.With rising academic pressure and limited mental health infrastructure, punishment often becomes the default response to underperformance or behavioural issues, rather than a carefully calibrated tool.This creates a cycle that students struggle to break. A reprimand leads to shame, shame leads to fear of parental reaction, fear leads to silence and silence leaves children without any safe avenue to report distress.What change requiresAcross interviews, three themes emerge as essential for reform.First, teachers emphasise that discipline must be tied to behaviour, not character. Scolding that aims to correct can be valuable, but reprimand that aims to embarrass is counterproductive and risky.Second, the emotional environment of students must be recognised as fundamentally different from earlier decades. With higher expectations, sharper competition and reduced social outlets, children today process criticism with heightened sensitivity.Third, schools and families must rebuild channels of trust. The absence of safe spaces for children to express fear or failure allows humiliation, whether intended or not, to become destructive.As student suicides continue to rise, the cost of inaction becomes clearer. Punishment culture is not simply about tough love or maintaining discipline, it carries psychological weight that many children are no longer equipped to manage.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Spur Of The Moment’: Former CJI Gavai Reacts To Shoe-Attack Attempt, Reveals Why He Took No Action’No Amount of Denial’ Will Change Arunachal’s Status: India’s BOLD Response To China Over Border Row’No Moral Standing’: India Slams Pakistan’s Rant On Ayodhya Event, Calls Out Bigotry And RepressionKhawaja Asif Admits Pakistan Can’t Trust Taliban As Deadly Border Strikes Trigger New FlashpointFormer CJI B.R.

Ex-Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina NEW DELHI: Bangladesh’s request for the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina—who has been living in India since her ouster in August 2024—is under examination, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Wednesday.“Yes, we have received that request, and the request is being examined… We remain committed to the people of Bangladesh… We will continue to engage constructively in this regard with all the stakeholders,” spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters at the MEA’s weekly briefing in Delhi.Jaiswal’s remarks come just days after an International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) court in Bangladesh sentenced Hasina — daughter of the country’s founding father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman — to death for “crimes against humanity” during the student-led protests that led to her resignation and escape from the country.The tribunal ruled on November 17, after months of hearings, that Hasina had ordered killings, incited violence and failed to prevent “atrocities” during the July–August 2024 “student uprising.”Judge Golam Mortuza Mozumder said the former prime minister had been found guilty on the three counts and that the court had decided to impose a single punishment — the death sentence.Hasina rejected the ICT’s verdict, alleging it was “biased and politically motivated.”Dhaka has repeatedly asked New Delhi to extradite the leader of the banned Awami League party. However, India is not automatically obliged to comply, as the 2013 extradition Treaty allows refusal if the offence is deemed “political” in nature, a provision under Article 6. The treaty also permits denial if extradition would be “unjust or oppressive” in the circumstances, under Article 8.Ties between the two countries have remained tense since Hasina’s ouster. Bangladesh is currently governed by an interim administration led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, with the next parliamentary elections scheduled for February 2026.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

India has strongly rejected Pakistan’s objections to Prime Minister Modi’s participation in the Ram temple ceremony in Ayodhya. The Ministry of External Affairs called Islamabad’s remarks politically motivated and unacceptable, stating Pakistan has no standing on India’s internal affairs and accusing them of habitual interference. NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday dismissed Pakistan’s comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s participation at the Ram temple ceremony in Ayodhya, with “the contempt they deserve”.The sharp response came a day after Pakistan’s foreign office issued a statement objecting to the flag-hosting ceremony at the Ram temple on Tuesday. The statement alleged a growing threat to religious minorities in India and claimed Muslim heritage sites were at risk from Hindu extremists.’Islamophobia’: Pak Meltdown Over Ayodhya Event Despite Its Own Poor Record of Minority PersecutionMinitry of external affairs termed the remarks politically motivated and unacceptable, holding that Pakistan has no locus standi on India’s internal matters.

Rabri Devi (File photo) NEW DELHI: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Wednesday asserted that former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi, wife of party supremo and ex-CM Lalu Prasad Yadav, will not vacate the government bungalow she has been living in for the past two decades, despite instructions to do so.The RJD’s Bihar unit chief, Mangani Lal Mandal, made the remark a day after the state building construction department issued a notification directing Rabri Devi to shift to 39, Hardinge Road, which has been “earmarked” as the residence of the leader of the opposition in the legislative council, a post she currently holds.Speaking to reporters, Mandal said the residence at 10, Circular Road, situated directly across from chief minister Nitish Kumar’s official residence at 1, Anney Marg, “will not be vacated, come what may.”He accused the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) of harbouring “malice” against Lalu Prasad Yadav: “Why did Nitish Kumar wait for two decades before earmarking a government bungalow for the leader of the opposition in the legislative council? And if it was necessary, why did the government not earmark 10, Circular Road? They should have considered that its occupants, Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, have both served as chief ministers,” he told reporters, according to PTI.Mandal further alleged that Kumar, who leads the Janata Dal (United), took the decision to ask Rabri Devi to vacate the residence in order to “appease” Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, the JD(U)’s alliance partner that emerged as the largest party in Bihar after the NDA’s recent assembly sweep.”Nitish Kumar has taken the decision to curry favour with the BJP. The JD(U) supremo has been rattled by the aggression of his alliance partner, which forced him to give up the Home portfolio he held so dear. Knowing the BJP’s ill-will towards Lalu ji, Nitish Kumar has tried to appease Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ilk by insulting our leader,” Mandal added, warning the BJP not to “belittle” the RJD and its leaders.State minister Santosh Kumar Suman, however, pointed to a court ruling, noting that the bungalow had originally been allotted to Rabri Devi under a provision granting a “life-long” residence to former chief ministers.“That provision had to be scrapped following an Allahabad High Court ruling a few years ago. In any case, we are not depriving Rabri Devi of the bungalow. Moreover, the government has the right to decide which bungalow should be allotted to whom,” Suman noted.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Former Chief Justice of India, B.R. Gavai, revealed he acted on instinct during a shoe-hurling attempt in the Supreme Court, choosing to continue hearings immediately. Despite the incident, he advised the Bar not to be distracted. The accused lawyer’s outburst was reportedly linked to alleged remarks by Gavai, which the former CJI has denied. NEW DELHI: Former Chief Justice of India BR Gavai on Wednesday said he acted on instinct when he decided to proceed with court hearings despite a shoe-hurling attempt on him inside the Supreme Court last month. Speaking to ANI, he said, “Maybe it is a result of my upbringing, when something happened in the court, I didn’t even know that it was related to some alleged utterances made by me in the court or alleged observations made by me in the court. But I felt that I must proceed with the matter and that was a decision taken by me in the spur of the moment.”The incident took place last month on October 6, when lawyer Rakesh Kishore attempted to remove his sports shoes and hurl them at the then CJI during proceedings. Security personnel intervened immediately. Former CJI Gavai continued with the hearing unfazed, advising the Bar, “Don’t get distracted.” Kishore shouted “Sanatan ka apman nahi sahenge” while being taken away by security staff.Later ex judge insisted on no action against the accused lawyer, although the apex court agreed that it was a “clear case of contempt.”The Bar Council of India had suspended Kishore’s licence, and several bar bodies condemned the incident as an attack on the judiciary.Delhi Police said they received no complaint and released Kishore after verification. His outburst was linked by many to comments about Lord Vishnu that Gavai was alleged to have made – remarks the former CJI has already clarified were never made, calling the social media claims inaccurate.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Once it comes up then we will discuss but there is no discussion about it in the party right now,” Jarkiholi said.He also confirmed that he plans to meet Kharge soon to share his views. On speculation around Shivakumar’s active outreach, he remarked that the deputy chief minister has met several people both formally and informally, and added that he too had met him.Responding to home minister G Parameshwara’s claim that he should also be considered for chief ministership, Jarkiholi said Parameshwara had served as Pradesh Congress Committee chief for five years. “I had said in Belagavi that there is nothing wrong in making such claims.

All that we can do is just make a claim”.Jarkiholi also indicated that Siddaramaiah’s role would remain important even after any future transition. “We (Congress) will require CM Siddaramaiah’s leadership, his service and guidance even after his retirement from the active politics”.The leadership tussle between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar has intensified in recent months, with party sources claiming Shivakumar has been pushing to be named the next chief minister.

Karnataka minister Satish Jarkiholi revealed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has urged the Congress high command for a swift decision on leadership change. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has consistently expressed his ambition for the chief minister’s role. Jarkiholi plans to discuss the matter with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. NEW DELHI: Amid reports of leadership reshuffle, Karnataka minister Satish Jarkiholi on Wednesday said chief minister Siddaramaiah has asked the Congress high command to take an early call on the question of leadership change in the state.Jarkiholi, who handles the public works portfolio, told reporters that he plans to seek an appointment with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to discuss the matter. He said the issue of succession must be settled by the party’s national leadership and revealed that Siddaramaiah too prefers a swift decision.According to Jarkiholi, deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar has openly expressed his desire to take over as chief minister since the beginning of the government’s term, though the party chose Siddaramaiah for the top job. He said the final call rests with the high command but added that the chief minister’s remarks make the situation more urgent.”When CM says it, then seniors in the party should take note of it,” he stated. However, he maintained that no internal discussions have taken place among MLAs on a possible leadership shift. “There is no discussion about leadership change in the party.

Representative image (AI-generated) NEW DELHI: Being overweight is not only costly for individuals but also for the nation as a whole. The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) has issued a warning, stating that obesity-related diseases in India already cost over Rs 2,900 crores (.9 billion) annually and if urgent action isn’t taken to control this issue, it poses a significant health and economic threat to the country.On the eve of Anti-Obesity Day, TBI released its report, “Building on Success to Secure India’s Future Health.” This report recommends four immediate steps for India to effectively manage this rapidly spreading epidemic: stricter regulations on unhealthy foods, widespread digital screening through Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and e-Sanjeevani, incentives for healthy behaviours, and planning for affordable anti-obesity drugs as generics become available.The report highlights India’s strong position to lead the world in prevention, supported by robust digital platforms, expanding primary care services, and a robust pharmaceutical manufacturing sector.Vivek Agarwal, the head of TBI’s India office, emphasizes India’s unique opportunity to transform preventive care and alleviate the increasing burden of obesity through its digital health strengths.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

NEW DELHI: Long-term exposure to pesticides may be damaging the brains and mental health of older farmers in West Bengal, according to a major study published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research. Researchers say the findings are a wake-up call for rural India, where chemical-heavy farming is widespread, with minimal safety practices.The study was carried out by experts from the ICMR–Centre for Ageing and Mental Health, Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, Sagore Dutta Hospital and the Institute of Health & Family Welfare in Kolkata. With chemical-intensive farming still the norm, the authors cautioned that the hidden burden of neurological and mental-health disorders could escalate rapidly without urgent preventive action.The research was conducted in the Galsi II block of Purba Bardhaman district, a region that mirrors the broader demographic profile of West Bengal, where nearly 69 per cent of people live in rural areas and agriculture remains the main source of livelihood. Researchers screened 808 residents aged 50 and above who had lived in the area for at least five years. Although the sample size was limited, the authors say it offers a reliable snapshot of the burden of common neurological and neuroinflammatory conditions in rural settings.More than one in five participants—180 people—showed signs of cognitive problems, depression or possible movement disorders. Cognitive impairment included difficulties with memory, reasoning, attention and overall thinking ability. Notably, 12.5% had only cognitive impairment, a figure higher than the prevalence reported in many urban elderly studies from southern and northern India. A study on urban adults in eastern India using the same tool reported mild cognitive impairment at 14.9%, indicating that rural populations may be equally, if not more, vulnerable.Exposure mattered significantly. Those handling pesticides regularly were nearly three times more likely to develop neurological or mental-health issues. The risk climbed further among individuals exposed for over 30 years or those who sprayed pesticides at least once a week. Farmers engaged solely in agricultural work had the poorest memory scores, struggled more with daily activities and showed higher levels of depression.Medical experts say the findings align with established scientific evidence. Dr Manjari Tripathi, head of the department of neurology at AIIMS, said pesticides have long been implicated in neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s dementia and related disorders. “Both the magnitude and duration of exposure are critical determinants of risk, she said. Researchers warn that without immediate policy attention, India’s rural elderly may face a rising burden of memory loss, depression and disability linked directly to decades of unchecked pesticide use.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

An Indian man, Ankur Tyagi, is returning to Delhi from Sweden, finding life there emotionally easier despite Europe’s clean air and systems.

Picture source: Ankur Tyagi’s website An Indian man living in Sweden has gone viral after saying he is returning to Delhi because, despite Europe’s clean air and smooth systems, life in India is emotionally easier.Ankur Tyagi wrote on X on Monday that people often assume Europe means clean air, good roads and smooth systems, but the reality of building a life there is very different.

You cook, clean, manage bills, raise your kid and fight the silence that hits you every single winter,” Ankur said. He said friends are polite but distant and community is rare, unlike India where there is chaos but also constant human contact.He says, “Community is rare. Back home, you fight corruption and chaos but at least you have people around you. In West problems are different and they cut deeper in ways you can’t explain unless you’ve lived it.”Ankur said he is returning to Delhi on 5 December despite the city’s pollution levels. “Every place has a cost. Most of us are just learning which costs we can survive. I’m coming to Delhi on 5 December,” he said, adding he needed “some real oxygen now of friends and family.

Comedian Kunal Kamra has sparked controversy with a social media post featuring a T-shirt seemingly mocking the RSS. The BJP has reacted strongly, with leaders warning of police action against such objectionable content. This incident follows Kamra’s previous clashes with political figures, including Prime Minister Modi and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra (Picture from X) NEW DELHI: Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has once again landed in controversy — this time over a photo he shared online wearing a T-shirt that appeared to mock the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The post quickly triggered outrage within the BJP, with the saffron party warning of police action.Maharashtra minister and senior BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule said the government would not ignore such posts. “The police would take action against anyone who puts out such objectionable posts,” he warned, responding to Kamra’s picture that showed a dog image alongside a reference to the RSS, the ideological parent of the BJP.Shiv Sena cabinet minister Sanjay Shirsat — whose party is a BJP ally — said the saffron party must respond strongly this time, recalling Kamra’s past potshots at both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde. “Earlier, he targeted Prime Minister Modi and Eknath Shinde, and now he has dared to directly attack the RSS. The BJP needs to respond to this,” Shirsat said.“We (Shiv Sena) responded to it (to Kamra’s critical comments on Shinde earlier this year). Now, he has mustered the courage to make an objectionable post against the RSS,” he added.This is not Kamra’s first clash with political leaders. In March, he sparked a storm after mocking Shinde during a show by tweaking the lyrics of a popular Hindi film song. Angered by his remarks, Shiv Sena workers later vandalised the Habitat Comedy Club in Mumbai’s Khar — the venue where Kamra had performed — as well as the hotel building it is housed in.Amid the fresh uproar, Kamra remained defiant. He clarified online that the photograph linked to the RSS reference was not “clicked at a comedy club,” pushing back against suggestions that the image was part of a performance.BJP leaders continue to call his post insulting and provocative.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

BJP’s AI video mocks Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar amid speculation of a leadership change. Supporters are pushing for his elevation as the Congress government reaches its halfway mark. While CM Siddaramaiah remains confident, a group of legislators are in Delhi lobbying for Shivakumar’s appointment, keeping the debate alive. Video credits: @BJP4Karnataka NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released an AI-generated video mocking Karnataka deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar, as speculation over a possible leadership change in the Congress government gained momentum again.The BJP’s Karnataka unit posted the clip on its official X account, showing Shivakumar attempting to buy a “chief minister chair” online. When he tries to add it to the cart, an “out of stock” message appears. The post was captioned, “DK Shivakumar right now.”The video comes at a time when Shivakumar’s supporters are renewing demands for his elevation to chief minister, as the Congress government completes the halfway mark of its five-year term.Ramanagara MLA Iqbal Hussain expressed his confidence in Shivakumar’s chances. “I always stand by that statement… 200 per cent, he will become the CM soon. The high command will decide. As our leader (Shivakumar) said, the transfer of power is a secret deal among five to six party leaders, and those five to six people will decide,” he said.After the 2023 assembly election, Shivakumar had been persuaded by the Congress to accept the deputy chief minister position. A group of Karnataka Congress legislators travelled to New Delhi on Tuesday to meet senior party leaders, saying the high command would make the final decision on whether Shivakumar should be elevated.Reports suggest that at least 15 MLAs and around a dozen MLCs have camped in Delhi to push the party leadership to make Shivakumar the next chief minister, as the Congress government reaches its mid-term milestone on November 20.Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, however, has indicated he has no plans to step down, interpreting the leadership’s silence as tacit support for his position. “Has the high command spoken on it? We can’t help it. Earlier also some people were discussing it, and now they might have gone (to Delhi). Finally, Shivakumar and I have to listen to whatever the high command says,” he said when asked about the MLAs and MLCs in Delhi.Asked whether he would present the next two state budgets, Siddaramaiah retorted, “Why are you asking this? Yes, I will continue. I will present the budgets in future also.”About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
