    According to sources, EPS is expected to discuss the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as the relationship between the AIADMK and Tamil Nadu unit of the BJP is not good. Tamil Nadu unit president of the BJP, K. Annamalai has come out against the AIADMK both overtly and covertly and AIADMK also had responded to it quite strongly.

    The AIADMK delegation will also highlight the party withdrawing its Pulikeshi Nagar Assembly constituency candidate, D. Anbarasan from the Karnataka Assembly election after senior BJP leaders from Delhi had requested EPS to do so.

  • Decision to scrap quota to Muslims will not be implemented till May 9

    Decision to scrap quota to Muslims will not be implemented till May 9

    NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed that the Karnataka government’s decision to scrap four percent quota for Muslims will not be implemented till May 9 after the state sought time to file its reply.

    A bench of Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna said the earlier regime of four percent quota to Muslims will continue to hold field till May 9, when the matter will be heard next, without any prejudice to the contentions to be raised by the state government.

    At the outset, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the state government, said he will be filing the reply during the day.

    “I will be filing it today but the problem is I (solicitor general) am in personal difficulty as I am arguing before the constitution bench which is hearing pleas related to same-sex marriage. Kindly put the matter for some other day”, he told the bench.

    Senior advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for the petitioners, opposed the request for adjournment by Mehta, and said the hearing has already been deferred four times.

    Mehta said the interim order passed by the court is already in the petitioners’ favour.

    Dave requested the court to record the submission of Mehta that impugned orders, scrapping the quota for Muslims will not be implemented and the earlier order of March 30, 2002, granting the quota will hold the field till next date of hearing.

    The bench agreed with Dave and recorded the submission, while posting the matter for further hearing on May 9.

    On April 18, the top court had deferred till April 25 hearing on a batch of pleas challenging scrapping of the four per cent Muslim quota.

    It had recorded the assurance given by the state government on April 13 that no quota benefits in admission to educational institutions and appointment in government jobs will be given to Vokkaligas and Lingayats till the next date of hearing.

    On April 13, the Karnataka government’s decision to scrap four per cent Muslim quota ahead of the assembly polls came under the scanner of the Supreme Court, which questioned the government order and said prima facie it appeared to be on a “highly shaky ground” and “flawed”.

    Taking note of the observations, the Karnataka government had assured the top court that it will put on hold its March 24 orders by which it had given quotas in admission to educational institutions and appointment in government jobs to Vokkaligas and Lingayats, till the next date of hearing.

    The four per cent reservation for Muslims was to be equally split between the two communities.

    The top court said from the records tabled before it appears that the Karnataka government’s decision is based on “absolutely fallacious assumption”.

  • Family who lost son on Eid donates his organs to save two lives in Delhi

    Family who lost son on Eid donates his organs to save two lives in Delhi

    NEW DELHI: A grieving family of Muslim labourers gave a life-changing gift to a boy and a young man on Eid. They donated the organs of their nine-year-old son who was declared brain dead on April 21 after an accident.
    Doctors tried to revive the boy, who was brought to AIIMS on April 15 with severe head injuries after a two-wheeler accident. They couldn’t.
    After the AIIMS organ retrieval banking organisation spoke to the family, they signed the consent forms on April 22. The boy was the youngest of the five children of the couple who did not have the heart to speak about the donation. The family is from Mewat in Haryana.
    The boy’s cousin told TOI that the decision was a tough one for the entire family. He was the youngest, and they lost him at the time of the festival, he said. “If his organs can save the lives of others, then it’s the best gift to him,” the cousin said.
    The boy was born with one kidney, which AIIMS confirmed after a CT scan and a USG of his abdomen. It was retrieved to be donated to a 20-year-old youth from Haryana’s Bahadurgarh, admitted to AIIMS.
    His liver has been given to a 16-year-old boy at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, according to allocation by the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO), doctors in AIIMS said.
    Both his corneas were retrieved by the RP Centre Eye Bank and will be given to patients in AIIMS in the near future. The boy’s heart valves were also retrieved to be used later. However, his heart and lungs were not found suitable for transplant by experts from NOTTO.
    AIIMS doctors said this was the fifth paediatric donation in the age group of 1-12 years of the 19 donations at the JPN Apex Trauma Centre since April 2022.
    Dr Deepak Gupta, professor of neurosurgery and faculty in-charge of the organ procurement team, trauma centre, said there is a myth that organs can be extracted for donation only from patients only between 18 years and 60 years of age. Organ donation can be done after brain death of a patient, irrespective of their age, he said.
    “A set of two tests are conducted (repeated at interval of six hours in adults and 12 hours in children) by a team of four doctors for brain death certification according to the Transplantation of Human Organs & Tissues Act (THOTA),” he said. A brain-dead patient can give a new lease of life to an average of eight patients after consent is given by the patient’s family.
    He said that in the case of neonatal donors, they are too small to recover organs for transplantation, especially those younger than one year of age. Finding suitable recipients for such young donors can be a challenge too.

    The current rise in Covid cases is driven by XBB.1.16, a sub-variant of Omicron. Though Covid-19 cases are rising, hospitalisation is low, officials said.

  • Hope China to facilitate continued presence of Indian journalists: MEA

    Hope China to facilitate continued presence of Indian journalists: MEA


    In a fresh controversy that broke out after China decided to ‘freeze’ visas of two Indian journalists, New Delhi on Thursday said it hoped that authorities in Beijing would facilitate continued presence of its journalists in the Asian nation.
    “There are Chinese journalists who have valid Indian visas to undertake journalistic activities. So from that perspective, I do not see any limitations or difficulties in reporting or doing media coverage,” Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said.
    Stating that India is in touch with Chinese authorities in this regard, Bagchi said: “As regards Indian journalists working in China, we would hope that Chinese authorities would facilitate their continued presence and reporting from China.”

    Correspondents for The Hindu newspaper and state broadcaster Prasar Bharati were told on Tuesday that their visas have been frozen.

    Responding to the move, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said that journalists from China have been treated unfairly in India for a long time, adding that a Xinhua journalist was recently asked to leave India by March 31.

    The development came days after India objected to China renaming names of 11 locations in Arunchal Pradesh, which China calls ‘Zangnan’, the southern part of Tibet, and claims as its territory.

    The ties between the two Asian behemoths have deteriorated since mid-2020, when Chinese and Indian troops clashed at the Galwan Valley, leaving 24 dead.
