President’s rule should be imposed in Karnataka: Hariprasad
The Hindu
Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Legislative Council B.K. Hariprasad said that as elections were nearing in the State, the BJP has gone back to its old practice of creating unrest
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai should tender resignation to the post for his failure to maintain law and order in the State and not providing impartial governance, said Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Legislative Council B.K. Hariprasad on Sunday. If Mr. Bommai fails to resign, Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot should dismiss the Bommai government and impose President’s rule, he said.s
Talking to reporters, Mr. Hariprasad said that as elections were nearing in the State, the BJP has gone back to its old practice of creating unrest. The three murders in Dakshina Kannada are part of this ploy and BJP is gaining political mileage out of these murders.
While Mr. Bommai visited the house of slain BJP Yuva Morcha activist Praveen Nettaru and gave away compensation of Rs.25 lakh before handing over the case to the National Investigation Agency, he did not do the same in relation to murders of 18-year-old Masood and 22-year-old Mohammed Fazil. Such a differentiation in action is not acceptable from Chief Minister, who has taken oath under the Constitution to govern in an impartial way.
To gloss over the government’s failure to rein in perpetrators of the murders, Mr. Bommai has decided to hand over further investigation of Praveen’s murder to the NIA. Handing over the case will not help, Mr. Hariprasad said, and referred to the absence of progress by CBI into the 2017 murder of Paresh Mesta in Uttara Kannada district.
Earlier, Mr. Hariprasad and other Congress leaders visited the house of Praveen in Nettaru village, near Bellare, and spoke to his family members. When former Bantwal MLA B. Ramanath Rai reportedly stopped Praveen’s uncle Jayaram from speaking, the family members took the Congress leaders to task. As the Congress leaders were leaving the place, some people raised slogans against Congress .

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
