The Hindu
“We are no B-team. We are that side of the scale, those we tilt towards will sit on the takht (power) and those whom we abandon, will be flattened on a takhta (board),” said All India Maljis-e-Itthehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday while addressing a joint rally with backward caste leader Om Prakash Rajbhar in Balrampur.
Mr. Owaisi and Mr. Rajbhar, chief of the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party, are part of a Bhagidari Sankalp Morcha, a front of almost a dozen smaller parties in U.P., including outfits run by former BSP Minister Babu Singh Kushwaha and Krishna Patel, mother of BJP ally Anupriya Patel. At the rally, Mr. Owaisi urged people to embrace the “alternate political platform” provided by the Morcha for the 2022 Uttar Pradesh elections, as he took on the BJP government but also issued warnings to its opponents, the SP, the BSP and the Congress.

For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
