Amid allegations of India 'plotting to kill' a Sikh separatist on US soil, Union Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar said that the government is probing the allegation 'since the country shared certain inputs.'

S Jaishankar was answering CPI (M) MP Dr. John Brittas' question in the Upper House. Brittas had asked about the difference in approach of India towards the allegations of US and Canada who have accused India of plotting and killing Sikh separatists.&nbsp;

The woman mentioned in her post that her car door was locked so the man started aggressively asking her to pull down her window and said that she drove over his foot.&nbsp;
Her post further mentioned, "Even if he had walked behind my car to cross the road, in no logical way his feet can come under my car as I was driving straight ahead at 5kmph unless he deliberately put something under my back tyre."

For the first time in five years, as many as 45 seats across various Indian Institute of Technology branches remained vacant.
This year, 17,340 candidates were allotted seats in the 23 IITs, while the total number of available seats was 17,385.

All India judicial service at the district judge level: Govt says no consensus on proposal yet

Article 312 of the Constitution provides for the setting up all India judicial service, which shall not include any post inferior to that of a district judge.

There is no consensus on a proposal to set up an all India judicial service at the district judge level, the government told Rajya Sabha on Thursday.
In a written reply, Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal said there was divergence of opinion among the state governments and the 25 high courts on the constitution of this judicial service.
"While some state governments and high courts favoured the proposal, some were not in favour of creation of All India Judicial Service ... some others wanted changes in the proposal formulated by the central government," he said.
In government's view, Meghwal noted, a properly framed all India judicial service is important to strengthen overall justice delivery system.
"This will give an opportunity for induction of suitably qualified fresh legal talent selected through a proper all-India merit selection system as well as address the issue of social inclusion by enabling suitable representation to marginalized and deprived sections of society," he said.&nbsp;

Bihar DNA remark: BJP demands apology from Telangana CM Reddy

Telangana Chief minister Revanth Reddy slammed KCR and quoted that his DNA is better than KCR's DNA. He also stated that KCR migrated from Bihar and his caste is kumri.&nbsp;

The BJP on Thursday criticised Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's "Bihar DNA" remark and demanded that the Congress and other members of the opposition INDIA bloc condemn his comment and ask him to apologise.
Reddy reportedly said during a recent interaction with journalists that K Chandrashekar Rao, the first chief minister of Telangana, has "Bihari genes", indicating that he was a better choice for the state than KCR.
"My DNA is Telangana. KCR's DNA is Bihar. He belongs to Bihar. KCR's caste is Kurmi. They migrated from Bihar to Vijayanagaram and from there to Telangana. Telangana DNA is better than Bihar DNA," Reddy had allegedly said.
Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad termed Reddy's remarks "very shameful, divisive and arrogant" and demanded that the Congress and other INDIA bloc members condemn it.
He also demanded an apology from Reddy for making such remarks against the people of Bihar.
"I condemn his remarks," Prasad told PTI at the Parliament complex.
He further said, "Does he want to break the country? The big question here is why are the INDIA alliance members silent. Why has Nitish Kumar not said anything (on Reddy's remarks) so far? What are the Congress members in Bihar doing?" Prasad also questioned the silence of former Congress presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on Reddy's remarks.
"Your chief minister calls one region's DNA weak and makes very shameful casteist remarks against his own party leaders (who are in Bihar), this is very unfortunate. We condemn it. The Congress party should also condemn it if they have even a little understanding of the significance of unity in the country," he said.
The BJP's Buxar MP and Union Minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey said Reddy's "petty" remarks have hurt the sentiments of the people of Bihar and demanded that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar respond to it.
"Congress leaders are creating a dirty atmosphere in the country... The kind of petty remarks that the Congress leader, who is... the chief minister (of Telangana), has made, people will give them a befitting reply," Choubey told PTI.
BJP MP and former deputy chief minister of Bihar Sushil Modi also hit out at the Congress and its INDIA bloc allies over Reddy's remarks and demanded that they ask the Telangana chief minister to apologise.
He said, "The INDI Alliance members kept insulting Hindu Dharma and Sanatan Dharma. Now they have come to Bihar DNA. Is it appropriate to say that Telangana DNA is better than the Bihar DNA and make such insulting comments against the people of another state?"

'Don't say 'aadarniya Modiji'': PM Narendra Modi tells MPs

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday urged BJP MPs to not address him as 'Modi ji' or 'aadarniya'.

While addressing parliamentarians at the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) meeting in the national Capital on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged BJP MPs to not address him as 'Modi ji' or 'aadarniya'.&nbsp;

PM Modi further told MPs to think of him as one of them. PM Modi said, "I am a small karyakarta of the party and people think that I am part of their family. Don&rsquo;t add adjectives like Shri or aadaraniya as people think of me as one of them and as Modi."

Live-in relationship 'dangerous disease', should be law against it: BJP MP

While requesting the government to make a law against live-in relationships, he added that this evil is fast spreading in Indian society and the consequences are horrible.

A BJP MP from Haryana on Thursday called live-in relationships a "dangerous disease" that needs to be eradicated from society and urged the government to enact a law against it.
Raising the issue in the Lok Sabha during 'zero hour', Dharambir Singh also said divorce rates in love marriages were high and the consent of the parents of the bride and groom should therefore be made mandatory for such alliances.
"I want to bring to the notice of the government and Parliament a very serious issue. Indian culture is known for its philosophy of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (world is one family) and brotherhood. Our social fabric is different from others in the world. The whole world is impressed by our unity in diversity," the MP from Bhiwani-Mahendragarh said.
Noting that India has a long tradition of arranged marriages, Singh said a large section of society even to this day gives priority to marriages arranged by parents or relatives.
This has the consent of the bride and groom and arranged marriages are based on a match of several common factors such as social and individual values and likes as well as family backgrounds, he said.
"Marriage is considered a sacred relationship that continues for seven generations...The divorce rate is about 1.1 per cent in India as compared with America which has a rate of about 40 per cent. It has been observed that the rate of divorce in arranged marriages is very less. However, there is a lot of increase in divorce rate recently and the main reason for it is love marriages," Singh said.
"Therefore, it is my suggestion that the consent of mother and father of the bride and groom be made mandatory in love marriages because in large parts of the country marriage does not happen in the same 'gotra' and due to love marriages there are a lot of conflicts in the villages. Scores of families are destroyed in these conflicts, therefore the consent of both the families is important," he said.
Singh said a "new disease" has emerged and this social evil is called "live-in relationship".
Under this, two persons, man or woman, live together without marriage, the BJP MP said.
"Such relationships are very common in western nations but this evil is fast spreading in our society also and the consequences are horrible. Recently, the case of Shraddha (Walkar) and Aftab (Poonawala) had come to light in which both were in a live-in relationship," Singh said.
Such cases keep coming to the fore almost daily, he added while referring to the gruesome case in Delhi of a man allegedly killing his live-in partner and chopping her body to pieces.
"Not only this is ruining our culture but also hatred and evils are spreading in the society. If this continues our culture will die and there will be no difference between us and others," he said.
"I request the minister that a law be made against live-in relationships so that this dangerous disease can be eradicated from society," Singh said.&nbsp;
