Sudershan Reddy's candidature strengthens our collective resolve to safeguard democracy, says Stalin
Chief Minister M.K. Stalin congratulated retired Supreme Court judge B. Sudershan Reddy on being named INDIA bloc's Vice-Presidential candidate. 'I wholeheartedly congratulate Thiru B. Sudershan Reddy on being chosen as the vice-presidential candidate of the Opposition,' he said. Mr. Reddy was a jurist of integrity and independence, and a champion of civil liberties and social justice, and upheld constitutional values throughout his career, Mr. Stalin said. 'At a time when our institutions are under strain, his candidature strengthens our collective resolve to safeguard democracy and protect the spirit of the Constitution,' he added. Contending that all the independent institutions meant to safeguard democracy had been turned into the 'subsidiary bodies of the ruling party', and that the Constitution was in danger, he said, 'In such a situation, the responsibility before us is to support only the one who believes in India's fundamental ideals of secularism, federalism, social justice, and unity in diversity.' Mr. Stalin alleged that the BJP-led government at the Centre was 'continuously inflicting injustice on Tamil Nadu' — refusing to accept the State's rightful demands such as exemption from NEET, recognition of Keeladi's antiquity, fairness in fund devolution, and release of educational funds. 'Through Governors, it has been running a parallel government and blocking the functioning of State governments, while engaging in efforts to weaken institutions of higher education.' The DMK was consistently and vociferously raising its voice in Parliament against the unconstitutional denial of the State rights, the centralisation of power, the rising tide of hate propaganda, and the relentless imposition of Hindi and Sanskrit — 'all of which dig a grave for the Constitution and attempt to bury it', Mr. Stalin said. The DMK president said 'secular-spirited people of Tamil Nadu' had, in successive elections, overwhelmingly voted for the MPs and MLAs of the DMK-led alliance to defend the rights of the State and safeguard the Constitution. 'This decision stands as both a reaffirmation of the people's faith and a mark of respect for their mandate and sentiment.' 'As someone who can create space for constructive debates in Parliament, conduct the House by giving the rightful place to the voice of the Opposition, and as a democrat who has faith in the Constitution and in the principles of federalism, pluralism, social justice, and linguistic rights — Mr. Sudershan Reddy stands. As the opposite of anti-federalism, authoritarianism, and the trend of spreading hatred — Mr. Sudershan Reddy stands,' he said.

Big Setback For Mamata Banerjee, Top Court Junks Plea In Teacher Scam Case
Kolkata: The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed a West Bengal government petition seeking review of its April 7 verdict in the alleged cash-for-jobs scam involving the state's School Service Commission. The top court had upheld a Calcutta High Court order cancelling the appointments of over 25,000 staff, both teaching and non-teaching, after what was found to be a fraudulent process. In a big setback to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee - on a topic the BJP will use to attack the Trinamool before next year's election - the Supreme Court also came down heavily on Bengal government. "Adverse remarks made against the authorities concerned - wholly and solely responsible for this imbroglio - that adversely affected the lives of thousands of candidates, both tainted and untainted, were fully warranted and justified," the top court said this afternoon. "Invalidation of untainted appointments, no doubt, would lead to heartburn and anguish... which the court was fully conscious of... but protecting the purity of the selection process is paramount and necessarily has to be given the highest priority," the court said. The High Court had earlier cancelled the selection process for 2016; this meant 25,753 men and women were fired - they had been illegally recruited, the court ruled - and told to return their salaries with 12 per cent interest. A year later the Supreme Court upheld that order; the top court ruled the entire selection process had been "vitiated by manipulation and fraud". READ | Big Blow To Trinamool, 25,000 Teachers Fired, Told To Return Salary The cancellation led to a massive political row in Bengal, with Ms Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and the opposition, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, at each other's throats. Ms Banerjee - under fire with a critical Assembly election next year - said she would protect the jobs of 'deserving' teachers and pointed to similar scandals in BJP-ruled states. "In the Vyapam case in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, so many people were killed. They have not got justice till today. In NEET, many allegations surfaced. The Supreme Court did not cancel the examination. Why is Bengal being targeted? We want to know. You are scared of Bengal's talent," she told a gathering of sacked teachers at Kolkata's Netaji Indoor Stadium. In the weeks and months that followed disgruntled 'tainted' teachers held furious protests in Kolkata, and clashed with police. By May-end Ms Banerjee acknowledged the court's order would be followed; she said her government would open a new round of applications. She said 44,203 vacant posts would be filled and that age-related qualifying criteria would be relaxed for those who had lost their jobs earlier. However, many of those individuals have protested at being asked to sit for the qualifying exams again. "We will not sit for a fresh exam. Our demand is clear..."

Naga Students' Federation protests court-allowed medical seat for ‘non-indigenous' candidate
Kohima, The Naga Students' Federation on Tuesday staged a protest opposing the candidature of Vatsala Phangal for a state medical seat under the Nagaland quota in NEET 2025. Naga Students' Federation protests court-allowed medical seat for 'non-indigenous' candidate Addressing the gathering, NSF president Medovi Rhi said the federation was "deeply discouraged" to learn that a non-indigenous candidate had applied for a seat reserved for indigenous inhabitants of the state. He asserted that the 42 MBBS seats allotted to the state "belong to Nagaland," and that the rights and future of the Nagas must not be taken away by outsiders. "This is our right and our future cannot be decided by outsiders," Rhi said, urging all sections of society to stand in solidarity with the NSF. Vatsala had scored 455 with All India Rank 1,13,803 and state Rank 1 under Category-III in the recently conducted NEET exams. He clarified that the federation was not targeting any individual but defending the rights of Naga students. However, NSF said, "While the candidate has listed an address in Kohima owing to her father's current posting, it is an established fact that she is from Haryana. She is not an indigenous to Nagaland and does not belong to any recognised tribe of the state." Rhi expressed dismay that an army officer was "fighting for his daughter's candidature". "One person cannot decide the future of our Naga community," he said. The NSF president thanked students, medical aspirants, and members of the All Nagaland College Students' Union for supporting the protest. He announced that the federation will continue to oppose the candidature and prevent the nominee from collecting admission forms from the technical education department. The protest comes in the backdrop of ongoing legal proceedings. On July 28, the Kohima Bench of the Gauhati High Court issued an interim order permitting Phangal to provisionally participate in counseling for the NEET-UG 2025 Nagaland State Quota, while directing the authorities to keep one medical seat vacant until final disposal of the petition. The technical education department had earlier rejected Phangal's application, citing that she is not a Scheduled Tribe candidate and does not belong to any indigenous Naga community. According to official guidelines, state medical quota seats are reserved exclusively for indigenous inhabitants of Nagaland who can produce the requisite indigenous inhabitant certificate and Scheduled Tribe certificate. However, Phangal's family, led by her father—an Army officer—challenged the rejection in court, arguing that she had studied in Nagaland, appeared for the examination under the state code, and should be considered eligible. On Tuesday, the Principal Bench of the Gauhati High Court stayed the Kohima Bench's interim order and fixed the next hearing after two weeks.
