2 RAS aspirants on hunger strike at RU shifted to SMS Hospital
1 2 Jaipur: The health condition of two girls on hunger strike at Rajasthan University (RU), demanding the postponment of RAS Mains exams, deteriorated and they were rushed to SMS Hospital Sunday. The RAS Mains aspirants were in protest at RU since Wednesday night, with at least six students on an indefinite hunger strike. However, due to the heat, the health of two girls deteriorated, with one of them fainting, and they were rushed to the hospital for medical assistance. "The peaceful hunger strike demanding postponement of the date of the RAS Main Exam 2024 has now turned into a serious health crisis. The candidates repeatedly appealed to chief minister and ministers to come to the protest site, talk, and end the agitation by taking a positive decision. But no concrete response has been received so far," said one of the aspirants. The RAS Mains 2024 exam is scheduled to take place on June 17-18, but aspirants pointed out that the interviews for RAS 2023 are currently in progress, with the results pending announcement. Candidates demanded that the Mains exam should be conducted after the interview results for the previous recruitment process are announced. "In the scorching 40–42-degree temperature, the students have been on hunger strike for over the past 60 hours without eating or drinking anything. The condition is continuously deteriorating. Now the question arises that if the life of any student is in danger, who will take responsibility for it?" said Deepak Kaushik, one of the protesters.

Moscow: US President Donald Trump's envoy, Keith Kellogg, on Wednesday scolded a top Russian official for stoking fears of World War Three after Trump warned President Vladimir Putin was "playing with fire" over Ukraine. As Russian forces advanced in Ukraine, Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said that Putin was playing with fire and cautioned that "REALLY BAD" things would have happened already to Russia if it was not for Trump himself. "What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened in Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He's playing with fire," Trump said in a Truth Social post on Tuesday. Top Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev, a former president, dismissed Trump's criticism. "Regarding Trump's words about Putin 'playing with fire' and 'really bad things' happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing - WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!" Medvedev wrote in English on the social media platform X. Regarding Trump's words about Putin "playing with fire" and "really bad things" happening to Russia.

"Stoking fears of WW III is an unfortunate, reckless comment... and unfitting of a world power," Kellogg said on X.
