Ambedkar row: Bihar State Commission for Scheduled Castes serves notice to Lalu Prasad
The State Commission for Scheduled Castes (SCSC) in Bihar on Sunday (June 15, 2025) served a notice to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad for allegedly insulting Bhimrao Ambedkar as a portrait of the Dalit icon was placed at his feet. On Saturday, a video went viral on social media, following which the ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slammed Mr. Prasad over the alleged act. SCSC Vice Chairman Devendra Kumar Manjhi sent the notice, which was dated June 13, and was released in media on June 15. 'On the occasion of your birthday, you and your party worker were seen insulting the photo of the architect of the Constitution, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar-ji. The video is being seen continuously on social media,' Mr. Manjhi said in the letter written in Hindi. 'Thus, provide an explanation within 15 days or else it would be assumed that you have done this intentionally. In failing to do so, a case will be registered against you under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989,' the letter stated. In the video, the ailing leader is seen seated on a couch, with his feet placed on a sofa nearby. A supporter enters the room carrying the portrait of Ambedkar and places it close to Mr. Prasad's feet before greeting him on his 78th birthday on June 11. 'More than 36 hours have passed since the video of the insult to Babasaheb surfaced. The entire Bihar is hurt by that video. But so far, not a single word of regret has come from the RJD,' BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary said on Sunday in a message on social media platform X. Responding to the issue, RJD leader and Mr. Lalu Prasad's son Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday said that the BJP was spreading lies about his father, and termed the allegations baseless. Attacking the BJP, Mr. Tejashwi Yadav said that the BJP had nothing to do with Ambedkar's principles and ideology. The BJP's national spokesperson, Guru Prakash Paswan, said that Mr. Lalu Prasad's action was unacceptable and unpardonable. 'For someone who claims to be the champion of social justice to disrespect and insult the legacy of Ambedkar shows his true face, nature, and character. At the end of the day, the RJD remains a family-oriented, dynasty-oriented organisation, which has hardly or rarely ventured beyond family politics,' Mr. Paswan told media persons. 'All the position and powers in the organisation and in the government have remained with the family. For example, the Leader of the Opposition would be Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the House in the Legislative Council would be Rabri Devi, the daughter would go to the Rajya Sabha, the daughter will contest in the Lok Sabha, and so forth. It shows the real character, and they are the 'neo-feudals' who, in the name of social justice, do nothing,' Mr. Paswan. Meanwhile, Mr. Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday announced on social media that, if his party formed the government in Bihar, a '100% domicile law' would be implemented, with all the jobs in Bihar given only to the people of Bihar and 'not to outsiders'.

'Extremely alarming': 164 children waiting over a year for mental health care
There are 164 children who have been waiting more than a year for mental health services in Scotland – marking a 20% increase from this time last year. An additional 253 young people have been waiting between nine months and a year for treatment with NHS Scotland's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). The Scottish Children's Services Coalition (SCSC), an alliance of leading providers, called the figures 'extremely alarming'. 'Each one of these statistics is an individual, and we would urge the Scottish Government to ensure the adequate resourcing of mental health services for our children and young people so that they can get the care and support they need, without lengthy waits,' a spokesperson for the SCSC said. 'We are facing a mental health emergency, and many of our children and young people are at breaking point, with stress and anxiety reaching alarming levels as they battle with the long shadow of lockdown and the rising cost of living. 'This is also having a negative impact on classroom behaviour, affecting the young people concerned, their fellow pupils and staff.' Although Public Health Scotland has insisted that the number of children starting treatment within 18 weeks of referral is improving, the number of people waiting for over 18 weeks has increased across the board since December 2024. From December 2024 to March 2025, the number of children waiting over a year has increased from 145 to 164. Since March 2024, that figure has risen from 137. The number of children waiting between five and nine months has also increased since December from 424 to 499. The only category that's fallen is the number of children waiting between nine months and a year – from 283 to 253. Most of the children who have been waiting for more than 12 months are in the NHS Lothian district. NHS Lothian has the highest number of children on the CAMHS waitlist of any other health board, and it accounts for 88% of the children waiting more than a year for treatment. NHS Lothian has been contacted for comment. Get all the latest news from around the country Follow STV News Scan the QR code on your mobile device for all the latest news from around the country

The 7 it distribution & solutions stocks we track reported a mixed Q1. As a group, revenues along with next quarter's revenue guidance were in line with analysts' consensus estimates.

In response to the Fed's rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has been gradually trending down from its post-pandemic peak, trending closer to the Fed's 2% target. Despite higher borrowing costs, the economy has avoided flashing recessionary signals. This is the much-desired soft landing that many investors hoped for. The recent rate cuts (0.5% in September and 0.25% in November 2024) have bolstered the stock market, making 2024 a strong year for equities. Donald Trump's presidential win in November sparked additional market gains, sending indices to record highs in the days following his victory.
