Siddaramaiah government to play it safe on Scheduled Castes internal quotas
BENGALURU: The Justice HN Nagamohan Das Commission report on internal reservation for Scheduled Castes (SC) is likely to be placed before the Siddaramaiah cabinet on Thursday. Since the report could stoke controversy, the cabinet is likely to play it safe by appointing a cabinet sub-committee to study it and file a report for implementation of the quota, according to sources. 'The CM will share copies of the 1,766-page report among cabinet colleagues and suggest they study it and return for a discussion at the next cabinet meeting,' a source said. It is learnt that the commission, in its quota matrix, formed five groups among the 101 SC castes and shared 17 per cent quota among them. It has recommended 6 per cent to SC-Left, 5 per cent to SC-Right, 4 per cent to Bhovi, Lambani, Koracha and Korama, 1 per cent to Adi Karnataka (AK), Adi Dravida (AD) and Adi Andhra (AA) castes, and 1 per cent to about 49 microscopic castes. During the previous BJP government, the Bommai cabinet had in March 2023, following the report of the cabinet sub-committee headed by JC Madhuswamy, recommended 6 per cent for SC-Left, 5.5 per cent for SC-Right, 4.5 per cent for Bhovi, Lambani, Koracha and Korama castes and 1 per cent for others.

Special counsel raids foreign ministry in probe into ex-defense chief
Special Counsel Lee Myeong-hyeon's team raided the foreign ministry Wednesday over allegations that former Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup was abruptly allowed to leave the country last year to avoid an investigation into suspected government interference in the military probe into the death of a Marine in 2023. The team has been investigating the circumstances surrounding Lee's sudden appointment as the ambassador to Australia on March 4 last year, when he was under probe by the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials over his alleged involvement in the external intervention in the Marine death case. At the time of his appointment, Lee was under a travel ban due to the CIO probe but the justice ministry lifted the ban on March 7. Lee immediately departed for Australia but returned home 11 days later as controversy mounted over his abrupt departure. At that time, critics raised suspicions that former President Yoon Suk Yeol had attempted to have Lee flee overseas by appointing him as the envoy to Australia. Prosecutors and investigators from the special counsel team reportedly searched the offices of the foreign minister and personnel affairs officials to secure data related to Lee's appointment as the Australian ambassador. Earlier this week, the team carried out searches and seizures against former Justice Minister Park Sung-jae and former Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul in connection with its probe into the Lee-related allegations.
