Kamal Haasan pens heartfelt note after taking oath as Rajya Sabha MP
NEW DELHI: Renowned filmmaker and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief Kamal Haasan made his Parliament debut as he took oath as a Rajya Sabha MP on Friday. His election to the Upper House marks a significant milestone in his political journey. The 69-year-old actor turned politician found MNM in 2018. He was nominated with the support of the ruling DMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu. He was promised a Rajya Sabha seat in return for MNM's support during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Hassan was given a desk-thumping welcome by fellow Parliamentarians as he read the oath in Tamil. Later in the afternoon, the MNM founder released a heartfelt note addressing the people of the country and his state, Tamil Nadu in which Hassan shared thoughts on the ideology of his party, self-commitments and expressed gratitude towards people who had supported him. The actor, who is widely loved for multiple memorable performances, stated that he had sworn to uphold the Constitution of India, not as a ritual of formality but as a solemn promise to serve it spirit with fidelity, courage and conscience. I do not arrive in parliament as a mere critic but as a committed contributor to the idea of India. Where I must oppose, I will do so with reason. Where I must support, I will do so with conviction. And where I must advise, I will do so constructively - not to score points, but to build consensus, he wrote. Hassan said that he spoke centrism; not as a compromise but as a conviction. Centrism, the political ideology of MNM, is the art of balance, of embracing equality and efficiency, liberty and fraternity, tradition and progress. It is a philosophy rooted not in hesitation, but in harmony. In times when polarisation threatens to erode dialogue, the centre must holdnot stand still but to move forward together, his note, posted on X, read. On June 12, Haasan and five others were elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Tamil Nadu. The five others elected are DMKs Poet Salma (A Rokkaiah Malik), SR Sivalingam, P Wilson (who enters his second term), and AIADMKs IS Inbadurai and Dhanapal. In a separate post on X in Tamil, Hassan conveyed his gratitude towards Tamil Nadu chief minister and president of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MK Stalin and wished him a speedy recovery. At this moment, I am deeply grateful to the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, my dear friend Mr. @mkstalin, the Honourable Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, my cherished younger brother Mr. @Udhaystalin , the leaders of the alliance parties led by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, and the members of the Makkal Needhi Maiam. The news that my dear friend Mr. Stalin, who is undergoing treatment in the hospital, will soon recover fully and return home brings me immense joy. On this day, I wholeheartedly wish him good health and great successes forever, the post states. , ' , ' ' Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) July 25, 2025

Pakistan End Series on High with 74-Run Win; Bangladesh Clinch Series 2-1
Paceman Salman Mirza grabbed three wickets and opener Sahibzada Farhan struck an aggressive fifty in Pakistan's consolation 74-run win in the third T20 on Thursday as Bangladesh took the series 2-1. Mirza, playing only his third international, demolished Bangladesh's top order with figures of 3-19 as the home team was bowled out for 104 in 16.4 overs in Dhaka. Farhan's 41-ball 63 studded with five sixes and six fours got Pakistan off to a strong start and Hasan Nawaz clubbed 33 off 17 balls to help them to 178-7 after they were sent in to bat. Mirza struck with the second ball of the innings, dismissing Tanzid Hassan caught behind for nought which triggered a batting collapse. Only Mohammad Saifuddin contributed a score of note as he made an unbeaten 35. Mohammad Naim (10) was the only other Bangladesh batsman to reach double figures. Seamer Faheem Ashraf took 2-13 and Mohammad Nawaz wrapped up the win with the final two wickets. I am very proud of my team, said Pakistan captain Salman Agha. This is what we talked about as a team, no matter what situation we are in, we want to show character. Bangladesh skipper Litton Das praised his's team effort in the series win. We played some good cricket and it's great to win a series against Pakistan, said Litton, who also led the team to a T20 series win in Sri Lanka last week. Having already won their first-ever T20 series against Pakistan with victories in the first two matches, Bangladesh rested five of their main players including spearhead Mustafizur Rahman. Pakistan had scored 110 and 125 in the first two matches -- also in Dhaka -- losing by seven wickets and eight runs respectively. Farhan, who replaced Fakhar Zaman as one of two changes for Pakistan, put on 82 for the opening stand with Saim Ayub (21). Farhan fell in the 12th over to spinner Nasum Ahmed who finished with 2-22 in his four overs. Pace bowler Taskin Ahmed took 3-38.

Bengaluru: College student dies by suicide; three classmates booked for abetment
BENGALURU: A 22-year-old college student allegedly died by suicide, following which a case has been registered against three of his classmates on charges of abetment, police said on Wednesday. The deceased, Arun C from Hassan, was found hanging from an iron rod with a saree at his home on July 11. He had returned home for the vacation after completing his eighth-semester exams, police said. Arun was an architecture student at a private college in the city. At the time of the incident, his parents, daily-wage labourers, were away at work. Police recovered a death note in which Arun did not hold anyone responsible for taking the extreme step. The note did not mention the names of any classmates. Initially, a case of unnatural death was registered. However, the case took a turn after Arun's parents approached the Madanayakanahalli police station with a complaint, accusing three of his classmates of harassing their son on a college WhatsApp group. They alleged this harassment led to his death. In the FIR, the parents claimed Arun had been subjected to mental harassment and humiliation by the three classmates for over a year. They allegedly sent derogatory messages about him in the class WhatsApp group, a fact later confirmed to the parents by two of Arun's friends. The complaint also mentioned that Arun had recorded a video expressing his distress and shared it in the class WhatsApp group shortly before his death, a detail the parents discovered only after his demise. Based on the complaint, we have registered an FIR against the three students under Sections 108 (abetment of suicide) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The matter is under investigation, and further legal action will follow based on the findings, a senior police officer said. As part of the probe, the police will soon issue notices to Arun's roommates, friends, classmates, and college authorities to ascertain the circumstances leading to his death.

Karnataka High Court shocked over forest departments case against AC
BENGALURU: Expressing shock over the forest department registering a criminal case against an assistant commissioner (AC), the Karnataka High Court quashed the complaint against him. Merely passing a quasi-judicial order against the forest departments claim of forest land and terming it government gomal land by the AC cannot be a crime, observed Justice M Nagaprasanna, allowing the petition filed by BA Jagadeesh, then AC of Hassan subdivision. Jagadeesh questioned the proceedings pending before a trial court on a private complaint filed by the DCF of Hassan division. What shocks the conscience of the court is that the Forest Department is registering a crime for the performance of the petitioners quasi-judicial functions. As an AC, he has passed an order, not bartering away the forest land to a private entity, but observing it as a Sarkari Gomala, the court said. One TD Dasegowda, submitted an application to the Public Information Officer and the tahsildar seeking documents of a property situated in Sy. No. 22 measuring 61 acres and 32 guntas in Tyavalli village, Hassan. The tahsildar on Oct 28, 2020, informed Dasegowda that the files were not available in the office records. The applicant then filed an RTI before Jagadeesh, the prosecution said. Jagadeesh heard the matter from July 23, 2021 to December 17, 2021, and passed the order on January 5, 2022, directing that the entry in the record of rights be made Sarkari Gomala.
Political biography on Oommen Chandy launched; remembered as leader of the masses
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan on Wednesday described former chief minister Oommen Chandy as a true leader of the masses, known for his exceptional patience and empathy towards people. He was speaking at the release of a political biography on Chandy, authored by his close aide and former press secretary P T Chacko. The first copy of the book was handed over to noted artist Soorya Krishnamoorthy. Recollecting Chandys leadership style, Satheesan said, He was always surrounded by crowds, listening patiently to everyone. He never complained or turned them away. I dont have that level of patience, but Chandy never lost his calm. The United Nations award for his Janasamparka Yatra is a recognition of his administrative and people-management skills. He also recalled how Chandy had access to crucial files even while in the opposition. I remember discussing the lottery scam with him. He knew it would be a major blow to the then V S Achuthanandan government. His sources and skills helped the opposition access key documents that exposed the scam, he said. Satheesan added that Chandys administrative decisions post-Janasamparka Yatra were swift and impactful. He issued 43 government orders following the outreach programme, including initiatives like free medicine for haemophilia patients and subsidised cancer drugs, he said. Congress leader M M Hassan highlighted Chandys empathetic leadership and service-orientated approach which continue to inspire generations. God blessed him with all the good qualities. His governance model remains a benchmark for all, he said. The book release event was attended by numerous Congress workers and prominent personalities, who shared their memories and reflections on Oommen Chandy.
Heart ailments not just occupational, but lifestyle related: Jayadeva director
BENGALURU: In the wake of the Hassan report finding that nearly 30% of people who died of sudden heart attacks were autorickshaw and cab drivers, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research Director Dr KS Ravindranath warned that the problem goes far beyond just one profession. Not just auto drivers, but even employees in private firms and corporate offices are showing up with serious heart-related complications. This is not merely an occupational health issue its a lifestyle-related risk that is alarmingly similar across groups, Dr Ravindranath told TNIE. Dr Ravindranath had headed the state government-appointed committee that investigated the spate of sudden deaths due to suspected heart attacks in Hassan district during May and June this year. Fixing working hours is essential so people can invest time in their own health, he said, adding that environmental triggers like air pollution are now emerging as possible contributors and are under close scientific scrutiny. Citing the InterHeart study, Dr Ravindranath said these included abnormal blood lipids, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, abdominal obesity, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, alcohol use and psychosocial stress. As per the study, of all the nine factors, psychosocial stress emerged as a significant and often underestimated contributor, nearly tripling the risk of heart attacks. The study assessed stress from factors like work, home, financial pressure and major life events, showing that emotional wellbeing plays a major role in heart health. While traditional clinical focus was often on smoking and cholesterol, attention is now on emerging lifestyle-related risks like chronic stress and central obesity. Now even air pollution and other components are emerging as risk factors; we are studying the patterns currently, the director said.

Centre denies COVID-19 vaccine link to sudden deaths, attributes lifestyle, health conditions
NEW DELHI: The Centre on Wednesday denied any direct link between COVID-19 vaccination and reports of sudden deaths in the country, asserting instead that lifestyle and pre-existing health conditions were the key contributing factors. The governments clarification came a day after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah alleged that an increase in heart attack-related deaths in Hassan district could be due to the hasty approval and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to the public. Quoting extensive studies by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), the Union Health Ministry said the matter of sudden unexplained deaths has been thoroughly investigated by multiple agencies across India. These studies have conclusively established that there is no direct link between COVID-19 vaccination and the reports of sudden deaths in the country, the ministry said in a statement. Instead, the statement attributed such deaths to factors like lifestyle and pre-existing conditions. Studies by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) affirm that COVID-19 vaccines in India are safe and effective, with extremely rare instances of serious side effects. Sudden cardiac deaths can result from a wide range of factors, including genetics, lifestyle, pre-existing conditions, and post-COVID complications, the statement added. The ICMR and NCDC have collaborated to investigate the causes of sudden unexplained deaths, particularly among young adults aged between 18 and 45. To explore this, two complementary studies were undertaken using different research approaches, one based on retrospective data and another involving real-time investigation. The first study, conducted by ICMRs National Institute of Epidemiology (NIE), titled Factors associated with unexplained sudden deaths among adults aged 18-45 years in India A multicentric matched casecontrol study , was carried out from May to August 2023 across 47 tertiary care hospitals in 19 states and Union Territories. It examined cases of individuals who had appeared healthy but died suddenly between October 2021 and March 2023. The findings have conclusively shown that COVID-19 vaccination does not increase the risk of unexplained sudden death in young adults, the statement said. The second study, Establishing the cause in sudden unexplained deaths in young, is currently being conducted by AIIMS, New Delhi, with funding and collaboration from the ICMR. This is a prospective study aimed at determining the common causes of sudden deaths in young adults. Early analysis of data from the AIIMS study indicates that heart attacks, or myocardial infarction (MI), continue to be the leading cause of sudden death in this age group. Importantly, no significant changes in the pattern of causes have been observed when compared with previous years, the ministry added. In the majority of the unexplained death cases, genetic mutations have been identified as a possible cause of these deaths. The final results will be shared once the study is complete, it said. Together, these two studies offer a more comprehensive understanding of sudden unexplained deaths in young adults in India. It has also been revealed that COVID-19 vaccination does not appear to increase the risk, whereas the role of underlying health issues, genetic predisposition and risky lifestyle choices does play a role in unexplained sudden deaths, the ministrys statement concluded. The ministry further emphasised that scientific experts have reiterated that statements linking COVID vaccination to sudden deaths are false and misleading and not supported by scientific consensus. Speculative claims without conclusive evidence risk undermining public confidence in vaccines, which have played a crucial role in saving millions of lives during the pandemic. Such unfounded reports and claims could strongly contribute to vaccine hesitancy in the country, thereby adversely impacting public health, the ministry said. It added, The government of India remains committed to evidence-based public health research to protect the well-being of its citizens. In the past month, at least 20 people in Karnatakas Hassan district have reportedly died of heart attacksmany of them without any prior symptoms or known pre-existing conditions. The Karnataka Chief Minister has set a 10-day deadline for an expert panel to examine and submit its findings. In a lengthy post, he said, ...Orders were given to this same committee back in February to conduct a thorough study on the reasons behind sudden deaths among young people in the state, and whether the COVID vaccines could have any adverse effects. In this regard, the process of examining and analysing heart patients is also underway. He further posted on X, It cannot be denied that the hasty approval and distribution of the COVID vaccine to the public could also be a reason for these deaths, as several studies worldwide have recently indicated that COVID vaccines could be a cause for the increasing number of heart attacks.
