Congress brings back A K Antony to restore unity in Kerala ahead of polls
KOTTAYAM: Looking to gather steam and contain the growing factional feud within the Congress ahead of back-to-back elections, the central leadership has brought back veteran A K Antony from retirement, and formed a 17-member core committee to ensure a collective leadership for the party in the state. The proposal to constitute the core committee was mooted around eight months ago. Originally intended to be a 11-member body, the committee has been expanded to accommodate the new state president, working presidents and UDF convener. The high command has also ensured woman representation by including Shanimol Usman, former AICC joint secretary. It is unsure whether Antony will participate in core committee meetings. Although a member of KPCC's political affairs committee, he seldom attends its meetings. The primary objective of the exercise is to quell internal discord ahead of the crucial local body and assembly elections, as the leadership is concerned about the lack of unity within the state unit. The recent KPCC revamp and appointments of the Youth Congress president and working president have exacerbated tensions, with seniors including V M Sudheeran, K Muraleedharan, Ramesh Chennithala and young leaders such as Chandy Oommen communicating their displeasure to the high command. There are reports of a chasm between KPCC president Sunny Joseph and Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan, with allegations that Sunny heavily relies on the working presidents. Some senior leaders are also unhappy with the excessive involvement of AICC general secretary K C Venugopal in the organisational affairs of the state unit. Rahul unhappy with internal squabbles in Cong It is learnt that Rahul Gandhi expressed strong dissatisfaction over the internal squabbles, particularly at a time when the party leaders are claiming that the anti-incumbency factor is prevalent in the state. Earlier, Rahul had suggested a collective leadership in an attempt to end the factional feud. There are also allegations that Venugopal delayed the formation of the core committee to ensure his supremacy in the state unit. The high command suggested the collective leadership to prevent one single leader from taking decisions unilaterally. However, a leader at the national level intervened to delay its implementation, said a senior Congress leader on condition of anonymity. With the core committee consisting of CWC members, current and former KPCC presidents and the Leader of Opposition, one leader alone is unlikely to get undue power in the party. 17-member core committee State Congress president Sunny Joseph, Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan, CWC members A K Antony, K C Venugopal, Ramesh Chennithala, Shashi Tharoor, Kodikunnil Suresh, former KPCC presidents K Sudhakaran, K Muraleedharan, V M Sudheeran, M M Hassan, Mullappally Ramachandran, working presidents A P Anil Kumar, P C Vishnunadh, Shafi Parambil, UDF convener Adoor Prakash and Shanimol Osman.

Deepa chides Satheesan for frequent absence from crucial party meetings
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The meeting convened by the Congress high command to oversee the crucial assembly election preparation in Kerala witnessed unprecedented scenes after the AICC general secretary in charge of the state openly criticised the Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan. Satheesan and KPCC president Sunny Joseph engaged in a blame game triggering heated exchanges between the two, forcing Rahul Gandhis intervention. The meeting held at Indira Bhavan in Delhi and chaired by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, was attended by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. The meeting was convened to review organisational status and election readiness in the state. After Kharge and Rahul individually met leaders, Sunny, Satheesan, K Muraleedharan, Ramesh Chennithala, M M Hassan, Kodikkunnil Suresh, Shashi Tharoor and the three working presidents, the high command convened a joint session of all leaders. During the session, Deepa Dasmunsi, AICC general secretary in charge of Kerala, launched a sharp criticism against Satheesan without naming him. She reportedly told the high command that a certain leaders (Satheesan) habit of skipping crucial meetings with excuses, had cost the organisation dearly. Her comments took state leaders by surprise. A disappointed Rahul Gandhi said that such behaviour is unacceptable and that all leaders must ensure their participation in party meetings, a leader present at the meeting told TNIE. Though no one defended Satheesan, he later alleged that he had been excluded from organisational decisions since the new leadership took charge. He pointed to the recently released list of KPCC office-bearers and claimed that he was not consulted before finalising it. I was not consulted while the new KPCC general secretaries and vice-presidents were appointed, Satheesan reportedly said. KPCC president Sunny Joseph rejected this allegation, telling the high command that he had contacted Satheesan two or three times before finalising the list. Adequate consultation was made with all sections, including senior leaders and former KPCC presidents alike, he said. Rahul Gandhi reminded Kerala leaders that the Congress traditionally does not announce the CM candidate before the assembly election. Priyanka Gandhi called for unity among leaders. In separate one-on- one meetings with Kharge and Rahul, several leaders complained about the overarching influence of the three working presidents- A P Anil Kumar, Shafi Parambil and P C Vishnunadh- in organisational matters. It was reportedly alleged that the trio was taking advantage of the new KPCC presidents inexperience to assert excessive control over party affairs. Taking note of the disunity within the state leadership, the AICC decided to form a core committee to oversee the organisational matters ahead of the assembly election. Unlike the existing jumbo committees, the new panel will be smaller and will include KPCC president, parliamentary party leader, working presidents and former KPCC presidents. Both Deepa Dasmunsi and Satheesan did not respond to queries.

In discussing ways to ensure the effective functioning of the Upper House, the Vice President dwelt upon various parliamentary principles that support the smooth running of the House during a session, with the support of all parties for the successful transaction of business. He also urged the Rajya Sabha floor leaders of all parties to make full use of available instruments such as Zero Hour, Special Mentions, and Question Hour to raise issues of public concern and importance. Above all, we are for the people and their concerns to discuss and decide, the Vice President was reported to have remarked during his meeting with the leaders.

Experts say early genetic tests help to choose healthy lifestyle, control diseases
BENGALURU: Gone are the days when a heart attack or cancer were associated with stress, unhealthy lifestyle and bad eating habits. Genetics always played an underlying role, and medical experts point out that early testing of ones genetic pattern will now be beneficial in choosing the right and healthy lifestyle to control diseases at the right time. And age is no factor in this. I always knew that Type-2 diabetes is genetic, and there was no such case in my house. My parents are not diabetic. I love my sweets. However, over time, I started repeatedly falling ill. I used to get tired at college and work. My workouts were also becoming strenuous. I started undergoing multiple tests and treatments for my deteriorating health. Doctors advised me to get a genetic test done after I complained of severe pain in my back. I suffered a mild heart attack, said Prajesh (name changed), a 25-year-old software professional in Gurugram. His genetic tests revealed that he carried a strain of Type-1 diabetes, which is rare. Discussions during treatment revealed that his grandparents had a history of diabetes, and his parents were carriers of the strain. He is now undergoing treatment with a doctor at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. Another similar case was cited by Dr Nitin Kapoor, Professor and Head (Unit-1) Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metobolism, Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore. He said that during his course of treatment of a patient suffering from thyroid cancer, he learnt that the family had reported a cancer case earlier too. The patient had a one-year-old child. Wasting no time, a genetic test was done on the child and cancer cells were found. Thus, an immediate operation was done to address the issue. It was better than waiting till it developed. The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) in its 2023 report on non-communicable diseases noted that heart ailments and diabetes cases have been on the rise for a decade. The recent cases of multiple incidents of heart attacks among people of different age groups in Hassan, Karnataka, has also raised concerns among experts, pointing to the need for genetic testing. Dr RV Asokan, Immediate Past President of the Indian Medical Association, said genetic study and customised treatment based on a persons gene type is the future of Indian medicine. We are looking at customizing treatments, against the present one-size-fits-all. Focussed treatment is the need of the hour, and over time, medical professionals have also realised it. But for this, the genetic report of patients is needed. Not many are doing it because of a lack of awareness. It is an emerging area, he said, cautioning that not everyone needs genetic analysis and it should not be exploited. Dr Priya Ranagathan, medical geneticist, Apollo Hospital, said, genetic study is a gradually growing field. Awareness and need for testing genetics is rising, especially among cardiologists and endocrinologists. In case of heart ailments, it is needed, as cases are on the rise. Dr Ramesh Menon, Associate Director, Genomic Medicine and Personal Genomics Division, Bioinformatics Department, at MedGenome - a lab offering genetic testing across India - said they get over 500 samples annually. Genetic testing is presently being done for coronary heart diseases, diabetes, obesity, high Body Mass Index (BMI), Parkinson's, Alzheimers and age-related eye disease. With changing trends, genetic testing for heart diseases has advanced. But awareness among clinicians advising patients to take up the tests has not. Dr Menon said there are instances where people show no symptoms and suddenly suffer a heart attack or a mild stroke. This is because of a family history. Thus, just like people undergo annual health check-ups or tests for health insurance or jobs, they can undergo a genetic test, which is done only once for the entire lifetime. It helps in understanding, and early diagnosis and deciding the right course of treatment. He added, interestingly, during a series of genetic tests for a study, it was found that there is a 70 per cent rise in cases of Parkinson's. Such data helps state and Union health departments in chalking out medical policies. He also pointed to the historical data and study reports which show that people in south Asian regions- India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, are genetically more prone to heart ailments because of the MYBPC-3 gene which plays a role in the making of the protein called cardiac myosin-binding protein-C, which regulates heart muscle contraction. People in olden days carried the gene, but didnt suffer ailments because of an active lifestyle and healthy eating habits. Now, with poor eating habits and improper lifestyle, more cases are being reported. Improper sleeping patterns, sitting for long hours, smoking, drinking, and stress are just the trigger points. Dr Manohar KN, Lead Consultant, physician and diabetologist, Sparsh Hospital, said, Genetics play an underlying role. It is simple if genetics loads the gun, then lifestyle pulls the trigger. Thus, people should concentrate on improving their lifestyle by early testing and having healthy activities, for nothing can be done about the genes. Dr Vedam Ramprasad, CEO MedGenome, said that gradually awareness is increasing. Earlier, it was only for rare diseases, but now it is being tested for common diseases also. But not as much as it is the US, and other Western countries. It is now mandatory in some countries like Abu Dabi and other Middle East countries. In India, the mindset of people, economics and other factors play a role. People simply think about what the need is. Interestingly, with rising IVF treatments, a rise in genetic testing is being noted. However, the ethics of this is still debated in the medical fraternity. While genetic analysis to ascertain underlying diseases like down syndrome or other health markers is good, screening for good embryos is not. Explaining the need, Dr Animesh Maiti, Head of Department, Endocrinology, Government Medical College, Kolkotta, added that genetics playing a role in diabetes in Type-2 diabetes is globally known. It is only now that cases in Type-1 diabetes are being reported and many are in Finland. Gene therapy, which is on the rise in other countries, needs to pick up in India. The facilities for testing are also rising gradually. Like private labs, hospitals too have started their in-house genetic testing centres. The cost of testing has also reduced from earlier. It has gone down from Rs 15,000-30,000 to Rs 7,000-10,000 depending upon the type of test. But government hospitals are yet to start it. Government doctors refer patients to private labs, which adds to their cost of treatment. Dieticians have also started taking note of the need for genetic testing. A lead sports dietician, not wanting to be identified, said, Genetics studies also help in choosing the right type of diet not just for patients during and after treatment, but also on a daily basis. Like allergy tests are done before surgeries, genetic tests before treatment can tell the type of medicines person can be prescribed, the type of food a person can eat and the diet that needs to be maintained, especially for diabetics and heart patients, instead of just saying reduce or no sugar or the sports they can play. But clinicians still need to understand this.

At midnight, he was taken to Government Medical College Kathua, where his medical check-up was conducted. After the check up, police then shifted him to District Kathua jail and lodged him there. Some of his supporters were present near the district jail Kathua and chanted slogans like, Lok Tantra Ki Hatya Bandh Karo (stop killing democracy). The authorities have suspended internet services in many parts of the Doda district on Tuesday. The AAP has called for protests against the MLAs arrest and authorities have deployed police and paramilitary personnel in strength in some sensitive areas. The MLAs supporters had also held protests at some places in the district yesterday after his detention and booking under PSA. Mehraj is the first sitting MLA in J&K to be booked under stringent PSA that allows detention upto two year without charge or trial. According to PSA order issued by District Magistrate Doda Harvinder Singh, invoking PSA against the MLA has been taken after due consideration of all relevant materials, reports, and circumstances that clearly establish that the continuance of such activities by the MLA posed a great threat to peace, public order and tranquillity in the district. Since Mehraj is an MLA, DC Doda had informed J&K Legislative Assembly Speaker about booking of the MLA under PSA. According to DC, the preventive detention under the PSA was found necessary in the interest of maintaining public order and safeguarding law and order in the region. The firebrand AAP MLA, who had earlier extended support to Omar Abdullah in government formation but in June this year withdrew support to the government, had been pressing the Deputy Commissioner Doda for shifting the primary health to a centrally located place. He had allegedly used abusive language against the DC for not shifting the health centre from its present location. The DC had claimed that the MLA wanted the administration to allow the sub-centre to function in a building built by one of his supporters on state land and pay him monthly rent. After the incident, administration had registered FIR against him and five of his supporters About 18 FIRs have been registered against Malik, who has courted controversies with his statements and abusive language. The arrest of Mehraj and booking him under PSA has drawn strong criticism from political leaders in J&K. There is no justification for detaining Mehraj Malik under PSA. Hes not a threat to public safety & using this discredited law to detain him is wrong. If the unelected government can use its powers against an elected representative like this then how does anyone expect the people of J&K to continue to have faith in democracy, J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah posted on X.

Mehraj Malik is the lion of Aam Aadmi Party. He will always remain the voice of the people, fighting for their rights. Jail, threats, and conspiracies... none of these can ever scare any soldier of AAP. MLA ? , AAP https://t.co/7mzqQ0Pfhp Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) September 8, 2025 J&K Congress leader Ghulam Ahmed Mir while condemning unjust detention of MLA Mehraj under PSA said, This undemocratic act undermines the will of the people & erodes faith in our institutions. I demand his immediate release & call for united opposition to such authoritarianism. PDP MLA Rafiq Ahmed Naik described the imposition of PSA on elected representative as a brazen attack on the very spirit of democracy. Using draconian laws against an elected leader sets a dangerous and alarming precedent. In a true democracy, dissent must be confronted with dialogue and debate, not criminalised and suppressed, he said. Peoples Conference president and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone said the will of the people of J&K continues to be subservient. What is the purpose of holding elections if an elected representative is denied the right to express his sentiments. This is a soulless democracy, Lone said and warned such measures only deepen the crisis of credibility facing the democratic institutions in the region. Former Minister and J&K Apni Party leader Ghulam Hassan Mir said, If the MLA had committed any offence, he should have been charged under the appropriate laws. There was no need to impose such a harsh law, under which he could be kept in jail without trial.
