00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>This is the catch upon three things by the Inn

2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Express and I'm i Chasharma. Today is the twentieth of August,

3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>and here today's headlines, starting with major news. The Center

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 1>today told the Supreme Court that it is reconsidering the

5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>controversial University Grants Commission regulations aimed at preventing KRS discrimination

6
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>in higher education institutions. The rules that have put the

7
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>government in a politically difficult position by drawing objections from

8
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>both upper cass groups and sections of Dullethan OBC communities.

9
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Solicitor General Tushar Mahka told a three judge bench preceded

10
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 1>over by Chief Justice of India Surikan that the regulations

11
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>are being reconsidered. The bench was hearing a clutch of

12
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:56.079
<v Speaker 1>petitions that primarily challenged the definition of cars based discrimination

13
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 1>in the UGC Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions

14
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Regulars of twenty twenty six, notified on thirteenth of January.

15
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 1>The regulation sought to strengthen institutional mechanisms to address discrimination

16
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>on campuses, including through equity committees. Meanwhile, last month, the

17
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 1>Junta Manda protests demanding a leak proof exam system ended

18
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.159
<v Speaker 1>with the medher Udhan resigning as the Union Education Minister,

19
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and an assurance by the Center and States that the

20
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>police will not pursue any case against the protesters. In

21
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.959
<v Speaker 1>sharp contrast, back in April, factory workers in Noida got

22
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>no such assurance despite a week long protest to demand

23
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>higher wages instead of police crackdown saw up to two

24
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>hundred people taken into custody, including two booked under the

25
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 1>stringent National Security Act, which allows detention without trial for

26
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 1>up to a year. On fourteenth of April, the Uta

27
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Pradesh government raised the wages, but it took the courts

28
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to grant relief to most of the jailed esters. The

29
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Nian Express investigated one hundred and six such arrests with

30
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>substantive allegations ranging from writing and arson to attempt to murder.

31
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.759
<v Speaker 1>The average period of protesters spent in custody was fifty

32
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>three days. These arrests led to two hundred and twenty

33
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 1>two bail orders linked to seven fi rs in other

34
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 1>major Yews. Former Congress Member of Parliament Sadjuhan Kumar, who

35
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 1>was sentenced to life imprisonment in a murder case linked

36
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>to the nineteen eighty four anti sik violence in Delhi

37
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.159
<v Speaker 1>has died. The eighty year old Kumar had been suffering

38
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>from multiple ailments. Kumar had been lodged in Tihar Jail

39
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>since twenty eighteen and he was brought to Sudarjyung Hospital

40
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>from the prison today and was declared dead at the hospital.

41
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 1>The Delhi High Court had sentenced Kumar to life imprisonment

42
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>in twenty eighteen in a case relating to the killing

43
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>of five six at Rajnaggar Part one in Palam Colony

44
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>on first and second of November nineteen eighty one and

45
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the burning down of a gurdwara in Rajnagar Part two. Meanwhile,

46
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court today formed a five member inquiry panel

47
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 1>led by Justice are Subhash Ready to probe the alleged

48
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>excessive and disproportionate use of force by the police and

49
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>other security personnel at Delhi Jhantarmantar and at other locations

50
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 1>across the country during last month's protests in the wake

51
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>of the neat Yuji question paper league. Besides Justice Ready,

52
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>a former Supreme Court judge, the other members of the

53
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 1>panel are former Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice

54
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.759
<v Speaker 1>rab Shankaja, former Delhi High Court Judge Justice Shalain Rakoor,

55
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 1>formered CBI Director Rishi Kumar Shukla and former Meghalia Director

56
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>General of POLIS L R. Bishnoi. Taking into consideration the

57
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>suggestions given by the petitioners and the respondents, a three

58
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>judge bench of Chief Justice of NGHA Surikant and Justices

59
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Joimalabakchi and V. Muhanna set out the issues that the

60
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 1>panel will examine and in the end in newsmaking global headlines,

61
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:11.439
<v Speaker 1>the US Citizenship and Immigration Services has issued new guidance

62
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 1>on how immigration officers will determine whether certain applicants for

63
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>lawful permanent residents are likely to become a public charge,

64
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>as the Trump administration replaces the Biden era framework with

65
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a broader case by case assessment. The new rule, finalized

66
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>by USCIS, comes into effect on eighteenth of September and

67
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>adheres to congressional intent that foreigners in the United States

68
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 1>be self sufficient and not dependent on taxpayer funded government benefits.

69
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 1>The change could effect Indian national supplying for US permanent

70
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 1>residency through categories subject to the public charge ground of admissibility.

71
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>And with that this was all for today. This was

72
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the catch upon three things by the Inn Express,
