Sibling rivalry over prez post intensifies in DMK

 

The sibling rivalry in Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) intensified with the official wing of party deciding to go ahead with plan to elevate M K Stalin, son of M Karunanidhi, the 50- years-long president of the party who died recently, and the estranged elder brother M K Alagiri upped the ante of revolt to a new level declaring a rally of his loyalists in Chennai on 5 September.

It is almost ensured that the DMK is going to elevate Stalin in the party’s general council meeting, called by its general secretary K Anbazhagan, on 28 August.

Party general secretary has included election of president and treasurer, along with audit committee’s report in the agenda for the event to be held at DMK headquarters Anna Arivalayam. As a prelude to the election of Stalin as the party’s head, district units and various wings of DMK have passed resolutions to the effect that they accept his leadership.

Stalin’s elevation to the president’s post is quite natural as he has been functioning as the working president of the party ever since his father and five-time chief minister Karunanidhi’s failing health kept him out of active politics.

In the course of making his younger son, Stalin, his heir, Karunanidhi expelled Alagiri, his elder son from the party four years ago citing anti-party activities.

Though Alagiri was keeping a low in the public life for the past few years and never criticised party organ, immediately after the demise of Karunanidhi he came out in open to revolt against Stalin while visiting his father’s grave days after the cremation.

According to political observers and some of the veteran journalist’s opinion, Alagiri will continue to be a headache for Stalin as he is still holding good influence in south Tamil Nadu. His rally will be the first step of upping the ante of rebellion to a new level after he staked claim to his father’s mantle at his grave at the Marina on 13 August, especially one of its kind to be organised in Chennai.

“The permission to hold a rally from Anna Statue has been sought from police and we hope to get it in a day or two. More than 75,000 people are expected tp to turn up,” said Alagiri. Though Alagiri claims that he is not holding the rally to prove his popularity, it is evident from the fact that the venue chosen for the rally is a pointer to Stalin.

And according to sources close to DMK, some of the senior leaders of the party had in touch with Alagiri and the probability of a heightened fight among the siblings is gaining ground. If elected as president of the party, Stalin will only be the second president of DMK which was founded by late Dravidian Starwalt C N Annadurai in 1949.

The sources close to party revealed that the former minister and the party’s principal secretary Durai Murugan will be elevated to the coveted post of treasurer, a decision which was pointed out by political observers as the immediate cause of Alagiri’s rebellion.

Meanwhile, Senior leaders of the DMK are confident there would be absolutely no opposition to Stalin taking over the party reins. Some of them even believe that the BJP at the centre is creating problems in the party.

Some of the political observers also are of the opinion that the degradation of Dravidian movement in the state is necessary for the BJP or any other party to gain grounds.

India’s 3-point checklist for WhatsApp: Grievance mechanism, compliance with Indian laws, Indian entity


Union Law and Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad meets WhatsApp CEO Chris Daniels, suggests measures to curb spread of rumours and fake news on the messaging platform

WhatsApp should have a corporate entity in the country: Ravi Shankar

Union Law and Information-Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad suggested that popular cross-platform messaging service WhatsApp should have a corporate entity in the country.

Prasad, who held a meeting with WhatsApp CEO Chris Daniels earlier today in New Delhi, said that the two had a “productive meeting” during which they held talks on how to curb the spread of rumours and fake news on the messaging service which have lead to cases of mob lynchings and rioting in the country.

“I had a very productive meeting. I complimented him for extraordinary technological awakening that WhatsApp has led in the country, for education, healthcare, relief in Kerala. These are positive developments,” the Union minister told reporters after the meeting.

Making specific mention of mob lynching and revenge porn, the Union minister said that there is need to find solutions to the law and order challenges that India faces due to misuse of the service provided by the Facebook-owned company.

“There are also very sinister developments that provoke crime like mob lynching, revenge porn and you must find solutions to these challenges which are downright criminal violation of Indian laws,” he said.

Prasad said that he suggested three points.

“The first is that WhatsApp must have a grievance officer in India. The second is that WhatsApp must have a proper compliance of Indian laws,” he said adding that India won’t appreciate a “scenario where any problem will have to be answered in America”.

“The third is that WhatsApp must have a proper corporate entity located in India as it has become an important component of India’s digital storage,” said Prasad.

WhatsApp has been facing a major challenge in the form of fake news spreading rapidly on the platform.

Earlier in July, the company based in Mountain View, California, issued a full page advertisement in Indian newspapers listing 10 points for its users to go through to tackle misinformation.

The ad was issued about a week after the company wrote to the Indian government expressing horror at the acts of violence prompted by the spread of fake news.

The government had earlier told the company that it must find solutions to check the rampant abuse of the platform, warning of legal consequences in the absence of adequate checks.

On 20 July, WhatsApp began testing a new feature which limits the number of messages and media a user can forward. In India, WhatsApp is testing a lower limit — five chats at once — and also remove the quick forward button next to media messages.

According to reports, Daniels will be in India for 4-5 days and meet business and government officials during his visit.

HRD Ministry withdraws decision to conduct NEET twice a year, drops online-only plan


The decision follows recommendations from the Ministry of Health, which raised concerns about conducting the exam twice a year saying such an arrangement might put additional pressure on students.


The Union Ministry of Human Resource Development has withdrawn its decision taken a month ago to conduct the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) twice a year from 2019. It has also dropped its ambitious plan to hold the test only in online mode, according to officials.

NEET will be conducted on May 5, 2019, in pen-and-paper mode.

The decision follows recommendations from the Ministry of Health, which raised concerns about conducting the exam twice a year saying such an arrangement might put additional pressure on students.

The health ministry also voiced concern about the online mode saying students living in rural areas might suffer.

Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar had last year announced that the newly-formed National Testing Agency (NTA) would conduct the NEET for medical admissions, along with the Joint Entrance Examination-Main for admission to engineering colleges, twice a year.

He had also announced that all exams conducted by NTA would be computer-based.

The health ministry then wrote to the HRD airing its concerns.

“The change in the NEET exam pattern as against the statement earlier, which will now be a single exam in pen-and-paper mode and in the same number of languages as has been conducted last year, is on the request of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which wanted the same pattern followed last year to be maintained,” PTI quoted a senior HRD official as saying.

After a tentative schedule was released in July, the HRD Ministry made public the final schedule of the examinations to be conducted by NTA.

“NTA is also establishing a countrywide network of test practice centres (TPCs) for students of rural areas so that everyone will have an opportunity to practice before the exam. The TPCs will have a downloaded Computer Based Test (CBT) which will be similar to the actual test to be conducted on the exam day,” said the official.

He added: “The practice tests will help the candidates to familiarise themselves with logging into the system, going through the detailed instructions regarding the test, using the mouse or numeric keyboard on screen (virtual) for attempting each question, scrolling down to the next question, navigating between questions, reviewing and editing their options and submit questions.”
