Karur stampede: Actor Vijay’s TVK has approached the Supreme Court to request an independent investigation into the tragedy that occurred on September 27
On Friday, the Supreme Court is expected to consider a request from Tamil actor Joseph Vijay’s political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), challenging the Madras High Court’s order to establish a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the Karur stampede on September 27 that resulted in 41 fatalities.The plea argued that the high court, despite making an observation that raised doubts about the independence of the police investigation, ordered the formation of a Special Investigation Team consisting exclusively of three senior officers from the Tamil Nadu Police. It noted that the order appointing a Special Investigation Team (SIT) consisting exclusively of state police officers prejudices the petitioner-party and its leader, even though the high court has voiced dissatisfaction with the independence and actions of the state police.G.S. Mani, a Tamil Nadu BJP leader and vice president of the state legal cell, has submitted a petition to the Supreme Court requesting a CBI investigation into the stampede in Karur during a rally organized by actor Vijay's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), on September 27, which resulted in 41 fatalities. He has requested an inquiry to be conducted by either the CBI or an independent Special Investigation Team led by a retired or current Supreme Court judge.Mani, a practising advocate, has contested the Madras High Court's October 3 ruling that dismissed several PILs demanding a CBI investigation. This includes his own writ petition requesting the transfer of the investigation from State police to the CBI and seeking adequate compensation.

India 'will do what's right' on illegal immigration, according to Trump
After speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the phone, US President Donald Trump declared that India "will do what's right" when it comes to the expulsion of illegal migrants.The leaders' first meeting since Trump's inauguration last week took place on Monday.They had what the White House called a "productive call" where they talked about trade, immigration, and security problems.Following the chat, Trump informed reporters that Modi would probably come to the US "sometime in February".Trump has issued several executive orders pertaining to immigration since taking office on January 20, opening the door for a broad campaign to target unauthorized immigrants in the US. The Pew Research Center estimates that as of 2024, there would be 725,000 undocumented Indian immigrants in the United States. India's foreign ministry stated last week that Delhi would accept Indians who were overstaying "anywhere in the world" provided their nationality was confirmed and their documents were submitted.According to the ministry, Trump and Modi talked about the bilateral relationship "including in the areas of technology, trade, investment, energy, and defense" during their phone conversation on Monday. The two presidents also talked about European, Middle Eastern, and Indo-Pacific security. Trump emphasized the significance of India expanding its purchases of US-made security equipment and pursuing a "fair" bilateral commercial relationship, according to a White House statement. Modi referred to Trump as a "dear friend" and stated that they were "committed to a mutually beneficial and trusted partnership" in a post on X (previously Twitter). According to the White House, both leaders reaffirmed their dedication to strengthening the Indo-Pacific Quad alliance, which also includes Australia and Japan, as well as their nations' strategic partnership. Later this year, India will host the Quad leaders for the first time. Between 2017 until 2021, when the US president was in his first term, Modi and Trump had friendly relations. However, the Trump administration and India were engaged in a sour tariff war that had an impact on companies on both sides. India's foreign minister, S Jaishankar, stated in November after Trump's election victory that the nation was not anxious about collaborating with the US president.Last year, Trump referred to Modi as a "great leader" but also charged that India was imposing exorbitant tariffs. It would be intriguing to see if the two countries' camaraderie can allay worries about immigration and commerce, according to analysts.

Medalists at the Paralympics earn hundreds of thousands of dollars less than those at the Olympics.
Many of us will be looking for a healthy bonus to assist us start the new year as 2024 comes to an end. The same is true for elite athletes.In recognition of their athletic accomplishments, numerous gold medalists from this year's Olympics in Paris will be receiving enormous bonuses and presents. But according to a CNN Sport study, many of their Paralympic counterparts are receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars less in compensation.Numerous nations have distinct National Olympic and Paralympic committees (NOCs and NPCs, respectively) and governing organizations that run their individual sports in ways that differ from those of other nations. For instance, Australia has two organizations—the Australian Olympic Committee and Paralympics Australia—while the United States has just one, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC). In a similar vein, World Athletics and World Para Athletics are separate organizations that oversee track and field for the physically fit and paralyzed, respectively. As he and Elena Congost near the finish line of the women's T12 marathon, Mia Carol falters.Numerous NOCs and NPCs get funding from both public and private sources, including sponsorship and rights like Spain's. Some, like China or Great Britain, get most of their funding from the government in addition to other sources (such a national lottery). Others, like the USOPC, are nonprofit organizations that rely on private investment and the kindness of the nation's citizens (e.g. the USOPC's direct fan donation scheme) and do not receive any government money. When possible, CNN obtained information from credible local reporting and contacted Olympic and Paralympic officials from each of the countries participating at this year's Games in Paris. Some countries, such as Great Britain, forbid or do not let competitors to receive awards. Only 23 countries including Taiwan gave their Paralympic champions bonuses this big, while at least 42 nations gave gold medalists over $100,000 following the Paris Olympics. Sarah Storey, Great Britain's most successful Paralympic athlete, told CNN Sport, "Looking across the world, it is very disappointing that nations place such a varying importance on the funding of their athletes and that the profile and opportunity for para-athletes is often overlooked."
