CM Kumaraswamy extends helping hand to handless woman
Bengaluru: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Friday morning found a woman a handless woman near his residence at JP Nagar in the city. The chief minister spoke to her and provided her a job and disability pension.
It is a daily routine that hundreds of people with various requests come and stand in front of the Chief Minister’s residence in JP Nagar. But today morning a handless woman with a baby was found standing in front of the CM’s house. The chief ministers noticed her and asked, why have you come here? “My name is Shaila, and I have come from Davangere. My right hand was cut off in a lorry accident, but I learned to type by right hand, provide me a job,” the woman responded.
Then the Chief Minister asked her to come to Vidhana Soudha. CM Kumaraswamy received her at Vidhana Soudha at 11:30 am. Then he instructed the concerned departments to immediately provide her a typist job in Davanagere and disability pension.
Speaking at the occasion, CM Kumaraswamy said “government should have the mother's heart. With this, we can do a lot of work in the system itself. But to help people in the unorganized sector, we need to work by expanding our legal frameworks. My heart was moved to see her in such a pitiful state. There are hundreds of thousands of people like her. A separate arrangement has to be made for their employment.

Supreme Court takes suo motu cognizance of Karnataka HC Judge's controversial remarks, seeks report
New Delhi: The Supreme Court, on September 20, took suo motu cognizance of video clips containing controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda of the Karnataka High Court. A five-judge bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, Surya Kant, and Hrishikesh Roy, has ordered a report from the Karnataka High Court.
The decision follows two videos that surfaced on social media, showing Justice Srishananda referring to an area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and making objectionable comments toward a woman advocate during hearings. The Court directed the Registrar General of the Karnataka High Court to submit a report after consulting the Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court. The matter will be further examined on Monday.
Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasised the responsibility of judges in the age of social media, stating, "We are closely watched, and we have to act accordingly."
The comments have drawn widespread criticism, including from prominent lawyers, after the video went viral on social media.
