‘Great insult to those who tried to oppress opposition parties’
Kumaraswamy reacts to five states election results
Belagavi, Dec 11: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that the results of elections in five states would be a referendum to the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
The verdicts given by the voters in the assembly elections of the five states were the clear symbol of moving towards secular parties. In a press statement, he said that those, who tried to oppress the opposition parties expecting single party administration across the country, have experienced the humiliating defeat. The result of the five states has paved way for a platform for all secular parties to face the elections together.
The efforts of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and AICC president Rahul Gandhi have got the success. He has to congratulate them. Rahul Gandhi and other leaders of secular parties should bring together like minded people, he said.

Jamia prof receives Rs 94 lakh grant to formulate AI-driven drug to treat breast cancer
New Delhi (PTI): An associate professor at Jamia Millia Islamia has been awarded a research grant of approximately Rs 94 lakh by the prestigious ICMR to support research in leveraging Artificial Intelligence for treatment of breast cancer.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has granted funding to Raza to develop cutting-edge tools for AI-guided drug design, focusing on optimising drug compounds, identifying therapeutic targets, and formulating novel treatment strategies for breast cancer, a statement by the varsity said on Friday.
One such promising drug compound 'DdpMPyPEPhU' already patented by Raza will be further explored under this initiative, the statement said.
This research will address critical challenges in breast cancer treatment and is expected to yield transformative outcomes that could impact healthcare practices globally, it added.
The three-year funding will facilitate advanced experimentation, foster collaboration with leading experts, and accelerate the development of innovative solutions for breast cancer treatment.
Jamia Vice-Chancellor Mazhar Asif and Registrar Md. Mahtab Alam Rizvi congratulated Raza on this accomplishment.
