Karnataka: Eleven medical students suspended for creating offensive reels
Hubballi: A group of eleven medical students in Karnataka have been suspended by the Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) in Hubballi after they created offensive reels that demeaned nurses and shared them on social media platforms. The incident has stirred controversy and raised concerns about the treatment of healthcare professionals.
The offensive reels, which portrayed nurses in a derogatory and humiliating manner, were produced without obtaining consent from the nurses depicted. These videos featured the students mimicking a popular Kannada movie song titled ‘Nambeda Nambeda Nursegalanna Nambeda’, which translates to "Do not believe nurses," accompanied by music.
In response to the outcry, KIMS Principal Dr. Eshwar Hosamni promptly took action by suspending the students for a week. The move aims to address the issue and send a message against such behavior.

As the video rapidly gained traction online, nurses from KIMS voiced their outrage and demanded swift action against the students involved. Under pressure from the nursing community, the suspended students released a subsequent video in which they apologized to the nurses, stating that their intention was solely for entertainment purposes.
Nevertheless, the incident has ignited strong reactions among nurses across the state. Nurses at the Kolar district hospital staged a protest against the offensive content, while the state Association for Nurses submitted a letter to the director of KIMS, condemning the behavior of the medical students and urging appropriate actions to be taken against them.

Bangladesh's ousted PM Sheikh Hasina condemns arrest of Hindu spiritual leader, demands his release
Dhaka, Nov 28: Deposed prime minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina on Thursday condemned the arrest of Hindu spiritual leader Chinmoy Krishna Das and said the leader must be released immediately.
Das who was taken into custody earlier this week on sedition charges.
"A top leader of the Sanatan religious community has been unjustly arrested, he must be released immediately," Hasina said in a statement.
"A temple has been burnt in Chittagong. Previously, mosques, shrines, churches, monasteries and homes of the Ahmadiyya community were attacked, vandalised and looted and set on fire. Religious freedom and security of life and property of people of all communities should be ensured," the former prime minister said in the statement posted on Awami League's X account.
Hasina fled to India on August 5 following widespread protests against her Awami League-led government over a controversial job quota system. Three days later, Yunus, a Nobel laureate, took over as the Chief Adviser of the interim government.
Hindu minority groups have been frequently reporting atrocities against their community members in different parts of Bangladesh, even after Yunus took charge.
There are also reports of the rise of extremist groups like Jamaat-e-Islami and similar ideological extremist wings.
