PIL filed in HC against 60 media houses for videographing, harassing Hijab wearing students, teacher
Bengaluru: A public interest litigation (PIL) petition has been filed by Abdul Mansoor, Mohammed Khalil, and Asif Ahmed before the Karnataka High Court Against more than 60 media houses seeking orders to restrain media from chasing and video graphing Hijab-wearing students and teachers who are on their way to schools and colleges.
The plea stated that media establishments provoked by some vested interests are subjecting students to humiliation and disgrace by criminalizing their faith, belief, identity, culture, etc.
"Repeated attempts are being made to polarize, divide, and to communalize the student community by injecting the venom of hate, disrespect, and vengeance which ultimately culminates into violent actions and reactions,"
"Since one month, the cameramen and reporters are seen assembling in and around premises of government colleges and schools wherever the female children and teachers are proceeding to attend their classes, they were being chased, abusing, screaming, sloganeering, targeting, demeaning, compelling to uncloth themselves which are being photographed, videographed, and being printed and telecasted around 24/7 hours with the sole intention of belittling the democratic values and cherished principles of unity in diversity," the PIL stated.
Apart from the media houses, the plea has mentioned social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, messaging app WhatsApp, along with search engines Google, Yahoo, and Video posting platform YouTube as respondents.

US rules out use of nuclear weapons against Iran
Washington DC: The White House has reportedly ruled out the use of nuclear weapons against Iran, even as uncertainty continues over ongoing peace negotiations and a deadline set by US President Donald Trump approaches.
Issues bout a possible escalation had increased after US Vice President JD Vance said that the United States has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” in dealing with Iran.
His remarks came amid rising tensions and ahead of a deadline linked to peace efforts.
The situation has attracted attention as Trump warned Iran that its “whole civilization will die tonight tonight” if an agreement is not reached by Tuesday at 8 pm.
This statement led to speculation about the possibility of extreme military measures, including a nuclear strike.
Following Vance’s comments, the White House issued a clarification distancing itself from such interpretations. In a post on X, it said, "Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons." In a later statement, it added that “only the president knows” what action will be taken regarding Iran.
