Comedian Kunal Kamra is back in the headlines after releasing a claimed video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s conversation with a toddler in Germany on Twitter, where the boy substituted a patriotic song (‘Hey Janmabhoomi Bharat’) with one about inflation (‘Mehengayi daayan khaaye jaat hain’).

There was outrage from certain quarters, as well as a remark from the father of the seven-year-old youngster. The National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has taken action against the comedian and requested that the video be removed from social media sites immediately.

The leading child rights organization responded to Twitter’s complaint officer, saying it had received a report about Kamra posting a “doctored” video of a youngster performing a patriotic song to promote his own political objectives.

After a three-year sabbatical, Jet Airways took to the air again on Thursday. After experiencing financial difficulties, the airline ceased operations in April 2019. This was a demonstration flight, which is necessary to ensure the aircraft’s security.

“Jet Airways flew again today, May 5, our 29th birthday! It’s an emotional day for those of us who have been waiting, working, and hoping for this day, as well as Jet’s devoted customers who can’t wait for the airline to resume operations,” according to Jet Airways.

Sanjiv Kapoor, who formerly held key positions at Vistara and Spicejet, was chosen as the new CEO of Jalan Kalrock Consortium earlier this month (CEO).

Prime Minister Narendra Modi encouraged Opposition-ruled states to decrease VAT and cooperate “in the spirit of cooperative federalism” in this “time of global crisis,” citing high fuel prices in states that did not follow the Centre’s request to lower VAT on gasoline and diesel. These states, he claimed, were doing them an “injustice” and injuring nearby states by not handing on advantages to the citizens.

The Prime Minister stated that a proposal to cut VAT was made in November, but states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Jharkhand “for some reason” did not comply.

The Supreme Court on Monday took a pessimistic perspective on parents’ concerns about schooling, ruling that children should not be put to school at an early age for their psychological well-being. The bench was considering an appeal from a group of parents who were contesting the Kendriya Vidyalaya’s six-year minimum age requirement for admission to Class 1 for the coming academic year.

“There seems to be a rush to get kids into school. Parents prefer to begin as soon as their children reach the age of two years. This may not be good for their mental health,” a bench of justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and MM Sundresh said.
