‘Politics must have room for humanity,’ says Omar, wonders why govt has not met Sonam Wangchuk yet

Published by Parlour News

Politics must have room for compassion, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said, as he called out the Centre for not approaching activist Sonam Wangchuk, who has been on a hunger strike for 19 days. “The Education Minister should either resign or be removed from his post,” Omar Abdullah told reporters. (PTI) Abdullah noted that the activist has only one demand: the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. “The Education Minister should either resign or be removed from his post,” Abdullah told reporters here, throwing his lot with the Ladhakhi activist and scores of others on a protest at Jantar Mantar. He added, “The surprising thing is that it has been 18 days, perhaps the 19th day is going on. He has lost around 9 kgs, and it is affecting his health. But the government is not budging, not appealing to him in any way to stop his hunger strike. Politics has its place, but somewhere there should also be a place for humanity and compassion.” Also Read | What’s Rahul …

Warner Bros. on Monday released the first full trailer for Digger, a satirical black comedy directed by four-time Oscar winner Alejandro G. Inarritu, starring Tom Cruise in the lead role. In Digger, Cruise, known for decades of action roles and his long-running Mission: Impossible franchise, disappears beneath prosthetics, old-age makeup, a fake pot belly and thinning white hair styled into a bad combover to play Digger Rockwell, a reclusive Southern oil baron described as “the most powerful man in the world.” The film is billed as “a comedy of catastrophic proportions.” The trailer opens not with Digger itself but with a retrospective reel of Tom Cruise’s 46-year career, cutting through his Oscar-nominated performances in Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire and Magnolia before arriving at the new footage. In the film, Rockwell ignores a critical warning about one of his oil pipelines and sets off a global ecological disaster that threatens to spiral into nuclear conflict. John Goodman plays an ageing US President who orders Rockwell to fix what he has broken. “Digger …

ICE deports deaf child and family to Colombia without assistive devices: ‘Humanity should stop them from…’

Published by Parlour News

A six-year-old deaf boy and his family were deported to Colombia after being detained during a routine immigration check-in in San Francisco, reported The Guardian. The move has drawn criticism from California officials and immigration advocates who say the child was removed without the assistive devices he relies on to communicate. The deportation has prompted calls from Tony Thurmond, California’s superintendent of public instruction. (Reuters/ Representational) According to the Alameda County Immigration Legal and Education Partnership, the boy, his five-year-old brother and their mother, Lesly Rodriguez Gutierrez, were taken into custody Tuesday while reporting to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office under a supervision program that requires regular check-ins. The family was later deported to Colombia. Advocates say the six-year-old, who is deaf and uses a cochlear implant, was not given the assistive equipment needed to help him communicate. A relative waiting outside the building attempted to pass along the devices but was unable to do so before immigration authorities detained the family.
