Kamataka's legislators came together across party lines today to reject a motion seeking that they reconsider the punishment of a year each in jail handed by the state assembly to two editors of Kannada tabloids for breach of privilege. The assembly had sentenced the editors to the jail term and had fined them Rs. 10,000 each in June this year, over what it called their defamatory articles against state legislators.The assembly rejected the resolution to reconsider the punishment and fine on Ravi Belagere, Editor of 'Hi Bangalore', and Anil Raju, Editor of 'Yelahanka Voice,' by a voice vote. Only three MLAs reportedly argued that the punishment to be reviewed. Some suggested that it should be doubled. The June resolution that punished the journalists based on the recommendations of the Privileges Committee of the House, had led to widespread protests from the media. The Editors' Guild of India called it "gross misuse" of power which "violates" the fundamental right of freedom of speech.Mr Belagere and Mr Raju had petitioned the High Court against the sentence, contending that it was "illegal and unconstitutional." The court had disposed the petitions, advising the Editors to find "an amicable solution." The journalists then met Karnataka's Speaker KB Kolivad and sought that the punishment should be reconsidered, making arguments and representations through lawyers. The Speaker had placed their petition before the House today.The motion was moved by the state's law minister TB Jayachandra. The BJP's SR Vishwanath, who had complained against Anil Raju for allegedly writing defamatory articles against him, spoke first, saying the Editors' plea to reconsider the sentence must be rejected outright."Despite privilege being moved against him, he (Raju) continued to write against me.

They should have been punished by now.lnstead their punishment should be increased," the BJP legislator said. MLAs from rival parties supported Mr Vishwanath, among them SR Mahesh of the Janata Dala Secular and Ashok Pattan, GS Srinivas, Vijayananad Kashappanavar and Lobo of the ruling Congress. Mr Pattan said the petition should not even have been brought to the House.However, the BJP's Suresh Kumar sounded a word of caution. "There are some opinions. Whether it comes under the ambit of privilege, we don't know. We should act cautiously, because this may go to the court tomorrow," he said. YSV Datta of the JDS said he agreed with Mr Kumar.Intervening. Health Minister Ramesh Kumar said that by questioning the merits of the privilege committee decision,the Editor's, in their reconsideration plea, have questioned the wisdom of the members. "Looking at it, it deserves to be rejected. They should have instead pleaded for mercy without going into the merits," he said.

Question

Which of the following words is nearly opposite in meaning to the word 'widespread'?

Option 1: Concentrated
 

Option 2: Gather
 

Option 3: Collect
 

Option 4: Withhold

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Concentrated
 


Solution : The correct answer is option 1.

Explanation

The term "widespread" refers to "found over a large area or number of people." As a result, the opposite of this word must refer to something that is not scattered. As a result, the correct word is 'concentrated.' It means to 'assemble (people or things) in a common location.' The reason we can't use the other words is that gathering or collecting refers to the act of gathering together. However, concentrated refers to the outcome of gathering and storing something in one location.

how can I prepare for clat UG if I am in class 12 PCB in 2024

Mahak Yadav 16th Dec, 2024

To prepare for the CLAT UG exam while being in Class 12 with a PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) background, you should focus on developing your skills in areas outside your regular curriculum, as the CLAT syllabus includes subjects like English Language , Current Affairs and General Knowledge (GK) , Legal Reasoning , Logical Reasoning , and Quantitative Techniques . Start by enhancing your English proficiency through regular reading of newspapers such as The Hindu for current affairs and general knowledge, while improving grammar with books like Wren & Martin and vocabulary with Word Power Made Easy . Since you already have a scientific mindset, focus on strengthening your Logical Reasoning skills using books like R.S. Aggarwal’s "A Modern Approach to Logical Reasoning" and practice puzzles and analytical reasoning . For Legal Reasoning , familiarize yourself with basic legal concepts, such as contracts and constitutional law, through resources like "Legal Aptitude for CLAT" by A.P. Bhardwaj . Given your background in science, you’ll likely find the Quantitative Techniques section more approachable, so continue practicing basic arithmetic , percentages , and data interpretation through resources like R.S. Aggarwal’s Quantitative Aptitude . Additionally, staying updated with current affairs through apps like GK Today or LegalEdge is essential, and refer to Manorama Yearbook for static GK. Most importantly, practice regularly with mock tests and previous years’ CLAT papers to build speed, accuracy, and familiarity with the exam format. Balancing CLAT preparation with 12th board studies requires a disciplined approach, so create a well-structured study schedule to manage both effectively. By strategically focusing on these areas, you can perform well in the CLAT UG exam and make the most of your scientific background.

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The error is in the fourth option.

The correct phrase is "hearing these strange noises above." which describes the action of hearing strange noises. The use of the demonstrative pronoun "these" indicates that there were numerous noises, and thus the plural form "noises" should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Hearing these strange noises above, the thought at once occurred to me that thieves had entered the house."

I am Student of class 12 with physics , chemistry , biology , english and physical education as main subjects. Math is my 6th (additional subject) . Now my question is can I give jee mains with math as 6th subject and can I also take admission in engineering college.

Ishita 20th Jul, 2024

Hello Aspirant

Admission into an Engineering college requires you to have Science (Physics, Chemistry, Math, Biology is not required) in your 11th and 12th grades. Seeing you had all these subjects in your school, you are eligible to appear for the JEE exam. You just make sure you scored 50%+ in your 12th grade, that is one of the eligibility criteria.  They don't mind that Math was your 5th or 6th subject, they just need Math in your core papers.

Getting admission to a good Engineering college depends on the score you get in the JEE Mains and JEE Advance exams.

Here is a link to the Careers360 College predictor that will help you narrow down your choices- https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor

Option 1: Only conclusion III follows

Option 2: Only conclusion I follows

Option 3: Only conclusion II follows

Option 4: All conclusions follow

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Only conclusion III follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion I: Some bedsheets are doormats – From the above diagram, it can be seen that there is no direct relation between bedsheets and doormats. Therefore, this conclusion is false.
Conclusion II: Some bedsheets are curtains – From the above diagram, it can be seen that there is no direct relation between bedsheets and curtains. Therefore, this conclusion is false
Conclusion III: Some pillows are doormats – From the above diagram, it can be seen that there is a direct relation between pillows and doormats, and as mentioned in the statement some doormats are pillows, so opposites also apply. Therefore, this conclusion is true.

So, only conclusion III follows. Hence, the first option is correct.

Rajib 19th Jan, 2024

Which board and how many grace marks did u got? If you're aggregate pcb is more than 50% then you're eligible don't worry about the grace mark that is given my every board in India except cbse and it is acceptable, reappearing 12th again will make you a private candidate,NMC doesn't want private candidate to appear for neet, every year this case gets hold on supreme court,so it's better if you don't give improvement exam if you already have pcb  50% combination
