As Manmohan Singh was laid to rest, debate broke regarding the former PM's memorial. Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC commented on the issue of allocating a separate memorial for former PM Manmohan Singh and called it a controversy engineered by the Congress for media attention. "The question raised by Congress is sheer controversy-driven. Let them be reminded that they never built a memorial for former PM Narasimha Rao who was a leader of their party. Why build a controversy out of nothing? The Congress party should move beyond unnecessary politics and media limelight." President Droupadi Murmu attended the last rites of ex-PM Manmohan Singh at Delhi's Nigambodh Ghat, and lays a wreath on his mortal remains. AAP's Saurabh Bharadwaj says cremation at Nigambodh Ghat 'a shame' AAP leader and minister Saurabh Bharadwaj has said that the former PM's cremation taking place at Nigambodh Ghat was a 'shame'. "I was stunned that a former PM's cremation was happening in Nigambodh Ghat. It's a shame. The central government has stooped so low that they couldn't give space to a former PM for cremation. What was the point of this memorial? The entire nation is hurt by this," he said. Shashi Tharoor remembers former PM "It is moving to be here at Nigambodh Ghat for the funeral of former PM Manmohan Singh. I have known him for a very long time. I have also served the government when he was the PM. I have the highest admiration for him. He has left a great legacy behind and has been a transformational PM... He has achieved so much for the nation that we should never forget what Dr Manmohan Singh has done for the nation," Congress leader Shashi Tharoor tells PTI.

The future of a social media ban has become less clear as opposition politicians defy their leader's position and make their concerns known. or signup to continue reading A federal government proposal to ban children under 16 from accessing social media platforms like Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram is expected to be debated in Parliament on Tuesday. Though the world-leading proposal has received bipartisan support, and strong backing specifically from Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, there is some dissent within coalition ranks. "This is a test for Peter Dutton, about his leadership," cabinet minister Amanda Rishworth told the Today Show. Nationals politicians have expressed worries over privacy issues relating to age verification with Senator Matt Canavan noting this would affect all social media users. "You're going to have to verify everyone's age and so there's huge privacy and free speech implications," he told ABC radio. The bill doesn't require social media companies to destroy information, according to Senator Canavan, and the way users provide digital consent is often a rushed process, which breeds concerns about the way people hand over their information. There are also serious questions about whether the change will keep children off social media. "Despite the good intentions behind this bill, it may be completely ineffective or worse," Senator Canavan said. "If we make clumsy hurdles for social media use, my eight-year-old will be able to get around them, but your 80-year-old grandma won't." Fellow Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie added that the use of digital ID was worrying to some, though the government had ruled out its use in age assurance. The coalition has said it would reserve its final decision on the bill until answers had been received from the government, though concerns have arisen over the legislation's rushed consultation process. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland introduced the reform to parliament on Thursday, which she said would make the online environment better for young people. The consultation period for groups and individuals to make submissions closed a day later on Friday. A senate committee on Monday held a one-day hearing and is due to report back on Tuesday. In submissions to the inquiry, a number of groups, including social media companies, pointed to the short notice period. Snap Inc, which runs Snapchat, wrote the "the extremely compressed timeline" had allowed stakeholders little more than 24 hours to provide a response which "severely" constrained thorough analysis and informed debate. X, formerly Twitter, also criticised the "unreasonably short time-frame of one day". Meta, which owns Facebook, wrote there had been "minimal consultation or engagement" and urged the government to wait for the results of the age assurance trial before progressing with the legislation. TikTok said despite the "time-limited review" there were a range of "serious, unresolved problems" that the government must clarify to ensure there wouldn't be unintended consequences. Given the widespread support for the ban, Senator Canavan insists there is no need to rush analysis. The Greens and some independents have opposed the ban and called on the government to address social media harms through other paths like implementing a statutory duty of care on tech giants. "The problem with a ban is that you're basically letting the platforms off the hook," independent MP Zoe Daniel told ABC. "We need to get the platforms to take responsibility for what is in their environment." Advertisement Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date. We care about the protection of your data.

A late-game rally derailed by a missed field goal and Cowboys stun Commanders 34-26

The axed AmaZulu traditional prime minister, Thulasizwe Buthelezi, says he doesn’t know anything about his removal from the position and will wait for King Misuzulu kaZwelithini to inform him directly. Buthelezi hosted a media briefing on Saturday morning after there were media reports that the Zulu King had fired him from his position. In a letter to the Zulu nation and all citizens, which The Citizen has seen, the monarch revealed the removal of the traditional prime minister, who is also KwaZulu-Natal Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) MEC. Buthelezi dismisses as Zulu prime minister “Reasons for the withdrawal are to be shared with traditional leaders and the nation in due course, as all are still observing uMkhosi until the end of January 2025,” the king said in the letter. Buthelezi said he discovered his axing on social media and expressed shock that such an announcement was made in such an informal manner.

According to the MEC, there has been no quarrel between him and the King. ‘I will continue to serve him’ Buthelezi has served for about 11 months as prime minister, and he said the King had not expressed displeasure or disapproval in his actions or statements. “I have served the king from the first day that he assumed his position as King of the Zulu Nation and will continue to serve him, and I will serve His Majesty as an ordinary subject if it is his wish that he releases me from being prime minister,” he said.
