Kejriwal’s motive is not to serve the public, but to hide the corruption of the multi-crore bungalow: Shah

Posted on August 4, 2023 by City Today News (City today.media)

On the initiative of Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2023 was passed in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Amit Shah once again demonstrated that where there is ‘Shah’, there is a way, showcasing his unbeatable logic.
Initiating the debate in the Lok Sabha, Amit Shah said, ‘The Legislative Assembly was started in Delhi in 1993.
Since then, there has been a BJP government in Delhi and Congress at the Center and sometimes a Congress government in Delhi and a BJP government at the Centre. Till date both the parties have ruled on this issue without any confrontation.

But when Kejriwal’s government was formed in the year 2015, the problem started. The motive of AAP is not to serve the public, but to hide the corruption of the Delhi government by opposing this bill.

The opposition of the rest of the opposition parties is also just to save the alliance. No matter how many alliances the opposition forms, it is certain that Modi ji will become the Prime Minister in 2024.

The opposition parties began opposing the Delhi Government (Amendment) Bill, 2023, as it was introduced in the Lok Sabha by senior BJP leader Amit Shah.

While the passage of this bill is unlikely to affect any party except the AAP, the opposition’s protest was solely aimed at safeguarding the Alliance.

Given the already weak foundation of the Grand Alliance, it is certain that Kejriwal will exit the alliance promptly once the Bill is passed.

Shah is firmly of the belief that the leaders in the house who accused him of acting against the Supreme Court’s decision may not have read the court’s complete judgment. The court explicitly stated that under Article 239A, the Parliament holds full authority to enact laws pertaining to Delhi on any matter.

In his distinctive manner, Amit Shah narrated the history of Delhi’s formation, highlighting that in 1911, the British created Mehrauli and Delhi tehsils independently from Punjab. Subsequently, the Siddaramaiah Committee called for Delhi to be granted full statehood, which faced opposition from Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel, Rajendra Prasad, and Ambedkar.

Shah’s emphatic support for the Delhi Services Bill throughout the debate leaves no doubt that the dispute revolves not only around the transfer and posting rights of officers but also centers on the handling of the bungalow and taking charge of vigilance. It is an attempt to conceal expenses and evade responsibility in the liquor scam.

Research Grants Endowed with €240,000

Posted on August 4, 2023 by City Today News (City today.media)

DKMS supports Promising young scientists in advancing blood cancer therapy

August 3, 2023 – On August 1, 2023, the application period for the DKMS John Hansen Research Grant 2024 began. The DKMS Stiftung Leben Spenden supports up to four outstanding research projects in the field of stem cell transplantation or cell therapy each year. The grant is aimed at young scientists who have obtained a doctoral degree (PhD, MD or equivalent achievements) no more than 10 years ago. The grant amounts to €240,000 each and will be paid out over a period of three years. The application deadline is November 30, 2023.
DKMS is primarily known as the world’s largest stem cell donor center, with more than 11.5 million registered potential stem cell donors. However, the non-profit organization is also deeply involved in the medical and scientific field. “Every year, more than 1.2 million people around the world are diagnosed with blood cancer and, though a stem cell transplant can save the lives of many of them, not all patients are permanently cured afterwards,” explains Professor Dr. Marcel van den Brink, Chairman of the DKMS Medical Council. “Still, relapses and severe complications, most notably graft-versus-host disease, pose major challenges to medicine and science. We want to contribute to the continuous improvement of stem cell transplantation and other cellular therapies.” To this end, DKMS runs its own research projects and is committed to ensuring excellent research for the future. “It is a matter close to our heart and the DKMS John Hansen Research Grant enables talented young scientists to work on their promising projects for the benefit of patients worldwide.”
All information on the application modalities, as well as further details on the John Hansen Research Grant, are available on the DKMS Professionals’ Platform. If you have any questions, interested parties are also welcome to contact DKMS by email: grant@dkms.org.
DKMS – much more than a stem cell donor center
To date, DKMS has already given more than 105,000 blood cancer patients a second chance at life. In addition, the non-profit organization operates its own research unit in Dresden. With the DKMS Life Science Lab, it has the most powerful HLA typing laboratory in the world. DKMS research teams work on many different scientific studies around the topic of stem cell transplantation. One particularly successful example is the first DKMS clinical trial with practice-changing results. As a result of the trial, more patients worldwide may have access to transplantation in the future. If you would like to find out more about the scientific commitment of the non-profit organization, you will find detailed information on the DKMS Professionals’ Platform.
John A. Hansen – outstanding physician with a big heart
John A. Hansen, after whom the grant is named, was an outstanding oncologist and distinguished immunogeneticist at the renowned Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. With his excellent achievements in the field of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, this dedicated and empathetic physician made a significant contribution to increasing the efficacy and safety of blood stem cell and bone marrow transplantations – and thus helped in giving countless patients a second chance at life. As a long-standing member of the board of the DKMS Stiftung Leben Spenden and a member of the DKMS Medical Council, he was deeply connected to the DKMS family.
