4. Why is Toyota ‘angry’ with the Indian govt?

SC hearing on plea to debar criminal MLAs & MPs from contesting polls; First chargesheet on Delhi riots conspiracy likely to be filed; Gujarat HC to start physical hearing of cases; Japanese parliament to vote on new PM; England vs Australia, 3^rd ODI, Manchester

1. Parliament discussed China in 1962, it’s too ‘sensitive’ now

2. So here’s what the Chinese did, ‘officially’

3. Why SC stopped a show that Centre okayed

The show: The Supreme Court on Tuesday stopped the telecast of a “rabid” Sudarshan TV programme, claimed by the channel in promos as a 'big expose on conspiracy to infiltrate Muslims in government service'.
The approval: The Centre had last week allowed the channel to broadcast the show. On Tuesday it argued before the apex court that “freedom of journalists is supreme” and it would be “disastrous for any democracy to control the press”. It also cited stories on “Hindu terror” and others that “alarmed people during the lockdown”. "Can these be said to be less harmful than communal shows," the Centre’s lawyer asked.
The stay: "It is an insidious attempt to malign a particular community," the apex court said. "No one has absolute freedom to say anything and surely journalistic freedom of speech is not absolute," it said.
The question: The court said, “We are not suggesting some kind of censorship on media but there should be some kind of self-regulation in media”. “The point is this that the right of the media is on behalf of the citizens only and it's not an exclusive right of the media,” it said.

Elsewhere, in a strongly-worded open online letter, around 60 human rights advocacy groups and over 2,500 individuals castigated “News Media of India” for allegedly conducting a misogynistic media trial of actor Rhea Chakraborty.

6. Another grim milestone: 5 million plus Covid-19 cases

India became the second country to record 5 million Covid-19 cases after the US (6.7 million currently), with the last 1 million coming in a world-record time (see above graphic). Total cases now stand at 5,014,395.
With 90,789 new infections on Tuesday, India’s active cases also crossed the 1 million mark while it also recorded a new all time high of most deaths in a single day, with 1,275 people succumbing to the pandemic, taking the total fatality count to 82,083.
This month has now seen over 1.3 million cases, which constitute 27% of the total caseload.
Reinfections: Two healthcare workers from a Noida hospital could be the country’s first genetically proven cases of Covid reinfection, according to the preprint of a research paper submitted by Delhi’s Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB). The team has also established reinfection in four healthcare workers from Mumbai. “Our analysis suggests that asymptomatic reinfection may be potentially under-reported,” said the IGIB preprint.
