"Unfair Criticism": Karti Chidambaram On DMK's "Backstabber" Remark

Congress's Karti Chidambaram told NDTV today that the "backstabber" tag from the DMK following the Grand Old Party's decision to form an alliance with Vijay is "unfair criticism". The DMK, upset at the Congress decision, has called off the alliance that has been in place since 2004. Chidambaram said while he respected the ties with DMK, the people's mandate this time demanded that Vijay be allowed to form government and not giving him the necessary support would have led to a stalemate. #NDTVExclusive | "Offered our support to TVK": Karti P Chidambaram ( @KartiPC ) to @jsamdaniel pic.twitter.com/Jf5MPlVHhK — NDTV (@ndtv) May 6, 2026 In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Chidambaram said: "The people have clearly voted for a new formation. They want change. They want a new formation to be led by Vijay, and they also have not given Vijay an absolute mandate. So they have told Vijay to go and lead a government, but to go and seek the a...

"Will Be Miracle If I Live Till 80": Aus Great Says He Has Parkinson's

In a shocking revelation, Australian cricket legend Allan Border on Friday has said he has Parkinson's disease and it would me a "miracle" if he makes it 80. The former Australian captain, who will turn 68 on July 27, was diagnosed with the nervous disorder in 2016. "I walked into the neurosurgeon's and he said straight up, 'I'm sorry to tell you but you've got Parkinson's'," the 1987 World Cup winning Australian skipper told Newscorp.

"'Just the way you walked in. Your arms straight down by your side, hanging not swinging.' He could just tell." 

Border had only confided about this to Dean Jones, who died of heart attack in 2020. "I'm a pretty private person and I didn't want people to feel sorry for me sort of thing," he said.

"Whether people care you don't know. But I know there'll come a day when people will notice. I get the feeling I'm a hell of a lot better off than most. At the moment, I'm not scared, not about the immediate future anyway. I'm 68. If I make 80, that'll be a miracle. I've got a doctor friend and I said if I make 80, that'll be a miracle, and he said, 'That will be a miracle.'"

A veteran of 156 Tests between 1979 and 1994, Border captained Australia in 93 of them and led them to the Ashes triumph over England in 1989. He was the first batter to score 11,000 runs and ended his career with 11,174 Test runs.

From 273 ODIs, he has 6524 runs. After retirement, he has served as an Australian selector and been a broadcast commentator. "No way am I going to get another 100, that's for sure," Border said. "I'll just slip slowly into the west."
