• Committee finds woman in labour was denied ultrasound examination and advised to walk around • Disciplinary action recommended against RMO held responsible for negligence KARACHI: An inquiry committee formed to investigate reports that a pregnant woman gave birth to a child in a Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) washroom has concluded that the delivery took place in a toilet and blamed officials concerned for not properly assessing or monitoring her after she arrived at the hospital in labour. Last week, videos went viral on social media claiming that a woman gave birth to a child in a JPMC washroom. However, the hospital administration denied the allegations. Later, a three-member inquiry committee was formed to investigate the childbirth incident. The committee has found serious lapses in patient care, revealing that a pregnant woman was not provided with a timely medical assessment, was denied an ultrasound examination and was merely advised to walk around despite being in labour. According to the committee’s report, no ultrasound examination was carried out, and the patient was advised to walk instead of being properly assessed and monitored. The committee noted that the failure to promptly evaluate her condition ultimately led to the woman delivering her baby in a hospital washroom. Officials said the inquiry report submitted to the executive director of JPMC also found that the consultant and resident medical officer (RMO) on duty were absent from their assigned responsibilities. The report concluded that the affected woman reached the hospital’s gynaecology ward at around 9:30pm on the night of the incident but did not receive the standard evaluation expected for a patient presenting with labour pains. The washroom childbirth case sparked widespread public concern after a video related to the incident went viral on social media last week, triggering criticism of conditions and patient care standards at one of Sindh’s largest public-sector hospitals. Following the public outcry, the Sindh Health Department and JPMC administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee to determine the circumstances that led to the incident and identify any negligence on the part of hospital staff. The officials said the committee has recommended that the RMO held responsible for negligence be referred to the Sindh Health Department for departmental proceedings. It has also proposed extending the training period of the postgraduate doctors on duty by three months as a disciplinary measure aimed at improving professional accountability and clinical supervision. During the course of the investigation, the committee recorded statements from the affected woman, her husband and the woman who assisted in the delivery inside the washroom. Statements from doctors, nursing staff and other hospital personnel were also obtained, while CCTV footage and hospital records were reviewed as part of the inquiry. Earlier, in its initial response the JPMC flatly denied that the woman delivered her baby in a washroom, terming the reports baseless and announcing the formation of an inquiry committee to investigate the incident. At that time, hospital officials had maintained that the patient was medically assessed upon arrival and that a normal delivery took place in the designated labour room under medical supervision. They claimed that the pregnant woman was immediately attended to by doctors in the gynaecology emergency ward and underwent a medical examination. Following the assessment, the medical team opted for a normal delivery in the best interest of the patient’s health, they said. Published in Dawn, June 2nd, 2026
“HOW does Muslim hate help me?” So spoke the youthful and prima facie well-meaning founder of the online Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP. Abhijeet Dipke was once an activist in the Aam Aadmi Party. He was trying to affirm that hate could not be the plank of his internet-based club, which is rapidly gaining members and has left the BJP behind in online popularity. There’s a humorous edge to the saga. To qualify as members, applicants need to be “unemployed, lazy, chronically online and be able to rant professionally”. To the extent that some of the features seem to be in line with other sarcastic and essentially crazy outfits flourishing in different corners of the world, the Cockroach party should have nothing to worry about regarding its future. The Monster Raving Loony Party has been a satirical UK political party founded in 1983 by the musician and entertainer David “Screaming Lord” Sutch. It exists to mock mainstream politics, using absurdity and humour to highlight the perceived silliness of traditional parliamentary battles. In Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, there was a horse-riding candidate in the 1970s who called himself Dharti Pakad (grab the earth) and put his name on the ballot paper in several constituencies. However, since the CJP has waded into a palpably troubling vacuum because the main opposition parties have been struggling to confront the erring government without a workable plan to oust it, the occasion calls for unsparing scrutiny. Dipke says the online party was a response to the comments by the chief justice of India who reportedly described the young people feverishly filing petitions as cockroaches. The comments came in the midst of a national crisis wherein hundreds of thousands of boys and girls who passed school were taking a federally monitored admission test to medical colleges. The paper was leaked and the test cancelled. Eleven applicants reportedly committed suicide. Similar bungling was reported at the central school certificate exam body. A key criticism of employment growth under the Modi government has been the severity of youth unemployment. The CJP’s response came with alacrity, something the opposition behemoths lack. It put up four demands as pillars of its manifesto and they ticked important boxes. It advocated a lifetime ban on retiring chief justices from being appointed to the Rajya Sabha. The chief justice who passed the Ayodhya judgement in favour of Hindus was inducted into the Upper House of parliament, ostensibly as a reward. The Cockroach party then says that deletion of votes should be treated as terrorism. If a legitimate voter roll is tampered with in any state, the chief election commissioner should face arrest under strict anti-terror statutes. It proposes that 50 per cent parliamentary and cabinet seats be allocated to women, without expanding the total House capacity. This requires incumbent male politicians to vacate these seats. Broadcasting licences of major corporate news conglomerates (such as the Adani- and Ambani-owned outlets) should be revoked to address media bias. And finally, it proposes a 20-year election ban for members of parliament and members of the legislative assembly who switch political parties. These are serious issues for the opposition parties to ponder or act on. Since the Cockroach Janta Party has waded into a palpably troubling vacuum, the occasion calls for an unsparing scrutiny. But suppose Muslim hate did become helpful as it did for so many, unwittingly. What then, dear Abhijeet? It’s a given that there are direct and indirect benefits of communal hatred in India. It helps polarise votes for and against the hater. In other words, non-haters would be jobless together with the haters if Muslim hate, or Christian or Dalit hate somehow stopped. Of course, hate enables the hater to also dodge press conferences where the occasional tough question is primed to be flung at anyone in authority. Currently raging topics such as the petrol price rise, fertiliser and LPG shortages — tightly wrapped in corruption — compromised state institutions such as the judiciary, election commission, bureaucracy and police, and a foreign policy spurred by the interests of friendly business tycoons could all be embarrassing on a public platform. Hate is a good decoy too. The Aam Aadmi Party, of which Dipke was a part, can’t be accused of communal hatred. But then, it kept studiously aloof when the anti-citizenship laws campaign was launched by Muslim women of Delhi. The party disappeared like the Cheshire cat when police joined Hindu extremists in attacking Muslim protesters in Delhi in February 2020. Hindus and Muslims had lived in relative harmony in Muzaffarnagar, a key industrial and agricultural hub in western Uttar Pradesh, often known as the ‘sugar bowl’ of India for its massive sugarcane production. In the run- up to the 2014 general elections, Narendra Modi exploited a manufactured Hindu-Muslim incident in Muzaffarnagar to polarise the state and through it much of northern India. Muzaffarnagar has been healing, though, and there’s a bright Muslim woman from the vicinity who rose to become an opposition MP of notable calibre from the Hindu-majority constituency. While Uttar Pradesh triggered Modi’s ascent to power, it also helped the opposition in the 2024 elections to confront Modi’s communal vitriol, leaving him short of over two dozen seats. So far so good. Modi’s current innings has three years to go before the 2029 elections. It must be given to him that he is a quick learner. A foreign reporter asked him if there was something he would’ve handled differently as chief minister. He said, not without being ominous, that he should’ve handled the media better. In other words, he wasn’t happy being called the destroyer-in-chief of Gujarat’s already enfeebled democratic credentials. Dipke’s Kafkaesque nightmare was probably addressed perfectly by the peerless Ghalib, a key witness to the brutally quelled revolt of 1857. “Chalta hoon thodi door har ik tez rau ke saath/ Pehchanta nahi hoon abhi raahbar ko main!” Rekhta.org translates it thus: “Short distances I walk with everyone who moves apace/ I know not yet the guide nor recognise his face.” The writer is Dawn’s correspondent in Delhi. jawednaqvi@gmail.com Published in Dawn, June 2nd, 2026

Children born after 2013 are the first generation to grow up fully immersed in digital systems, which weren’t designed with them in mind. One‑third of the world’s Internet users are younger than 18, according to UNICEF, yet these systems shaping their daily lives were built for adults. They were optimized for engagement and designed long before people understood how profoundly digital environments influence children. For engineers and technical professionals, online safety is not an abstract policy debate. It is a design challenge that demands rigor, systems thinking, and ethical foresight. Governments around the world are also beginning to recognize the problem. Policymakers from across Australia, Brazil, the European Union, Indonesia, and the United States are responding to risks engineers have long understood: Addictive features, inappropriate content, opaque data practices, and algorithmic systems shape user behavior in ways that their creators did not fully predict. For years, technology moved faster than governance. Now governance is trying to catch up. Global Shift Toward Design Reform Supporting National Digital Ambitions In Athens this year I met with senior leaders of Greek government agencies and key national research institutions. Greece is moving quickly on digital transformation and responsible technology governance, and our discussions reinforced IEEE’s role as a trusted, neutral collaborator. We focused on supporting Greece’s ambitions in digital modernization and public‑sector innovation. We also discussed responsible AI and age-appropriate digital design in Europe and elsewhere. These engagements, grounded in shared values and long‑term commitment, strengthened IEEE’s presence within the European ecosystem and opened new pathways for collaboration on trustworthy AI and child‑focused digital well‑being. The European Union and the United Kingdom have been among the first to act, embedding age‑appropriate digital design into their broader children’s rights agenda. Drawing on IEEE expertise and global best practices, Indonesia is the first country in Asia, and Brazil is the first country in Latin America, to adopt age-appropriate design regulation. Australia is aiming to limit access to harmful content and addictive design features through age restrictions on certain platforms. And in the United States, in addition to federal efforts, states including California, New York, and Utah are enacting approaches including age-appropriate design principles. Across these efforts, a shared realization is emerging. Protecting children online is not simply about filtering content or adding parental controls. It requires rethinking the architecture of digital systems regarding how data is collected, how algorithms make decisions, how interfaces influence attention, and how AI interacts with the developing minds of young users. Engineers and technical professionals understand that design choices are never neutral. They encode values, incentives, and assumptions. When the user is a child, those choices carry greater weight. This is where IEEE’s work becomes more essential. Protecting Children Online For more than a decade, IEEE has been building technical and ethical foundations for safer digital experiences. The first IEEE standard on age-appropriate design in 2021 marked a turning point. It offers a structured, principled approach to designing with children’s rights in mind. The Institute’s 2022 article “Use a New IEEE Standard to Design a Safer Digital World for Kids” highlights how the standard helps translate those principles into engineering practice. Today the IEEE Standards Association’s (SA) Trustworthy Digital Experiences portfolio provides a practical, technically grounded framework for governments and industry. Spanning ethical design, data governance, algorithmic transparency, and child‑focused digital well‑being, it has already initiated discussions with government stakeholders around the world. This work helps bridge the gap between engineering realities and policy ambitions. No single country can solve these challenges alone. Many policymakers lack access to the combined expertise in technology, governance, and children’s rights needed to act quickly and effectively. This collaborative effort helps close that gap. The stakes are high. Without coordinated action, public policy will continue to lag behind technology, leaving children exposed to risks that could have been mitigated through thoughtful design. But with the right frameworks, governments can ensure digital systems respect children’s rights, support healthy development, and promote well‑being. IEEE’s emerging standards and collaborative technology policy work offer a path forward. By grounding national efforts in evidence‑based, rights-aligned design principles, IEEE is helping governments move from reactive regulation to proactive, coherent, and globally informed strategies for protecting children online. Safeguarding childhood in the digital age is both a moral imperative and an engineering challenge. And IEEE is helping to lead the way. —Mary Ellen Randall IEEE president and CEO Please share your thoughts with me: president@ieee.org. This article appears in the June 2026 print issue.
