Another round of India-China diplomatic talks today to end border impasse

India and China hold a fresh round of diplomatic talks today to carry forward the disengagement process to resolve the over three-month-long border stand-off in eastern Ladakh, people familiar with the developments said.

The meeting of the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on India-China Border Affairs (WMCC) was scheduled to take place today at 11 am.

The meeting between diplomats of the two sides, to be held via video conference.

The WMCC framework, established in 2012, was activated last month in the pursuit of a solution as tensions flared at the border. 

Meanwhile, on Friday, in his first-ever speech after the Galwan clash, Chinese ambassador to India Sun Weidong said “peace is of paramount importance” and that China is “neither a warlike state nor an assertive country”.

Despite the two countries having earlier agreed to an “early and complete” disengagement of troops along the LAC, the process initiated on July 26 has hardly seen any progress in the past few weeks because of, according to sources in New Delhi, China’s reluctance to withdraw from Depsang and Pangong areas.

This will be the fifth engagement at the diplomatic level since the border standoff emerged into the open in early May and the Indian side is expected to reiterate its call for China to work sincerely towards complete disengagement and de-escalation along the LAC, the people cited above said on condition of anonymity.

Trump never took presidency seriously, says Barack Obama, warns about the future of US democracy

During the third night of Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, former United States President Barack Obama made some serious accusation against his Republican successor Donald Trump. While making a case for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Obama said Trump unleashed America’s “worst impulse” and treated the presidency like “one more reality show.”

“For close to four years now, he’s shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves,” said Obama.

Talking about American democracy’s future under Trump’s leadership, Obama said,“This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that’s what it takes to win.” “So we have to get busy building it up – by pouring all our effort into these 76 days, and by voting like never before – for Joe and Kamala, and candidates up and down the ticket, so that we leave no doubt about what this country we love stands for – today and for all our days to come…That’s how a democracy withers, until it’s no democracy at all. We can’t let that happen. Do not let them take away your power. Don’t let them take away your democracy,” he added.

Obama said Trump’s faliure has left 1,70,000 Americans dead from the novel coronavirus and threatedned democracy both at home and abroad.

Obama identified Biden, who was vice president under his presidency, as an ideal candidate for the job. Vouching for Biden’s qualifications, Obama said, “Over eight years, Joe was the last one in the room whenever I faced a big decision,” Obama said in prepared remarks. “He made me a better president. He’s got the character and the experience to make us a better country.”

Meanwhile, Trump hit back the former president in his address at the white house, calling him a “terrible” leader, the president said, “I see the horror that he’s left us, the stupidity of the transactions that he made. President Obama did not do a good job. The reason I’m here is because of President Obama and Joe Biden.”

The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) supported the Supreme Court verdict on the Sushant Singh Rajput’s case.

Sambit Patra, BJP supreme spokesperson said: “The Supreme Court ordering a CBI probe, is a thumbs down to the Maharashtra government for their biased attitude.” In its verdict, the Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Mumbai Police to hand over all evidence collected so far to the CBI.

Just moments after the Supreme Court verdict of ordering the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case Sambit Patra tweeted and wrote: “Congratulations to family members of Sushant Singh Rajput, news channels, media personnel, Bihar govt, central govt & lawyers of SSR’s family..finally TRUTH prevails.

Donald Trump is the wrong choice for America: Michelle Obama

By

Michelle Obama the former first lady shared a video message in Democratic convention, where she said that Donald Trump is not the president America needs and he is the wrong choice for America.

“Donald Trump is a wrong choice our country,” said Michelle Obama in her recorded video message to the Democratic convention. Apart from Michelle Obama many other members of the Democratic party also piled on Trump.

The 2020 presidential election will take place on November 3 and the parties are concerned about their election campaign which will be virtual and it’s going be a challenging task for them.

The virtual and pre-recorded speeches with no live audience can’t generate the same level of energy and excitement level.

What did Michelle Obama said?

Michelle Obama attacked President Donald Trump with her video message and she showed the power to convince the common people of the United States of America.

“You simply cannot fake your way through this job,” Michelle Obama said on the first night of the convention on Monday.

The headline speaker added: “Our economy is in shambles because of a virus that this president downplayed for too long.”

“Stating the simple fact that a black lives matter is still met with derision from the nation’s highest office,” Mrs. Obama continued.

“Because whenever we look to this White House for some leadership, or consolation or any semblance of steadiness, what we get instead is chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy.”

“They see our leaders labeling fellow citizens enemies of the state while emboldening torch-bearing white supremacists.

“They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages, and pepper spray and rubber bullets are used on peaceful protests for a photo op.”

Mrs. Obama continued: “Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head.

“He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is.”

She described Mr. Biden as a “profoundly decent man”, touting the Democratic White House candidate’s experience as vice-president under her husband, President Barack Obama.

“We have got to vote for Joe Biden as our lives depend on it,” she said.

The world’s most important election is scheduled to take place on November 3 and the American future is totally dependent on that particular date. Donald Trump didn’t stand up to mark in most of the situations in his four-year term as President of United States, even it’s the spread of the coronavirus or America’s relation with the European Union.

A national-level private laboratory has claimed that every one of them every four people in India has developed COVID-19 antibodies in their body.

On Monday, Pune has reported a seropositivity of over 50% in some areas, whereas Mumbai reported 57% and Delhi has claimed 23% of seropositivity.

When a person has seropositivity in him then he has developed the immunity to fight against the COVID-19 virus.

“India is the only country with areas showing such high seropositivity. Indians are immunologically stronger,” said Maharashtra COVID task force member Dr. Shashank Joshi as quoted by India Today.

The tests are happening throughout the country by the Thyrocare laboratory. Arokiaswamy Velumani, managing director said ” Almost 24% of the two-lakh plus people tested across the country so far have antibodies of COVID-19,” he added

“Our results show India at 24% positivity is getting closer to 35% when plateauing of cases are known to happen,” said Dr. Velumani. At 45% of seropositivity, the curve takes a downward slope. “With positivity anywhere between 45%-50%, the virus becomes less impactful.”

PM Modi should urge MS Dhoni to play the 2021 T20 World Cup: Shoaib Akthar

By
Harshit

MS Dhoni’s announced his retirement from the international cricket on Saturday. Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akthar feels that the PM Modi should urge MS Dhoni to reconsider his decision to retire and continue till World T20 next year.

MS Dhoni has given his 15-year to make Indian cricket best in all formats both a captain and player.

The 39-year-old is the only captain in the cricketing history to win all the three ICC trophies. India won the 2007 World T20, historic 2011 World Cup, 2013 Champions Trophy, and many other tournaments as well under MS Dhoni’s captaincy.

MS Dhoni has been the part of 350 ODIs, 90 Tests, and 98 T20Is while playing for India where he scored 17,266 runs. Dhoni is the most successful Indian captain and he captained in 200 matches for India in ODI.

In an interview with the Youtube Channel BolWasim, Shoaib Akthar said playing the 2021 World Cup should have been the MS Dhoni’s next target instead of retiring a year before the mega tournament.

“I think he could have gone on to play the T20 World Cup. The way India supports its stars, the way they love them, and recognizes them, they would have played him in T20s. But it was his personal choice,” Akhtar said.

“But again he has won everything, a person from Ranchi has rocked the whole of India, what else do you need. At the end of the day, the world should remember you. And a nation like India, they will never let you get forgotten.”

“You never know, the Prime Minister may call him and request him to play the T20 World Cup. That is also possible. Imran Khan was asked by General Zia-ul-Haq not to leave cricket after 1987, and he played. You cannot say no to the Prime Minister.” he said.

The legendary Pakistani pacer also believes that India owes him a grand farewell.

“India will be geared up to give him a farewell game, trust me. If he doesn’t want it, it is a different thing, but India will be ready. The whole stadium will be booked for him to play a couple of T20 matches,” the 45-year-old added.

Rhea Chakraborty makes serious allegations against Sushant Singh Rajput’s family, says his sister ‘groped me’

By
Shivani Negi

With new revelations being made every day, Sushant Singh Rajput death case keeps getting murkier. In the latest, Rhea Chakraborty has released an official statement wherein she made some serious allegations against Sushant’s family.

In a lengthy statement released by her lawyer, Rhea has said that she has complied with every single request from agencies investigating Sushant’s death.

The statement reads, “Rhea and Sushant were known to each other over the past several years as they were both working in the Indian Film Industry. Rhea and Sushant had maintained a cordial friendship and would occasionally communicate with each other. In April 2019, Rhea and Sushant had attended a party hosted by the film fraternity and shortly thereafter they began dating each other. Even though they spent a lot of time in each other’s homes, they officially moved in together in December 2019 and lived at Mount Blanc, Bandra, till Rhea left on the 8th of June 2020.”

Calling allegation levelled by the actor’s family ‘nonsense’, she claims that she has not received even a single transfer from Sushant’s account. She wrote, “The current allegations being levelled by his family are total nonsense and an afterthought. No allegations whatsoever were made till the 27th of July 2020 by anybody in the family before the Mumbai Police or to any other authority. Their statements were recorded by the police in Mumbai. They are educated and have an IPS officer OP Singh in the family. The allegations are totally concocted and fabricated for ulterior purposes. Rhea denies all allegations of abetment of suicide, misappropriation of funds and others or otherwise. Both the Mumbai Police and the Enforcement Directorate have been handed over all of Rhea’s financial documents which clearly show the falsity of such allegations. She has not received a single transfer from Sushant’s accounts. All her Income Tax Returns have been examined by Police as well as the ED. Neither of them have found anything incriminating against Rhea.”

She then made some serious allegations against Sushant’s Priyanka. Recalling the incident, she said that one night Priyanka was drunk and groped Rhea while she was sleeping and asked her to leave the room. After this incident, relations between Sushant’s famil and Rhea went ugly.

The statement reads, “In the initial months of their relationship, when Rhea had visited Sushant’s house, his sister Priyanka and her husband Siddharth were living with him. On one night, in and around April 2019, Rhea and Priyanka had gone out to a party. Priyanka consumed copious amounts of alcohol and was behaving inappropriately with men as well as women at that party. So, Rhea insisted that they return to Sushant’s home. Upon returning, Sushant and his sister continued drinking alcohol while Rhea retired for the night as she had a shoot the next morning. Rhea was asleep in Sushant’s room when she suddenly awoke to find Priyanka had got into bed with her and was groping her. Rhea was extremely shocked and demanded that she leave the room immediately. Subsequently, Rhea herself left the house. Thereafter, Rhea informed Sushant as to what had transpired and Sushant got into an argument with his sister regarding the same. That due to the aforesaid incident, the relationship between Sushant’s family and Rhea had been strained since inception. Even after his death when a list of 20 people was made to attend the Funeral, Rhea’s name was not included in the list and hence she was excluded from attending the Funeral.”

Talking about the June 8 – the day Rhea left Sushant’s house, Rhea said that Sushant had called his family several times to inform that he wants to move out of Mumbai and had even asked his sister Meethu to come and meet him.

“In June 2020, Sushant had been calling his family, informing them of his decision to move out of Mumbai and requesting them to come meet him. After several days of Sushant calling and crying over the phone, his sister, Meethu agreed to come live with him on the 8th of June 2020. Due to this development, Sushant requested Rhea to live with her parents for the time being. Rhea had been suffering from her own anxiety issues and often endured panic attacks. Sushant’s conduct also aggravated these conditions. Even though Rhea was desirous of seeing her family, she was not at all comfortable with leaving Sushant. The very same day, 8th June 2020, Rhea had arranged to have a therapy session of her own with Dr. Susan Walker and requested Sushant if she could leave after the session. However, Sushant told her to leave immediately before his sister Meethu arrived. Thus Rhea reluctantly left and informed Sushant to let her or her brother know about anything he required or in case he needed to talk. Rhea has always maintained that she would like the truth of the matter to be revealed by virtue of a fair and impartial investigation. She has admitted in her Petition to the SC that she sent a Message to Amit Shah Union HM to order a CBI investigation. She has also informed the SC that if the Court Transfers it to CBI she had no objection. What she has challenged is the Illegal Registration and Investigation of Bihar Police without Jurisdiction and transfer to CBI of an illegal investigation”, Rhea revealed.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the validity of the PM CARES Fund

The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to direct the Centre to transfer the contributions made to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations (PM CARES) Fund for battling the COVID-19 pandemic to the National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF).

The court also said there is no need for a new plan and that one under the National Disaster Management Act, made by the government last November, is enough to deal with Covid-19.

Dismissing a writ petition filed by NGO Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL), the bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, R Subhash Reddy and M R Shah said: “The funds collected in the PM CARES Fund are entirely different funds which are funds of a public charitable trust and there is no occasion for issuing any direction to transfer the said funds to the NDRF… The prayer of the petitioner to direct all the funds collected in the PM CARES Fund till date to be transferred to the NDRF is refused.”

The NGO, Centre for Public Interest Litigation (CPIL), had claimed that PM CARES Fund was set up in violation of the legal mandate under the Disaster Management Act as per which any grant made by any person or institution for the purpose of disaster management should be compulsorily credited to NDRF.

The bench said individuals and corporate houses could still donate to NDRF under the rules, which have been in place since 2015-16. Dismissing the PIL, it said, “Submission that after the new guidelines, it is not possible for any person or institution to make any contribution to the NDRF is, thus, misconceived and incorrect.

Mr. Dave had argued that PM-CARES was not subject to audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General. It was not under “public scrutiny” and contributions to it were “100% tax free”.

Senior advocate Kapil Sibal had argued that corporate contributors were lured to donate to PM-CARES because they could avail of corporate social responsibility benefits, which was not possible in the case of donations to States’ funds.

People’s Bank of China invests Rs 15 crore in ICICI Bank amid India-China tension

Amid the boycott of Chinese goods in the country and the anti-China environment, the news is that the People’s Bank of China has bought a stake in ICICI. However, experts say that this does not pose any threat to the national interest.

The People’s Bank has picked up 0.006 per cent stake in ICICI Bank by investing Rs 15 crore in the private sector lender’s Rs 15,000 crore qualified institutional placement (QIP) exercise which concluded last week.

People’s Bank of China was amongst the 357 institutional investors which included domestic mutual funds, insurance companies and global institutions that subscribed to the issue. The prominent investors among them were Government of Singapore, Morgan Investment and Societe Generale.

Currently, among Indian companies, PBoC has stakes in HDFC, Ambuja Cement and Piramal Enterprises. In all the companies, the holding is below the 1% level, which necessitates compulsory disclosure. By March-end, PBoC’s stake in HDFC was slightly above the 1% level as it bought some shares just before the Indian and Chinese military forces’ skirmish in the Galwan valley in Ladakh region.

However, during the April-June quarter, the Chinese central bank sold part of its stake in HDFC and, as of June-end, it had fallen below the 1% level, company officials said.

Kanagana Ranaut who keeps criticising Bollywood honchos time and again has found herself at the center of criticism this time. Bollywood actor, Naseeruddin Shah, without naming Kangana took a slight dig at the actress in his recent interview with India Today. Shah talked about his opinion on the nepotism debacle that has intensified after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput and called Kangana ‘some half-educated-starlet’.

“No one is interested in the opinions of some half-educated starlet who decides to take it upon herself to, you know, get justice for Sushant. If there is justice that needs to be done, I think we need to have faith in the process of the law and if it is none of our business, I think we should not concern ourselves with it,” he said.

Acknowledging Shah’s comment, Kangana’s team took to their verified handle to reply. “Thank you Naseer ji, you weighed all my awards and achievements which non of my contemporaries have on the scale of nepotism,I am used to this but would you say this to me if I were Parkash Padukone/Anil Kapoor’s daughter ?” it wrote.

https://twitter.com/KanganaTeam/status/1295643954004684800

The Kangana Team then shared a clip of actor’s old conversation and wrote: “Naseer ji is a great artist, itne mahan kalakar ki toh gaaliyaan bhi bhagwan ke parshad ki tareh hain, I rather watch amazing conversation we had about cinema and our craft last year and you told me how much you appreciate me.”

https://twitter.com/KanganaTeam/status/1295645306097291264

Meanwhile, talking about Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, Shah said: , “It’s sickening. It is absolutely sickening. I have not followed it. I felt deeply grieved when the young man died. I did not know him but he had a bright future and it was a waste of a life. But I did not bother to follow the nonsense that’s being spouted by a whole lot of people.Every person who has any little frustration in his mind, in his heart, about the commercial industry, has been vomiting it out to the press. It is absolutely disgusting. I mean, keep these complaints to yourself, no one is interested.”

The Supreme Court on Wednesday handed over the Sushant Singh Rajput case to CBI as the mystery around young actor’s death continues to deepen. The SC in its statement said that the young actor sure had a bright future ahead, while adding obstruction of Bihar cops in Maharashtra has definitely raised suspicion against Mumbai Police.

After Twitter and Microsoft, the Oracle Corp has joined the race to buy popular video sharing app TikTok’s US operations. As per the report published in the Financial Times, Oracle has initiated the talks with Chinese firm ByteDance who owns TikTok to acquire app’s operation in the United States.

Besided the US, Oracle is also eying to buy TikTok’s operations in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the report said.

The software giant Oracle co-founded by Larry Ellison has been working with some US investors who have a stake in ByteDance, including General Atlantic and Sequoia Capital, the FT added.

Earlier this month, Twitter Inc had expressed its interest in buying TikTok’s US operations, while the tech giant Microsoft still remain the most favoured contender to acquire the app in the states.

According to media reports, the Redmond, Washington-based company has also presented its bid in buying TikTok in Europe and India, where the app was banned in June by the Central government, citing privacy issues.

Oracle’s approach came a week after the US President Donald Trump issued an order stating ByteDance must either sell its operations within 90-days or face ban in the states.

Mr Trump said the US had credible evidence that ByteDance was using TikTok to steal users’ personal data and was sending it to Chinese government in Beijing. ByteDance had refused the allegations.

ByteDance and TikTok did not have a comment on the matter, while Oracle declined to comment.

Meanwhile, the US President Donald Trump has said that Oracle is a good company and could take over TikTok’s US operations.
