London: A UK court will on Thursday decide on the extradition of wanted diamond merchant Nirav Modi, who remains behind bars in a London prison as he contests his extradition to India on charges of fraud and money laundering in the estimated USD 2-billion Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case. The UK court's ruling will put an end to Nirav Modi’s nearly two-year-long legal battle in the PNB scam case.

The toolkit controversy, followed by the Disinfo Lab report titled ‘The Unending War: From Proxy War to Info War Against India’, has unveiled the sinister plan of Khalistanis and has brought to light the Pakistani players fuelling the propaganda campaign against India amidst the ongoing farmer protests. The Delhi Police did a press conference on Monday on the toolkit and uncovered the role of ISI sponsored propagandist Pieter Friedrich in the case, an individual whose name also appeared in the toolkit. Responding to the questions on his anti-India campaign asked during an interview by an Indian media outlet, Friedrich, instead of factually responding to the questions, seemingly read a prescribed script and said – “Indian security forces today are infiltrated by and operating as agents of the Nazi-inspired RSS paramilitary.” During the press conference, the Delhi Police stated that Indian security agencies have been keeping an eye on him since 2006 when his connections with a ... » Learn More about Toolkit controversy: Pakistan’s ISI was working through Pieter Friedrich to manufacture dissent in India: Here’s how

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the "government has no business to be in business", India Inc on Thursday said privatisation except in strategic sectors would unleash exciting opportunities, boost investments in infrastructure and create jobs. However, the industry called for an effective implementation of road map towards privatisation and asset monetisation, cautioning that regulatory and legal hurdles should not derail the process. FICCI President Uday Shankar said senior government functionaries and other officials responsible for the execution of the programme would adopt a highly cautious approach in case they are not insulated from the outcome of their bona fide decisions. "Wisdom gained in hindsight should not be used to question the judgement of the decision-takers and such officers should be offered protection for their action done in good faith," he said. The FICCI president emphasised that the quality of the asset is as important as the ... » Learn More about Privatisation to unleash exciting opportunities, boost investment: India Inc

Three years after issuing a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) on Boeing aircraft that India was buying for use by the Prime Minister and other VVIPs, the United States unilaterally foisted an amendment mandating intrusive annual end-use inspections of them by American personnel. When the Cabinet Committee on Security approved the purchase plans in September 2005, it was on the basis of an LOA that did not require physical inspection of the highly sensitive aircraft. But in May 2008, the U.S. handed over to the Indian side a number of changes to the LOA, including a requirement for annual Enhanced End-use Monitoring inspections of the Large Aircraft Infrared Counter-Measures (LAIRCM) the planes come equipped with. The LAIRCM is a self-protection suite that allows the pilot to take counter-measures if the aircraft comes under attack while in air. According to a cable sent to Washington on May 5, 2008 from the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, accessed by The Hindu through WikiLeaks, ... » Learn More about How India blinked on U.S. inspections of PM’s jet

New Delhi: In a strong message to Turkey, India on Wednesday (February 24) reminded Turkey of United Nations Security Council or UNSC resolutions on Cyprus after the latter raked UNSC resolutions on Kashmir. India's Second Secretary, Permanent Mission of India to UN, Geneva, Seema Pujani said, "As far as the subject of UN Resolutions is concerned, we would advise Turkey to practise what it preaches by first implementing those UN Resolutions that apply to it." UNSC resolution on Cyprus has been a cause of embarrassment to Turkey even as it continues to occupy the northern part of the island nation in the Mediterranean Sea. Turkey in the past, especially after India removed special status for the erstwhile state for Jammu and Kashmir has been supporting Pakistani "cause" at various multilateral organizations especially the UN. Pujani hitting out at Turkey said "we find them completely unacceptable", pointing out, "it is ironical for a country which has trampled upon its ... » Learn More about India reminds Turkey of UNSC resolution on Cyprus, raises Omar Saeed’s acquittal at UNHRC

Despite the third Test between India and England ending within two days, India opening batsman Rohit Sharma has stressed that there were no “demons” in the pitch at Motera. “If you look at the 30 wickets which have fallen. I don’t see anything the pitch did. It’s what the batsmen did. It’s not just them, we played horribly too. It seemed a normal pitch to me. Very typical Indian wicket,” Rohit said after India’s 10-wicket win. “We didn’t pick the right shots to play. No rough, unlike in Chennai. England batsmen just missed the line against Axar, and we also played well below our skill. We will be equipped to handle these conditions in the future.” Rohit, whose 66 in India’s first innings was the highest individual score of the match, said the “pace of the pink ball” added to the batsmen’s difficulty. “It came on to the bat faster than the red ball. It has got to do with the conditions in the evening. Temperature goes down and the dew [comes in] too. Again, all in all, the pace ... » Learn More about India vs England | Blame the batsmen, not the pitch: Rohit
