The disengagement in the Pangong Tso area and the Galwan Valley and the creation of a buffer zone are a “surrender of India’s rights at the moment,” former Defence Minister A.K. Antony said on Sunday. Mr. Antony cautioned that if China played mischief, it could help Pakistan capture Siachen as the “buffer zone” in the Galwan Valley would prevent Indian troops from accessing the Karakoram range. Addressing a press conference, the senior Congress leader said it was a “betrayal” of the country to have a meagre hike in defence budget, especially since the country was facing a two-front war-like situation. Mr. Antony alleged that the government did not increase the defence budget to “appease” China and give a message of no confrontation. “To appease China, we have agreed to disengagement on China’s terms,” he alleged. Mr. Antony said it was sad that the Narendra Modi government was not giving priority to national security at a time when China was getting belligerent and Pakistan ... » Learn More about Antony calls disengagement with China a ‘surrender of rights’

Advocates for federal relief on $1.7 trillion overhang press case for Biden to act US President Joe Biden has been called on to erase debts from students loans by executive order to address a crisis of mounting debts that some say could threaten the nation's economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

About 44.7 million borrowers collectively owe about $1.71 trillion, according to data from Student Loan Hero, a Texas-based financial services company. On the campaign trail for the November presidential election, Biden voiced support for some form of debt relief.

Among the class of 2019, 69 percent of college students took out student loans, and they graduated with an average debt of $29,900, from private and federal sources, the company said. Lately, the debate on loan forgiveness has heated ... » Learn More about Student debts seen clouding US recovery

On Feb 19, China disclosed the details of the Sino-Indian border clash in Galwan Valley in June 2020, honoring the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country along with those who were wounded on that fateful day. The official announcement shows the Chinese government holds in high esteem the heroes who defend the country. In the tense border confrontation, India suffered heavy losses, as at least 20 Indian army officers and soldiers died and an unknown number were injured. India, which stirred up the border tensions, should reflect on its actions and meet China halfway to restore peace along the Line of Actual Control and settle the border disputes through talks. As video footages from the disputed border show, the Indian troops have violated many agreements reached between the two sides to maintain peace, by building roads, bridges and fortifications close to the LAC and even crossing the LAC on many occasions. In June, for example, the Indian army crossed the LAC and ... » Learn More about India must use talks to settle border row
