  • Sunil Jakhar joins BJP days after leaving Congress

    Sunil Jakhar joins BJP days after leaving Congress

    New Delhi (TIP)- Sunil Jakhar, a prominent face of Punjab politics who quit the Congress recently, joined the BJP on Thursday, May 19, a development being seen as a big gain for the saffron party that aspires to get a toehold in the border state. Jakhar, unlike many other Congress deserters, has expressed sorrow at breaking ties with the Grand Old Party, saying it was not easy to snap a 50-year-old relationship that spanned three generations of his family. He stressed on Thursday that the Congress for him was not a party but “family”.

    “I had a 50-year-old relationship with the Congress. Three generations of my family have been with the party since 1972. Considering the party my family, we stayed with it in good and bad times,” Jakhar said, claiming he quit not because of “fundamental disputes” with the party or any “personal dispute”.

    BJP president J.P. Nadda was personally present to welcome Jakhar, underlining the importance the party was according to the latest catch from the Congress. Nadda claimed that Jakhar left the Congress owing to a “dispute over nationalism” and “Punjab’s unity and brotherhood”.

    Claiming that the BJP was leading the “nationalist forces” in Punjab, Nadda said it was essential that people aligning with such an ideology joined the party. He said Jakhar would play a key role for the BJP in Punjab. After Jakhar, another key Congress deserter, Hardik Patel from Gujarat, is set to join the BJP soon, BJP leaders said. Hardik, who quit the Congress on Wednesday, has slammed the leadership in general and Rahul Gandhi in particular and dropped enough hints that he was headed towards the BJP. Jakhar quit the Congress after the party’s disciplinary committee recommended that he be suspended for two years and removed from all posts for criticising then chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi. The Congress lost the Punjab elections earlier this year. Jakhar holds a lot of importance for the BJP that has a marginal presence in Punjab. In the Sikh-dominated state sharing a border with Pakistan, the BJP had for years played second fiddle to then ally Akali Dal. The BJP was left virtually orphaned in the state after the Akali Dal snapped ties over the farm laws. Jakhar is a prominent non-Sikh politician from the state who commands a lot of goodwill. Led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP has been running a determined campaign to woo the Sikhs after the Centre was forced to withdraw the three new farm laws, bowing to a prolonged struggle by farmers primarily led by the community. BJP insiders said Jakhar could soon be rewarded with a Rajya Sabha berth and a key responsibility in the effort to strengthen the BJP in Punjab.

  • Babbar Khalsa, Pakistan’s ISI behind Mohali explosion: Police

    Babbar Khalsa, Pakistan’s ISI behind Mohali explosion: Police

    Chandigarh (TIP)- The Punjab Police has arrested five people in connection with the RPG attack at its Mohali office and pointed at the nexus of militant outfit Babbar Khalsa International and Pakistan’s spy agency ISI.

    Addressing a press conference here on Friday, May 13, Punjab Director General of Police V K Bhawra said a sixth accused is in police custody in a separate case.

    The plot behind the incident has been traced and a nexus between militant outfit Babbar Khalsa International and gangsters at the behest of Pakistan’s ISI has come to the fore, he said. The DGP said key conspirator Lakhbir Singh, a resident of Tarn Taran, is a close associate of gangster-turned-terrorist Harvinder Singh Rinda.

    Rinda is believed to be in Pakistan. Bhawra said the five arrested include those who provided shelter, logistic support and the weapon to those who carried out the explosion.

    The three people involved in firing the rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) are still wanted, he said. The DGP said Tarn Taran resident Nishan Singh, an accused in the case, is already under the custody of the Faridkot police in some other case. He will be arrested in this case too, he said. Nishan Singh is facing several criminal cases, including one related to attempt to murder and another under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

    In an audacious attack on Monday, a rocket-propelled grenade was fired at the state police’s intelligence wing headquarters in Mohali’s Sector 77. Windowpanes on one of the floors of the building were shattered because of the explosion. No one was injured in the incident.

  • Supreme Court refuses to stop Varanasi’s Gyanvapi Mosque survey

    Supreme Court refuses to stop Varanasi’s Gyanvapi Mosque survey

    New Delhi (TIP)- The Supreme Court on Friday, May 13,  declined to immediately stop the survey of Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi, saying the matter would have to be considered in due course. Seeking an urgent intervention from Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana, senior advocate Huzefa Ahmadi pleaded for a status quo in the case pending before the Varanasi civil court, which on Thursday directed a day-to-day survey of a mosque to inspect, conduct videography and collect evidence regarding the alleged existence of Hindu deities inside the mosque located next to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

    “A survey has been directed in relation to the Varanasi property. This is covered under the Places of Worship Act. Now, the court has ordered a court commissioner to conduct a survey. This has been a mosque since time immemorial,” Ahmadi submitted.

    The senior lawyer, who appeared for Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Committee that manages the Gyanvapi mosque, pressed for an order of the status quo.

    But the CJI responded: “We have not seen the papers. We don’t even know what is the matter. I don’t know anything…how can I pass an order. I will read and then pass orders…let me see.”

    In a suit filed jointly by five Hindu women, the Varanasi court last month ordered an inspection of the premises through advocate commissioner Ajai Kumar Mishra. The civil court order was affirmed by the Allahabad high court on April 26.

    The women asked for year-long access to pray at a shrine behind the western wall of the mosque complex. The site is currently opened for prayers once a year. The women also want permission to pray to other “visible and invisible deities within the old temple complex”. Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Committee filed a plea before the civil court to remove the advocate commissioner. A day ago, the civil court ordered a full survey of the Gyanvapi Mosque complex, rejecting the demands of the mosque management to limit the inquiry to certain parts of the precincts and remove the present surveyor. The judge retained Mishra as the advocate commissioner, who was appointed last month to carry out the survey while adding two more lawyers, Vishal Singh and Ajay Pratap Singh, to the commission that will inspect, and conduct videography and collect evidence regarding the alleged existence of Hindu deities. It directed Mishra and Vishal Singh to conduct the survey.

  • India bans wheat exports with immediate effect to control rising domestic prices

    India bans wheat exports with immediate effect to control rising domestic prices

    New Delhi (TIP)- India has banned wheat exports with immediate effect as part of measures to control rising domestic prices, according to official notification. However, the export shipments for which irrevocable letters of credit (LoC) have been issued on or before the date of this notification will be allowed, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said in a notification dated May 13.

    ‘The export policy of wheat … is prohibited with immediate effect…,’ the DGFT said.It also clarified that wheat exports will be allowed on the basis of permission granted by the Government of India to other countries to meet their food security needs and based on the request of their governments.

    In a separate notification, the DGFT announced the easing of export conditions for onion seeds.

    ‘The export policy of onion seeds has been put under the restricted category, with immediate fact,’ it said.

    The export of onion seeds was earlier prohibited. Official data released this week showed that retail inflation surged to an eight-year high in April due to high prices of fuel and food items.

    The ban on exports also comes amid disruption in global wheat supplies due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine which are major exporters of the foodgrain. India’s wheat exports surged to 7 million tonnes, worth USD 2.05 billion, in 2021-22 due to strong global demand. Of the total wheat exports, around 50 per cent of shipments were exported to Bangladesh in the last fiscal, according to the DGFT data.

    The country exported around 963,000 tonnes of wheat this year against 130,000 tonnes in the same period last year.

    India was looking to export 10 million tonnes of wheat in 2022-23. The commerce ministry recently stated that India would send trade delegations to nine countries – Morocco, Tunisia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Algeria and Lebanon  –  to explore possibilities of boosting wheat shipments. India’s wheat purchase have also declined sharply by 44 per cent to 16.2 million tonnes as of May 1 in the current Rabi marketing season due to heavy lifting by private traders and low arrivals in Punjab and Haryana. The government had procured 28.8 million tonnes of wheat in the year-ago period. The rabi marketing season runs from April to March. Private players have bought wheat at a price higher than the minimum support price amid increased demand for the grain for export. The Centre has set a target to procure a record 44.4 million tonnes of wheat in the 2022-23 marketing year as against an all-time high of 43.34 million tonnes in the previous marketing year. Amid lower purchase for the central pool, the Centre has stopped the sale of wheat under the Open Market Sale Scheme (OMSS) to bulk consumers and asked them not to wait for recommencement of the scheme for buying the grain.

  • NIA arrests Chhota Shakeel’s two aides in D-Company case

    New Delhi (TIP)- The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today said it had arrested two close aides of Pakistan-based gangster Chhota Shakeel for allegedly handling the illegal activities and financial transactions of the crime syndicate controlled by fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.

    The accused, identified as Arif Abubakar Shaikh (59) and Shabbir Abubakar Shaikh (51), were arrested on Thursday, May 12, an agency spokesperson said, adding that the former was arrested from Goregaon West in suburban Mumbai, while the latter was held from Mira Road East in Thane district.

    “Both of them were apprehended by a team of the NIA, which is probing the cases against D-Company — Dawood Ibrahim’s syndicate,” the official said, adding that the duo was closely associated with Shakeel and were involved in the cartel run by Ibrahim.

    Of late during searches at multiple locations in Mumbai and Thane, the NIA had also picked up many suspects for investigation, sources said, adding that the arrests of Arif and Shabbir were also in line with the agency’s ongoing probe into the alleged D-Company’s crime syndicate. During their interrogation, the NIA team found that Arif and Shabbir had carried out some transactions with Chhota Shakeel, following which they were arrested.

    The NIA had registered a suo moto case against the Dawood Ibrahim’s crime syndicate on February 3. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Police Organisation has issued a Red Corner Notice against Shakeel.        Source: TNS

  • Supreme Court refuses to stay delimitation process in J&K

    New Delhi (TIP)-  The Supreme court on Friday refused to stay the ongoing delimitation process in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Two Kashmir residents had challenged the government’s decision to constitute a delimitation commission for redrawing the assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies in the Union Territory.

    The delimitation panel had recommended increasing the assembly seats from 83 to 90 in the union territory.

    A bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and MM Sundresh also issued notice to the Centre and Election Commission of India and sought their responses within six weeks and said that the rejoinder affidavit shall be filed in two weeks thereafter.

    The court has slated the hearing for August 30.

    During the hearing, Justice S K Kaul asked the Senior Advocate Ravi Shankar Jandhyala who was appearing for the petitioner, as to why the petition had raised issues on abrogation of article 370, which has essentially challenged the delimitation exercise undertaken in J&K pursuant to the notifications of 2020, 2021 and 2022.

    Justice Kaul stopped the counsel and said, “Be mindful of the language you use. Kashmir has always been a part of the country! Just a special provision was removed.” The bench then noted that the petitioners have not challenged the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution and therefore pleadings concerning Article 370 are to be ignored.

    The Court also asked Jandhyala as to why he had not challenged the constitution of delimitation that was formed two years ago. The counsel responded to this by saying that delimitation is a process to be undertaken only by the Election Commission and not by any other body.

  • Pak-based Jaish behind the killing of Kashmiri Pandit Rahul Bhat

    The terrorists belonging to Pak-based and globally proscribed Jaish-e-Mohammad are suspected to be involved in the killing of the Kashmiri Pandit government employee Rahul Bhat in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam district.  According to intelligence inputs, the Jaish-e-Mohammad group has been desperate to take action against the minority community in order to keep the terror plot boiling. “After the fall of Afghanistan to Islamist Taliban and globally designated Haqqani network the Jaish-e-Mohammad leadership based in Bahawalpur believes that they can also take on the might of Indian security forces,” said a senior security official.

    While the JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar runs a terror factory from Bahawalpur, the Pakistan government for the record has told the FATF that the terror kingpin cannot be located and presumably not in Pakistan. The Jaish-e-Muhammad’s desperation can be gauged by the fact that two of its terrorists were neutralised in an encounter with the security forces which had erupted after a search operation in an area adjacent to the Sunjwan military station in Jammu a fortnight ago. One of the terrorists had also worn a suicidal vest and had planned a suicide attack in Jammu, the security forces had said.

  • hintan ShCivir: Congress moots ‘one family, one ticket’ formula, but waiver for the Gandhis

    Udaipur (TIP)- Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Friday, May 13,  set the ball rolling for comprehensive organisational overhaul saying the party was in dire need of reforms and extraordinary situations called for extraordinary measures. Near-consensus has emerged in the party over the adoption of “one family, one ticket” formula, with waivers for leaders with an exceptional track record in an organisational role for at least five years. The waiver would cover the party’s ruling Gandhi family where party chief Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul have both been contesting Lok Sabha elections. Under the waiver, even AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra would have qualified for the ticket by the 2024 General Election. She assumed charge as the UP general secretary in January 2019. Kick-starting the three-day ‘Chintan Shivir’ of the party here, Sonia acknowledged serial electoral setbacks and the need for the Congress to change the way it worked, even as she assailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “keeping India in a state of permanent polarisation, brutalising minorities and resorting to wholesale reinvention of history”. Sonia’s crisp 16-minute speech delivered mixed messages on issues confronting the nation and challenges confronting the Congress.

    With G-23 members Ghulam Nabi Azad and Anand Sharma seated in the front alongside Rahul Gandhi, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot and Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, Sonia said cadre unity and collective effort was the only way forward to the party’s revival. The Congress chief questioned the PM on economic downslide and non-fulfilment of promises to farmers, calling upon the party to “fight the virus of divisiveness at all costs”. But it was the issue of Congress’ organisational atrophy that Sonia flagged most deeply, terming it “the most fundamental issue”.

    “The circumstances our organisation faces today are unprecedented. Such extraordinary situations demand extraordinary measures. Every organisation to live and prosper must reform itself. We are in dire need of reforms–changes in strategy, improvement in the organisation and transformation in the way Congress functions on a daily basis,” she said to 422 delegates who were made to pack off cell-phones in hired lockers to prevent leaks to the media, as they proceeded to commence panel discussions at a posh local resort here.

    By Chirag Daruwalla – Son of Astrologer Bejan Daruwalla

    May 23

    Ganesha says your shy nature may not increase the count of your social circle but your impregnable ideas and highly authoritative capability of taking your conclusions will help you to handle the steering of your life in a systematic way. Your associates and colleagues try to match up with your style of working but fail to get success in it. But the most important thing, you must abide by all the rules and regulations at your workplace so that nobody can ever have a chance to pinpoint you at your flaws. Don’t indulge yourself into nasty office politics and gossiping as it could tarnish your image anytime.

  • Ukraine accuses Russiaof forcibly deporting over 2 lakh children

    Ukraine accuses Russiaof forcibly deporting over 2 lakh children

    Kyiv (TIP): Ukraine said on May 13 Russia had forcibly deported more than 210,000 children since its invasion on Feb. 24 and accused Moscow of wanting to make them Russian citizens. Human rights ombudswoman LyudmylaDenisova said the children were among 1.2 million Ukrainians who Kyiv says have been deported against their will.

    Reuters could not independently verify the figure given by Denisova or her allegations, for which she did not provide supporting evidence. The Kremlin did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on Denisova’s allegations concerning the deportation of large numbers of children and other Ukrainian nationals.

    Moscow has denied intentionally targeting civilians since launching what it calls a special military operation in Ukraine and says it is offering humanitarian aid to those who want to leave Russia. “When our children are taken out, they destroy the national identity, deprive our country of the future,” Denisova said on national television.

    “They teach our children there, in Russian, the history that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin has told everyone.” Russia has referred to “refugees” coming to Russia to escape fighting, particularly from the southern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which is in Russian hands after weeks of siege and bombardment. The 1949 Geneva Conventions, which define international legal standards for humanitarian treatment in conflict, prohibit mass forcible transfers of civilians during a conflict to the territory of the occupying power, classifying it as a war crime.

  • Ukraine pushes Russian forces back, restricts gas flow to Europe

    Ukraine pushes Russian forces back, restricts gas flow to Europe

    Kyiv/Vilhivka (TIP): Ukrainian forces reported battlefield gains on May 11 in a counterattack that could signal a shift in the momentum of the war, while Kyiv shut gas flows on a route through Russian-held territory, raising the spectre of an energy crisis in Europe. Following days of advances north and east of the second largest city Kharkiv, Ukrainian forces were within just several kilometres of the Russian border on Wednesday morning, one Ukrainian military source said on condition on anonymity. Before the advance, Russian forces had been on the outskirts of Kharkiv, 40 km (25 miles) from the border.

    The gains appear to be the fastest that Ukraine has achieved since it drove Russian troops away from Kyiv and out of the country’s north at the beginning of April. If sustained, it could let Ukrainian forces threaten supply lines for Russia’s main attack force, and even put rear logistics targets within Russia itself within striking range of Ukrainian artillery.

    In Vilhivka, a village east of Kharkiv held by Ukrainian forces, the thump of near constant artillery and swoosh of multiple rocket launchers could be heard from fighting at the front, now pushed substantially further east, where Ukraine has been trying to capture villages on the banks of the Donets river and threaten Russian supply lines on the far side.

    Further east, Ukrainian forces seemed to be in control of the village of Rubizhne, on the banks of the Donets.

    “It is burned out, just like all Russian tanks,” a Ukrainian soldier told Reuters near Rubizhne next to the ruins of one Russian tank. “The weapons are helping a lot, the anti-tank ones.”

    KHARKIV ADVANCE

    Kyiv has so far confirmed few details about its advance through the Kharkiv region, maintaining secrecy about the positions of its own forces near the frontline while speaking in general terms about overall gains.

    “We are having successes in the Kharkiv direction, where we are steadily pushing back the enemy and liberating population centres,” Brigadier General OleksiyHromov, Deputy Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of Ukraine’s General Staff told a briefing, providing no specifics.

    President VolodymyrZelenskiy said successes were putting Ukraine’s second largest city – under constant bombardment since the war’s early days – beyond the range of Russian artillery.  (Reuters)

  • Kim Jong-un’s lookalike disrupts Australian election campaign; extends support to Gladys Liu, the candidate opposite PM Morrison

    Kim Jong-un’s lookalike disrupts Australian election campaign; extends support to Gladys Liu, the candidate opposite PM Morrison

    Sydney (TIP): A man impersonating North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on May 13 disrupted the Australian election campaign when he burst into an event that Prime Minister Scott Morrison was attending with lawmaker Gladys Liu.

    The impersonator, who later identified himself by the stage name Howard X, started talking to the gathered media.

    “Thank you very much. Gladys Liu is the communist candidate for Australia,” he said, before he was interrupted by an aide to Morrison. “Excuse me, you are going to have to leave. This is the most offensive thing I have ever seen in a campaign,” said the aide, Nick Creevey.

    The impersonator responded: “Excuse me, you don’t tell the supreme leader what to do. I support Gladys Liu.” The impersonator left the Melbourne venue soon after.

    In a statement to The Associated Press, Liu said she was focused on delivering outcomes for the Melbourne communities she represents. “I will not be distracted by my opponents and their grubby tactics,” she said.

    The disruption appeared to have been orchestrated in part by longshot Queensland State senate candidate Drew Pavlou, who said on social media that he was good friends with Howard X and it was “one of the best things we have ever managed.” Pavlou had earlier claimed in posts that Liu had defended China’s leadership and had ties to the regime. Pavlou described himself as a “young larrikin” who thought the election was boring and needed more excitement. During the event at Extel Technologies in Melbourne, Morrison praised Chinese Australians.

    “I talk about the assertive and aggressive nature of the Chinese government, not the Chinese people,” Morrison said. “You know, Chinese Australians are the greatest patriots you could hope for in this country.”

    The disruption came at a time of heightened tensions between Australia and China, most recently over a security pact that China signed with the Solomon Islands.

    Howard X is well-known for his impersonation of Kim Jong-un. In 2018, he was detained and questioned when he arrived in Singapore days before a summit between the North Korean leader and former US president Donald Trump. His real name is Lee Howard Ho Wun.

    Media reported the impersonator was being interviewed by police on Friday.

    Australia’s election will be held on May 21 and early voting began this week. Opinion polls have the centre-left opposition Labour Party tracking ahead of Morrison’s conservative coalition.  (AP)

  • Russian spy boss compares US to German Nazi propaganda machine

    Mariupol, Ukraine (TIP): A Russian spy chief on May 11 compared the US State Department to the World War II Nazi propaganda machine constructed by Joseph Goebbels, saying Washington had launched an anti-Russia messaging campaign across social media.

    Sergei Naryshkin, head of Russia’s foreign intelligence agency (SVR), said the United States was encouraging the spreading of fake information on the popular Telegram messaging service in an attempt to “discredit” and “dehumanise Russia’s political and military leadership in the eyes of the Russian people”.

    “Their actions have a lot in common with the traditions of the Third Reich’s ministry of public education and propaganda and its head Joseph Goebbels,” Naryshkin said in a statement published on the SVR website.

    Naryshkin provided no evidence to support the claims of a US-backed information campaign. Russia regularly accuses the West of funding and supporting anti-Kremlin movements and has labelled dozens of independent human rights groups and media outlets in Russia “foreign agents” over recent years.

  • Russia-Ukraine War: Indian embassy to resume operations in Kyiv from May 17

    Kyiv (TIP): India on May 13 announced that its embassy in Ukraine would resume its operation from the Ukrainian capital Kyiv from May 17. The embassy was temporarily operating from Warsaw in Poland since mid-March.

    “The Indian Embassy in Ukraine, which was temporarily operating out of Warsaw (Poland), would be resuming its operation in Kyiv with effect from May 17,” the Ministry of External Affairs said.

    It said the embassy was temporarily relocated to Warsaw on March 13. The decision to resume operation of the embassy from Kyiv came amid decisions by several Western powers to reopen their missions in the Ukrainian capital.

    India had decided to temporarily relocate the embassy to Poland in view of the rapidly deteriorating security situation in the war-torn country, including the Russian military offensive around Kyiv.

    India relocated the embassy after bringing back over 20,000 of its nationals from across Ukraine under its evacuation mission ‘Operation Ganga’ that was launched on February 26 in the wake of the war in Ukraine. (PTI)

  • North Korea reports first Covid-19 outbreak, orders lockdown in ‘gravest emergency’

    Seoul (TIP): North Korea confirmed its first COVID-19 outbreak on May 12, calling it the “gravest national emergency” and ordering a national lockdown, with state media reporting an Omicron variant had been detected in Pyongyang.

    The first public admission of COVID infections highlights the potential for a major crisis in a country that has refused international help with vaccinations and kept its borders shut.

    As of March, no cases of COVID-19 have been reported, according to the World Health Organization, and there is no official record of any North Koreans having been vaccinated.

    “A most serious emergency case of the state occurred: A break was made on our emergency epidemic prevention front where has firmly defended for two years and three months from February, 2020,” official KCNA news agency said. Samples taken on May 8 from people in Pyongyang who were experiencing fevers showed a sub-variant of the Omicron virus, also known as BA.2, the report said, without providing details on case numbers or possible sources of infection. The report was published after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un led a Workers’ Party meeting on Thursday to discuss responses to the outbreak

    Kim ordered all cities and counties of the country to “strictly lock down” their regions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and said emergency reserve medical supplies would be mobilised, according to KCNA.

    “The state epidemic prevention work shall be switched over to the maximum emergency epidemic prevention system,” KCNA said.

    Although the North has never before confirmed a single coronavirus infection in the country, officials in South Korea and the United States have doubted that the country is COVID-free, as cases of the Omicron variant were widely reported in neighbouring South Korea and China.

    The isolated North has enforced strict quarantine measures, including border lockdowns, since the pandemic began in early 2020. In July that year, Kim declared an emergency and imposed a lockdown on Kaesong, near the inter-Korean border, for three weeks after a man who defected to the South in 2017 returned to the city showing coronavirus symptoms.

    According to the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO), 64,207 of North Korea’s more than 24.7 million people received COVID-19 testing; all had been found negative as of March 31.

    North Korea has declined shipments of vaccine from the COVAX global COVID-19 vaccine-sharing programme and the Sinovac Biotech vaccine from China, suggesting no civilians may have been vaccinated.

    South Korea’s presidential office told Reuters that President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was sworn in on May 10, will not link humanitarian aid to the political situation, opening the door to providing support to the North.

    The news of the outbreak comes amid reports of preparations for an imminent nuclear test by the North, which has also aggressively pursued a ballistic missile programme, according to US and South Korean officials. (Reuters)

  • Imran Khan warns Pakistan government of dire consequences if poll dates are not announced

    Imran Khan warns Pakistan government of dire consequences if poll dates are not announced

    Islamabad (TIP): Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has warned that if a date for the general elections is not announced, the “sea of people” heading towards Islamabad would be detrimental to the interests of the government, media reports said. The PTI Chairman has held a series of ‘jalsas’ in different cities, including Karachi, Mianwali, Lahore and Peshawar, as he rallies his party workers and leaders against the government ahead of the proposed march to Islamabad. In his address during the Mardanjalsa, Khan said he is calling the people to Islamabad for a “revolution” that seeks “real independence” for Pakistan.

    “From here, I am giving a message to the corrupt thugs… and the convict should also hear this: You will not make decisions for the country, but the citizens will decide who will rule Pakistan,” Khan said. The PTI Chairman reiterated that the United States had “conspired” against his regime, while the current government’s “Mir Sadiqs and Mir Jafars” were involved in it. Khan said when he came to know about the “conspiracy”, he went to the “people who could stop it”. “I told them that if this conspiracy succeeds, our economy will falter given its current condition,” he said.

    The ex-Prime Minister said he asked former Finance Minister ShaukatTarin to tell those who “call themselves neutral” that the economy will collapse, but unfortunately, they did not do anything.

    “The dollar is nearing Rs 200, the stock market is plunging, everything is becoming expensive… the media should ask the people how expensive things are as they would do during our government,” Khan said. IANS

  • Sherpa woman climbs Everest for 10th time, breaks own record

    Kathmandu (TIP): A Nepali Sherpa broke her own record as the most successful female climber of Mount Everest by reaching the summit of the world’s highest peak on May 12. Lakpa Sherpa and several other climbers took advantage of favourable weather to reach the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) summit early in the morning, her brother and expedition organiserMingmaGelu said. He said she was in good health and was safely descending from the peak.

    Sherpa, 48, never got a chance to get a formal education because she had to start earning a living by carrying climbing gear and supplies for trekkers. Thursday’s successful ascent was her 10th — the most times any woman has climbed Everest — and she has always said she wanted to inspire all women so they too can achieve their dreams.

    A native of Nepal, Sherpa lives in the US with her three children in West Hartford, Connecticut.

    Another Nepalese Sherpa guide, Kami Rita, reached the summit for the 26th time on Saturday, breaking his own record for the most climbs of Everest. Rita led a group of Sherpa climbers who fixed ropes along the route so that hundreds of other climbers and guides can make their way to the top of the mountain later this month.

    Hundreds of foreign climbers and an equal number of Sherpa guides are set to attempt climbs of Everest in May, the month when weather conditions in the Himalayan peaks are most favorable for climbing. (AP)

  • Tibet Airlines’ plane in China veers off runway, catches fire; over 40 injured

    Beijing (TIP): Over 40 people were injured when a passenger plane of China’s Tibet Airlines with 122 people on board veered off the runway and caught fire while taking off in the country’s southwest Chongqing city on May 12.

    All 113 passengers and nine crew members aboard the flight from Chongqing to Nyingchi in the Tibet Autonomous Region had been safely evacuated, Tibet Airlines said.

    Over 40 people who sustained minor injuries had been hospitalised, China Global Television Network (CGTN) reported. Video footage posted by China Central Television (CCTV) showed flames and billowing black smoke from the fuselage of the Tibet Airlines plane on the tarmac at Chongqing Jiangbei international airport, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported. People could be seen running from the plane after escaping via an evacuation slide at the rear door. (PTI)

  • Sri Lanka opposition, protesters vow to continue anti-government campaign

    Colombo (TIP): Sri Lanka’s main opposition party joined anti-government protesters on May 13 in rejecting the appointment of a new prime minister, and insisted the president resign because of the country’s disastrous economic crisis. President GotabayaRajapaksa appointed veteran opposition politician RanilWickremesinghe as prime minister late on Thursday, but the comments signalled it was not likely to resolve the political and economic disarray in the strategic Indian Ocean island nation.

    A week of violent clashes between protesters and government supporters across the country has left 9 people dead and over 300 injured. The president’s elder brother, MahindaRajapaksa, quit as prime minister on Monday as violence spiralled and is in hiding in a military base.

    The rest of the cabinet had quit earlier.

    “It is clear the (new) prime minister is remote controlled by the president,” said EranWickramaratne, a parliamentarian and senior member of the main opposition party, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya. “This country wants the Rajapaksas to go home. We are committed to that goal.”
