‘Forcefully thrown out..’: Ex-Karnataka CM Jagadish Shettar joins Congress
[ad_1]
Bengaluru: Senior BJP leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar on Monday joined the Congress ahead of the May 10 Assembly elections in the state.
He joined the party in the presence of AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, General Secretaries K C Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala (Karnataka in-charge), KPCC president D K Shivakumar and Legislature Party leader and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, among others.
Shettar on Sunday had resigned as the Hubli-Dharwad (Central) MLA after the BJP denied him the ticket to contest the Assembly polls.

The 67-year old six-time MLA, Shettar was asked by the BJP top brass to make way for others, but he on his part had asserted he wanted to contest one last time.
After joining the Congress, Shettar alleged that he had been humiliated by the BJP by denying him a ticket and that party is today in the control of “very few people.”
“I was forcefully thrown out of the party that I built…I’m joining the Congress by accepting its ideology and principles,” he told reporters.
On his arrival in Bengaluru from Hubballi on Sunday night, Shettar had held discussions with Congress leaders Surjewala, Shivakumar, Siddaramaiah, former minister and campaign committee chief M B Patil and veteran party leader Shamanur Shivashankarappa (Shettar’s relative).
This decision of Shettar, a prominent Lingayat leader from north Karnataka, may adversely impact the BJP’s prospects in a number of segments in the region, according to political observers.
Shettar, a veteran BJP leader whose family has been associated with the party since Jana Sangh days, is an influential leader from its bastion of Kittur Karnataka region. While in the BJP he had served as a Minister, Speaker, Leader of the Opposition and the chief minister.

Centre ‘forcefully stopped Pfizer’s COVID vaccine: KCR hits out at Modi-govt
[ad_1]

Nanded: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has alleged that the Central government did everything possible to “forcefully” prevent import of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, especially when people were ready to get the best vaccine.
Rao claimed that he and several other Chief Ministers had lobbied for Pfizer in India, but the PM Modi Government stalled the entry of the US pharmaceutical giant into India.
The Chief Minister’s remark at his recent rally in Maharashtra’s Nanded came days after Union Minister of State for Electronics and Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar claimed that Pfizer had “tried to bully the Indian government into accepting an indemnity clause for supplying its mRNA COVID vaccine”.
MoS Chandrasekhar, shared a tweet of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla during the World Economic Forum in Davos in which the pharma company official stated that senior leaders in the Opposition had put pressure on the Centre to procure foreign-made vaccines during the pandemic rather than choosing Made in India vaccines.
Addressing a press conference in Maharashtra’s Nanded on Sunday, KCR said that “Make in India” has become a “Joke in India.”
“Today many multinational companies are leaving China, but why are we not able to attract them? Why are those companies not turning towards us? If Make in India would have been right, ease of doing would have been right, if they were feasible, then why were not allowed to come to India?“There is a company namely Pfizer, which manufactures vaccines, it was stopped from entering India during COVID-19. No matter how hard the company tried but they (the Centre) did not allow them to come here. What was the reason?” questioned the Telangana chief minister.
“While the public wanted to get the best vaccine, people also wanted to buy it, yet the company was stopped forcefully. We also tried, many Chief Ministers also had talks with PMO and Niti Aayog but they (Govt) did not allow them (Pfizer) to come,” KCR said.
KCR claimed that several multinational companies which were leaving China, like Pfizer, were being prevented from entering India and the Central government was promoting slogans of ‘Make in India’ to encourage crony capitalism and mislead people.
“Where is the environment in India? Do we have an environment of Make in India like the slogans they are giving? Do we have ease of doing business? Are we provided with the facilities? If there is, then why are we are not able to get international companies?” he asked.
Taking a dig at the Centre, KCR further alleged, “They will work for those who are their friends. Will inflate their stock market, why will they let others to come?”
But the Central government had said that they will not buy the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and Moderna because indigenous vaccines will be more affordable and easier to store.
India was in discussions with US companies Pfizer and Moderna in 2021 for the supply of these international vaccines but their terms and conditions were not accepted ultimately by India. The Centre declined to meet the requests by the US pharma firms for legal protection over any side effects from the use of their vaccines, which are widely used in the United States and Europe.
However, India successfully vaccinated its citizens, with “Made in India” vaccines under its nationwide vaccination drive, under which over 220.16 crore doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in the two years since its launch.
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya recently tweeted that India’s feat was the “world’s largest and most successful vaccination drive.” He saluted the efforts of doctors and other healthcare workers on the front line who made this achievement possible.

More than 3,000 Afghan refugees ‘forcefully’ deported by Iran
[ad_1]
Kabul: More than 3,000 Afghan refugees have been deported from Iran in a recent move through Islam Qala and Pule Abrishum borders to the country, Khaama Press reported on Thursday.
The forceful deportation and detention of Afghan refugees continue to take place as around 3,123 Afghan migrants have been expelled from Iran on January 24 and 25 recently, according to the Taliban-led Ministry of Refugee and Repatriation of Afghanistan.
The Ministry of Refugees announced that 3,123 Afghan migrants have been expelled from Iran on January 24th and 25th respectively. In the recent past in Iran, Afghan nationals have been detained and forcefully deported to Afghanistan.
Numerous Afghans left the country out of concern for their life and the dreadful economic conditions that the nation had already fallen into under the previous rule. Over four million Afghans currently live in Iran, according to the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
However, the Taliban officials have said that returnees have entered Afghanistan through Herat and Nimruz provinces, and have called on Iranian officials to treat Afghan refugees with decency.
Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August last year, thousands of Afghans fled the nation out of fear of Taliban persecution and death. The two nations that border Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan, experienced waves of mass migration after the Taliban regained control, Khaama Press reported.
One of the main reasons behind the rising number of Afghan immigrants in Iran is the political instability and economic crisis in Afghanistan. Since its ascent to power in Kabul, the Islamic group imposed policies severely restricting basic rights–particularly those of women and girls.
According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), the Taliban dismissed all women from leadership posts in the civil service and prohibited girls in most provinces from attending secondary school.
Time and again, the Afghan refugees who fled to Iran and other neighbouring nations have expressed frustration over the challenges they faced.
