    Washington: US President Joe Biden has announced his intent to appoint two prominent Indian-Americans corporate leaders, Punit Renjen and Rajesh Subramaniam, to his powerful Export Council which is the principal national advisory committee on international trade.

    The president on Tuesday announced a list of members he intends to appoint to the the council, according to a White House press release.

    Renjen, the former CEO of Deloitte Consulting and Subramaniam, CEO and president of FedEx, have their names on the list of members the president intends to appoint as members of the influential President’s Export Council.

    The council will be headed by Mark Edin, chairman of Kastle Systems.

    On December 31 last, 62-year-old Renjen retired as Deloitte Global CEO after having served in the role since June 2015.

    He now serves as Deloitte Global CEO Emeritus. Under his leadership, Deloitte launched WorldClass a global effort to prepare 100 million underprivileged people for a world of opportunity based on the belief that business thrives when society thrives, the White House said.

    Subramaniam, 55, is chair of the five-person Executive Committee, which plans and executes the corporation’s strategic business activities.

    He is also chair of the FedEx Strategic Management Committee, a select group of the company’s top leadership, which sets the strategic direction for the enterprise.
    Before being named President and CEO-elect in March 2022, he was President and Chief Operating Officer of FedEx Corporation. Previously, Subramaniam held various leadership roles in operations and marketing across the FedEx portfolio of operating companies.

    Subramaniam serves on the board of directors of FedEx Corporation, the Procter & Gamble Company, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s China Center Advisory Board, FIRST, US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, and the US-China Business Council, and a member of the US-India CEO Forum.

    According to the source, Telangana BJP president Sanjay Bandi, state in-charge Tarun Chug and other Telangana BJP leaders will be present in the meeting.

    As the Telangana assembly elections are scheduled to be held this year, the party has geared up its preparations.

    The party is running several programmes to connect the people and increase its reach to the grassroots such as Praja Gosha BJP Bharosa and Praja Sangram yatra and through these campaigns, the party is getting massive positive response from the public and as per the source, the party will discuss how to strengthen the party on booth level.

    BJP has successfully done 11000 public meeting outreach programmes in the state under Bandi Sanjay.

    According to the sources, a state presidential election will be held soon as the BJP president Sanjay Bandi’s term is going to end in the first week of March, but another source from the party speculated that his term as the party President would be extended.

    Earlier in the national executive meeting, Sanjay was the centre of attraction as Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Praja Sangram Yatra and asked all the states to learn from his journey and appreciated his struggle and hard work.

  • Leaders of House China panel condemn attack on Rep. Judy Chu

    Leaders of House China panel condemn attack on Rep. Judy Chu

    [ad_1]

    asian pacific american history pelosi 02048

    Speaking last week on Fox News, Gooden said of Chu: “I question her either loyalty or competence.” Gooden, who was responding to her defense of Biden appointee Dominic Ng, also told host Jesse Watters that Chu should be barred from access to classified information.

    Chu, who was born in Los Angeles, called Gooden’s statements “racist.” “It is based on false information spread by an extreme, right-wing website,” Chu said. “Furthermore, it is racist. I very much doubt that he would be spreading these lies were I not of Chinese American descent.”

    Gallagher is the chair of a new House select committee focused on China’s ruling Communist Party and Krishnamoorthi is the panel’s ranking Democrat. Both discussed the criticism of Chu in light of their committee’s mission.

    “Absolutely, we shouldn’t question anybody’s loyalty,” Gallagher added. “And going forward, I think what’s critical and the reason we actually got the committee renamed to focus on the Chinese Communist Party, is to constantly make that distinction between the party and the people.”

    Krishnamoorthi concurred.

    “The Chinese Communist Party loves it when we are internally fractious and they like it when we are stereotyping. We have to avoid that,” he said.

    As for the work of the committee, which is designed to examine possible threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party, Gallagher said he expects to find a certain amount of bipartisan support for its efforts.

    “I want both sides in some way to look to the committee as the area for the most forward-leaning, innovative, and bipartisan policy and legislation on China,” he said.

    Host Margaret Brennan asked Gallagher how the American people can be sure the panel doesn’t end up as being seen as persecuting people, as in the 1950s loyalty hearings led by Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.).

    “Joseph McCarthy’s from my district, he’s buried in my district; we need not exhume his body and reanimate it,” Gallagher said, adding: “We must constantly be aware of going overboard as we try and win this competition with China.”

  • Ahead of Sisodia’s CBI questioning, AAP leaders allege house arrest

    Ahead of Sisodia’s CBI questioning, AAP leaders allege house arrest

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Ahead of the questioning of Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia in the excise policy scam by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday alleged that its leaders were being put under ‘house arrest’.

    The Delhi Police have made elaborate security arrangements to stop all untoward incidents.

    The AAP leaders, however, alleged that they “have been kept under house arrest by the police”.

    The Delhi Police have put barricades at Lodhi Colony roads which leads to the CBI headquarters and no one is being allowed to go that side. Apart from this, the police have also put barricades outside Sisodia’s house and office and have deployed extra force to stop people going on that side.

    At Lodhi Colony even the media was stopped by the police personnel posted over there.

    The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has called it a tactic of the agencies to arrest Sisodia.

    Sanjay Singh, the Rajya Sabha MP of AAP, has alleged that at the instructions of the Centre, agencies want to arrest Sisodia.

    AAP MLA Atishi said that the BJP was trying to stop them, and that the allegations levelled on Sisodia were vague.

    “Our leaders have been stopped at their house by the Delhi Police. Our leaders are in house arrest. We can’t come out of our houses. Delhi police are being misused by the Centre,” said Atishi.

    Sisodia was earlier asked to appear before the CBI on February 19, but he sought a deferment by one week as he was giving final touches to Delhi’s budget.

    The CBI accepted his request and issued him a second notice to join the probe on February 26.

    He is likely to reach CBI headquarters by 11 a.m.

    Amit Shah to flag off 'Gujarat Gaurav Yatra' in Ahmedabad today

    Bellary: Union Home Minister Amit Shah has directed the partymen in Hyderabad-Karnataka region to reach out to voters without bothering about mining baron Janardhana Reddy, who has launched a new party, sources stated on Friday.

    Amit Shah had given this assurance in the core committee meeting of BJP leaders from four districts of Hyderabad-Karnataka region also known as Kalyan Karnataka on Thursday.

    Janardhan Reddy, a former BJP leader, has now launched his own party Kalyan Karnataka Pragathi Paksha (KKJP). Actively campaigning in Bellary, Vijayanagara, Koppal and Raichur districts, he had announced that no one could stop him by raiding his firms. His statements followed ED and IT raids on his firms.

    The BJP leaders and legislators from the region informed Amit Shah that Janardhana Reddy announced his candidature from Gangavathi constituency. Somashekara Reddy, present BJP MLA from Bellary city, brother of Janardhana Reddy has informed that Reddy is pitching his wife Aruna Lakshmi from Bellary city constituency.

    The leaders told Amit Shah that Janardhana Reddy’s factor might give a challenging situation for BJP and benefit Congress party.

    Sources explained that Amit Shah has directed the party leaders not to bother about Janardhana Reddy factor in the region. He told them that he is very much there and he will deal appropriately with the situation.

    He also asked the party leaders to focus on building the party in their respective regions from the grassroots level.

  • Imran Khan’s party files petition in court, seeks release of detained leaders

    Imran Khan’s party files petition in court, seeks release of detained leaders

    [ad_1]

    Lahore/Peshawar: Fearing that the notorious intelligence agencies may torture senior Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf politicians at undisclosed locations, ousted premier Imran Khan’s party on Thursday filed a petition in a court seeking the release of the leaders who offered their arrests under the mass court arrest movement a day earlier.

    The interim Punjab government on Thursday confirmed that police had arrested 81 PTI activists, including former federal ministers Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Asad Umar and Hammad Azhar, Senators Azam Swati and Waleed Iqbal (grandson of poet of Allama Iqbal) and former Punjab governor Omar Sarfraz Cheema. Khan’s party, however, insists that around 250 party workers have been detained by police in Lahore.

    Initially, all the arrested PTI supporters were shifted to Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore but later its leaders were shifted to an ‘undisclosed location’.

    Since neither the government nor the Punjab police confirmed the location of the detained leaders, the party and the families of the arrested leaders on Thursday filed a petition in the Lahore High Court seeking their “safe recovery/release.”

    Zain Qureshi, son of former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, said neither his father nor other leaders were presented before any court of law on Thursday nor the Punjab government and police are disclosing which jail they have been taken to.

    The petitioners said the lives of PTI leaders are at stake at the hands of the government and police.

    “If the detainees are not released from the illegal and unlawful detention, they may suffer an irreparable loss and injury,” they said and added that the arrested PTI leaders may be booked in false and frivolous cases in order to cause them maximum harm.

    The PTI leadership is wary of the treatment meted out to the detained leaders.

    Earlier, Senator Azam Swati had alleged that some senior ISI officers had inflicted severe torture on him while he was in police custody.

    The PTI is fearing a similar situation in the case of these arrested senior leaders.

    A Punjab police officer said that Qureshi has been shifted to Attock Jail while the other senior leaders are kept in different jails in Punjab.

    Khan’s party on Wednesday began a mass court arrest movement from Lahore over what it called the violation of fundamental rights, abuse of the Constitution and the economic meltdown.

    According to the party, every day a few hundred PTI workers and leaders will present themselves for arrest from different cities.

    On Thursday, party workers and leaders presented themselves for arrest in Peshawar. “Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders, workers and people left for (Peshawar) Central Jail in large numbers,” the party said.

    The mass court arrest movement will continue till the date for elections in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa are not announced, a party leader said.

    The PTI dissolved its governments in Punjab and Kyber-Pakhtaunkhawa provinces over a month ago. Under the Constitution, elections must be held within 90 days after the dissolution of an assembly.

    The PML-N-led nine-party government has said that holding separate elections for the provincial and national assemblies is not possible because of the economic crisis and the law and order situation.

    Khan, who was ousted as prime minister in April last year after a no-confidence motion was passed in the National Assembly, is seeking fresh general elections in Pakistan.

    Khan has said that he has started the “Jail Bharo Tehreek” (court arrest movement) for Haqeeqi Azadi for two main reasons. “One, it is a peaceful, non-violent protest against the attack on our constitutionally-guaranteed fundamental rights. We are facing sham FIRs & National Accountability Bureau cases, custodial torture, attacks on journalists & social.”

    He said the drive was against the economic meltdown “brought on by a cabal of crooks who have money laundered billions in looted wealth & gotten the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) (deal) for themselves while crushing the people, especially the poor and middle class, under the burden of spiralling inflation and rising unemployment.”

    Khan urged the people to take to the streets to get “true freedom”.

  • Assam police arrest Congress’ Pawan Khera; party leaders protest

    Assam police arrest Congress’ Pawan Khera; party leaders protest

    [ad_1]

    Congress leader Pawan Khera was arrested at the Delhi airport on Thursday after being deplaned from a trip to Chattisgarh’s Around 50 members of Congress staged a protest on the tarmac, refusing to allow the aeroplane to take off.

    Pawan Khera, a prominent Congress spokesperson, was compelled to board another flight. He was traveling to Raipur with a large group of Congress leaders for an All India Congress Committee conference (AICC).

    He was apprehended at the airport by Assam Police, who arrived with an FIR, or First Information Report. He will be presented in a Delhi court and will be taken to Assam on transit remand, ANI reported.

    Several of Congress leaders walked off the plane and protested on the tarmac at Delhi International Airport, chanting slogans and conducting a sit-in directly close to the jet.

    During a recent news conference, Khera misspelled Prime Minister Modi’s name when calling for a joint parliamentary investigation into the Adani-Hindenburg row.

    “If Narasimha Rao could form a JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee), if Atal Bihari Vajpayee could form a JPC, then what problem does Narendra Gautam Das…sorry Damodardas…Modi have?” he said, appearing to fumble upon the middle name with a colleague sitting beside him.

    The BJP has demanded Khera’s arrest on charges of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After a BJP representative submitted a police complaint, an FIR was lodged.

    Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on February 20 called the remarks ‘pathetic’.

    “Make no mistake- pathetic remarks by courtier Pawan Khera on PM’s father have blessings of the top levels of Congress, which is full of entitlement and disdain against a person of humble origins being PM. India will not forget or forgive these horrible remarks of Congressmen,” Himanta had tweeted.

    IndiGo Airline in a statement said: “A passenger was deplaned by the police at the Delhi airport from Raipur-bound flight 6E 204. Some other passengers have also decided to deboard on their own accord. We are following the advice of the concerned authorities. The flight is delayed as of now and we regret the inconvenience caused to other passengers.”

    Khera stated that he was initially informed that there was a problem with his luggage. “I was told that there was a problem with my luggage, despite the fact that I just had hand luggage. They said you couldn’t fly. The DCP (Deputy Commissioner of Police) will thereafter meet with you. I’ve been anticipating this moment for quite some time. There is no indication of law and order “He stated.

    The grand old party reacted very strongly to the development. Party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate called it ‘dictatorship’.

    “Assam Police is arresting Pawan Kheda ji and taking him away. What crime has he committed that he has been arrested? If this is not dictatorship then what is?” she said.

    “Modi government is acting like a bunch of goons by deplaning Pawan Khera from the Delhi-Raipur flight and preventing him from joining the AICC Plenary. Using a flimsy FIR to restrict his movement and silence him is a shameful, unacceptable act. The entire party stands with Pawan ji,” Senior Congress leader KC Venugopal tweeted KC Venugopal.

  • Talking to Indian leaders before UN vote on Ukraine: French diplomatic sources

    Talking to Indian leaders before UN vote on Ukraine: French diplomatic sources

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Ahead of the voting on the UN’s draft resolution on Ukraine, the French diplomatic sources on Tuesday said they were in contact with political leaders in New Delhi but were not very hopeful that India will not abstain.

    The UN General Assembly will vote this week on the draft resolution underscoring the urgency to find lasting peace in Ukraine, a year after Moscow invaded its neighbour.

    On a question, if India would again abstain from voting in UNGA on the Ukraine-Russia conflict, they said India is not very likely to join one side or another but they are “working on it”.

    “It’s always a question of balance…We do have contact with the political leaders of India. At this stage, we still don’t know what will be the position of the government. Most likely it will be abstention but we are still working on it. We have a very candid discussion with them. There is no secret agenda or whatever. So then it’s their decision,” a French diplomatic source said.

    India has mostly abstained on resolutions related to the Russia-Ukraine war in the UN, including in the Security Council, General Assembly and the Human Rights Council.

    India has repeatedly called on Russia and Ukraine to return to the path of diplomacy and dialogue and end their ongoing conflict.

    Calling India a major player in the Ukraine-Russia issue, they said France and India have a “very fruitful” partnership and a history of intense political dialogue, allowing a “very fruitful” partnership and history of intense political dialogue which allows them to discuss all issues, even the complex ones.

    Noting that France and the EU and India were not on the “exact same position” on the Ukraine issue, the source said,”but you may also have noticed that there were some slight changes in the public statement made by Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi about the world saying this is not the era of war.”

    “It was a very important statement by the Prime Minister…We are aligned that we all want to reduce the risk of escalation and we all want to try to find the way towards peace and on that, India is also very clear,” the diplomatic source added.

    The source said the ties between India and Russia can be used as a channel to work toward peace.

    “And as you know, there is an important link between the Indian and Russian governments, and we ask the Indian government to use these links with the Russian counterparts to help us in a way towards peace. It’s a long way. It’s a long process,” the source said.

    “But yes, we do have this kind of discussion on a very frequent basis with India,” the source said.

    The source said it is also important to remember that for the EU, this war on Ukraine is not a way to lose focus on the Indo-Pacific issues.

    “We still have an important Indo-Pacific agenda,” the source said.

    On the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the French diplomatic sources said France has made it very clear that Russia “cannot and must not win this war”.

    “So we are ready to face an extended conflict in Ukraine and we are prepared to support in the long run and as long as needed Ukraine in defending its own territory,” the source said.

    “This being said, we have always been very attentive to keep the channels open with Moscow,” the source said.

    “We have a peace plan on the table by President Zelensky. But that hasn’t received a positive answer from Moscow. So we are at this moment supporting Ukraine in its defence of its own territory, but we also keep channels open for the moment for negotiation,” the source said.
