5 03 2014

Sheila Dikshit appointed Kerala Governor   Updated on : 05-03-2014 10:10 AM Sheila Dikshit, a former three-term Chief Minister of Delhi, was appointed Governor of Kerala within three months of her defeat in the recent Assembly polls. A Rashtrapati Bhavan spokesperson on Tuesday night said that 75-year-old Dikshit succeeds Nikhil Kumar, a former Delhi Police Commissioner, who resigned on Tuesday. The resignation of 72-year-old Kumar, who took over as Governor of Kerala in March last year, has been accepted. Kumar was earlier Governor of Nagaland from October 2009. Earlier in the day, Dikshit, a senior Congress leader, had met Union minister Sushilkumar Shinde and the decision to make her Kerala Governor was conveyed to her. During the Delhi Assembly elections in December last, Dikshit suffered an ignominious defeat from New Delhi seat at the hands of Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal. Kejriwal, who succeeded Dikshit and has since resigned over the Jan Lokpal issue, won by more than 22,000 votes. The Congress came a poor third bagging eight seats in a House of 70. Dikshit served as Chief Minister from 1998 to 2013 in Delhi. She had also represented Kannauj Parliamentary Constituency of Uttar Pradesh during the period between 1984 and 1989. Earlier, RJD President Lalu Prasad visited home of 72-year-old Kumar in Patna setting off speculation of his contesting the Aurangabad Parliamentary seat. RJD and Congress sources confirmed the visit of Prasad to seek the blessings of Kumar’s mother Kishori Sinha and to meet the Kerala Governor. Kumar is son of veteran Congress leader and former Bihar chief minister Satyendra Narayan Singh. He had lost the 2009 Lok Sabha elections from Aurangabad to Sushil Kumar Singh. Aurangabad with an overwhelming population of Rajputs is popularly called ‘Chittorgarh of Bihar’. The alliance between Congress and RJD is yet to be formalised after RJD chief offered 11 seats to Congress and 1 to NCP and sought a final response.

BIMSTEC leaders vow to jointly combat terrorism

5 03 2014

Updated on : 04-03-2014 12:55 PM Leaders from the seven-nation BIMSTEC on Tuesday vowed to jointly combat the growing threat of terrorism, transnational crimes and drug trafficking and agreed to intensify efforts to enhance connectivity and cooperation in areas like trade, energy and environment. The 3rd BIMSTEC Summit Declaration, issued at the end of the meeting of leaders from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Bhutan and Nepal, said the members recognised the threat that terrorism poses to peace, stability and economic progress and agreed for closer cooperation in combating all forms of terrorism and transnational crimes. The leaders called for expediting the ratification for entry into force of the BIMSTEC Convention on Cooperation in Combating International Terrorism, Transnational Organized Crime and Illicit Drug Trafficking and also for the early signing of the BIMSTEC Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, the two issues flagged by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his address to the summit. The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multisectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) brings together over 20 per cent of the world population, which is about 1.5 billion, and a GDP of over USD 2.5 trillion. Singh said the nature of the evolving threat of terrorism in the BIMSTEC region has imparted greater urgency for stronger cooperation to counter it, asserting that their security is “indivisible”. Noting that the region faces many common challenges – from natural disasters to terrorism, he said these have to be collectively addressed to make an important contribution to peace, harmony, security and prosperity in Asia and the world. “Like our prosperity, our security, too, is indivisible- whether it is the security of sea lanes of communication in our region or the persisting challenges of terrorism and transnational crimes,” he told leaders of the grouping. “The nature of the evolving threat of terrorism in the BIMSTEC region has imparted greater urgency for stronger cooperation to counter it,” he stressed. Myanmar President U Thein Sein said faced with new threats of non-traditional and trasnational challenges of climate change, natural disasters, energy and food security, the grouping has to combine its strengths and resources to engage with other international bodies in addressing these problems. “In this age of globalisation, regional and sub-regional groupings of nations with common culture and interests are no longer a matter of choice, but the need of the hour,” he said.

PM returns home after Myanmar visit

5 03 2014

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh returned home on Tuesday after concluding his two-day visit to Myanmar during which he attended the 3rd BIMSTEC Summit.

Singh also held many bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the summit.
He met Myanmar President U Thein Sein, Nepalese Prime Minister Sushil Koirala, Bangladesh premier Sheikh Hasina, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Myanmar’s pro-democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi.
Warning about the evolving threat of terrorism in the BIMSTEC region, Singh, in his address to the summit, sought stronger cooperation from the seven-nation grouping to effectively counter it, asserting that their security is “indivisible”.
The seven members – India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, Bhutan and Nepal – bring together over 20 percent of the world population, which is about 1.5 billion, and a GDP of over USD 2.5 trillion.
Singh travelled to Myanmar after a gap of nearly two years, in what could be his last foreign trip as Prime Minister.
