After the all-party meeting, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi alleged that the central government was deliberately shortening the session. He said, “Discussion is possible only for 15 days in the total session of 19 days. Perhaps this will be the shortest winter session ever.

Big decision regarding SIR process going on in 12 states, BLO will get relief from this step of Election Commission

For the first time in history, Japan has exported its indigenously made Patriot missile interceptor to America. Their number has not been disclosed at present. This step is considered not just a military deal, but a major change in Japan’s decades-old defense policy. Japanese media has claimed quoting defense sources.

According to Kyodo News Agency, this export has become possible under the new rules which Japan implemented in December 2023. These rules partially relaxed many restrictions on arms export. With this, Japan can now send complete weapon systems to licensed countries. Before this, Japan could only sell parts.

capable of teaching a lesson to enemies

These missiles sent to America are Patriot PAC-3 interceptors. It is capable of destroying enemy weapons like ballistic and cruise missiles in the air itself. This missile system is manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan under American license.

Japan says that this export is to fill the stock of America’s army. In the last few years, due to Ukraine conflict, America has been continuously providing missile support to its allies. The pressure on its reserves is increasing. In this background, Japanese supplies will help strengthen American defense preparedness.

America will not be able to send these missiles to third countries

The Japanese government has also clarified that these missiles are only for America’s use. Washington will not send them to any third country. This decision is important because the people of Japan and its politics have been very sensitive about arms export for a long time.

After World War I, Japan adopted a “defense only” policy, under which the export of weapons abroad was almost completely prohibited. Therefore this deal became possible after a lot of political discussion.

Debate on changing policy intensifies in Japan

This policy change has also intensified the debate within Japan. Supporters say that Japan will have to strengthen its role amidst the changing security environment, China’s increasing military activities, North Korea’s continuous missile tests and instability in the Asia-Pacific region. According to him, sending missiles to America makes the Japan-America security partnership more reliable. Strengthens the joint defense strategy of both the countries.

Opponents argue that this move could unnecessarily involve Japan in international conflicts. Could weaken its identity as a “peaceful nation”. He says that even though the missiles are not being sent for direct use in war, this start can open the way for export of bigger weapons in future, which is contrary to the traditional policies of the country.

Despite this, the government believes that this change is the need of the hour in view of the current global security situation. For Japan, this is not just the expansion of the defense industry but also an effort to strengthen its strategic position.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the growing closeness between Washington and Pakistan will not affect America’s strong partnership with India. Rubio clarified that America’s objective is not to limit relations with Pakistan only to anti-terrorism cooperation, but also to work towards increasing partnership at the economic and strategic levels.

‘The relationship with India is deep and historic’- US Secretary of State
Rubio said in the press briefing, ‘Our relationship with India is deep, historic and very important. Our talks with Pakistan are not happening at India’s expense. He said that America is adopting a practical foreign policy, in which it is simultaneously strengthening relations with many countries. India is a very mature country and it understands that we need to maintain relations with different countries.

‘Want to rebuild alliance with Pakistan’
The US Secretary of State said that America is trying to form a new strategic alliance with Pakistan. He said, ‘We are willing to work with Pakistan. We know there will be challenges, but we are looking for opportunities to see which issues we can work together on. Rubio also said that the US and Pakistan have a long partnership in counter-terrorism cooperation, and now Washington wants to take it forward.

‘India’s concern is natural, but we will maintain balance’
When asked whether India has expressed concern over America’s growing closeness to Pakistan, Rubio said, ‘India’s concern is natural because there has been tension between the two countries for a long time. But India understands that America has to maintain relations with many countries. He said that India itself maintains relations with countries from which America is distant, hence this is a part of mature diplomacy.

New warmth in America-Pakistan relations
In recent times, relations between America and Pakistan have strengthened rapidly. America has signed an agreement with Pakistan on important mineral partnership, under which an investment of 500 million dollars will be made. Apart from this, both the countries have also agreed on oil reserves and trade expansion.

Trump praised Pak PM and Army Chief
On Sunday, US President Donald Trump praised Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir, calling them ‘excellent people’. Trump also recently claimed that he saved millions of lives by preventing a possible war between India and Pakistan. This statement has come at a time when a new turn is being seen in the relations between America and Pakistan.

Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar said on Monday (October 6) that the world is going through a period of major changes and rising competition at this time. He warned that ‘everything used as a weapon’ is increasing ‘and at such a time India will have to move forward by strengthening its strategy. Emphasizing the ‘Nebarhood First’ policy, he said that India will have to become a ‘go-to option’ in this entire subcontinent in case of any crisis.

Increasing instability and competition in the world
Jaishankar said that today the spirit against globalization is increasing in many societies of the world. Older equations of business are changing due to the instability of tariffs. He indirectly made this statement indicating US President Donald Trump’s ‘America First’ policy. The US has recently imposed many big tariffs on India, which has increased trade tension between the two countries.

India will have to become a reliable option in crisis
Jaishankar said, India will have to become the most trusted option in this subcontinent in the event of any crisis. He said that India would have to be a part of a large strategic block to maintain global balance. He described the current time as a period of making weapons.

Instability in neighboring countries, challenge before India
He said that India’s neighborhood is in a very critical state at this time. Relationships with Pakistan are constantly tense, while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal have also seen political instability and protests in recent months. Jaishankar said that in such an environment, India will have to move forward keeping its policies strong.

Agreement with America, but no compromise on ‘red line’
Jaishankar bluntly said that India will make any business agreement with the US only when its ‘Red Lines’ ie Agriculture and Dairy sector is not allowed without any restriction of foreign goods. He said that the strategic loss that India had suffered from partition will now have to be filled.

India’s strategy for 2047
Speaking at the Aravali Summit organized on the subject of ‘India and the World Order: Preparaing for 2047’ at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Jaishankar said that India’s growth strength is demand, population and data. He said that we have to prepare our ideas, vocabulary and native for the 2047 journey so that India can play a leading role in the global system.

The news of Russia supplying the RD-93MA engine to Pakistan for JF-17 Thunder Block-III fighter aircraft has intensified the political stir in India. Congress and BJP have come face to face on this issue and there is sharp rhetoric between the two parties.

Congress accused

Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh attacked the central government and said that if Russia, who was once the most trusted strategic partner in India, is now giving advanced engine to Pakistan, then it is the failure of the Modi government’s foreign policy. He said, “The Modi government should clarify that Russia, which has been our traditional ally, is now providing technical help to Pakistan. This engine will be installed in JF-17 Block-III aircraft. The advanced version of the same model which used PL-15 missiles against India during Operation Sindoor.”

Jairam Ramesh also added that India still continues to talk about the S-400 missile system and SU-57 Stealth Fighter from Russia, which shows the government’s image-based diplomacy failure.

Did BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya say?

BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya described the allegations of the Congress as “false and misleading”. He said that Russia has clearly rejected all such claims. In his X (East Twitter) post, Malaviya wrote, “Russia has denied the news of the engine supply to Pakistan. Jairam Ramesh has formed the basis of a website report that is known to spread the pro-Pakistan propaganda. Neither official confirmation, no reliable source, just one more news.” He further said that the Congress seems to be standing in favor of the enemy instead of the national interest by spreading such rumors repeatedly and is part of the “Information War”.

At present, the engine supply to Pakistan has not been confirmed by Russia any official means. But this entire controversy has definitely given rise to a new debate on India’s foreign policy and relations with Russia.

US President Donald Trump has warned that if Afghanistan does not give back the control of Bagram Airbase to the US, then there will be serious consequences. Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, “If Afghanistan Bagram Airbase does not give it to those who made it, that is, America will have bad things.”

Trump had also said earlier that the US wants control of this base used by American forces after the September 11, 2001 attacks. On Friday (September 19), he told reporters that talks are going on with Afghan officials on this issue. The airbase went into the hands of the Taliban movement after American soldiers moved from Afghanistan in 2021.

Afghan officials have already opposed the revival of American military presence. Afghan Foreign Ministry official Zakir Jalal said on X (East Twitter), “Afghanistan and America should talk to each other but America does not need to maintain military presence in any part of Afghanistan.”

“We want Bagram back”

At a meeting with Britain’s Prime Minister Kir Starmer, US President Trump said that his administration is trying to get back the control of Bagram Airbase. He explained the main reason behind this to be closest to China’s nuclear weapons. Trump called it a complete disaster under the administration of former President Joe Biden and said that the Biden administration messed up with the US Army’s long war.

Trump said, “We are trying to get it back. We want this base back because Afghan authorities need us. We want that base back and one of the reasons is that it is only one hour away from China’s nuclear weapons construction site.”

‘Difficult for families …’, India’s first reaction to Trump’s H-1B visa fee, know what to say

India’s politics has become hot after US President Donald Trump’s decision to increase H1-B visa fees. The opposition is constantly questioning the Modi government. Asaduddin Owaisi, head of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), surrounded the central government after the US step to fix a fee of $ 1 lakh. He raised the question that “What did the country benefit from big programs like Howdi Modi and Namaste Trump?”

What did Owaisi say?

On the social media platform X, Owaisi wrote that Trump almost eliminated the H1-B visa system, while this visa benefited most of the Indians, especially the youth of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Owaisi accuses Modi government

Owaisi alleged that the Modi government ignored long -term benefits for showing in domestic politics. He said that his complaint is not with Trump, but to the government. “What did we achieve with events like Howdi Modi and Namaste Trump?”

Hyderabad MP Owaisi lashed out at Prime Minister Modi and said that Trump’s decisions prove that America does not see India as a strategic partner. He also said that only the best wishes of birthday cannot be a proof of the success of foreign policy. Owaisi alleged that a change in H1-B visa was done especially to target Indians.

He also recently mentioned the tariff imposed on Indian goods and the security treaty of Pakistan-Saudi Arabia and said that all this was not possible without the approval of the Trump administration. According to Owaisi, these incidents seem weak in India’s global situation.

Owaisi said this big thing

Owaisi called the Modi government’s term ‘lost decade’ in India’s foreign policy. Other opposition parties also did not lag behind. The Congress described the Prime Minister as a weak leader and Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party commented that the Modi government is looking completely helpless in this matter.

Politics and diplomacy are out of our understanding

He said, ‘When we fought with Pakistan, didn’t our people die in it. This is politics and diplomacy, which is not a matter of us and you. The foreign policy of any country is different and our own sense is different.

The debate in the political and sports world in the country regarding the cricket match of India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup has intensified. The opposition is questioning the government as to why the cricket relationship continues even after the death of 26 people and ‘Operation Sindoor’ in Besaran of Pahalgam on 22 April.

Follow the rules of international sports bodies

The government says that it is necessary to participate in multilet tournaments, especially due to the involvement of cricket in Olympics of 2028 and India’s claim for Olympics of 2036. BCCI secretaries Devjit Saikia and Anurag Thakur said that it is necessary to follow the rules of international sports bodies, and the boycott of the match can be harmful to the players.

Supriya Sule opposed the government’s decision

The opposition is constantly attacking the government for this match. Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Chandra Pawar) executive president Supriya Sule also said on Sunday that it is unfortunate for India to play a cricket match with Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack.

He said that the families of 26 victims of the Pahalgam attack are demanding justice, but the central government allowed the Indian team to play cricket matches with Pakistan, which is unfortunate. The government had said that there will be no talks with Pakistan. He said that blood and water cannot flow together. If someone does wrong, then we should take to the streets against him.

India gave a message to further strengthen their relationship with Russia on Thursday (August 21, 2025). Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and insisted on increasing bilateral trade. The meeting took place when the US has imposed heavy punitive tariffs on India due to buying oil from Russia.

S Jaishankar meets Putin
Jaishankar held a courtesy call to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. During this time, the two leaders discussed bilateral trade, energy cooperation and strategic partnership. India made it clear that Russia is one of its oldest and trusted colleagues.

Conversation with Lavrov
Before meeting Putin, Jaishankar interacted with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. The two leaders also held press briefing. When Jaishankar was asked about the tariff imposed by the US, he said that India is unable to understand American argument.

America’s tariff strike
During the tenure of US President Donald Trump, 25% tariff has been imposed on India so far and an additional 25% punitive fee is going to be implemented soon. The US alleges that India has greatly increased oil imports from Russia after the Ukraine War and has also made a profit by “resale”.

Comparison of India and China
India is currently the second largest country to import oil from Russia, while China is ranked first. Despite this, America did not impose any such restrictions on China. On this, the US Treasury Secretary said that China did not increase its imports as fast as India has done.

Jaishankar’s answer
Jaishankar dismissed the American argument, saying, “Americans themselves told us that we should buy oil from Russia to keep the global energy market stable. We also buy oil from America and there has been a steady increase in that purchase. So we do not understand this argument at all.”

India’s independent policy
The Modi government is constantly advocating strong relations with Russia and is also working on normalizing relations with China. It is an indication that India is adamant on its independent foreign policy despite American pressure.

Modi-Putin Dialogue
Recently, after the meeting of US President Trump and Putin, Putin spoke to Prime Minister Modi over the phone. In this conversation, Modi described Putin as a “friend” and the two leaders decided to maintain close contact. Modi once again said that India constantly wants a peaceful solution to Ukraine war.

US President Donald Trump made a big announcement on social media platform Truth social, saying that a tariff of 25 percent will be implemented on India from August 1. Apart from this, India will also have to face additional penalty due to buying oil from Russia. Trump accused India of buying military equipment and energy from Russia, saying, “India will have to pay 25% tariffs and additional punishment.” After this announcement of Trump, the Congress has targeted the Modi government at the Center.

Congress attack – Modi government’s foreign policy fails
Reacting to this decision, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that this is a big setback for India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi should not be afraid because it is US blackmailing. In an interview to the news agency ANI, Jairam Ramesh said, ‘Praise was praised in praise. There was no benefit from ‘Houda Modi’ and ‘Namaste Trump’. Trump has already said 30 times that he stopped Operation Sindoor, then what did we get from it?

America becomes third major challenge: Jairam Ramesh
Ramesh further said, ‘Till now we used to think that Pakistan and China are the biggest challenges for us, but now America has also become the third big challenge. It will have a direct impact on engineering, pharma and business industry. The Prime Minister should not be afraid, this is America’s blackmailing.

Trump cannot decide where India to buy energy
Jairam Ramesh said that America cannot decide where India should buy its energy. He said, ‘The Prime Minister should have come to the Rajya Sabha today, but he did not come. Today both India’s economy and the Prime Minister have suffered a setback. We will continue to ask for answers from the government.

Questions raised on foreign policy: Pawan Kheda
Senior Congress leader Pawan Kheda also questioned the foreign policy of the Modi government. He told ANI, ‘What is left to say now? Till yesterday we were thinking that the Prime Minister would show courage and denote the false ceasefire claims of Trump. We felt that maybe they are afraid of business agreement, so they are silent. But now the trade agreement has also been revealed. What kind of foreign policy is this? ‘

The Center said – We will protect our farmers and MSMEs
After this whole incident, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry on behalf of the Government of India issued a statement that the statement of the President of America has been taken into consideration and its effects are being studied. The ministry said that India and the US have been negotiating on a fair, balanced and mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreement for the last few months and India is committed to that goal.

The ministry also said that the government gives immense importance to the protection and encouragement of the welfare of our farmers, entrepreneurs and MSMEs. It will also be ensured that all necessary steps are taken to protect the national interests of the country, as recently in the Cast Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the UK.

America demands – pressure to open agriculture and dairy sector
According to the news, India was being pressurized by the US over several demands, including allowing remanufactured goods, opening agriculture and dairy sectors, genetically converted (GM) accepting feed, adopting American rules on digital trade and product standards. India’s agriculture and dairy sectors are associated with the livelihood of crores of people, so India objected to these demands.
