China's Foreign Minister Qin Gang's Swift Rise Ends In 7 Months

Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang was removed from his post after just seven months in the job on Tuesday, bringing an end to weeks of confusion after the 57-year-old once seen as close to President Xi Jinping disappeared from public view.

Mr Qin, 57, became one of the country's youngest foreign ministers on his appointment in December 2022 after a brief stint as US ambassador, enjoying a meteoric rise to the top that analysts partly attributed to his closeness to President Xi.

He was replaced by his predecessor, Wang Yi, 69.

Born in the northern city of Tianjin in 1966, Qin Gang studied International Politics at one of China's most prestigious schools for aspiring diplomats, the University of International Relations in Beijing.

After graduating, Mr Qin entered the diplomatic service, working in several jobs at the foreign ministry as well as postings at the Chinese Embassy in Britain.

Qin Gang was twice foreign ministry spokesman, between 2006 and 2014, and chief protocol officer between 2014 and 2018, overseeing many of President Xi's interactions with foreign leaders.

As ministry spokesman, he stood out for being one of the first diplomats to speak aggressively in defence of China's increasingly assertive foreign policy, a style that became known as "wolf warrior" diplomacy.

But he also displayed willingness to work with the United States, declaring upon his arrival in Washington as ambassador in July 2021, after a period of unusual public vitriol between US and Chinese officials, that relations held "great opportunities and potential".

Relations between the two big powers did not markedly improve during his time as ambassador, or afterwards, however. The two sides have been often at odds over issues including trade, technology, and the self-ruled, democratic island of Taiwan, which Beijing claims and Washington supports.

The former foreign minister, who analysts said was likely to have been appointed foreign minister to help stabilise relations with the US, held a 5-1/2 hour meeting and a dinner with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in June in talks that both sides called candid and constructive.

A few days later, on June 25, he held talks with officials from Sri Lanka, Russia and Vietnam in Beijing but then began an unexplained public absence.

His ministry said on July 11 he was unable to attend a meeting in Indonesia for unspecified "health reasons". It declined any further comment on his status, creating an information vacuum in which rumours swirled.

Wang Yi, who was promoted to the politburo of the Chinese Communist Party, one of China's top leadership bodies, filled in for him during his absence.

Qin Gang, who is married with one son, visited various countries as foreign minister including several in Africa in January and in Europe in May where he pushed China's call for a ceasefire in Ukraine, a tough sell given that China has been criticised for not condemning Russia's invasion.

After becoming foreign minister, Mr Qin's comments on hot button issues such as Taiwan and China's relations with Russia did not diverge in any significant way from those of his predecessor.

In his first comments as foreign minister, Qin Gang said in solving challenges common to all mankind, China's diplomacy would offer "Chinese wisdom, Chinese initiatives and Chinese strength".

In an essay published in American bi-monthly magazine the National Interest late last year, Qin Gang gave an overview of China's foreign policy and reiterated that China-US relations were not a "zero-sum game" with one side gaining at the expense of the other.

Huge Rally In Mizoram Demands End To Violence In Manipur

Thousands of people took part in marches in solidarity with the Kuki-Zo tribals of violence-hit Manipur across Mizoram on Tuesday, demanding the central and state governments to restore peace and normalcy at the earliest.

The 'solidarity march' was organised by the NGOs Coordination Committee in Mizoram capital Aizawl and various other districts simultaneously.

Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga, his deputy Tawnluia, several ministers and MLAs from across party lines took part in the march.

The march comes days after a video of two tribal women being paraded naked by a mob in Manipur sparked massive outrage and call for action.

The march condemned the central and Manipur governments for the "brutal attack" on the tribals and sexual assaults on tribal women.

Banners and placards at the marches read: "The sufferings of tribals in Manipur is our sufferings," "Mizoram stands with Kuki-Zo tribals in Mizoram," "Let us not go back to barbaric era", "Women bodies are not battlefield", "Death penalty for Manipur rapists", "Stop killing Christians in Manipur".

Briefing the media, Young Mizo Association (YMA) assistant general secretary Malsawmliana said human rights were violated in Manipur during the nearly three months of the ethnic violence, something that's never witnessed in India.

Singers presented solidarity songs while volunteers collected donations for the victims. The tricolour as well as flags of various organisations dotted the rallies.

The Coordination Committee's chairman R Lalngheta also urged the Centre to end the violence.

In a statement issued after the march, the Coordination Committee said, "The disrespect shown to our fellow humans has blackened the face of Indian democracy."

"So far, 359 churches and quarters have been destroyed, 197 villages burnt, 7,247 homes damaged by fire and 41,425 people have been forced to leave Manipur. Many students studying in Manipur cannot continue their studies due to this ethnic conflict. This may have far reaching effects on the lives of the students and even the country as a whole," the statement said.

The offices of the ruling Mizo National Front, opposition BJP, Congress and Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) were also closed in support of the solidarity rallies.

To Avoid Awards Being Returned, House Panel Suggests Taking Recipient's Consent

Emphasising that Sahitya Akademi or other cultural academies are "apolitical organisations", a parliamentary panel has suggested that whenever any award is given by them, the consent of the recipient must be taken so that he or she does not return it because of "political reasons".

The department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture said this in a report tabled in both houses of Parliament on Monday.

In the event that the awards are returned, the awardee "shall not be considered" for such an award in the future, the panel said in its observations.

In its "Three Hundred Fifty First Report on 'Functioning of National Akademis and other Cultural Institutions', the panel underlined that the return of such awards is "disgraceful to the country".

"Such inappropriate incidents involving the return of awards undermine the achievements of the other awardees and also impact the overall prestige and reputation of the awards," the panel said.

The committee observed that the awards given by each Akademi continue to be top honours for an artiste in India.

West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were among the states which saw the highest number of deletions. In 2021-22, 1,57,309 job cards were deleted in West Bengal, while in the following year (2022-23), the number shot up by over 5,000 per cent as 83,36,115 job cards were deleted. In Andhra Pradesh, 6,25,514 job cards were deleted in 2021-22, which increased by 1,147 per cent in 2022-23, when 78,05,569 cards were cancelled.

In his reply, Mr. Singh said the deletions were made due to reasons like "fake" job cards, duplicate job cards, people not willing to work anymore, family shifted from Gram Panchayat permanently, or person's death.

Asked if the government has any plan to alter the spirals in deletions, Mr. Singh said, "Updation of job cards is a regular exercise conducted by the States/UTs." He also said implementation of the scheme is responsibility of state governments.

7 Electric Two-Wheeler Makers To Pay Rs 469 Crore For Violating Centre's Norms

The Centre has sought Rs 469 crore from seven electric two-wheeler makers, including Hero Electric and Okinawa for claiming incentives while not complying with the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME) II scheme norms, a government official said. 

The official said that in case of non-refund of the amount to the government, they will be de-registered from the scheme in the next 7-10 days and the government would not allow them to participate in the scheme.

An investigation by the heavy industries ministry has revealed that these companies have availed fiscal incentives under the scheme by violating the norms.

As per the rules of the scheme, incentives were allowed to make electric vehicles by using made in India components, but in the investigation it was found that these seven firms have used imported components.

“In our investigations, six companies have been found clean, but seven companies have violated the norms. So we are seeking Rs 469 crore. They will have to return the amount to the government,” the official said.

The seven companies are Hero Electric, Okinawa Autotech, Ampere EV, Revolt Motors, Benling India, Amo Mobility, and Lohia Auto.

The ministry conducted the investigation after receiving anonymous emails alleging that several EV makers were claiming subsidies without complying with the Phased Manufacturing Plan (PMP) rules, which are intended to boost domestic manufacturing of these electric vehicles.

After that, the ministry delayed the distribution of subsidies last financial year.

Out of the seven, the official said, two have communicated to the ministry that they would return the incentives amount with interest.

The official also clarified that the government has not stopped any of these players from making vehicles, “but now they will not get any incentive under the scheme”.

When contacted a Hero Electric spokesperson said: "The notice pertains to a period in which there is no cause for our non-compliance. It is not relevant for Hero Electric." A Greaves Electric Mobility (GEM) spokesperson said the company was one of the first companies to enthusiastically support and deliver on the government's localisation vision.

"We are working with the government to better understand their concern and in relation to the same we have filed a detailed representation," the spokesperson added.

Lohia Auto CEO Ayush Lohia said: "We want to emphatically state that we have not received any information or notice from the government department or concerned authority regarding the reversal of subsidies." He further said: "We are unaware of the source of information that alleges Lohia Auto Industries' involvement in this matter." Okinawa Autotech and Revolt Motors declined to comment.

To promote electric and hybrid vehicles, a Rs 10,000-crore programme under the FAME-II scheme was announced in 2019. It is the expanded version of the present scheme FAME India I (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid) and Electric Vehicles, which was launched on April 1, 2015, with a total outlay of Rs 895 crore.

In three-wheeler and four-wheeler segments, incentives are applicable mainly on vehicles used for public transport or registered commercial purposes. In the two-wheeler segment, the focus is on private vehicles.

Inside Rs 1,200 Crore Sprawling UK Mansion Bought By Indian Businessman

Since Indian billionaire Ravi Ruia purchased a 113 million-pound ($145 million) London property in one of the largest residential transactions in the UK capital in recent years, interest in the inside views of this opulent estate has surged all over the world. The Hanover Lodge home is located at 150 Park Road and overlooks Regent's Park.

Here are some interior shots of the early nineteenth-century mansion that is currently making headlines across the world:

John Nash, who also constructed Buckingham Palace, designed the 2,400-square-metre mansion at 150 Park Road in 1827.

According to The Telegraph, Grade II-listed Hanover Lodge was at one time the residence of the French ambassador to the UK and has a gym, sauna, and gallery, as well as accommodation for in-house staff and a swimming pool that can be converted into a ballroom.

The mansion was owned as recently as two years ago by Goncharenko, the former deputy chief executive officer of Gazprom Invest Yug, a subsidiary of the Russian state-run energy firm.

He bought the property's outstanding lease in 2012 from Conservative Party peer Rajkumar Bagri for 120 million pounds, the person said.

The news portal further said that a spokesperson for the Ruia family said Hanover Lodge "became available at a price that makes it an attractive investment".

Mr Ruia and his brother Shashi co-founded India's Essar Group, which has major interests in energy, metals, technology, and retail.

Presently, the property "is under construction and became available at a price that makes it an attractive investment for the family office," William Rego, a spokesperson for the Ruia family office, said in an emailed statement.

Baby Dies At Refugee Detention Centre, Parents Attend Burial In Handcuffs In J&K

A Rohingya couple was brought in handcuffs for the last rites of their child who died in a refugee detention centre near Jammu. A video of the handcuffed parents at the burial site has been widely shared on social media.

The 43-day-old baby died at a refugee "holding centre" where clashes broke out between inmates and police earlier this week. Several people, including three policemen and Rohingyas, were reportedly injured during clashes.

On Thursday, the baby's body was handed over to relatives at a Rohingya settlement in Jammu.

The parents were seen in handcuffs when they were being brought at the burial site and also when the body was handed over to relatives in Narwal in Jammu for last rites, showed two videos.

Jail authorities have denied that the baby died in clashes. According to Koushal Kumar, superintendent of Kathua district jail, who is also in-charge of the holding centre, the baby was suffering from some ailment and died two days after the incident at the detention centre.

Police have filed an FIR against Rohingyas allegedly involved in stone pelting at Hiranagar sub-jail - designated as the holding centre for Rohingyas.

271 Rohingyas, among them 144 women and children are detained at the holding centre.

Clashes broke out after Rohingyas, who held multiple hunger strike protests in the holding centre, demanded their release and deportation to their native country Myanmar.

The police resorted to lathicharge and resorted tear-gas shelling as a control measure.

Mr Kumar said the police were compelled to take action after inmates took three officials of jail staff, including a special police official, hostage and tried to break open the gate of the sub-jail at Hiranagar.

"Rohingyas have been demanding their release and deportation to their native country," the official said.

Mr Kumar said they have already forwarded the case to the home department for the deportation of Rohingyas.

Salim Mohammad and his wife had come to Jammu in 2012. The couple, along with their eldest son, were arrested by police during the checking of refugee cards issued by the UN. Even as Salim also had a UNHCR card that allows Rohingyas to stay as refugees, the family was lodged at the Jammu district jail at Ambphalla before they were shifted to the holding centre in Hiranagar in 2021. The couple then went on to have two more children at the centre.

Over the last several years, political parties and right-wing groups have been demanding the deportation of Rohingya refugee from Jammu. These groups allege that Rohingyas have been settled in Jammu as a part of a conspiracy to engineer a demographic change in the region.

During these years, hundreds of shanties and hutments of the Rohingyas were burnt in the area.

"Will Present Our Point Of View In Parliament": Union Minister On Manipur Horror

The Centre will present facts on the Manipur incident in the Parliament, Union Minister for Earth Sciences Kiren Rijiju said here on Saturday and declined to speak on the viral video that showed two women being paraded in the north eastern state. 

Refusing to be drawn into any controversy over the May 4 incident that took place in Kangpokpi district, he indicated that it would be inappropriate to discuss the issue outside the Parliament.

"Whatever matters are to be discussed in the Parliament we will present our point of view. But right now, I can't say anything outside on the matter," Mr Rijiju told reporters here when his comments on the issue were sought.

"I have come here (today) for the Rozgar Mela. I will not make any (other) comments," the minister further said.

Manipur police has arrested a fifth person, aged around 19, in connection with the May 4 incident, officials said on Saturday. The two women are alleged to have been sexually assaulted before being set free. A 26-second video of the horrific incident surfaced on Wednesday.

More than 160 people have lost their lives, and several have been injured since ethnic violence broke out in the state on May 3, when a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.

Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur's population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley, while tribals, which include Nagas and Kukis, constitute 40 per cent and reside mostly in the hill districts.

Aadhaar Details Help Reunite Missing Specially-Abled Woman With Family

A specially-abled woman in Assam was reunited with her family earlier this month, several weeks after she went missing from her home, an official statement from the Ministry of Electronics and IT said.

The woman, who has speech and hearing impairments, was found wandering at the Sonapur New Market in the state's Kamrup district by the Assam Police - nearly 165 kilometers from her home in the Sonitpur district. She was identified with the help of Aadhaar, the statement added.

The police referred her to the Sakhi One Stop Centre, an NGO that offers psychosocial counselling and temporary shelter to women under the sambal sub-scheme of Mission Shakti of the Ministry of Women and Child Development.

As officials failed to communicate with the woman, she was shown a few pictures when she pointed to an Aadhaar card.

The Guwahati Regional Office of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) was contacted and they asked for the woman's fingerprints for a possible Aadhaar match, the statement said.

Once her biometrics were sent, her Aadhaar details popped up, along with her home address, read the statement from the ministry further.
