Gold smuggling, phone tapping, solar scam cover-ups, a murder linked to gold smuggling, and allegations against the Chief Minister's political secretary—these are the troubling headlines Malayalis have been waking up to in recent days. It's particularly alarming that a ruling party MLA has come forward with serious accusations against the police department and high-ranking officials. This issue goes beyond mere political interests; it raises a significant concern for public safety and governance. When those tasked with safeguarding lives and upholding law and order become allies of criminal gangs, how can anyone feel safe? Is this unholy nexus between politics and crime turning the state into "God's Own Country" for criminals? Like past scandals, this one might fade with a token investigation. However, the deeply rooted corruption in the state's home department needs more than surface-level fixes. Real change can only come through the power of the people's vote. . . #Kerala #PoliticalCorruption #GovernanceCrisis #CrimeAndPolitics #JusticeForAll

India's high commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Verma, has rejected claims of involvement in the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for harming bilateral relations after Canada identified Indian diplomats as "persons of interest" in the investigation into Nijjar's death. Verma described the allegations as politically motivated and noted the absence of supporting evidence. Verma accused Trudeau of relying on intelligence rather than solid proof when making his claims. He expressed dismay that Trudeau chose to announce these allegations in Parliament without first disclosing the evidence, which has negatively impacted India-Canada relations. Trudeau and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have alleged that Indian diplomats assisted in targeting Sikh separatists in Canada, resulting in violence against these activists. India has branded these allegations as "preposterous," suggesting they are politically motivated to bolster Trudeau's upcoming elections. The Indian government has criticized Canada for being lenient towards Khalistan movement supporters, despite its prohibition in India. Verma condemned Nijjar's murder, reiterating that any act of murder is wrong. Relations between India and Canada have deteriorated since Trudeau pointed to possible links between Indian agents and Nijjar's assassination, with India demanding evidence to support these claims. #AsiaRisk #GeopoliticalConflictandDisputes #India Get a full accounting of the security situation in Asia by subscribing to Security Asia.

India and China have withdrawn troops from contentious areas in Demchok and Depsang, following an agreement to ease tensions along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Both countries have returned to troop positions from before April 2020, dismantling previous temporary structures. Verification of this withdrawal is set to occur in the coming days, allowing for the resumption of coordinated patrolling. Both armies will maintain dialogue, with a traditional sweets exchange expected during Diwali. The Indian Army plans to resume patrols in Demchok and Depsang by month-end, giving advance notice to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to prevent conflicts. The agreement also requires the PLA to inform India of their patrols ahead of time. The disengagement process began around October 24, with both sides withdrawing from key friction points and disassembling temporary installations. The Indian Army is repositioning westward, while Chinese forces move east. This agreement grants access to previously restricted patrol areas, including the Depsang plains and Galwan Valley, though timelines for patrols remain unclear due to seasonal weather considerations. #AsiaRisk #GeopoliticalConflictandDisputes #India Get a full accounting of the security situation in Asia by subscribing to Security Asia.

Indonesian ambassador says Su-35 fighter jets contract remains in force Indonesian Ambassador to Russia Jose Tavares said that around 30% of weapons in service with his country’s armed forces are Russian-made MAKHACHKALA, May 8/ Indonesia has never terminated a contract to purchase Su-35 fighter jets from Russia and is waiting for the situation to become "more accommodating" to return to its implementation, Indonesian Ambassador to Russia Jose Tavares told TASS. "Indeed, at some point Russia and Indonesia signed this treaty. Indonesia has never terminated it, but it was put on hold to avoid certain potential inconveniences," he said. The ambassador added that Indonesia will return to this question when the situation becomes "more accommodating." In his estimates, around 30% of weapons in service with his country’s armed forces are Russian-made. CNN Indonesia news portal reported in late December 2021 that the Indonesian government abandoned its plans to purchase 11 Russian-made Su-35 multirole fighters due to lack of funds. News about the signing of a $1.1 billion contract with Jakarta for the delivery of 11 Su-35 fighter jets became known in early 2018. In July 2019, former Indonesian Ambassador to Russia Mohamad Wahid Supriyadi said that the delay in the implementation of the contract was due to the complexity of the trade scheme, which involved both government agencies and companies. In March 2020, Bloomberg reported that Indonesian authorities decided to give up on plans to implement the Su-35 contract with Russia due to a lack of funds in the budget caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and also due to threats from the US to impose sanctions on Indonesia if the contract was implemented. #business #finance #financialservices

During the debate on the resolution in the Security Council, the US said that Russia had launched a satellite last week which could be part of the deployment of weapons in space. The member countries of the Security Council are condemning this possible global trend in the future but have failed to take steps against it. Last month, Russia’s rivals America and Japan had put forward a proposal in the Security Council which was rejected. <!-- /8323530/Khabar_Desktop_VDO_1X1 --> America’s side America and its allies say that the purpose of the resolution discussed on Monday in the 15-member council is only to divert the world’s attention from Russia’s real intention to deploy weapons in space. “The resolution put before us today is nothing but the ultimate Russian distraction,” US Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood told the council. Russia’s argument Russia’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, rejected the fact that his country was trying to mislead the world. He said the vote on this resolution is an important moment for our Western allies to reveal the truth. China and other countries supported this proposal. “If they do not support this resolution, it will become clear that their main objective is to maintain their independence in relation to the deployment of weapons in outer space,” Nebenzia said. Also know Every nation says it wants to keep weapons out of space, and council member states reiterated this on Monday. But when it came to voting, the council was divided on the proposals by Russia and the US and Switzerland was absent from the voting process. The resolution fell under UN rules because it did not receive the required nine votes.

Recent incidents highlight the escalating challenges of coastal border security and drug smuggling attempts in India. In a remarkable joint effort, the Indian Coast Guard and ATS Gujarat intercepted an Indian fishing boat, seizing a significant quantity of narcotics and apprehending suspects involved in the illegal drug trade. This follows the interception of a Pakistani fishing boat carrying a substantial drug load. These events underscore the intricate dynamics of drug trafficking via coastal routes and the pivotal role of maritime security agencies. Collaboration between law enforcement and Coast Guard units is crucial in dismantling cross-border drug syndicates. #Border #Borderman #India #CoastGuard #DrugTrafficking #MaritimeSecurity #Gujarat #GujaratATS #ATS

India and China have initiated weekly coordinated patrols along the disputed Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh, following a disengagement agreement aimed at reducing tensions after a four-year standoff. The first round of these joint patrols took place in early November, marking a significant step towards de-escalation and rebuilding trust. Each country will conduct one patrol per week in the Demchok and Depsang regions, alternating patrols to enhance confidence. The disengagement agreement and coordinated patrols resulted from extensive negotiations at political, diplomatic, and military levels. Both nations plan to maintain regular discussions to further stabilize the situation. Verification patrols have already been conducted to ensure compliance, signaling progress in alleviating regional tensions. This development follows a standoff triggered by a violent clash in the Galwan Valley in June 2020, which had heightened military confrontations between the two countries. #AsiaRisk #GeopoliticalConflictandDisputes #India Get a full accounting of the security situation in Asia by subscribing to Security Asia.
