Lok Sabha passes Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill by voice vote
New Delhi, Aug 12 (UNI) The Lok Sabha today passed the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2025 by voice vote. The Bill aims to ensure the benefits of the mining sector reach the common people, introduce transparency in the allocation of mines and promote development in the sector. While presenting the bill in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister for Coal and Mines, G Kishan Reddy, said the proposed amendments aim to boost employment opportunities and ensure that tribals and those linked to the mining sector directly benefit from the reforms. He pointed out that prior to the Modi government, mine allocations were done with minimal oversight, allowing mafia groups to dominate the sector. This led to the Supreme Court cancelling 104 mine allocations due to corruption. He emphasised that the scenario has now significantly improved. Reddy also mentioned that the mining sector was once controlled by politically influential individuals and marred by exploitation. In contrast, he said, the current environment fosters development, with common citizens now seeing real benefits. Taking a dig at the Opposition members who were protesting the bill, he said that their opposition stems from a lack of faith in the people. Earlier, during the debate, BJP MP Malavika Devi highlighted that mine allocations were previously handled in an unethical manner, but reforms have changed that. She said the bill would help uplift the poor and improve the nation's global standing by ensuring transparency in mining. BJP's Brijmohan Agrawal called the legislation a key step towards the development of tribal regions, stating that it would benefit marginalized communities. CM Gurumoorthy Maddila of the YSR Congress and G Lakshminarayan from the Telugu Desam Party also took part in the discussion.

Israel Defence Minister clashes with IDF Chief over senior military appointments
Tel Aviv, Aug 12 (UNI) Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had a public dispute with Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir late yesterday over senior appointments in the military, as per Times of Israel. A media leak prior to the announcement of the appointments led to Katz' row with Zamir, with the Defence Minister slamming the military chief in a public statement. Katz said the meeting held by Zamir was conducted 'contrary to the defence minister's directive and without prior coordination and agreement, in violation of established procedure.' Katz added he had 'no intention of discussing or approving any of the appointments or names' that were leaked. 'The Chief of Staff will be required to coordinate in advance with the defence minister in order to discuss these or other appointments in the future,' he said. Noting that the Defence Ministry was superior to the military in authority, and that the IDF was subordinate to its policies, Zamir hit back at the office after announcing the appointments. Releasing a statement from the IDF, Zamir said that 'staffing discussion was scheduled in advance, in accordance with regulations.' 'The chief of staff is the sole authority under regulations for appointing commanders at the rank of colonel and above in the IDF. The chief of staff holds an orderly staffing discussion with the participation of the General Staff forum,' the military said in the statement. 'The chief of staff decides on the appointments, after which the appointment goes to the (defence) minister for approval, who may approve or not approve the appointment,' the IDF added. The spat between the two carried over on Tuesday, with Katz releasing another statement, insisting that he would follow the accepted procedures. 'Since these are joint appointments by the Defence Minister and the IDF chief of staff, there is an accepted procedure for appointments of ranks colonel and up in the IDF,' Katz said. 'No discussion of IDF shakeups is held before the accepted procedure is carried out.' Katz said he has 'clarified to the chief of staff that he needs more time and the discussion must not be held at this time,' adding that he will 'weigh whether to promote senior officers on the Gaza front who haven't served the accepted timeframe for their roles to other roles before the task of defeating Hamas in Gaza has been completed.' Katz also said he will examine whether to promote officers who served as commanders on the Gaza front during the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, or whose names were linked to 'irregular incidents in the past.' 'The military echelon is subordinate to the defence minister and will act in accordance with his orders and the policy he will set,' he stressed. UNI ANV SSP

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban refuses to sign EU statement on Ukraine
Budapest, Aug 12 (UNI) Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has refused to sign the European Union's statement where it said that it, along with the US and other allies will continue supporting Ukraine on all fronts, diplomatically as well as militarily. "Hungary does not associate itself with this statement," Orban said, reports TASS. Signed by 26 EU leaders, the statement pledged both full support for Kyiv, as well as Trump's mediation efforts, highlighting the need to achieve peace under ambits of international law, and stating that 'International borders must not be changed with force,' urging for Ukraine to be called to the meeting while pledging for its integration into the bloc. He further slammed the EU for trying to give instructions regarding the Putin-Trump meeting on Aug 15 in Alaska, as Ukraine has not been invited, stating that the bloc was in no position to pass instructions to anyone. "Before the European liberal-mainstream choir sings about 'Putin's puppet' again, I would like to share why I could not support this statement on behalf of Hungary. 'The statement attempts to set conditions for negotiations to which the EU leaders were not even invited. It is sad per se that the EU has been sidelined. It would only be worse to give instructions from the bench," Orban wrote on his social media. UNI ANV SSP
