The action council submitted an application and a list of five persons who it wants to be taken to Yemen for negotiation. "The action council is facing serious challenges to make the discussions fruitful as the Indian negotiation team is unable to travel to Yemen due to the ongoing travel ban," said the letter submitted to the MEA secretary.
The names are of the action council's legal adviser Subhash Chandran, treasurer Kunjammed Koorachund, core committee member Sajeev Kumar, Kerala State Haj Committee chairman Hussain Saqafi and Islamic scholar Hamid, representing Kanthapuram Aboobacker Musaliyar's religious group.
The letter also requests the govt to propose at least two officials representing Centre to lead the negotiation process.
"The socio-economic position of the family (of Nimisha Priya) shows that they would not be able to initiate any effective negotiations directly with the family of victims who reside in Yemen. Moreover, the victim's brother recently made certain allegations such as serious financial frauds against the power of attorney holder of the Nimisha Priya's mother with regard to the instant case," the letter said.
Priya was convicted of murdering Talal Abdo Mahdi, with whom she started a health clinic in Yemen's capital of Sana'a and later reportedly entered into a marriage in 2017. Though Priya's execution was scheduled for July 16, it was postponed.

Lavish homes left by fleeing Gupta brothers up for sale in South Africa
South Africa is selling off three multimillion rand mansions owned by the Gupta brothers, a trio of influential Indian-born businessmen at the center of a corruption scandal that triggered the country's worst political and economic crisis since the end of Apartheid. Atul, Rajesh and Ajay Gupta began buying the properties in Thursday's auction in 2006. There, in Saxonwold, one of Johannesburg's oldest and most affluent neighborhoods, they entertained top politicians and businessmen for at least a decade. But as their public profile grew, so did allegations that they exerted undue influence over the state for their own enrichment. Protesters gathered regularly outside the compound's high walls and perimeter fences, demanding accountability. The brothers fled to Dubai shortly before the ruling African National Congress in 2018 forced Jacob Zuma to quit as president to stem a loss in electoral support, partly due to his links to the family. Their compound has been largely empty ever since. Protected by private armed guards, it became a symbol among opposition members and activists of the staggering levels of corruption in the country, and the challenges in holding those implicated in that corruption to account. President Cyril Ramaphosa has estimated that more than 500 billion rand ($28 billion) was plundered during his predecessor's near nine-year tenure and said that tackling graft — which has hobbled key institutions such as state power utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. and freight rail and ports operator Transnet SOC Ltd — is a priority. But to date, no senior official has been successfully prosecuted in connection to it. During a Saturday viewing of the compound organized by the auction house, Park Village Auctions, traces of the lavish lifestyle the brothers led in Africa's richest city were on display: a Cartier jewelry catalog, a Royal Caribbean cruise brochure and a hand-written inventory of fine whiskeys and champagne. Elsewhere green water fills an indoor pool, and moss grows on water features and a mini cricket pitch. Deep cracks run through window panes. Paint and plaster are peeling off walls. And the thatched roof of an outdoor bar is in tatters. The neglect means that although the three properties — which have different title deeds and will be auctioned separately — have a combined municipal value of about 64 million rand, they're likely to sell at a 'bargain price,' according to auctioneer Clive Lazarus. Individual residences in the neighborhood can sell for as much as 20 million rand, he said. Proceeds from the sale will help settle claims by creditors since Confident Concept Pty Ltd., the Gupta-linked company that owns the properties, entered into a local form of bankruptcy protection in 2018. The auction had been held up because it was in litigation over financial distress and disputes about property development with local authorities. The compound's role as the epicenter in what became known as 'state capture' was highlighted during a probe led by former chief justice Raymond Zondo, which began in 2018 and implicated more than 1,400 persons and entities. His panel heard that the brothers held clandestine meetings in their homes, where many people were offered kickbacks to help the family and their associates influence government decision making and secure contracts. The Guptas and Zuma have denied any wrongdoing. Atul was the first of the brothers to arrive from India in South Africa in 1993, just as the country was transitioning to democracy. Dispatched to the continent in search of fortune by his father, a trader of spices and soapstone powders, he founded Sahara Computers Ltd., a year later. The company, an importer and distributor of Windows PCs, grew and his brothers joined him. A single introduction to a member of the new political elite paved the way for the Guptas to mingle in powerful circles. During the viewing of the mansions, a safe that appeared to be forced open, boxes of prescription medicine, as well as spices and cupboards piled high with dinnerware suggested the Guptas left South Africa in haste. Atul and Rajesh — who are wanted in South Africa on charges including money laundering and fraud, and sanctioned by both the US and UK government — were arrested in United Arab Emirates in 2022. That's after Interpol placed them on its most-wanted list. But a UAE court, in 2023, denied South Africa's plea to extradite the brothers and their arrest warrant was canceled. South Africa provisionally withdrew its arrest warrant for Ajay in 2019, according to Reuters. Spokespersons for the President and Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development referred questions, including about plans to extradite the fugitive brothers and prosecute others implicated in graft, to the National Prosecuting Authority. The Investigating Directorate Against Corruption, a unit of the National Prosecuting Authority, declined to answer questions. A fourth property in the compound still bears a 'SAHARA ESTATE' sign on the outer wall but it is not up for auction this week. It's registered to a separate company linked to the family, according to Deeds Office data. The three mansions in the auction are zoned for residential use. Should the new owners want to use them for something else, they'd have to apply for permits, which aren't guaranteed to be approved. For Lumkile Mondi, a senior economics lecturer at Johannesburg's University of the Witwatersrand, the auction is an important step but challenges lie ahead. 'The reality is that when corruption, fraud, and destruction happens, it doesn't only take place the top, it filters down to other levels,' he said. 'For many South Africans, the biggest impact has been on the supply of water, electricity and fixing of roads. To change that requires serious commitment and it's going to take a long, long time before we get things right.'

Modi in London: ‘Major win' for jobs and growth, says Keir Starmer on 'landmark' India-UK trade deal
PM Modi in London: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Thursday that the 'landmark' Free Trade Agreement (FTA) that he is set to sign with his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, is a 'major win' for jobs and growth, as tariff cuts will lower prices on clothes, shoes, and food products. In a statement ahead of his much-anticipated bilateral talks with Modi at his country residence of Chequers on Thursday, Starmer also announced that nearly GBP 6 billion in new investment and export developments had been clinched as Indian firms expand their operations in the UK and British companies secure new business opportunities in India. The two leaders are also set to sign a renewed Comprehensive and Strategic Partnership, which will see closer collaboration on defence, education, climate, technology and innovation. 'Our landmark trade deal with India is a major win for Britain,' said Starmer. PM Modi landed in London on Wednesday, local time to expand bilateral ties in defence, trade, and technology. The formalisation of the landmark India-UK free trade deal is set to be a major outcome of his trip. PM Modi will hold wide-ranging talks with Starmer, today. The talks are expected to focus on imparting new momentum in the strategic ties between the two countries. 'It will create thousands of British jobs across the UK, unlock new opportunities for businesses and drive growth in every corner of the country, delivering on our Plan for Change,' Starmer added. 'We're putting more money in the pockets of hardworking Brits and helping families with the cost of living, and we're determined to go further and faster to grow the economy and raise living standards across the UK,' said Starmer. According to the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT), once the FTA comes into force, India's average tariff on UK products will drop from 15 per cent to 3 per cent. This will make it easier for British companies to sell products to India, from soft drinks and cosmetics to cars and medical devices. Whisky producers will benefit from tariffs slashed in half, reduced immediately from 150 per cent to 75 per cent and then dropped even further to 40 per cent over the next 10 years – giving the UK an advantage over international competitors in reaching the Indian market, the DBT said. 'The billions brought to our economy from the trade deal signed today will reach all regions and nations of the UK so working people in every community can feel the benefits,' said UK Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds. 'The almost GBP 6 billion in new investment and export wins announced today will deliver thousands of jobs and show the strength of our partnership with India as we ensure the UK is the best place in the world to invest and do business,' he said. Official statistics show the UK already imports GBP 11 billion in goods from India, with liberalised tariffs set to make it easier and cheaper to acquire products. For businesses, this could mean potential savings when importing components and materials used in areas such as advanced manufacturing or luxury and consumer goods. New analysis published along with the FTA claims in every region of the United Kingdom will benefit from an estimated GBP 4.8 billion increase to UK GDP each year in the long term. Sectors in the spotlight include manufacturing, set to benefit from tariff cuts on aerospace (11 per cent reduced to 0), automotives (110 per cent down to 10 per cent under a quota) and electrical machinery (down from 22 per cent down). Tariff cuts combined with a reduction in regulatory barriers to bilateral trade are estimated to increase UK exports to India by nearly 60 per cent in the long run – equivalent to an additional GBP 15.7 billion of UK exports to India when applied to projections of future trade in 2040, the DBT said. The official figures forecast an increase in bilateral trade by nearly 39 per cent in the long run, equivalent to GBP 25.5 billion a year, when compared to 2040 projected levels of trade in the absence of an agreement. The clean energy industry will have 'brand new, unprecedented access' to India's vast procurement market as the country makes the switch to renewable energy and continues to see growing energy demand. 'For financial and professional business services, locked in access will offer certainty to expand in India's growing market and measures such as binding India's foreign investment cap for the insurance sector, ensuring UK financial services companies are treated on an equal footing with domestic suppliers,' the DBT said. Meanwhile, 26 British companies are said to have secured new business in India, with Airbus and Rolls-Royce set to soon begin delivering Airbus aircraft – with over half powered by Rolls-Royce engines. The billions brought to our economy from the trade deal signed today will reach all regions and nations of the UK. During the talks, both nations will also agree to strengthen cooperation in tackling corruption, serious fraud, organised crime and irregular migration through enhanced intelligence sharing and operational collaboration.
