'Today we pay tributes to the victims of follies of history : President on partition
New Delhi, Aug 14 (UNI) President Droupadi Murmu today described partition as a folly of history and said the pain inflicted on the country by the partition should not be forgotten. ''As we look back on the past, we must not forget the pain inflicted by the Partition of the country,'' she said in her address to the nation on the eve of 79th Independence Day. Pointing out that today the country observed the 'Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Diwas' she said terrible violence was witnessed and millions were forced to relocate due to Partition. ''Today, we pay tributes to the victims of the follies of history,'' she added. She said August 15 is a date etched in the peoples' collective memory. During the long years of colonial rule, generations of Indians dreamt of the day of independence. Men and women, old and young, from all parts of the country, yearned to throw away the yoke of foreign rule. Their struggle was marked by robust optimism, which has continued to propel our progress since Independence too. As we salute the tricolour tomorrow, we will also be paying homage to the memory of all freedom fighters whose sacrifices won India Independence on 15th August 78 years ago. UNI RB

New Delhi, Aug 14 (UNI) Unites States has warned of increasing secondary tariffs against India depending upon the outcome of the Alaska meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump tomorrow. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in an interview with Bloomberg TV, said the decision would depend on the outcome of the Alaska meeting. "We've put secondary tariffs on Indians for buying Russian oil. And I could see, If things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up," Bessent said in the interview yesterday. 'It looks like he may be ready to negotiate and we put secondary tariffs on India, on the Indians, for buying Russian oil. And I could see if things don't go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up,' he said. Asked what about China who are the 'main purchasers of Russian crude,' Bessent said he is not going to get ahead of the President (Trump) but the President is best at 'creating leverage for himself.' President Trump will make it clear to President Putin that all options are on the table and 'sanctions can go up or they can also be loosened.' 'They can have a definitive life. They can go in indefinitely,' he said while asking Europeans to join the US in sanctions. UNI RB
