PM to visit China for SCO Summit
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit China to attend the regional summit SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation) in Tianjin city from August 31 to September 1 - signalling another step towards normalising ties between the two nations that had frayed after the Galwan clash of 2020. Modi's last visit to China was in 2019. But he had met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Kazan in October 2024. The visit comes amid the imposition of stiff tariffs from US president Donald Trump and increasing pressure on India regarding oil purchase from Russia. There is expectation that under the circumstances, India's recalibration of ties with China is expected to act as a balancing factor for the US. India's participation would also be in the backdrop of Chinese support for Pakistan and the shadow of Pahalgam attack. In June, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had refused to sign a joint statement at a defence minister's meet under SCO because it skipped any mention of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives and instead, mentioned Balochistan, tacitly accusing India of creating unrest there. Pahalgam's exclusion from the document appeared to have been done at the behest of Pakistan. The next month, though, China issued a strong statement against terror as the US designated The Resistance Front, a proxy of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, as a foreign terrorist organisation for its involvement in the Pahalgam attack. "China firmly opposes all forms of terrorism and strongly condemns the terrorist attack that occurred on April 22... China calls on regional countries to enhance counterterrorism cooperation and jointly maintain regional security and stability," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian. This time at the SCO, discussions with 10 member countries is expected to cover terrorism and regional security along with trade. Efforts will be made to restore stability and dialogue in India-China relations. There is a possibility that PM Modi will have bilateral meetings with Russian President Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the summit. In October 2024, PM Modi and Xi Jinping had met at the BRICS summit in Kazan. Following that, efforts to reduce border tensions between the two countries had gained momentum and the resumption of the Kailash-Mansarovar yatra had helped normalise ties to a great extent. Established in 2001, SCO aims to promote regional stability through cooperation. The bloc currently has 10 member states -- Belarus, China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Oppn pushes for SIR debate in LS
New Delhi: Proceedings of both the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday were disrupted by the Opposition parties over the issue of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) conducted in Bihar and other issues, leading to adjournment of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha for the day. When the Lok Sabha assembled at 2 PM after the second adjournment, Opposition parties trooped into the well, raising slogans and demanding discussion on the SIR issue. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju expressed displeasure over the continuous protest by the Opposition MPs saying that the government is ready for discussion on every issue as per the constitutional and parliamentary procedures and rules. He said, SIR is under sub judice in the Supreme Court and it cannot be discussed in the House. He said, discussing the SIR issue in Parliament would mean breaking the rules and conventions. Rijiju said matters concerning the functioning and responsibilities of the Election Commission of India (ECI), being an autonomous constitutional body, could not be discussed in the House. Rijiju emphasized that rules are clear that discussion cannot be held on the working of autonomous bodies like Election Commission. He urged the protesting members to allow the House to function as important bills are listed to take up. Amidst the noisy scene, the House passed the Merchant Shipping Bill 2024 with amendments moved by Port, Shipping and Waterways Minister Sarbanada Sonowal. As the ruckus continued, the Presiding Officer adjourned the House for the day.

Bihar SIR: SC seeks EC reply on deletion of 65 lakh voters
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought the reply of the Election Commission of India (ECI) over a plea which alleged that the poll body had not shared the list of names of those who were removed from the Bihar voters' list after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) conducted in the state. A bench of Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan, and N K Singh issued the notice on the application filed by NGO ADR. Seeking an urgent hearing, Advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for ADR, said, 'We have filed an IA…the draft roll they have published says 65 lakh voters' names have been omitted… They have not given a list of those names…they have said people are dead, have migrated… They should disclose who the 65 lakhs are, who are dead, who have migrated…'. Bhushan said the names have been included in the list without the recommendations of the Booth Level Officers (BLOs). 'BLOs when forwarding the forms have said this person is not recommended by BLO…Whether BLOs have recommended or not recommended… this information will be very important,' Bhushan added. Justice Kant said, according to ECI's Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), every representative of political parties would be provided with the list at the block level. Bhushan, however, claimed that this was not done. 'They have not conveyed. In case they have given to some political party, reasons are not given,' he said. Justice Kant said it was only a draft preliminary list, and reasons may be given when the final list is released. The counsel appearing for the Election Commission said the poll body was obligated to make the draft roll public. He said, 'We can show that we have shared the list with the political party representatives.' The bench asked ECI to state all it had to say in its reply. 'If you have supplied, please give a list of political parties to whom you have supplied, so that Mr Bhushan's client can collect information from those authorised representatives,' said Justice Kant, giving the Commission time till Saturday. Justice Kant added that the court will ensure that every voter who is likely to be affected gets the requisite information.
