Discussed grave challenges posed by cross-border terrorism to India with Danish leaders, says Gulam Ali Khatana
Khatana, spokesperson of the BJP's Jammu and Kashmir unit, is a part of the delegation led by BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad. The leaders have conveyed India's stand in France, and Italy is currently in Denmark to present India's unwavering position against terrorism and its perpetrators.
"Honoured to be part of the All Party Delegation of MPs, led by Ravi Shankar Prasad, during our official visit to Denmark. We met Lars-Christian Brask, Deputy Speaker of the Danish Parliament, and briefed him on the heinous Pahalgam Terrorist Attack and India's firm response through Operation Sindoor. India's resolute stance against terrorism and the urgent need for a unified global fight to combat terror was strongly emphasised," Khatana posted on X on Saturday.
The delegation also met a group of former officials, Ministers, Members of Parliament, and diplomat who carry an influential voice in Denmark and abroad.
"We held insightful discussions with select former Members of Parliament, former Ministers, and a former diplomat, focusing on the grave challenges posed by cross-border terrorism to India, India's decisive response through Operation Sindoor, and broader global issues threatening peace and security," Khatana said in another post.
The nine-member delegation includes a diverse political representation: Ravi Shankar Prasad (BJP), Daggubati Purandeswari (BJP), Priyanka Chaturvedi (Shiv Sena-UBT), Ghulam Ali Khatana (BJP), Amar Singh (Congress), Samik Bhattacharya (BJP), M. Thambidurai (AIADMK), former Union Minister M.J. Akbar and former Ambassador Pankaj Saran.
"India's strong condemnation of the terror attack in Pahalgam and resolute action taken in the form of Operation Sindoor formed the focus of briefings given by the Indian delegation to the Danish side. It clarified that India's warranted response through 'Operation Sindoor' was diplomatically measured and commensurate," read a statement issued by the Indian Embassy in Copenhagen.
"The delegation emphasised India's zero-tolerance towards terrorism and stance that any act of violence would be responded to befittingly. India's appreciation of Denmark's public stance condemning the Pahalgam terrorist attack and the expression of solidarity with India was conveyed to the Danish side during the meetings," the statement added.
Furthermore, the delegation also met the local Indian diaspora in an interactive setting, emphasising Operation Sindoor's success and India's resolve to stand firm in our collective fight against terrorism.
The delegates are a part of India's global diplomatic outreach campaign to highlight the significance of Operation Sindoor and India's continued fight against Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism.

Why Siddaramaiah govt may hit a hurdle in its bid to roll out Dalit sub-quotas
The Congress-led Karnataka government is likely to take a crucial decision this week with regard to the party's pre-poll promise of granting internal reservations to 101 sub-groups in the Scheduled Castes (SCs) category. The Siddaramaiah-led government is facing the challenge of dividing the existing 17% reservation for the SCs in government jobs and public education between its sub-groups based on their backwardness. A report on the social, economic and educational situation among the SCs in Karnataka, prepared by the Commission headed by retired high court judge Justice H N Nagamohan Das, was submitted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on August 4. The report was accepted by the state Cabinet in a meeting held on August 7. 'In a short span of time, a scientific survey (on the SCs), which covered nearly 95% of the state's population, has been presented. The report has been given to all ministers and the Cabinet, while accepting it, has asked for it to be studied. A special Cabinet meeting will be held on August 16 and a decision will be taken on it,' Law Minister H K Patil said after the August 7 meeting. The survey on the SC sub-groups, held on the recommendation of the Justice Das Commission, has found the total Dalit population in Karnataka to be 1,07,01,982. After the removal of 1,77,662 Buda Jangam-Beda Jangam members, whose inclusion among Dalits had stirred a row, and 14,449 people who married non-SC persons, the total SC count in the state has been pegged at 1,05,09,871. According to the 2011 Census, the SCs made up 16.64% of Karnataka's 6.11 crore population. The Justice Das Commission has recommended for classifying the SC sub-groups into five categories – SC Left (Madigas), SC Right (Holeyas), 'touchable communities like Banjaras and Bhovis (classified as tribes in other states), small groups listed as 'others', and a new 'Category E'– instead of the existing four. 'Each category has many castes. If the 17% reservation available for SCs in Karnataka is to be distributed to these sub-groups, it should be done according to their population,' the Commission stated in its report. However, noting that the goal of social justice cannot be achieved if reservation is granted only based on population, the panel stated, 'In addition to population, the quota should be determined keeping in mind the educational, occupational and social backwardness.' The panel has recommended 1% reservation for Category A, which comprises 58 sub-groups whose population makes up 3.97% of the SC population and 6% quota for Category B (SC Left group) which is considered the most backward and makes up 34.91% of the SC population with 18 sub-groups. The Commission has called for 5% reservation for Category C (SC Right group) – considered less backward and more politically established which makes up 28.63% of the SC count with 17 sub-groups – and 4% quota for Category D (SC 'touchables'), which makes up 26.97% of the Dalit population with four sub-groups. The panel has also recommended 1% quota for Category E, which accounts for 4.52% of the Dalit population and has been categorised under three broad sub-groupings – Adi Dravida, Adi Andhra and Adi Karnataka. 'In the last 75 years, some SC sub-groups have been empowered to some extent through reservations but the life of some people from these same groups is still miserable with low education levels,' the panel noted in its report. Observing that some castes that have received the benefits of reservation have seen 'educational, occupational, political, economic and social mobility but some have not been able to get the benefit of reservation at all,' the panel said, 'Those who are better off have to make sacrifices for those who are less fortunate than them. The hungry should be fed first… In accordance with this policy, the quota of reservation should be distributed on priority.' Terming the data collected in the caste count as 'dynamic', the panel recommended a review of internal reservation according to the changing situation. 'The Karnataka government has taken steps to conduct a fresh caste survey. Similarly, the Union government has initiated the process of conducting a Census and a caste census. If there are significant discrepancies in the data, the reservation for SCs in the state can be revised,' the report said. The Commission also called for age relaxation for the SC members who have lost out on job opportunities owing to the Karnataka government halting recruitment in government services since October 2024 pending a decision on internal reservation. 'Some SC communities are enjoying the benefits of reservation by obtaining caste certificates of Adi Andhra, Adi Karnataka and Adi Dravida. Some of them know their original caste. For example, Manna, Kembatti, Mera, Madiga Dasari etc. However, their original names are not included in the SC list. The government should study this and take steps to include the names of these castes in the SC list,' the panel noted. Justice Nagamohan Das Commission The Justice Das Commission, constituted to study and submit a report on the internal reservations for SCs, submitted an interim report on March 27 and asked for a fresh SC survey citing lack of accurate data. Subsequently, the Siddaramaiah government held a door-to-door SC survey between May 5 and July 6, which covered 27,24,768 Dalit households. In August last year, the Supreme Court had allowed internal reservation among the SCs and the Scheduled Tribes (STs) in jobs and education to provide better support for the more disadvantaged groups. The demand for the SC survey has been made to ascertain the population of each sub-group to decide sub-quotas accordingly amid claims that a large slice of their quota was being cornered by upwardly mobile SC sub-castes like Holeyas, Banjaras and Bhovis. BJP's sub-quota bid In March 2023, the previous BJP government, enhanced reservation for the SCs from 15% to 17% by granting 6% of the reservation to the SC Left, 5.5% to SC Right, 4.5% to 'touchables', and 1% to other SC groups. Its basis was the 2011 Census numbers and some aspects of the 2012 Justice A J Sadashiva Commission report. Some of the most backward SC sub-groups like Madigas have been demanding the implementation of the Justice Sadashiva Commission report, which recommended 6% reservation for the SC Left group, 5% for SC Right, 3% for 'touchables' and 1% for others. This panel found that a majority of the reservation for SCs in Karnataka was being availed by sub-groups like Holeyas, Bhovis and Lambanis while most backward groups like Madigas remained 'deprived'. The BJP's move backfired to an extent as Bhovis and Banjaras went against the party in the 2023 Assembly polls over the reduction in their reservation from 15% to 4.5%. The sub-quotas, however, never saw the light of day then as the mandate for changing internal quotas was then with the Centre. The Siddaramaiah government's rationale behind setting up the Justice Das panel was that internal reservation to SCs given on the basis of population – like the Sadashiva panel report – is not likely to stand the legal test for want of proper data, as mandated by the top court. 'In the wake of a three-decade-old demand, the Cabinet has agreed in principle to grant internal reservation to SCs. The government has decided to take all 101 sub-groups into confidence and scientifically implement an internal quota,' Siddaramaiah had said after his Cabinet approved the setting up of the Justice Das panel. Challenge before Congress The issue is a tricky one for the state Congress, which has traditionally drawn support from the SC Right group, to which many of its prominent leaders like AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, Home Minister G Parameshwara and Social Welfare Minister H C Mahadevappa belong. While the SC Left group has backed the Congress in the past, several sub-groups have drifted towards the BJP citing lack of political representation. The group, which has benefited most from the SC quota, is likely to resist any sub-quota move by the Siddaramaiah government. To buy time on the issue, the Siddaramaiah government is likely to refer the Justice Das panel's report to a Cabinet sub-committee.

India in 'continuous dialogue' phase with IOC on 2036 Olympics bid: Sports Ministry
Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has said that India's bid for the 2036 Olympics is in the 'continuous dialogue' phase with the IOC, but the process is currently paused by new IOC President Kirsty Coventry. read more New Delhi: India's bid to host the 2036 Olympics is in the 'Continuous Dialogue' phase with the International Olympic Committee's Future Host Commission, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya told the Lok Sabha on Monday. In response to a query from Aam Aadmi Party's MP from Sangrur, Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, Mandaviya said the entire bidding process is being handled by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). 'IOA has submitted a letter of intent to IOC. The bid is now in the 'Continuous Dialogue' phase with the Future Host Commission of IOC,' the Minister stated in the lower house. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Minister, however, did not respond to Hayer's specific query of whether India is bidding to host the Olympics across multiple venues. Hayer asked if the proposed plan includes Hockey in Bhubaneswar, Rowing in Bhopal, Canoeing/Kayaking in Pune and Cricket in Mumbai. 'Bidding to host the Olympic Games in India is the responsibility of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and allotment of hosting rights for the Olympics is done by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) through a detailed host selection process,' Mandaviya stated. Although a host city has not been proposed by India officially, the Gujarat government has been at the forefront and its Sports Minister Harsh Sanghavi was part of an Indian delegation that visited IOC headquarters in Lausanne to discuss the bid last month. The 'Continuous Dialogue' phase involves a feasibility assessment by the IOC of the interested party's preparedness. However, as of now, the host selection process has been 'paused' by new IOC President Kirsty Coventry. Coventry, an Olympic gold-winning former swimmer who is the first woman and the first African President of the IOC, said the consensus among the members, during her maiden Executive Board meeting in June, was to reassess the process. Earlier, a decision on India's bid was expected next year. India is also facing competition from the likes of Qatar and Turkey, who are also in the 2036 race. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'There was an overwhelming support from the IOC members for a pause to be done and a review of the future host election process and we will be setting up a working group to look into this,' the 41-year-old Coventry had said in July. Coventry said the executive board members felt that the experience of already decided future hosts – Los Angles (2028 Summer Games), Brisbane (2032 Summer Games), French Alps (2030 Winter Games) – need to be studied before proceeding on future proposals. India's poor record in doping is an issue for the IOC, which has sought corrective measures by the IOA. The IOA has set up a panel to address doping in Indian sports after being rebuked by the IOC. Mandaviya also faced a question on the pitiable state of Indian football. While the national men's team has been hurtling from one setback to another, domestic football is also in doldrums after the top-tier Indian Super League was placed on hold due to technical issues. Congress' Adoor Prakash, who represents the Attingal constituency in Kerala, asked whether the Government 'noted the declining situation of Indian football' and that the team has slipped to the lowest FIFA ranking in the last nine years. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He also sought a lowdown on the measures being undertaken to revive the sport. The minister placed the onus on the All India Football Federation and blamed the poor rankings on the 'dynamic' of the process to determine them. 'Rankings of football teams are dynamic and influenced by match results, strength of opposition, and frequency of matches. 'The Sports Authority of India (SAI), an autonomous body under the aegis of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, regularly engages with the AIFF to review the performance and overall development of the sport and provides its advice accordingly,' he stated. 'At present, a total of 500 athletes are being trained in football discipline,' he added.
