'Trump is miffed with India because...', former diplomat Vikas Swarup makes shocking claims
Why is Trump miffed with India? former diplomat Vikas Swarup decodes US President Donald Trump has made it a point, in almost all his media interactions in the recent past, to claim he played a role in brokering truce between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor in May. However, India has remained firm on its stance that no foreign party had any role in ceasefire. New Delhi's this unyielding stance has miffed President Trump, said former diplomat Vikas Swarup. One of the reasons behind President Trump announcing strict tariffs is because India's decision not to buckle under his pressure tactic. The former High Commissioner to Canada described the United States' current relationship with Pakistan as a short-term, tactical arrangement driven largely by financial interests, while stressing that US-India ties remain strategic. In an interview with the news agency ANI, Swarup said, 'We have to understand why these tariffs have been imposed….One, Trump is not happy with India because we are a member of BRICS…he has got this notion that BRICS is an anti-American alliance which is hell-bent on creating an alternative currency to the dollar…he feels that India should not be a member of the BRICS.' 'Trump has now said almost 30 times that it was he who got the two countries to stop back from the brink, who stopped a nuclear conflagration in the subcontinent. So, he is miffed that India has not acknowledged his role, whereas Pakistan has not only acknowledged his role but has even nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize,' Swarup added.

BCI announces three-year moratorium on new law colleges
New Delhi [India], August 14 (ANI): The Bar Council of India (BCI) has approved the Rules of Legal Education, Moratorium (Three-Year Moratorium) 2025, which will remain in force for three years once this moratorium, no new law colleges will be set up or granted approval anywhere in India. Existing institutions will also not be allowed to start new sections, courses, or batches without prior written permission from the BCI. Pending applications that have already reached the final stage of approval will not be affected and will continue to be processed as per the BCI said the move is aimed at stopping the decline in the quality of legal education caused by the rapid growth of sub-standard institutions, easy approvals without proper checks, commercialisation, academic malpractice, and lack of qualified faculty. With about 2,000 law colleges already in operation, the Council believes the focus should now be on improving quality rather than expansion. The moratorium is backed by provisions of the Advocates Act, 1961 and follows earlier measures, including a similar pause in 2019 and court guidance in 2020. The Council has also urged state governments, universities, and other bodies not to forward proposals for new law colleges during this exceptions will apply, such as proposals meant exclusively for socially and educationally backwards classes, SC/ST communities, economically weaker sections, persons with disabilities, and institutions in remote or tribal areas. However, these will be allowed only if strict conditions are met, including proper government clearances, infrastructure, and faculty the moratorium, existing colleges will face stricter inspections and compliance audits. Violations could lead to withdrawal of BCI approval, derecognition of degrees, and legal action against institutions and officials BCI will review the policy each year and may extend, modify, or repeal it depending on circumstances. The Council has called on all stakeholders to prioritise quality over quantity and uphold the highest standards in legal education. (ANI)
