Who is Mizoram's ZPM CM face Lalduhoma

ZPM CM face ex-IPS officer Lalduhoma has served in former PM Minister Indira Gandhi's security however later on he resigned the IPS and joined Politics. reportedly he was assigned to negotiate a peace accord with a Mizo militant faction under Indira's directions which was finally signed on 1987.

ZPM CM face Lalduhoma has served in former PM Minister Indira Gandhi's security however later he resigned as an IPS and joined politics. Reportedly he was assigned to negotiate a peace deal with a Mizo militant faction.

Lalduhoma, a former IPS officer, is set to become the CM in Mizrom after his recently launched political group ZPM stormed to power in the northeastern state.&nbsp; Mizoram was previously ruled by either Congress or Mizo National Front (MNF). But the question remains how Lalduhoma, who is also a former Congress MP, created history by becoming the leader of the first regional outfit in the state to storm to power.&nbsp; Lalduhoma served in the security of the former PM Indira Gandhi, and he resigned from the IPS to join the Congress.&nbsp; Reportedly, Lalduhoma has played a pivotal part in finalizing a peace deal with a Mizo militant faction. Lalduhoma flew to Londed to persuade Mizo militant faction leader for peace talks with ex-militant leader turned politician Zoramthanga and the deal was finally signed in WRITE YEAR with Indira Gandhi. &nbsp; Lalduhoma is being credited as the key player in creating the Mizoram state. In 1984, he won the Lok Sabha seat on Congress ticket, however, due to the rift with a state Congress leadership he was disqualified for not following the whip. And so, he became the first ever MP to be disqualified under anti-defection law in 1988. Lalduhoma was heading ZPM (a collation of many small regional parties) which was not registered at that time and fought the 2018 elections from Aizawl West-I and Sechhip as an independent candidate and defeated senior Congress candidate and incumbent CM Thanhawla. In 2020, Lalduhoma was disqualified as MLA on technical grounds to defect ZPM.&nbsp;

Over 13,600 SC, ST and OBC students dropped out of central varsities, IITs, IIMs in 5 years

Over 13,600 SC, ST and OBC students dropped out of central varsities, IITs, IIMs in 5 years

Over 13,600 reserved category students dropped out from central universities, Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) over the last five years, Lok Sabha was informed on Monday.
Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar shared the statistics in a written reply to a query by BSP member in Lok Sabha Ritesh Pandey.
In the case of Central Universities (CUs), Sarkar said that as many as 4596 OBC, 2424 SC, and 2622 ST students dropped out in the last five years.
In IITs, 2066 OBCs, 1068 SC and 408 ST students dropped out. In IIMs, the figure remained at 163, 188, and 91 for OBC, SC and ST students, respectively.
"In the higher education sector, students have multiple options and they choose to migrate across institutions and from one course/programme to another in the same institution.
"The migration/withdrawal, if any, is mainly on account of securing seats by the students in other departments or institutions of their choice or on any personal ground," he said.
The minister informed that National Law Universities (NLUs) have been established under the Acts enacted by the respective state legislatures and as such they are the state Universities.
"No such data on dropout students of NLUs is maintained by the central government," he said.
Responding further to the query on what the government is doing to address the issue, Sarkar said that the government has taken various steps like fee reduction, the establishment of more institutes, scholarships, and priority access to national-level scholarships to aid the students with poor financial backgrounds to pursue their education.
"For the welfare of SC and ST students, schemes like 'waiver of tuition fees in IITs&rsquo;, grant of national scholarships under Central Sector Scheme, scholarships in Institutes etc. are also there,&rdquo; he said.

In the backdrop of the US accusing an Indian citizen of working on a plot to kill a Sikh separatist, reportedly Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, S Jaishankar met an American NSA official for the first time  

Amid Nikhil Gupta indictment, S Jaishankar meets US Principal Deputy NSA

US Principal Deputy NSA meets External Affairs Minister Jaishankar

In the backdrop of the US accusing an Indian citizen of working on a plot to kill a Sikh separatist, reportedly Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, S Jaishankar met an American NSA official for the first time.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday met US Principal Deputy NSA Jon Finer and discussed various bilateral and global issues, in the first publicly announced meeting with an American security official after the US's charges relating to a thwarted plot to kill a Sikh separatist on its soil.
The meeting between Jaishankar and Finer here came days after American prosecutors linked an Indian official to a man charged with conspiring to assassinate Sikh separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
It is understood that the issue figured in the meeting though there is no official confirmation of it.
"Good to meet Principal Deputy NSA of the US Jon Finer this afternoon. Useful exchange of views on the global situation. Discussed taking our bilateral cooperation forward," Jaishankar said on 'X'.
India on November 30 described as a "matter of concern" the US linking the Indian official to a man charged with conspiring to kill Pannun, and asserted that follow up action will be taken based on findings of an inquiry panel investigating the allegations.
India has already constituted a probe team to investigate allegations relating to the foiled plot.
On November 29, US federal prosecutors charged Nikhil Gupta, 52, of working with an Indian government employee in the foiled plot to kill Pannun. The US prosecutors informed a Manhattan court that authorities in the Czech Republic arrested and detained Gupta.
Pannun, a leader of the so-called 'Sikhs for Justice', is wanted by Indian probe agencies on various terror charges.
The Financial Times, citing unnamed sources, first reported last month that US authorities foiled a plot to assassinate Pannun, and issued a warning to the Indian government over concerns it was involved in the plot.
The Washington Post on November 29 said the Biden administration was so concerned after discovering the plot that it sent CIA Director William J Burns and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to India in August and October respectively to demand investigation and hold those responsible to account.
Last week, the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken welcomed as "good and appropriate" India's decision to announce a high-level probe into the allegations.
"The government (of India) announced today that it was conducting an investigation, and that's good and appropriate, and we look forward to seeing the results," he told reporters in Tel Aviv
