'Should do more to de-escalate..': China upset over Japan PM's surprise visit to Ukraine

After wrapping up his scheduled events in India, the prime minister secretly boarded the waiting plane in the early morning hours of Tuesday, the Japan Times daily quoted an NHK report.
&nbsp;

China on Tuesday hit out at Japan after its Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a surprise visit to Ukraine and overshadowed Chinese President Xi Jinping&rsquo;s meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow, saying Tokyo should do more to de-escalate the situation rather than aggravating it.
Beijing was caught by surprise as Kishida, who was on an official visit to New Delhi from March 19-21, entered Poland from India using a secretly chartered plane instead of the standard government aircraft, Japanese TV channel NHK reported.
The chartered plane left Tokyo&rsquo;s Haneda Airport at around 8 pm on Sunday, about three hours before a government plane carrying Kishida departed for India.

UK PM Rishi Sunak sacks Tory party chief over tax penalty row

Rishi Sunak removes Tory party chief over tax penalty row

Sunak had ordered an independent investigation into the Iraqi-born former Chancellor’s tax affairs amid growing Opposition demands for him to sack Zahawi.

Sunak had ordered an independent investigation into the Iraqi-born former Chancellor&rsquo;s tax affairs amid growing Opposition demands for him to sack Zahawi

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday sacked one of his Cabinet ministers and Conservative Party chairman, Nadhim Zahawi, after he was found to have been in serious breach of the Ministerial Code.
Zahawi, who was a minister without portfolio as the chief of the governing Tory party, had faced fierce pressure in recent days to quit over questions about his finances after it emerged that he had agreed a penalty settlement with His Majesty&rsquo;s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) department.
Sunak had ordered an independent investigation into the Iraqi-born former Chancellor&rsquo;s tax affairs amid growing Opposition demands for him to sack Zahawi.
His independent ethics adviser, Sir Laurie Magnus, submitted his assessment on whether the HMRC settlement amounted to a breach of the ministerial code.
&ldquo;When I became Prime Minister last year, I pledged that the government I lead would have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level,&rdquo; writes Sunak in his letter to Zahawi, released by Downing Street.
"Following the completion of the independent adviser's investigation &ndash; the findings of which he has shared with us both &ndash; it is clear that there has been a serious breach of the Ministerial Code. As a result, I have informed you of my decision to remove you from your position in His Majesty's government," he said.
He added that Zahawi should be "extremely proud" of his "wide-ranging achievements in government over the last five years", particularly crediting his "successful oversight of the COVID-19 vaccine procurement and deployment programme".
In the correspondence to Sunak, also released by Downing Street, Magnus said his overall judgement was that "Mr Zahawi's conduct as a minister has fallen below the high standards that, as Prime Minister, you rightly expect from those who serve in your government".
Earlier this week, Zahawi said he welcomed the investigation and looked forward to "explaining the facts of this issue" to Magnus &ndash; the UK Prime Minister's Independent Adviser on Ministers' Interests.
"In order to ensure the independence of this process, you will understand that it would be inappropriate to discuss this issue any further, as I continue my duties as chairman of the Conservative and Unionist Party," Zahawi said at the time.
The minister has insisted he "acted properly throughout" and any tax error was due to being &ldquo;careless&rdquo; and not deliberate.
The Opposition parties and even some members of the Conservative Party had called for Zahawi to step down as Tory chairman amid too many unanswered questions.
In his report, dated 29 January, Magnus notes: "Given the nature of the investigation by HMRC, which started prior to his appointment as secretary of state for education on 15 September 2021, I consider that by failing to declare HMRC's ongoing investigation before July 2022 &ndash; despite the ministerial declaration of interests form including specific prompts on tax affairs and HMRC investigations and disputes &ndash; Mr Zahawi failed to meet the requirement to declare any interests which might be thought to give rise to a conflict." He adds: "I also conclude that, in the appointments process for the governments formed in September 2022 and October 2022, Mr Zahawi failed to disclose relevant information &ndash; in this case the nature of the investigation and its outcome in a penalty &ndash; at the time of his appointment, including to cabinet office officials who support that process.
"Without knowledge of that information, the Cabinet Office was not in a position to inform the appointing Prime Minister."

Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi directed his party workers to avoid making ‘unnecessary remarks’ on films and celebrities to grab headlines, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has voiced his opinion.

Anurag Kashyap on PM cautioning BJP members to avoid ‘unnecessary remarks’ on films, actors

'I don’t think it will make any difference now. It was about controlling their own people,' said Anurag Kashyap.

Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi directed his party workers to avoid making &lsquo;unnecessary remarks&rsquo; on films and celebrities to grab headlines, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has voiced his opinion.

Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi directed his party workers to avoid making &lsquo;unnecessary remarks&rsquo; on films and celebrities to grab headlines, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has voiced his opinion.
At the trailer launch of his next film, &lsquo;Almost Pyar With DJ Mohabbat&rsquo;, in Mumbai, the director was asked if PM Modi&rsquo;s caution to party workers will help decrease anti-Bollywood sentiment. Kashyap said, &lsquo;It would have made a difference if he (PM Modi) had said this four years ago, I don&rsquo;t think it will make any difference now. It was about controlling their own people. I think things have gone out of hand now, it&rsquo;s not that anybody will listen to anyone. When you empower prejudice with silence, when you empower hatred with silence, it has become so powerful by itself that it has become (their) strength, that mob is out of control.&rsquo;
The filmmaker has often expressed his views on the on-going boycott Bollywood trend. In an earlier interview with The India Express, Kashyap had said, &lsquo;We are living in very strange times. Two years later, Sushant Singh Rajput still trends everyday. These are strange times, where everything is to be boycotted. It is not just one side, it is happening across. Everyone is being boycotted: political parties, Indian cricket team, everyone. This country now has a boycott culture. if you are not being boycotted, then you don&rsquo;t matter.&rsquo;
Zee Studio&rsquo;s Shariq Patel who is distributing the film under the corporate banner, welcomed PM Modi&rsquo;s statement, and said, &lsquo;I think der aaye durust aaye. We&rsquo;re happy that such a statement has been made. It was actually Anna, Suniel Shetty, who spoke about it first in the meeting with Shri Yogi ji when was in Mumbai a few weeks ago. I&rsquo;m happy it has happened because nobody was able to make sense of why it (Boycott Bollywood) has been happening. But now that the honorable Prime Minister has said it, I hope it at least slows down. We make films to entertain, sometimes they end up getting made well, sometimes they don&rsquo;t but that&rsquo;s ok. But it is good, it is laudable and the industry is happy about it.&rsquo;
&lsquo;Almost Pyar With DJ Mohabbat&rsquo; is written and directed by Anurag Kashyap. It stars Alaya F and Karan Mehta. The film is scheduled to be released in theatres on February 3.

 Joshimath land sinking: activists write to PM; number of buildings with cracks rise to 849

The development comes on a day the Supreme Court refused to entertain a plea seeking the court's intervention to declare the crisis in Joshimath a national disaster.&nbsp;

The Joshimath Bachao Sangharsh Samiti on Monday urged the Centre to take over the relief and rehabilitation work in Joshimath as it accused the Uttarakhand government of adopting a "lackadaisical" approach, even as number of buildings developing cracks in the subsidence-hit town rose to 849, out of which 165 are located in the danger zone. The Joshimath Bachao Sangharsh Samiti (JBSS) also raised pitch for scrapping of NTPC's Tapovan-Vishnugad hydel project.
The development comes on a day the Supreme Court refused to entertain a plea seeking the court's intervention to declare the crisis in Joshimath a national disaster, saying since the state high court is seized of a "broad range of issues" it should hear it as a matter of principle.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, JBSS convenor Atul Sati accused the state government of ignoring its warnings about the imminent disaster for 14 months and dealing with it now at a snail's pace.

Campaigning in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi halts his convoy to let an ambulance pass

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's carcade was stopped to let in ambulance pass in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district.
In the video widely shared on social media PM Modi could be seen giving priority to the ambulance as his carcade slows down.
The Prime Minister is in Himachal Pradesh for the last leg of BJP's campaign for the state polls due on Sunday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday pitched the Himachal Pradesh poll battle as between the "enemy of development" Congress and the "pro-development" BJP, stressing that people will get "double benefits" if his party is re-elected as he will be able to work more for them.
Addressing his last of the four poll meetings in the hill state at Sujanpur in Hamirpur district, he accused the Congress of "betraying" the people of Himachal and obstructing its development when it ran the government here till 2017 after he took office as prime minister in 2014.
If the Congress comes to power in the state, it will not allow his government to work, Modi claimed.
He said he can do much more for Himachal if people "anukul" (favourable) to him are in power here and asked them to break the convention of voting out incumbent governments to ensure the state's development.
"Congress by nature is an enemy of development. It is the BJP that can take Himachal to new heights of development. Therefore, it is necessary for the BJP government to retain power... It is a straight calculation.
"A BJP government should be formed in Himachal so that it can benefit from Delhi (the central government). It will bring double benefits," he told people at a rally in Sujanpur in Hamirpur district.

Modi spoke about his familiarity with Himachal Pradesh, a highlight of all his addresses at rallies after the assembly poll announcement, and said as someone aware of issues and people here, he will be able to work for the state while being in Delhi. He listed several measures for its progress after the BJP government under Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur was elected in 2017.
The prime minister launched a sharp attack on the main opposition party and linked it with "instability, corruption and scam" at his first rally in Chambi in Kangra district, which has the largest number of assembly seats in the state, and asserted that Himachal needs a stable and strong government of "double engine".

Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni said Monday she was ready to govern for "all Italians" after her eurosceptic populists swept to victory in general elections, putting her on course to guide Italy's most right-wing government since World War II.
According to projections around one in four voters in Sunday's election backed Meloni's Brothers of Italy party, which has neo-fascist roots.
But the party leads a coalition set to win a majority in parliament.
Her success represents a seismic change in Italy, a founding member of the European Union and the eurozone's third largest economy -- and for the EU, just weeks after the far-right outperformed in elections in Sweden.
Meloni, who campaigned on a motto of "God, country and family", is expected to become Italy's first female prime minister, although the process of forming a new government could take weeks.
At a time of soaring inflation, a looming energy crisis and the war in Ukraine, the 45-year-old sought to reassure those worried about her lack of experience and radical past.
Meloni said voters had sent a "clear message" of support for her party to lead their right-wing coalition to power.
"If we are called to govern this nation we will do it for all Italians. We will do it with the aim of uniting people, of enhancing what unites them rather than what divides them," she told reporters.
Her coalition allies, Matteo Salvini's far-right League and former premier Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, lagged behind her in the polls.
But together they were forecast to win around 43 percent, enough to secure a majority in both houses of parliament.
Full results are not due until later Monday but the centre-left Democratic Party, the coalition's main rivals, conceded, saying it was a "sad" day.
Turnout fell to a historic low of around 64 percent, about nine points lower than the last elections in 2018.

After a sexist news story on UK Parliamentarian Angela Rayner caused a huge controversy, Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke on the issue.
The objectionable story had claimed that Rayner crosses and uncrosses her legs to distract PM Johnson during Parliament proceedings. The story by media outlet The Mail On Sunday had quoted an anonymous leader of the ruling Conservative party to make the claim.
Speaking to reporters, PM Johnson condemned the story, and also warned of "terrors of the earth" for the person who made the misogynist allegation against Angela Rayner.
Johnson said, "It's hard to say on the basis of that particular story. But I have to say - I thought it was most appalling load of sexist, misogynist tripe. I immediately got in touch with Angela, and we had a very friendly exchange. If we ever find who was responsible... Well, I don't know what we'll do with him, but there will be the terrors of the earth. But it's totally intolerable, that kind of thing."
After the story was published, Angela Rayner, who is Deputy Leader of the Opposition Labour party, had accused Boris Johnson's "cheerleaders" of spreading "desperate, perverted smears in their doomed attempts to save his skin".
Rayner received widespread support after the story, with calls for tackling sexism and misogyny in UK's political circles and media.

A sexism controversy has hit the UK Parliament after an objectionable story run by media organisation The Mail On Sunday. The story targeted Angela Rayner, deputy leader of the Opposition Labour party.
The article quoted an anonymous leader of the ruling Conservative party to say that Rayner was crossing and uncrossing her legs while sitting across from Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Parliament.
The story said that she was doing it to "distract" the Prime Minister and throw him "off his stride". The scene was compared to the 1992 movie 'Basic Instinct' by the news outlet. The story sparked a storm, inviting widespread condemnation and calls for tackling misogyny.
Reacting to the story, Rayner said that she had been accused of a ploy to distract the "helpless PM" by "being a woman, having legs, and wearing clothes". She blamed PM Johnson's "cheerleaders" of spreading "desperate, perverted smears in their doomed attempts to save his skin".
Boris Johnson also condemned the news story. He tweeted, "As much as I disagree with Angela Rayner on almost every political issue I respect her as a parliamentarian and deplore the misogyny directed at her anonymously."
The Prime Minister is currently under continuous attack from the Opposition over illegal parties at his residence during the Covid lockdown. Johnson has already been fined by the Metropolitan Police. He is now facing a probe by lawmakers on whether he misled the Parliament over the parties. The Opposition has been calling for Johnson's resignation.

CAPTIONS Sexism storm hits UK Parliament Objectionable story on UK MP Angela Rayner targeted in story 'Crosses, uncrosses legs in House' Accused of 'distracting' UK PM Media outlet slammed for misogyny UK PM supported Angela Rayner

<div class="elementToProof">The controversial article on Angela Rayner quoted a Conservative leader to say that the MP was crossing and uncrossing her legs to distract PM Boris Johnson in Parliament.</div>

A sexism controversy has hit the UK Parliament after an objectionable story run by media organisation The Mail On Sunday.&nbsp;The story targeted Angela Rayner, deputy leader of the Opposition Labour party.
The article quoted an anonymous leader of the ruling Conservative party to say that Rayner was crossing and uncrossing her legs while sitting across from Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Parliament.
The story said that she was doing it to "distract" the Prime Minister and throw him "off his stride".&nbsp;The scene was compared to the 1992 movie 'Basic Instinct' by the news outlet.&nbsp;The story sparked a storm, inviting widespread condemnation and calls for tackling misogyny.
Reacting to the story, Rayner said that she had been accused of a ploy to distract the "helpless PM" by "being a woman, having legs, and wearing clothes".&nbsp;She blamed PM Johnson's "cheerleaders" of spreading "desperate, perverted smears in their doomed attempts to save his skin".
Boris Johnson also condemned the news story.&nbsp;He tweeted, "As much as I disagree with Angela Rayner&nbsp;on almost every political issue I respect her as a parliamentarian and deplore the misogyny directed at her anonymously."

Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok announced his resignation Sunday amid political deadlock and widespread pro-democracy protests following a military coup that derailed the country’s fragile transition to democratic rule.
Sudan had been undergoing a fragile journey toward civilian rule since the 2019 ouster of autocrat Omar al-Bashir, but was plunged into turmoil when military leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan launched his coup on October 25 and detained Hamdok.
Hamdok was reinstated on November 21 under a deal promising elections for mid-2023, but local media had recently reported he had been absent from his office for days, with rumours swirling over his possible resignation.
"I have tried my best to stop the country from sliding towards disaster," Hamdok said Sunday evening, addressing the nation on state television.
Sudan "is crossing a dangerous turning point that threatens its whole survival," he said.
Mass protests against the coup have continued even after Hamdok was reinstated, as demonstrators have distrusted veteran general Burhan and his promise to guide the country toward full democracy.
Protesters have also charged that the deal to reinstate Hamdok simply aimed to give a cloak of legitimacy to the generals, whom they accuse of trying to continue the regime built by Bashir.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is not in the race for the post of the prime minister though he has all the qualities required to become one, his party, the Janata Dal (United), said on Sunday.
The party is an ally of the BJP at the Centre as well as in the state.
Asked about the matter, Kumar said called it "nonsense". "I neither want nor expect (this)."&nbsp;
"Nitish Kumar is not a candidate for the post of the prime minister. The JD(U) is the most trusted member of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the leader of the alliance. But he (Kumar) certainly is a PM material," JD(U) General Secretary and spokesperson K C Tyagi told reporters after the party's national council meeting here.
&ldquo;We are in the NDA and firmly support the alliance. The party would welcome setting up of an NDA coordination committee to resolve various issues. During the period of Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, several works were done after setting up the coordination committee. "We will be happy if a similar coordination committee is formed again at the central and state levels for smooth functioning of the government and to put a stop to unwarranted comments made by leaders of alliance partners,&rdquo; Tyagi said.
To a question, he said the JD(U) will contest the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and Manipur in 2022.
"Our priority will be to form an alliance with the BJP (for the polls). If that does not happen, we will contest independently," the senior JD(U) leader said.
The party had not contested the UP assembly elections in 2017.
Rajiv Ranjan Singh, newly appointed JD(U) national president, had said on August 7 that the party is capable of contesting elections alone.
On the JD(U)&rsquo;s demand for caste-based census in the country, Tyagi said, &ldquo;A delegation led by the CM recently briefed the PM on the caste-based ensus and urged him to take an appropriate decision. The PM listened to the delegation. The caste census should be done at least once. It will be easy for the government to identify the poor other than Dalits and help formulate schemes for their welfare".
The caste-based census has not taken place in the country since British rule.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar rejecting his party's 'PM material' pitch as "rubbish".

After a meeting of the party's National Council in Patna on Sunday, senior JDU leader KC Tyagi said that although Nitish Kumar has all the qualities to become PM, he is not a claimant to the post as Narendra Modi is the NDA candidate for the top job.
Asked about the matter, Nitish Kumar called it "nonsense". "I neither want nor expect this," he said.

R&AW chief’s meeting with Nepal PM sparks criticism

Nepal Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli has come under fire for breaching diplomatic norms over his meeting with India&rsquo;s Research and Analysis Wing (R&amp;AW) chief Samant Kumar Goel at his official residence at Baluwatar on Wednesday evening. Goel's visit came ahead of the upcoming official trip of Indian Army chief Gen. M M Naravane to Nepal in November. The Indian intelligence chief&rsquo;s visit did not go down well with some political leaders of the country, including members of the ruling party Nepal Communist Party (NCP). Senior leaders said that the meeting was against diplomatic norms and doesn&rsquo;t serve Nepal&rsquo;s national interest. The ties between the two countries came under strain when Nepal protested the inauguration of an 80-km-long strategically crucial road connecting the Lipulekh pass with Dharchula in Uttarakhand on May 8.
