PM Modi demands UN reform, criticizing its current role amid global tensions. He advocates for India’s UNSC permanent seat and a focus on global cooperation.

Modi Criticizes UN, Calls for Reforms

PM Modi calls for reform of global bodies on Lex Fridman podcast

<p>Prime Minister Modi urges reform of global organizations, criticizing their relevance. He advocates India's UNSC seat, emphasizing global unity over conflict.</p>

<p>In a recent appearance on the podcast hosted by American scientist Lex Fridman, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed strong criticisms of international organizations, particularly the United Nations, amid escalating global tensions.</p>
<p>He described these institutions as "almost irrelevant" due to their lack of reform and inability to mitigate ongoing conflicts, such as those in the Middle East and the strained relations between China and the United States.</p>
<p>"The international organizations created to maintain global order have become nearly irrelevant. There is no reform within them, and they fail to fulfill their intended roles.</p>
<p>Those who disregard laws and norms act with impunity, and no one seems capable of restraining them," Modi remarked during the podcast.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic, Modi emphasized how it showcased the vulnerabilities of even the most advanced nations, highlighting a need for greater unity in a globally volatile climate.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"COVID-19 laid bare our limitations. Regardless of how progressive or scientifically advanced we may consider ourselves, during the pandemic, every country was brought back to reality.</p>
<p>We believed the world might emerge more united, moving towards a new order. Instead, we encountered increasing discord and uncertainty, exacerbated by conflicts," Modi observed.</p>
<p>He promoted a vision of cooperation over conflict, urging nations to adopt a development-focused approach. "In an interconnected and interdependent world, expansionism is unsustainable.</p>
<p>All nations need one another; no country can thrive in isolation. At every international forum I attend, the worry about conflicts is palpable. Hopefully, we'll soon see respite," he added.</p>
<p>Previously, in an address to the UN's 'Summit of the Future', Modi stressed the importance of reform for the UN's continued relevance, insisting that global actions must align with global ambitions.</p>
<p><strong>India's push for a permanent UN security council seat</strong></p>
<p>India has long advocated for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), asserting that the council, established in 1945, does not reflect the current geopolitical landscape.</p>
<p>India last served as a non-permanent member in 2021-22 and criticizes the UNSC for not meeting the challenges of the 21st century.</p>
<p>Currently, the UNSC consists of five permanent members&mdash;Russia, the UK, China, France, and the United States&mdash;who hold veto power, along with 10 non-permanent members elected for two-year terms by the UN General Assembly.</p>
<p>The United Kingdom, France, and the United States have expressed support for India's inclusion as a permanent member, underscoring New Delhi's significant role on the global stage.</p>

PM Modi criticizes global organizations like the UN amid current conflicts, urging for reform and cooperation. He stresses on India's push for UNSC reform to reflect modern realities.

Modi Critiques UN Effectiveness Amid Global Conflicts

PM Modi highlights UN's inefficacy amid global tensions, urging reforms for modern relevance. He stresses India's UNSC campaign and global cooperation post-pandemic.

PM Modi Slams UN, International Organisations On Podcast

<p>Indian PM Modi critiques the UN's effectiveness amid conflicts, highlighting post-pandemic disunity and suggesting global cooperation over expansionism.</p>

<p>During a podcast interview with American scientist Lex Fridman, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the effectiveness of international organizations, such as the United Nations, in addressing current global conflicts, pointing to ongoing Middle East wars and tensions between China and the US.</p>
<p>PM Modi expressed concerns about the increasing irrelevance of these institutions due to a lack of reform, stating that they are unable to enforce laws or curb the actions of those disregarding rules.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, PM Modi highlighted how it exposed vulnerabilities across nations, despite their advancements and progress. He lamented that instead of fostering global unity, the pandemic was followed by increased disunity and uncertainty on the world stage, exacerbated by ongoing conflicts.</p>
<p>Emphasizing the need to shift from conflict to cooperation, PM Modi advocated for a development-focused approach, highlighting that in a world as interconnected and interdependent as ours, expansionism is not viable.</p>
<p>He urged nations to support one another and expressed hope for alleviating global conflicts. In the past, at the UN's 'Summit of the Future', PM Modi emphasized the necessity of reform in the United Nations to maintain its relevance, urging that global actions must align with global ambitions. India has long campaigned for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), arguing that the current structure, established in 1945, no longer reflects contemporary geopolitical realities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>India served as a non-permanent member of the UNSC in 2021-22, and while the council's permanent members&mdash;Russia, the UK, China, France, and the US&mdash;hold veto power, the US, UK, and France have shown support for India joining as a permanent member.</p>

B Praak withdraws from BeerBiceps’ podcast amid Ranveer Allahbadia controversy

<p>Singer B Praak has withdrawn from BeerBiceps&rsquo; podcast, condemning Ranveer Allahbadia&rsquo;s offensive remarks. YouTube has removed the controversial episode, and legal action has been taken against Allahbadia and others.</p>

<p>Singer B Praak has decided to withdraw from an upcoming appearance on BeerBiceps' podcast following backlash against YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The singer shared a video on his Instagram, announcing his decision and expressing disappointment over the content promoted by Allahbadia.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the video, B Praak strongly condemned the offensive remarks and crass jokes. He revealed that he had initially agreed to appear on the podcast but opted out due to the "pathetic thinking" and "offensive language" being promoted.</p>
<p>"Radhe Radhe, doston! Kaise ho aap sab? Main na yaar, ek podcast mein jaane wala tha abhi, jo BeerBiceps ka tha, par humne cancel kar diya. Kyun? Kyunki aapko pata hai ki waha kaisi pathetic thinking hai aur kaise shabd use kiye ja rahe hain? Samay Raina ke show pe jo ho raha hai, yeh hamara Indian culture nahi hai. Yeh bilkul bhi hamara culture nahi hai," B Praak said in the video.</p>

<p>Criticizing the discussions on the show, the singer questioned how such content could be categorized as comedy.</p>
<p>"Aap apne parents ki kaunsi stories bata rahe ho? Aap unki kaunsi baatein kar rahe ho? Kis tareeke se baatein kar rahe ho? Yeh comedy hai? This is not at all comedy!

<p>B Praak also called out Ranveer Allahbadia, questioning how his actions contradicted his usual advocacy for "Sanatan Dharma and spirituality."</p>
<p>"Aur yeh Ranveer Allahbadia, aap Sanatan Dharma ko promote karte ho, spirituality ki baat karte ho. Aapke podcast pe itne bade-bade log aate hain, itne bade sant aate hain, aur fir bhi aapki soch itni ghatiya hai?" he added.</p>
<p>The controversy erupted after Ranveer Allahbadia made indecent and offensive comments on 'India's Got Latent,' which quickly went viral and sparked widespread outrage. His remark, "Would you rather watch your parents... or join in once and stop it forever?" was heavily criticized for being inappropriate and distasteful.</p>
<p>Following the backlash, Allahbadia issued a public apology, acknowledging that his comments were "inappropriate" and admitting to a "lapse in judgment."</p>
<p>Meanwhile, YouTube has removed the controversial 'India's Got Latent' episode featuring Allahbadia&rsquo;s remarks. Additionally, the Guwahati Police have registered a case against him and four others for promoting obscenity.</p>

Ratings agency Moody&rsquo;s revised its outlook on seven Adani Group companies to negative, citing the indictment of Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani and other group executives by the US Justice Department

News Wrap | Trump's Tariff Tussle; Sensex & Nifty Slip; Ola Electric's Gig Scooters; No Salary For Zomato

<p>Ratings agency Moody&rsquo;s revised its outlook on seven Adani Group companies to negative, citing the indictment of Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani and other group executives by the US Justice Department</p>

<p>Let&rsquo;s start with the big global story of the day&mdash;Donald Trump, who is set to take over as the 47th President of the United States on the 20th of January 2025, has announced plans to impose additional tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico. In a series of posts, Trump stated that, to curb the supply of drugs into the US, his administration will levy an additional 10 percent tariff on Chinese goods and 25 percent on products from Canada and Mexico. These additional tariffs will come into effect on the 20th of January and will remain in place until the supply of drugs decreases.<br><br>Asian markets traded mixed on Tuesday as investors weighed the impact of Trump&rsquo;s tariff announcements. Japan&rsquo;s Nikkei dropped by nearly one per cent, while South Korea&rsquo;s Kospi declined by half a per cent. On the other hand, China&rsquo;s CSI 300 edged up by two-tenths of a per cent, and Hong Kong&rsquo;s Hang Seng also managed to close higher, though with only a negligible uptick.<br><br>Back home, Indian equities erased their opening gains to end the day lower. The Sensex dipped by a tenth of a per cent to close just above 80,000. The Nifty also saw a minor decline, dropping 27 points. The broader market reflected a similar picture, with the Nifty Midcap Index closing with a slight uptick, while the Nifty Bank Index dropped marginally. Among the fifty constituents of the Nifty, 27 declined in Tuesday&rsquo;s trade, while 23 advanced. Shriram Finance emerged as the star performer, gaining over three per cent. Meanwhile, Adani Group stocks&mdash;Adani Enterprises and Adani Ports&mdash;were the key laggards.<br><br>Speaking of Adani Group stocks, it wasn&rsquo;t just the Nifty constituents from the group that slipped on Tuesday&mdash;all Adani Group stocks ended the day lower following actions by rating agencies. Ratings agency Moody&rsquo;s revised its outlook on seven Adani Group companies to negative, citing the indictment of Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani and other group executives by the US Justice Department. Earlier in the day, another ratings agency, Fitch, also announced negative rating actions on certain Adani Group entities.<br><br>Staying with stock-specific action, Ola Electric gained over five per cent in Tuesday&rsquo;s trade. The EV maker was in focus as it launched new electric scooters aimed at gig economy workers. Starting at 39,999 rupees, the models under the Ola Gig range will compete directly with offerings from players like Yulu. Additionally, these scooters are powered by the PowerPod, a portable battery pack that also functions as a home inverter.<br><br>More news from new-age companies&mdash;Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal has voluntarily extended his salary waiver of 3.5 crore rupees until the 31st of March 2026. Goyal had originally announced in FY21 that he would forgo his salary for 36 months. However, he has now decided to continue without his annual remuneration for an additional two years. Although he won&rsquo;t draw a salary, the Zomato chief will remain eligible for variable pay, which will be determined by the board at a later date. Shares of Zomato closed the day up by two-and-a-half per cent.</p>

Ride-hailing app Rapido has significantly narrowed its losses by 45 percent in the fiscal year 2024

News Wrap | Asian Markets Slump; Piyush Goyal Pushes For RBI Rate Cut; Rapido Cuts Losses

<p>Ride-hailing app Rapido has significantly narrowed its losses by 45 percent in the fiscal year 2024</p>

<p>Let&rsquo;s start with Asian equities which closed mostly in the red on Wednesday as investors digested the latest data on US inflation. The US Consumer Price Index for October rose by 2.6 percent annually, in line with expectations. However, it increased uncertainty around the Federal Reserve&rsquo;s future interest rate cuts. While another rate cut is still expected this year, experts anticipate the Fed may not be as aggressive as previously thought. As a result, Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped over two percent, and China's CSI 300 also lost almost two percent. Japan&rsquo;s Nikkei fell by half a percent, as the Japanese yen slid to its lowest level in four months against the US dollar.<br><br>Back home, Indian equities ended almost flat for the day, marking the sixth consecutive session of declines. The Sensex slipped by over 100 points, closing below 77,600, while the Nifty ended just above 23,500. However, midcaps showed some resilience, with the midcap index gaining nearly 250 points. Among the fifty constituents of the Nifty, 29 declined while 21 managed to close in the green. Eicher Motors was the standout performer, surging by 6.5 percent. On the other hand, FMCG giant Hindustan Unilever saw the sharpest drop, falling nearly 3 percent. <br><br>Shifting focus to the monetary policy space &ndash; Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has advocated for a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India, just weeks ahead of the Indian central bank&rsquo;s next monetary policy meeting starting December 4. Speaking at a CNBC-TV18 event, the minister argued that high interest rates won&rsquo;t be effective in curbing food inflation. He said, and I quote, &ldquo;Food inflation has nothing to do with managing inflation. <br><br>It&rsquo;s time that policymakers and monetary policy authorities should sit together and decide if food inflation needs to be part of calculating headline inflation. There should be a serious thought on this,&rdquo; end of quote. These comments come as India's retail inflation has surged past the RBI&rsquo;s upper tolerance level of six percent, largely driven by rising food prices. <br><br>In the startup space, ride-hailing app Rapido has significantly narrowed its losses by 45 percent in the fiscal year 2024. The company&rsquo;s losses dropped from 674 crore rupees in FY23 to 371 crore rupees in FY24. Rapido also reported a substantial increase in operating revenue, reaching 648 crore rupees&mdash;a 46 percent year-on-year rise. This improvement was attributed to the startup&rsquo;s expansion into new business segments and increased customer bookings.</p>

I&rsquo;m Avni Raja, and today is Monday, the fourth of November 2024.<br><br>Starting with the market sell-off in India: The Sensex and Nifty both rebounded slightly from their intraday lows but still closed down by over a percent each.The Sensex dropped over 900 points, ending around 78,800, while the Nifty fell more than 300 points, slipping below the 24,000 mark. Among the Nifty's fifty constituents, 42 declined while only eight advanced. Hero MotoCorp was the biggest laggard, falling over four percent despite reporting its highest-ever festive sales of 1.6 million units.<br><br>While bears have soured the mood on Dalal Street, there&rsquo;s a bright spot in macroeconomic data: India's manufacturing growth picked up pace in October, breaking a three-month deceleration trend. The HSBC India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 57.5 in October, up from an eight-month low of 56.5 in September. A PMI reading above 50 indicates an expansion in manufacturing activity, suggesting positive momentum in India&rsquo;s industrial sector.<br><br>Shifting focus to the IPO market: According to a Reuters report, Reliance Industries is planning to list its telecom arm, Reliance Jio, on the stock exchanges in 2025. The report cites two unnamed sources, who indicate that Mukesh Ambani's conglomerate has finalised plans for the IPO, as it believes Jio has now reached a stable business and revenue base, solidifying its lead in India&rsquo;s telecom sector. Analysts estimate the telecom business's valuation to exceed 100 billion dollars, making it a significant listing. Meanwhile, an IPO for Reliance Retail may be scheduled for a later date.<br><br>Here&rsquo;s the latest on the Zomato packaging date controversy: Food safety officials in Hyderabad recently discovered button mushrooms labeled with a "future date of packing" at Zomato's Hyperpure warehouse. In response, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal has issued a clarification on social media platform X, attributing the issue to a manual typing error by the vendor. Goyal explained that this error affected 90 packets of button mushrooms, which the warehouse team had flagged during quality control. He added that to prevent similar issues, Zomato has now delisted the vendor from their database.<br><br>With that, it&rsquo;s a wrap on this edition of the Business Hook News Wrap podcast.
