Three important decisions regarding the farmers' movement were taken at the national meet of representatives of all the farmers' organizations associated with the SKM, held in Ghaziabad on Sunday. In a statement issued by the SKM, the farmers' body claimed that neither the committee on Minimum Support Price (MSP) has been formed, nor the false cases registered against the farmers during the agitation had been withdrawn. It also accused the government of not being ready to consider the biggest demand of the farmers -- a legal guarantee on MSP. In protest against this alleged betrayal by the government, Protest Against Betrayal public meetings will be organized at district level, from the beginning of the monsoon session of Parliament on July 18 till July 31 -- the martyrdom day of Shaheed Udham Singh -- across the country, the SKM said in its statement.

The court said it is the responsibility of Parliament to show its collective will to restrain criminals from entering politics or legislature to save democracy and the country governed on democratic principles and the rule of law. A Bench of Justice Dinesh Kumar Singh made the observations while rejecting the bail plea of BSP MP Atul Kumar Singh, alias Atul Rai. Considering the criminal history of 23 cases against Rai, might of the accused, evidence on record and the possibility tampering with the evidence, the Bench said it did not find any ground to grant bail to him at this stage. Rai was booked by the Hazratganj police in Lucknow for abetting the suicide of a girl and her witness outside the Supreme Court in August last year. In the course of hearing, the Bench came across that in 2004, 24 per cent of Lok Sabha MPs had criminal cases pending, which increased to 30 per cent in 2009 elections. In 2014, it went up to 34 per cent. In 2019, 43 per cent MPs elected to the Lok Sabha Sabha were having criminal cases pending against them. The Bench said despite the fact that the Supreme Court has taken notice of criminalisation of politics and imperative needs of electoral reforms, Parliament and the Election Commission have not taken adequate measures to protect the Indian democracy from going into the hands of criminals, thugs and law-breakers. No one can dispute that the present day politics is caught in crime, identity, patronage, muscle and money network, It said. Nexus between crime and politics is a serious threat to democratic values and governance based on the rule of law. Elections of Parliament and state legislature, and even for local bodies and panchayats are very expensive affairs, the Bench said. There is an unholy alliance between organised crime, politicians and the bureaucrats, it added. The court said the phenomenon has eroded the credibility, effectiveness and impartiality of the law enforcement agencies and the administration. This has resulted in a lack of trust and confidence in the administration and justice delivery system of the country, it said. The court noted that accused such as Rai won over witnesses, influenced investigation and tampered with evidence by using his money, muscle and political power. Alarming number of criminals reaching Parliament and state assembly is a wake-up call for all, the court said.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Parliament,the Supreme Court,Bench,The Lucknow Bench,the Allahabad High Court,the Election Commission of India,Dinesh Kumar Singh,BSP,Atul Kumar Singh,Hazratganj","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-04T16:33:05.952020+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"XaMnk6O1S3ee","slug":"english/voting-starts-in-papua-new-guinea-general-elections","title":"Voting starts in Papua New Guinea general elections","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Papua_New_Guinea_Election_79612_8ZR0KyI-2.jpg","coverCaption":"FILE - Children play in a local neighborhood in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, Nov. 15, 2018.

Addressing a media briefing, Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara said diesel shipments will reach Sri Lanka on July 8-9, July 11-14 and the third shipment on July 15-17. He said the petrol shipment will reach Sri Lanka on July 22-23. Meanwhile, due to the current fuel shortage, the Education Ministry declared next week from July 4 to July 8 as a holiday week for all government and state-approved private schools. The sessions of Parliament have also been curtailed to three days instead of the normal four days. From last week, the state fuel entity Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) stopped issuing fuel to private vehicles with refilling only limited to essential services. The Indian Oil Company managed Lanka IOC served the individual customers on a limited basis triggering miles long queues near LIOC’s over 200 refilling stations. Wijesekara said the government has made arrangements to purchase fuel from the LIOC’s storage in the eastern district of Trincomalee. “We have on June 30, paid USD 11 million to the LIOC for a petrol shipment scheduled to arrive on July 22, Wijesekara said, adding on July 8 another USD 19.95 million would be paid to the LIOC while also using an amount left under the Indian Line of Credit (ILC) to complete the payment. On Monday, the Sri Lankan government announced that only essential services will operate from midnight till July 10 and all other operations will be temporarily suspended as the country of 22 million did not have enough fuel supplies. Sri Lanka’s unprecedented economic crisis caused by forex shortages has led to a severe crisis in the energy sector. Fuel shortages have led to serpentine queues at retailers and with the end of the credit line worth USD 700 million granted by India, the pumps have run dry. The Sri Lankan government is exploring options to purchase discounted oil from Russia, as the island nation desperately looks to replenish its dwindling fuel stocks amid an unprecedented economic crisis due to a crippling shortage of foreign exchange reserves. Sri Lanka’s Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera flew to Qatar last week to negotiate a long-term fuel supply deal with the Gulf nation. The Lanka IOC has expanded its distribution network by providing fuel continuously when the CPC pumps went largely dry. The nearly-bankrupt country, with an acute foreign currency crisis that resulted in foreign debt default, had announced in April that it is suspending nearly USD 7 billion foreign debt repayment due for this year out of about USD 25 billion due through 2026. Sri Lanka's total foreign debt stands at USD 51 billion. Sri Lankans continue to languish in long fuel and cooking gas queues as the government is unable to find dollars to fund imports for fuel and other essentials.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Sri Lanka,LIOC,Sri Lankan,Wijesekara,Kanchana Wijesekara,the Education Ministry,Parliament,entity Ceylon Petroleum Corporation,The Indian Oil Company,the eastern district","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-03T14:12:05.278920+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"hpbqCRF5yaQQ","slug":"english/over-16000-prospective-parents-waiting-to-adopt-a-child-for-past-3-years-official-data","title":"Over 16,000 prospective parents waiting to adopt a child for past 3 years: Official data","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-07-03T09:33:04.879984+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656840784.276634, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" New Delhi, Jul 3 (PTI) More than 16,000 prospective parents have been waiting for over three years to adopt a child, with officials attributing the slowdown to availability of fewer children who are legally free for adoption.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" According to data shared by officials of the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) in response to an RTI filed by PTI, there are 28,501 prospective parents whose home study reports have been approved and are in queue for adopting a child.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Out of them, 16,155 prospective parents whose home study reports have been approved three years ago are still waiting in queue for adoption, according to the data.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" As of June 28, there are 3,596 children legally free for adoption, including 1,380 with special needs.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\\"The average waiting period for adoption is 2-2.5 years and then there are very few children who are legally free for adoption, making it further difficult for prospective parents to find children for adoption,\\\" a senior official said.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" According to official data, there are 2,971 children living in specialised adoption agencies who fall under the category of being \\u201cnot adoptable\\u201d while there are a total of nearly 7,000 children in the specialised adoption centre.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\u201cThe children falling under the non-adoptable category are those children whose biological parents have not given consent for them to be put for adoption but they are put in child care homes as the parents are unable to support and take care of their child.

According to data shared by officials of the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) in response to an RTI filed by PTI, there are 28,501 prospective parents whose home study reports have been approved and are in queue for adopting a child. Out of them, 16,155 prospective parents whose home study reports have been approved three years ago are still waiting in queue for adoption, according to the data. As of June 28, there are 3,596 children legally free for adoption, including 1,380 with special needs. The average waiting period for adoption is 2-2.5 years and then there are very few children who are legally free for adoption, making it further difficult for prospective parents to find children for adoption, a senior official said. According to official data, there are 2,971 children living in specialised adoption agencies who fall under the category of being “not adoptable” while there are a total of nearly 7,000 children in the specialised adoption centre. “The children falling under the non-adoptable category are those children whose biological parents have not given consent for them to be put for adoption but they are put in child care homes as the parents are unable to support and take care of their child. If a child is over five years of age, consent from them is also needed before putting them up for adoption,” another official explained. In the last Parliament session, a parliamentary panel has recommended that the adoption process in the country be simplified and stressed the need for a close relook at various regulations guiding the procedure of adoption. Also, last year the government amended the Juvenile Justice Act under which increased powers and responsibilities were given to district magistrates to speed up the adoption processes in the country. Earlier, adoption processes were under the purview of courts. Child rights experts, however, believe that more is required than just simplifying the process. Kumar Shailabh, co-director of HAQ: Centre for Child Rights, said adoptions are a very tricky process and prior to amendment to the Juvenile Justice Act there was a very firm process involving courts. But now the process will be looked into by district magistrates and the district administration has several others things to do and adoption is an addition to it so the checks and balances required for adoption has become very vague and whether they have the capacity or bandwidth to check or confirm whether adoption is legal or illegal...because there have been cases of trafficking in the name of adoption...so now the problem is going to take another shape and size after the amendment, he said. Executive Director of NGO Centre for Advocacy and Research Akhila Sivadas said the issue is not just about simplifying the procedure, it is also about how governments deliver or implement such programmes. Starting from educating the public on the issue till the stage when you hand over the child to the prospective parents, the functionaries and implementers tasked with doing it should view it as public service and will feel less burdened and discouraged by all the administrative rules if they foster community and citizen participation and involvement, she said. Sivadas said this alone will ensure that everyone gets sensitised on the issue and is able to approach it with an understanding of the role they are playing as a community and as prospective parents. For adopting a child, a prospective parent has to upload their application for adoption with relevant documents on CARA's website following which a home study is conducted by a social worker. After which, profiles of children identified as legally free for adoption are then shared by the specialised adoption agencies with the prospective parents who select a child and the matter is then looked upon by the district magistrate.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"the Juvenile Justice Act,New Delhi,Jul 3,the Central Adoption Resource Authority,RTI,Parliament,Centre for Child Rights,NGO Centre for Advocacy and,Research Akhila Sivadas","originalPublishedOn":"2022-07-03T09:33:04.298434+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"oCBEyck9Jv7H","slug":"english/sena-mp-sanjay-raut-appears-before-ed-leaves-after-more-than-ten-hours","title":"Sena MP Sanjay Raut appears before ED, leaves after more than ten hours","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-07-01T16:57:04.683939+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656694623.925936, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Mumbai, Jul 1 (PTI) Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Friday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here to record his statement in a money laundering probe, and left after more than ten hours.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Raut reached the ED office located at the Ballard Estate in south Mumbai around 11.30 am.

Johnson, who also recently survived a no-confidence vote, had just returned from the Group of Seven and NATO summits and was looking to put those embarrassments and two recent byelection defeats behind him.British tabloid The Sun reported that Pincher groped two men Wednesday night at a private members club in London for the Conservative Party. It was the second time that Pincher quit a government whip job. In November 2017, he resigned as a junior whip after a complaint that he made an unwanted pass at former Olympic rower and Conservative candidate Alex Story.But Pincher was eventually brought back into a government position by Prime Minister Theresa May in 2018 as deputy chief whip. When Johnson took over in July 2019, Pincher was moved to the Foreign Office as a junior minister before returning to the government whips office again.Britain's opposition Labour Party said that Johnson's government had questions to answer about why Pincher was put into the position in the first place.“This latest episode shows how far standards in public life have been degraded on Boris Johnson’s watch,” Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said.

Sri Lanka's Cabinet on Monday approved the proposal presented by the Minister of Justice, Prison Affairs and Constitutional Reforms, to publish the bill in the Government Gazette. The bill was published in a gazette notification issued by the minister on June 29 and now it will be presented to Parliament for approval, the Colombo Page reported. The new legislation sets out a broad definition of the issues to be considered and met in the appointment of the President, the powers of the Prime Minister and the nature of the post, the new commissions and how the Cabinet will be collectively accountable. The 22nd Amendment was originally named 21A and meant to replace the 20A. The amendment was formulated amid the ongoing economic crisis in the country which also caused a political crisis. The amendment will be called 22nd as another draft 21st Amendment has already been gazetted. Sri Lanka is facing the worst economic crisis since independence in 1948 which has led to an acute shortage of essential items like food, medicine, cooking gas and fuel across the country. The street protests have been triggered across the country over the poor handling of the economic crisis and the lack of accountability to it. Protesters are demanding the resignation of president Gotabaya Rajapaksa. After the resignation of his brother Mahinda Rajapaksa as the prime minister to pave the way for a consensus government of all parties, President Gotabya Rajapaksa pledged to introduce the 21st Amendment to the Constitution. The 20A adopted in 2020 had given unfettered powers to President Rajapaksa after abolishing the 19th Amendment. The 21st Amendment proposed by the main opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) party was struck down by Sri Lanka's Supreme Court which ordered a national referendum for it to become a law. With that, the amendment became a non-starter. The powerful Rajapaksa family tightened their grip on power after their massive victory in the general elections in August 2020, which allowed them to amend the Constitution to restore presidential powers and install close family members in key positions. Current Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was the main sponsor of the 19th Amendment in 2015 which empowered Parliament over the executive president. The constitutional reform was a major plank of the agreement between Rajapaksa and Wickremesinghe when he took over the job of prime minister on May 12.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Sri Lanka's,Parliament,Rajapaksa,Prison Affairs,Cabinet,The 22nd Amendment,21st Amendment,Sri Lanka,Gotabaya Rajapaksa.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp,Mahinda Rajapaksa","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-30T15:30:07.194201+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"FFrsQ6SO1U2m","slug":"english/jdu-assures-to-take-up-naga-issue-in-parl","title":"JD(U) assures to take up Naga issue in Parl","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-30T13:30:05.411794+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656595804.682551, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Kohima, Jun 30 (PTI) JD(U) on Thursday assured that it will take up the Naga Political Issue in Parliament and to ask the Centre to find a solution to the vexed problem.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" JD(U) president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lallan Singh said BJP is part of the all party government in the north eastern state and its commitment of 'election for solution' (to the Naga imbroglio) made before the state poll in 2018 has not been fulfilled though the five-year term of the assembly is coming to an end.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\u201cWe see in Nagaland that commitments are not being fulfilled because of which there is no permanent peace.

On behalf of the party, I demand that the home minister now announce a time-bound schedule for the completion of the delimitation exercise and the conduct of the MCD polls, Rai said.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Delhi,AAP,New Delhi,Amit Shah,Aam Aadmi Party's,Gopal Rai,the Bharatiya Janata Party,the unified Municipal Corporation,Parliament,the Delhi Municipal Corporation","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-28T15:06:04.349394+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"1snsTCz8T0p7","slug":"english/show-dissent-and-get-ed-notice-ncp-mp-supriya-sule","title":"Show dissent and get ED notice: NCP MP Supriya Sule","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-28T14:06:05.931951+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656425164.979668, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Mumbai, Jun 28 (PTI) NCP Member of Parliament Supriya Sule on Tuesday lamented anyone who shows dissent now a day gets an ED notice and maintained law enforcement agencies do very serious work and hence they should be completely independent.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Talking to reporters here, she said notices by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which she said was hardly known to people a few years ago, are being served as if they are 'khairat' (donation).\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The Lok Sabha MP from Baramati in Pune district was replying to a query about the ED summoning Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Raut in connection with a money laundering probe.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Sule quipped that five years ago, nobody knew about the ED, but now even people from villages know about the central law enforcement agency tasked with fighting economic crimes.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\\"The work of enforcement agencies is very serious.

With that, the amendment became a non-starter.The Constitutional Affairs Minister Wijedasa Rajapaksha said the 22nd Amendment was compiled by talking to all parties including the SJB which was keen to avoid provisions which the Supreme Court would see as needing to be subject to a referendum.Commenting on the government’s draft on 22A, the main Opposition legislator Lakshman Kiriella said it was meaningless as none of Rajapaksa’s powers were not clamped by it.The government said the 22A draft bill would now be gazetted and be presented in Parliament.The powerful Rajapaksa family tightened their grip on power after their massive victory in the general elections in August 2020, which allowed them to amend the Constitution to restore presidential powers and install close family members in key positions.Current Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe was the main sponsor of the 19th Amendment in 2015 which empowered Parliament over the executive president.The constitutional reform was a major plank of the agreement between Rajapaksa and Wickremesinghe when he took over the job of prime minister on May 12.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Sri Lanka's,Cabinet,Constitution,Parliament,SJB,Bandula Gunawardena,Amendment to the Constitution,Gunawardena,Sri Lanka,Gotabaya Rajapaksa.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-28T08:39:05.002805+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"kYkKTrTv8Kpl","slug":"english/sri-lanka-to-operate-only-essential-services-till-july-10-amidst-acute-fuel-shortage","title":"Sri Lanka to operate only essential services till July 10 amidst acute fuel shortage","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-27T15:27:04.858660+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656343624.086319, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Colombo, Jun 27 (PTI) The Sri Lankan government on Monday announced that only essential services will operate from midnight till July 10 and all other operations will be temporarily suspended as the crisis-hit nation faces acute fuel shortage.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The move came days after Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on Wednesday last said that the debt-laden economy of the island nation has \\u201ccollapsed\\u201d after months of shortages of food, fuel and electricity, and cannot even purchase imported oil.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Sri Lanka's Cabinet of Minister decided that only essential services will operate from Monday midnight to July 10, newsfirst.lk web portal reported.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" The state-run Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) will issue diesel and petrol only for essential services with effect from midnight, it said.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" These services include ports, airports, health, food distribution and agriculture, the report said, quoting transport minister Bandula Gunawardena.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" \\u201cAll other sectors must prepare from work from home programme,\\u201d he said, urging the public to support the government's move to limit the consumption of fuel.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Only essential services will be allowed to function till July 10 and all other operations will be temporarily suspended, the minister said.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Sri Lanka has been facing the worst economic crisis since independence in 1948 which has prompted an acute shortage of essential items like food, medicine, cooking gas and fuel across the island nation.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \" Wickremesinghe told Parliament on Wednesday that currently CPC has USD 700 million in debt. \\u201cAs a result, no country or organisation in the world is willing to provide fuel to us.

The tenure of the current assembly is till January 16, 2024, but assembly elections would be held prior to that and could be held in late 2023.The TRS has nine Lok Sabha and seven Rajya Sabha members besides 101 MLAs in the Telangana Legislative Assembly.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"TRS,Telangana,Yashwant Sinha,Sinha,Congress,New Delhi,Jun 27,Parliament House,India,Parliament","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-27T09:45:04.367779+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"AJEfzhq1rdld","slug":"english/punjab-bypolls-ex-cop-simranjit-singh-mann-wins-sangrur-dedicates-victory-to-jarnail-singh-bhrindanwale","title":"Ex-cop dedicates Sangrur bypoll victory to Khalistani militant","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_Gg7R3jvmZ.jpg","coverCaption":"Simranjit Singh Mann (center) won the Lok Sabha bypoll from ","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-27T07:32:10.834689+00:00","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSangrur by-election was triggered by Bhagwant Mann’s resignation as MP\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSimranjit Singh Mann of SAD-Amritsar won the bypoll\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMann attributed his victory to teachings of Jarnail Singh\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1656315129876,\\\"strCount\\\":2503,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"A former Indian\\\\nPolice Service (IPS) officer who quit the force in protest after the infamous\\\\nOperation Blue Star, the military op at Punjab’s Golden Temple to kill Jarnail\\\\nSingh Bhrindanwale, has now become a member of \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/topic/parliament\\\\\\\"\u003eParliament\u003c/a\u003e from Sangrur.\\\\nSimranjit Singh Mann, leader of Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) – unrelated to\\\\nShiromani Akali Dal – who won the seat after over two decades has credited the\\\\nteachings of Jarnail Singh Bhrindanwale for his victory. \\\"}},{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"“It is a win of\\\\nour party workers and of the teachings that Jarnail Singh Bhrindanwale has\\\\ngiven,” said Mann after his victory Sunday.

Mann, 77, who returns to Parliament after two decades, defeated the Aam Aadmi Party's Gurmail Singh by a margin of 5,822 votes. Mann polled 2,53,154 votes, while Singh got 2,47,332, according to the Election Commission figures. For the AAP, the humiliating defeat comes just three months after it registered a landslide victory in the 2022 assembly elections, winning 92 of the 117 assembly constituencies. The recent murder of popular singer Sidhu Moosewala is being seen as one of the factors. CM Bhagwant Mann himself has won from Sangrur parliamentary constituency twice -- in 2014 and 2019. His recent win was from Dhuri, an assembly segment in the same Lok Sabha constituency. Answering a TV reporter's question on his victory, Simranjit Mann recalled the death of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and others during Operation Blue Star at Amritsar's Golden Temple in 1984. Mann had quit the Indian Police Service in protest over the Army operation to flush out militants from the shrine. The Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) president had last won the same seat in 1999. His earlier parliamentary victory was in 1989 from Tarn Taran, when he created a row insisting that he should be allowed entry into the House with a sword, saying this was a Sikh's right. Congress candidate Dalvir Singh Goldy took the third spot after AAP in the results declared Sunday. BJP's Kewal Dhillon and SAD's Kamaldeep Kaur Rajoana followed. Goldy polled 79,668 votes, Dhillon 66,298 and Kaur 44,428, all three of them losing their security deposits. Less than a percentage point in the vote share separated the winner and the AAP candidate. The SAD (Amritsar) cornered 35.61 per cent of the votes polled, AAP 34.79, Congress 11.21, BJP 9.33 and SAD 6.25. Punjab's ruling party conceded defeat even before the results were officially declared. “We respect the mandate of the people for the Sangrur seat. We also congratulate Simranjit Singh Mann, an AAP spokesperson told reporters. The AAP cited the low turnout as the major reason of the defeat, though it said it is taking the bypoll result very seriously and will review its performance. SAD (Amritsar) leader's supporters took to the roads in Sangrur to celebrate the victory. Some distributed ladoos. Many rode in cars and on two-wheelers, raising slogans. Many Mann's supporters were seen doing the thigh-slap and raising their index finger to the sky, a gesture associated with singer Sidhu Moosewala. The AAP defeat in Sangrur is being attributed partly to the outrage over the recent murder of popular Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala, and the alleged deterioration of law and order under the new state government. Speaking with reporters, Mann dedicated his victory to the people of Sangrur, to the late actor-activist Deep Sidhu and singer Moosewala, who gave their blood for the Sikh community. He claimed his victory will have repercussions on Indian politics, and recalled how people had laughed at his failure to win elections over several years. He had also unsuccessfully contested the recent assembly polls. “I am grateful to our voters of Sangrur for having elected me as your representative in Parliament. I will work hard to ameliorate the sufferings of our farmers, farm labourers, traders and everyone in my constituency, he said. SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami congratulated Mann on his victory and expressed hope that he will raise Sikh issues in Parliament. Counting of votes began at 8 am on Sunday amid tight security arrangements. Sixteen candidates contested the June 23 bypoll. It witnessed a low turnout of 45.30 percent as against 72.44 per cent polling in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and 76.71 in 2014. There were 15.69 lakh eligible voters this time. Altogether, 7,10,919 votes were polled, including 2,471 cast for None of the Above (NOTA). According to the data available for eight of nine assembly segments of the Sangrur parliamentary seat, AAP candidate Gurmail Singh led in four -- including Dhuri currently represented by CM Bhagwant Mann. Singh, 38, is the party's Sangrur district in-charge while the Congress had placed its bets on former Dhuri MLA Goldy. The BJP candidate, former Barnala MLA Kewal Dhillon, had joined the party earlier this month. The SAD had nominated Kamaldeep Kaur, the sister of Balwant Singh Rajoana who was convicted for the murder of then Punjab chief minister Beant Singh. Simranjit Singh Mann's main poll plank was securing the release of Sikh prisoners lodged in various jails even after the expiry of their terms. Sangrur parliamentary constituency was considered a bastion of the AAP, which had won all nine assembly seats that fall under it in the 2022 state elections. Bhagwant Mann had won the Sangrur seat in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls after defeating SAD candidate Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa with a margin of 2.11 lakh votes. In 2019, he won there again by a margin of 1.10 lakh votes, defeating Congress candidate Kewal Dhillon.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Lok Sabha,Simranjit Mann,AAP,CM,Congress,Sangrur,Mann,Punjab,BJP,Parliament","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-26T15:54:05.104419+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"5l3ufoiXLKT9","slug":"english/simranjit-mann-khalistan-advocate-back-in-parliament-after-two-decades","title":"Simranjit Mann: Khalistan advocate back in Parliament after two decades","postType":1,"coverMedia":null,"coverCaption":null,"reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-26T14:15:06.414801+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656252905.517014, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Chandigarh, Jun 26 (PTI) Dubbed 'Budda Jarnail' by some of his critics, 77-year-old Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) president and former IPS officer Simranjit Singh Mann had recently insisted that he may have grown old but couldn't be written off just yet.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"His assertion proved prophetic on Sunday as he wrested the Sangrur Lok Sabha seat from the Aam Aadmi Party -- his first electoral victory in 23 years.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Mann defeated his nearest rival, AAP's Gurmail Singh, by a margin of 5,822 votes, dealing a big blow to the ruling party of Punjab which had registered a landslide win in the state polls three months ago and was hoping to retain the Sangrur Lok Sabha seat for the third time.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Incidentally, Mann's last election win in 1999 was also from the Sangrur Lok Sabha constituency.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Speaking to reporters in Sangrur after his win, the SAD (Amritsar) leader said, \\\"Many used to laugh, saying what will Simranjit Singh Mann do.

During the poll campaign, Mann’s main poll plank was securing the release of Sikh prisoners lodged in various prisons even after the expiry of their jail terms. AAP candidate Gurmail Singh, 38, is the party's Sangrur district in-charge while the Congress had placed its bets on former Dhuri MLA Goldy. The BJP fielded former Barnala MLA Kewal Dhillon who joined the party early this month. The SAD nominated Kamaldeep Kaur, the sister of Balwant Singh Rajoana who was convicted for the murder of then Punjab chief minister Beant Singh. Sangrur parliamentary constituency was considered a bastion of the AAP, which had won all nine assembly seats that fall under it in the 2022 state elections. Bhagwant Mann had won the Sangrur seat in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls after defeating SAD candidate Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa with a margin of 2.11 lakh votes. In 2019, he won there again by a margin of 1.10 lakh votes, defeating Congress candidate Kewal Dhillon.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Simranjit Mann,AAP,CM,Mann,Congress,Gurmail Singh,Lok Sabha,Sangrur,Punjab,Parliament","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-26T13:30:06.448210+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"iJ4yllJvcScA","slug":"english/june-25-1975-47-years-later-indian-democracys-darkest-hour-revisited","title":"June 25, 1975: 47 years later, Indian democracy’s darkest hour revisited","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_H7acRuRYK.jpg","coverCaption":"India, the world's largest democracy, had to go through a 21-months-long Emergency (Photo Credit: Unsplash/Representational)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-25T12:30:00.932126+00:00","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIndian President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed declared Emergency on June 25, 1975\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThe Emergency lasted 21 months\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIndia is on the verge of electing its 15th president\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1656159592048,\\\"strCount\\\":5606,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Twenty-fifth\\\\nof June is one of the most significant dates in the \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/topic/indian\\\\\\\"\u003eIndian\u003c/a\u003e political calendar.\\\\nFor it was on this day in 1975, the world’s largest democracy declared an\\\\nemergency that would raise questions on the feasibility of electoral democracy\\\\nin South Asia.

In the second decade of the 21st Century, India’s presidential nominees are an Adivasi woman and ex-governor – Droupadi Murmu – and a former civil servant and Union minister – Yashwant Sinha. ,Emergency raised several critical questions on the form and structure of Indian democracy.

He was chosen to be president by Indira Gandhi in 1974. His role in accepting Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s recommendation to declare Emergency has been one of the most contested questions in modern Indian history. ,Leading up to the Emergency ,On June 12, 1975, the Allahabad High Court convicted Indira Gandhi of electoral malpractice in the 1971 general elections.

It was a judgment of great courage.” ,The Emergency ,On the early hours of June 26, 1975, Indians heard their prime minister speaking on the All-India Radio. She said, “The President has proclaimed Emergency. There is nothing to panic about.” Twenty-eight year’s earlier, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, had in the dead of the night, proclaimed Indian democracy’s ‘tryst with destiny’ and announced India’s awakening to life and freedom. Just around three decades later, Nehru’s daughter Indira Gandhi had suspended all fundamental rights of citizens in the world’s largest democracy. The document proclaiming Emergency had been signed by President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed the previous night. As the day began, a power cut ensured no newspaper could be published for the next two days. Hundreds of political leaders, trade unionists and activists were arrested. ,Rationale for the Emergency,The Congress, Indira Gandhi’s party, claimed that the Emergency was proclaimed to control “internal disturbance”. Indira Gandhi said there were three reasons for the Emergency: first, the movement launched by Jayprakash Narayan threatened India’s national security, second, there was need for rapid economic development to help the underserved, third, she felt there were international powers looking to destabilise India. ,While the Allahabad High Court’s verdict surely had to play a role in the proclamation of the Emergency, the months preceding the proclamation had seen a massive rise in prices, tremendous food shortages and rising unemployment. ,The Navanirman Andolan had broken out in Gujarat, first led by students, and then supported by workers.

Indira Gandhi, one of the most popular leaders India had ever seen, was to see a humongous defeat in the 1977 elections. The Janata Party, a coalition of interests bent on defeating Indira Gandhi, came to power with 295 seats. ,President’s role ,Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed’s role in the proclamation of Emergency has often been criticised. While there are arguments that defend him owing to the limited powers an Indian president in the country’s parliamentary system, there are those who say Ahmed, India’s second Muslim president, could have taken a principled stand. ,On June 25, 2022, India stands at the brink of another presidential election, which the prime minister’s nominee is expected to win. While the new millennium has been a very different experience of India, the country of a billion people is once again steeped in unemployment and troubled by rising inflation.

India will continue to be a key partner in this endeavour, he added.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Sri Lanka,India,Indian,Sri Lanka's,Parliament,Ranil Wickremesinghe,Jun 24,Gopal Baglay,Keheliya Rambukwella,Nalin Fernando","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-24T10:45:04.271809+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"f27IGfIOxhWZ","slug":"english/german-lawmakers-vote-to-end-ban-on-advertising-abortions","title":"German lawmakers vote to end ban on 'advertising' abortions","postType":1,"coverMedia":"","coverCaption":"","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-24T09:36:08.125534+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1656063367.504022, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"BERLIN (AP) — German lawmakers voted Friday to end the country's ban on advertising abortions, which has in the past led to doctors being prosecuted for providing information about the procedure to potential patients.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Government parties and the Left party voted to lift the restriction, while the center-right Christian Democrats and the far-right Alternative for Germany voted against.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"Parliament also voted to annul the convictions of doctors since Oct. 3, 1990, when West Germany's abortion laws were applied to the whole country upon reunification.

With 131 MLAs, the NDA will get 17,161 votes from Madhya Pradesh, 16,464 votes of 112 MLAs from Gujarat and 15,982 votes of its 122 MLAs in Karnataka. The UPA, on the other hand, has a little over 1,50,000 votes of its MPs and will get around the same number of votes from its legislators in states. Opposition candidates in the past too have been getting a little more than three lakh votes in the previous elections for the highest post in the country. The value of the vote of a Member of Parliament has gone down to 700 from 708 in the presidential polls this time due to the absence of a legislative assembly in Jammu and Kashmir. The value of the vote of an MP in a presidential election is based on the number of elected members in legislative assemblies of states and union territories, including Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir. The election will be held on July 18 to elect incumbent Kovind's successor, the Election Commission announced on Thursday. The nominations can be filed till June 29 and the result of the election will be out on July 21. When elected, Murmu, a former governor of Jharkhand, will be the first president who was born post-independence. The candidature of the 64-year-old tribal leader from Odisha was announced by BJP chief J P Nadda on Tuesday night, hours after former Union minister Yashwant Sinha was declared the joint candidate by many opposition parties, including the Congress, the TMC and the NCP.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"NDA,Droupadi Murmu,BJP,Rajya Sabha,Parliament,Uttar,BJD,Odisha,Jharkhand,Lok Sabha","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-22T13:57:06.105957+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"tALatH3RFBbj","slug":"english/kuwaits-crown-prince-dissolves-parliament-calls-elections","title":"Kuwait's crown prince dissolves parliament, calls elections","postType":1,"coverMedia":"","coverCaption":"","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-06-22T13:24:11.434559+00:00","highlightSummary":null,"highlightSummaryFlag":0,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":null,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":0,"content":"{\"time\": 1655904250.697923, \"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Kuwait's crown prince on Wednesday dissolved Parliament and called for early elections, a move to ease government gridlock that has bred popular opposition and paralyzed the tiny country for months.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"In his televised national address, the 81-year-old Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmed Al Jaber said that while the ruling family respected Kuwait's constitution that grants the country's rowdy parliament more power than elsewhere in the autocratic region of Persian Gulf sheikhdoms, popular dissatisfaction over the deepening dysfunction compelled the emir to intervene.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"“Our goal with this constitutional solution is the firm and sincere desire for the people themselves to have the final say in the process of correcting the political course anew by choosing who represents the right choice,\\\" said Sheikh Meshal, who assumed most of the emir's responsibilities last year.\"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"A date for legislative elections was not immediately announced. \"}}, {\"type\": \"paragraph\", \"data\": {\"text\": \"The country's Cabinet resigned over two months ago over disputes with Parliament, resulting in a prolonged paralysis.

But we lost out on this opportunity. We are now seeing signs of a possible fall into the very bottom. However, we must come out of this situation. If not, we will be unable to seek solutions to any other issue in the country, he said.We are now facing a far more serious situation beyond the mere shortages of fuel, gas, electricity and food. Our economy has faced a complete collapse. That is the most serious issue before us today. These issues can only be resolved through the reviving of the Sri Lankan economy. In order to do this, we must first resolve the foreign reserves crisis faced by us, he said.For Sri Lanka, the Prime Minister said, the only safe option now is to hold discussions with the International Monetary Fund. “In fact, this is our only option. We must take this path. Our aim is to hold discussions with the IMF and arrive at an agreement to obtain an additional credit facility. The nearly-bankrupt country, with an acute foreign currency crisis that resulted in foreign debt default, had announced in April that it is suspending nearly USD 7 billion foreign debt repayment due for this year out of about USD 25 billion due through 2026. Sri Lanka's total foreign debt stands at USD 51 billion.The foreign currency crisis has crimped imports, creating severe shortages of food, fuel, electricity and other essentials like medicines, forcing people to stand in long lines to fulfill basic needs.The Indian credit lines since January this year have provided a lifeline to Sri Lanka amidst growing public dissent over the worsening economic conditions.But Wickremesinghe said India would not be able to keep Sri Lanka afloat for too long.We have taken loans amounting to USD 4 billion under the Indian credit line. We have requested more loan assistance from our Indian counterparts. But even India will not be able to continuously support us in this manner. Even their assistance has its limits. On the other hand, we too must have a plan to repay these loans. These are not charitable donations, he said.Wickremesinghe said that currently, the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation is USD 700 million in debt. “As a result, no country or organisation in the world is willing to provide fuel to us. They are even reluctant to provide fuel for cash,” he said.He informed lawmakers that USD 70 million from the World Bank and USD 20 million from Sri Lankan Government funds will be paid to import 100,000 MT of gas to solve the issue soon.He said that on Monday, an IMF team arrived in Sri Lanka and the talks with the group will continue for the next several days.We have concluded the initial discussions and we have exchanged ideas on various sectors such as public finance, finance, debt sustainability, stability of the banking sector and the social security network, he said.We intend to enter into an official level agreement with the IMF by the end of July, he said.He said representatives of the financial and legal advisory firms Lazard and Clifford Chance are now in Sri Lanka to assist in its debt restructuring efforts. The framework for debt repayment restructuring is being formulated, he said.He said that next Monday, a team of representatives from the US Department of the Treasury will also arrive in Sri Lanka.He said that Sri Lanka will organise a credit aid conference which will be led by main lending countries -- India, Japan and China.There have been some conflicts and disagreements between us in the recent past. We are working towards resolving these and fostering friendly relations once again. Each country has different processes for granting loans. Through the credit aid conference, we hope to arrive at a general consensus on the lending processes, he said.If we receive the IMF seal of approval, the world will once again trust us. It will help us to secure loan assistance as well as low-interest loans from other countries in the world, the Prime Minister said.The government is also holding discussions with the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, the United States, other friendly nations and heads of state to secure interim short-term loans till the country receives IMF support.We will be able to lay the foundation to ensure economic stability following the successful completion of these tasks. But this by no means will be the end. In fact, it will be the beginning of our journey. A new journey toward a stronger economy. We will then have to forge ahead with our plans to strengthen and create a new Sri Lankan economy, he said.Underling that the government is also working towards introducing political reforms, he called on the country's two main opposition parties to attend parliament immediately and support the passing of the 21st amendment to the Constitution and agree to establish the new parliamentary committee system.Lawmakers of the country's two main opposition parties are boycotting Parliament this week to protest against Wickremesinghe, who became prime minister just over a month ago and is also finance minister, for not having delivered on his pledges to turn the economy around.As I have mentioned before, the situation we face today is in no way normal. I have repeatedly stated that Sri Lanka has not faced a crisis of this magnitude in its recent past. Once we have established a firm economic foundation you can hand over power to any political party as per your wish at an election and elect 225 suitable representatives to Parliament, he said.He said currently, Sri Lanka is in need of USD 550 million to meet its monthly fuel needs. However, in the face of the economic crisis, we are experiencing difficulties in securing the necessary funds for this purpose. As a result of this, we will take steps to import the maximum fuel stocks possible based on our dollar income. Resolving the fuel shortages will take more time. Therefore I request you to economise when using fuel, he said.","portalUser":{"id":"rgkwRLMU8bE","name":"PTI","username":"presstrustofindia","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_WQDSboZhJ.jpg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"Sri Lanka's,Sri Lanka,Parliament,Wickremesinghe,Indian,India,the World Bank,Ranil Wickremesinghe,the International Monetary Fund,the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-22T12:06:04.513977+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"BiOZfia6FlY2","slug":"english/italys-5-stars-in-chaos-as-di-maio-splits-forms-new-group","title":"Italy's 5-Stars in chaos as Di Maio splits, forms new group","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Italy_Politics_00218_ZRTWCYWsw.jpg","coverCaption":"FILE - Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio delivers his speech during a ceremony to present the next Winter Olympics Milano Cortina 2026 to the Italian institutions at the Foreign Minister headquarters in Rome, Wednesday, June 8, 2022.
