  • OM/RG/6.00/4B SHRI A.K. ANTONY (Contd.): This Is the Report of The
    -OM/RG/6.00/4B SHRI A.K. ANTONY (contd.): This is the Report of the Press Information Bureau, Government of India, dated 11 th March, 2013. It says, "The Government has blacklisted following six firms for a period of ten years by the Ministry of Defence I.D. No.310, April, 2012: Singapore Technologies, Israeli Military Industries Limited, Rheinmetall Air Defence (RAD), Zurich, M/s Corporation Defence, Russia, etc." These are all powerful multinational companies, and these include two Indian companies as well. We didn't show mercy. When corruption was proved and the CBI recommended that we should take action and blacklist them, we blacklisted six companies. This happened for the first time that six companies, at a stretch, were blacklisted. Otherwise, some years back, one company was blacklisted. So, not sitting on procedures, we also took action and sent a message to the world, sent a message to the arms dealers, that India would not tolerate corruption. We proved that merciless strong action would be taken. That was our message at that time. Sir, this is as far as the background is concerned. Coming to this particular thing, so many friends quoted so many things including CAG Reports and newspaper reports. In the last few weeks, many people were trying to make clouds. I would like to present a few facts after which I will also table them in the House. This is also the official release of the Press Information Bureau relating to the Ministry of Defence, titled, 'Acquisition of AW-101 Choppers for IAF: The Facts'.

  • Speech of Dr. Manmohan Singh, Former Prime Minister at the Sansmaran Sabha to Pay Tribute to Shri Jaipal Reddy at the Dr
    Speech of Dr. Manmohan Singh, Former Prime Minister at the Sansmaran Sabha to pay tribute to Shri Jaipal Reddy at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre New Delhi on 3rd September, 2019 We gather here today to pay tribute to my dear friend, colleague and great leader Shri Jaipal Reddy ji. He was a treasure house of wisdom and knowledge. For ten years he was my colleague in UPA Cabinet and a law-maker for forty five years. It is no exaggeration to say that in his death, Indian politics has lost an excellent orator, a very good administrator, an outstanding Parliamentarian and a great leader. He had an excellent leadership quality. His leadership quality was a mix of a lot of things, the first and foremost was about having faith in his beliefs. He had solid faith in his ideas. As in the case of a true leader he was a very good communicator, listening to others and setting examples for others to follow. A politician with a difference he was an eloquent orator, a writer, a scholar and a witty speaker. His speeches were packed with wit, criticism and in-depth information. Jaipal ji started as a student activist, rose to become president of the Indian Youth Congress from Andhra Pradesh, and then plunged into national politics braving polio among a host of other challenges. He went on to play an active role in national affairs for over four decades. His popularity and followings grew tremendously in Andra Pradesh which made him victorious four times to the Andhra Assembly polls and five times in Lok Sabha elections.

Introduction The most significant part of Indian Foreign Policy in the pre independence period was the Congress Resolution adopted in the Haripura Session in 1938 which asserted the Indian people's desire to live in peace and friendship with neighbours and in 1946 Pt. Nehru said that we hope to develop close and direct contacts with other nations and to cooperate with them. It may be noted that Indian foreign policy has not been static and has undergone changes according to time and requirements in National and International Scenario.

Imports of hot rolled coil (HRC), a benchmark product, from Korea surged 125 per cent and from Japan, 72 per cent, in 2011-12 over the previous year. While the flood is likely to continue further, experts say this is not just hurting the domestic steel industry in a weak market, but, in the short term, could be a disincentive for foreign direct investment (FDI). A slew of Japanese companies — Kobe, JFE, Sumitomo and Nippon — are either a part of the India story, in some way or other, or are actively looking at it, while South Korea's Posco is still waiting in the wings. All these companies are in a way incentivised to sell the steel produce in their country and flood the Indian market. It will act as disincentive for these global steel majors to invest in producing steel in India.

  • India-Iraq Relations India and Iraq Have Throughout Enjoyed Enduring
    India-Iraq Relations India and Iraq have throughout enjoyed enduring political, economic and cultural ties. Basra was for the Arab world not only the market par excellence of the Indian merchandise including textiles, spices, foodgrains and other commodities but also of the famous pearl trade that flourished mainly through the Indian traders and jewelers. The Indian soldiers and railway workers through whom the British colonial power controlled and kept its dominion connected with the Arab world, particularly Iraq, have left an imprint in the region that many Iraqis still proudly claim their Indian ethnic descent. India and Iraq have even shared agricultural practices. The breed of the southern Iraqi jamus or the water buffalo had been brought by Harun Al-Rashid from India. The Iraqi philosophers and sufi saints like Hasan al Basri, Junaid Al Baghdadi and Sheikh Behlul had such an impact on the spiritual movements in India that Guru Dev Nanak Saheb came personally to Baghdad to deliberate on the ontological and the epistemological questions with Sheikh Behlul who hosted him for nearly three months. Who does not know the enormous following Sheikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jeelani has in India where he is referred to either as Dastagir Saheb or Ghous-al-Azam. On the other hand, Indians were among the foremost to patronize the shrines and sarai khanas of the heritage of Islam’s primeval martyrdom at Karbala. Thousands of Indians visit the shrines of Imam Hussein and Imam Abbas in Karbala every year and also the shrine of Abdul Qadir Jeelani. The respect for each other’s strength has been mutual between India and Iraq.

  • 7Th Asia Gas Partnership Summit 23Rd March, 2012, New Delhi
    7th Asia Gas Partnership Summit 23rd March, 2012, New Delhi Welcome Address by Shri R P N Singh, Hon'ble Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh ji , My senior colleague and Union Cabinet Minister, Shri S. Jaipal Reddy ji, Shri G.C. Chaturvedi, Secretary in the Ministry, Shri B C Tripathi, CMD, GAIL (India) Limited, Shri R. V Kanoria, President, FICCI, Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates Friends from media, Ladies and Gentlemen. A Very Good Morning and a warm welcome to you all. It is indeed my privilege to welcome this distinguished audience to this prestigious conference, being held exclusively for natural gas in Asia. I am happy to note that the conference has now entered into its 7th edition, and congratulate the organizers for making it a continued success. The growth of the gas sector in Asia, particularly in the emerging markets like China and India, would be broadly dependent upon three key factors. First, our ability to secure adequate, reliable and reasonably priced gas supplies to keep pace with the ever-growing demand. Second, our capacity to integrate the Asian gas market, so as to move towards an Asian gas marker price, which would be more relevant to this region. And third, our resolve to promote gas for addressing climate change and sustainability concerns. It is how and how quickly we address these three challenges that will determine the future growth of natural gas in these emerging markets. In this context, the theme of this summit – ‘Evolving Dynamics of the Asian Gas Market: Challenges of Sourcing, Integration and Sustainability', is very timely and relevant.
