STATEMENT BY MINISTER Re: Recent incidents of Attack on Members of Indian Diaspora in the United States. THE MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SHRIMATI SUSHMA SWARAJ): I rise to make a statement to brief this august House on the recent incidents of attack on Indian and members of Indian Diaspora in the United States. In last three weeks, three incidents of physical attack in the United States on Indian nationals and Persons of Indian Origin have come to the notice of the Government. On February 22, Srinivas Kuchibhotla, a 32 year old Indian engineer at GPS devise maker in Garmin was shot dead by a US national, Adam Purinton in a crowded bar in Kansas City Suburb of Olathe. Another Indian national, Alok Madasani, present on the spot was also injured in the shooting. Ian Grillot an American national, who tried to stop the shooting, was also shot and injured during the incident. Both the injured persons have received treatment and have since been discharged. The accused, Adam Pruinton, has been arrested by the police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has taken over the case and is investigating the same as a case of 'hate crime'. On March 2, Harnish Patel, a US national of Indian origin, was shot dead by unknown individuals in Lancaster, South Carolina. According to the Sheriff and the family, the incident was, in all likelihood, a case of robbery gone wrong. Investigations are underway to identify the culprits and to ascertain if this was a racially motivated crime. On March 4, Deep Rai, a US National of Indian Origin, was shot by an unknown person in Kent, near Seattle in Washington State, allegedly after being asked to leave the country. We understand that Mr. Rai is safe and out of danger. The culprit is yet to be arrested. The Kent Police Department is taking the lead in the investigation of the case, assisted by the FBI. The investigating agencies are yet to establish that it is a 'hate crime'. Shri Deep Rai has received treatment and has been discharged from the hospital. In all three cases, the Government, through its Embassy and Consulates, immediately reached out to the affected persons and their families for extending all possible help and support. I have personally spoken to the families of Srinivas Kuchibhotla and Deep Rai. The Government has taken up this issue with the US Government at very high-levels and conveyed our deep concerns. We have called for necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of Indian Diaspora and expeditious investigation into these incidents. Foreign Secretary discussed this matter in his meetings with Cabinet Ministers and senior functionaries of the US Administration as well as with the Congressional leadership during his recent visit to the US (February 28 - March 3, 2017). The US authorities have responded strongly and assured us that they are working with all concerned agencies to ensure speedy justice. There has been widespread condemnation of these incidents by the U.S. leadership, both in the Administration and the Congress: President Donald Trump referred to the Kansas shooting in his address to a joint session of Congress on February 28 and said that the US "stands united in condemning hate and evil in all its forms". After his meeting with Foreign Secretary, Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan issued a statement expressing the House's condolences on the killing of Srinivas Kuchibotla. The House also observed a moment of silence over the incident. Governor of Kansas Sam Brownback has offered his condolences and assured thorough investigation. In a letter to Prime Minister, Governor Brownback has praised the "ingenuity, hard work and determination" of the Indian Diaspora as well as their contributions to the state of Kansas. He has assured that Kansas will remain " a welcoming, hospitable place" for Indians. Several Senators and Congressmen have also expressed their condolences and regret over the tragic incidents. They have been deeply appreciative of the contribution and role of the Indian community in the U.S. Most recently, on March 9, US Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly issued a statement strongly condemning the incidents. In his statement, he said - "I strongly condemn any violent acts to perpetuate fear and intimidation not only against individuals, but entire communities. I pledge the full support of the Department of Homeland Security to assist local, state, and federal investigations into these incidents." Secretary Kelly further said - "the United States has a history of welcoming and accepting individuals regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or national origin." He committed that his Department will work closely with foreign governments whose nationals have been affected by these violent acts. People-to-people contacts are the foundation on which the India-U.S. strategic partnership has been built. The fact that broad sections of the American society have expressed their deep sorrow and regret over these incidents reassures us that despite these individual incidents, the American society values the people- to-people engagement between our two countries. In the discussion on March 9, Shri Bhartruhari Mahtab and Shri Mohammad Salim referred to a 'travel advisory' issued by the US Government which apparently advises the US nationals against travelling to India. I would like to inform the Hon'ble Members that there is no Travel Advisory in force for India at present. A reference to India has been included in their "Worldwide Caution" report which the US State Department releases every six months (in March and September every year). These are in the form of broad assessment of threat perceptions. Such references to India have been include in previous reports as well and do not reflect the change of Administration in the US. In fact, India-specific references were far more detailed in previous reports. Having said that, issuing travel advisories is a well-established global practice and Government of India has also issued travel advisories in the past for Indian citizens visiting the U.S. in specific situations. A related question was raised by the Hon'ble members whether the Government plans to issue an advisory for Indians travelling to or residing in the US. I would say that prompt and clear response of the U.S. political leadership and the law enforcement authorities to these incidents and the widespread messages of sympathy and support from all quarters in the U.S. give us confidence that these incidents are acts of individuals and do not represent the overwhelming sentiments of the American people towards India. This was demonstrated by the American national Ian Grillot who suffered serious injury while helping the two Indians. I have saluted his heroism and am sure the House joins me in wishing him speedy recovery. Finally I would like to reassure this House and the Members that safety and security of Indian Diaspora abroad remains a top priority for this Government. We are in a continuous dialogue with the US Government. Close contacts with the local Indian community groups are being maintained through our Embassy and Consulates to address any emergent issues. We will remain vigilant to developments impacting the lives of Indians abroad and do everything possible to safeguard their interests and welfare. I would also like to submit that the Government never remains silent when any Indian is in difficulty abroad. This is not our style of functioning. The whole House and the country at large have been witnessed the fear that if even one Indian faces crisis abroad, we make every effort to ease his tribulation. I would like to submit that at the time of this incident, despite our hon. Prime Minister being engaged in canvassing, he continued to take stock of the plan of action of the MEA in this regard. I personally talked to the father of Srinivas and his elder brother K.K. Shastri at Hyderabad on the day this incident happened. I also made a call to his wife Sunaina at Kansas. The wife of Srinivas has conveyed her thanks to the Counsel General through a letter for the assistance she received at the time of crisis. Similarly, the father of Deep Rai also thanked me. I would like to submit that it would be grossly incorrect to say that we did not raise this matter and we remained silent. Such an allegation has not been leveled even by those who themselves have faced such incidents. I would like to assure the House that the Government shall never remain silent on any such incident and would do more than what is expected from us.

THE MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS AND MINISTER OF OVERSEAS INDIAN AFFAIRS (SHRIMATI SUSHMA SWARAJ): On the issue which was raised yesterday in the House, I, with utmost responsibility and categorically and equivocally would like to inform this House that the Government of India has no connection to the visit by Shri Ved Prakash Vaidik to Pakistan or his meeting with Hafiz Saeed there. Neither before leaving for Pakistan nor at his arrival there, he informed the Government that he was to meet Hafiz Saeed there. This was his purely private visit and meeting. It has been alleged here that he was somebody‟s emissary, somebody‟s disciple or the Government of India had facilitated the meeting. This is totally untrue as well as unfortunate. I would like to reiterate that the Government of India has no relation to it whatsoever. *MATTERS UNDER RULE 377 (i) SHRI BHARAT SINGH laid a statement regarding need to start work on multipurpose project for development of various facilities in Ballia Parliamentary constituency, Uttar Pradesh.

  • Jharkhand Central Railway Limited: [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable) Assigned
    December 03, 2020 Jharkhand Central Railway Limited: [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable) assigned Summary of rating action Current Rated Amount Instrument* Rating Action (Rs. crore) Proposed Term Loans 1,259.75 [ICRA]BBB+ (Stable); Assigned Total 1,259.75 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The rating assignment factors in Jharkhand Central Railway Limited’s (JCRL’s) long-term concession agreement with the Ministry of Railways (MoR), which provides earnings visibility to its upcoming railway project, and the approval to charge an inflated mileage from users, which would make the project’s return indicators attractive. ICRA notes that Central Coalfields Limited (CCL, JCRL’s parent, owning 64%1 of the shareholding) plans to significantly ramp-up coal production in the North Karanpura coalfield over the medium term, which, along with shorter lead distances, faster rake turn-around times, and lower trip costs following the commissioning of JCRL’s railway line, partly mitigates the traffic fluctuation risk. Moreover, given the strategic importance of the rail corridor to CCL's expansion plans, the operational synergies between CCL and JCRL remains high, which supports JCRL’s business risk profile. In addition, JCRL’s credit profile benefits from the strong financial profile of its parent CCL, as well as IRCON International Limited (IRCON), which has a target shareholding of 26% in JCRL. JCRL’s rating also factors in the fixed revenue share clause with MoR for providing reserve services, which partly mitigates risks associated with inadequate increase in freight rates to cover for rising operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. The rating, however, is tempered by JCRL’s exposure to high project implementation risks, leading to risks of time and cost over-runs, and the company’s sizeable dependence on external borrowings, which is likely to lead to modest debt coverage metrics during the initial years post commissioning.
