China is seeking to deepen its relations with the island nation amid the growing dispute between India and the Maldives. China has now lectured India over the ongoing dispute with the Maldives and asked New Delhi to “be more open-minded” in an editorial that was published in the Global Times.

Chinese experts have claimed that India’s attitude of being the “regional boss has caused a strain in its relations with regional countries in South Asia” in an editorial published in the state-backed Global Times.

Chinese analysts and experts went on to say that India should not “shift the blame on China” and should instead take a more “open-minded approach” because it seems as though its politicians “lack confidence.”

India’s belief that it is the leader of the region is the cause of its tense relations with some South Asian nations. India ought to pause, consider its policies toward its neighbors, and give up the zero-sum mindset before assigning blame to China, according to analysts cited in the Global Times.

China has also supported the Maldives and Muizzu in the editorial. China has always respected the Maldives’ sovereignty and treated it as an equal partner, according to the report, which also stated that China “never asked Male to reject New Delhi because of the conflicts between China and India, nor does it.

Moreover, it attempted to defend Muizzu’s trip to China by stating that he is not inherently “pro-China and anti-India” due to his choice to travel to China before India. It simply indicates that Muizzu is approaching India with a typical mindset and guiding the Maldives-Indian relationship toward a typical state-state dynamic.

Additionally, it stated, “China has consistently respected the sovereignty of the Maldives and treated it as an equal partner.” It also acknowledges the cordial and cooperative ties that exist between the Maldives and India, emphasizing how crucial it is for Malé to keep positive ties with New Delhi,” the statement continued.

“Beijing does not see cooperation between the Maldives and India as hostile or dangerous, and it has never asked Malé to reject New Delhi due to the disputes between China and India. Additionally, it is open to implementing trilateral cooperation between the Maldives, China, and India. It concluded that New Delhi ought to maintain greater receptivity, given that China’s collaboration with South Asian nations is not a zero-sum endeavor.

Maldives-India Conflict During Muizzu’s Visit to China

Additionally, President Mohamed Muizzu’s visit to China coincides with the dispute with India. President Sajidha Mohamed and the First Lady will stay in China until January 12, 2024, at Xi Jinping’s invitation.

Malsha Shareef, Mariyam Shiuna, and Abdulla Mahzoom Majid, the three ministers, were suspended by Muizzu for making fun of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Lakshwadeep. The Maldivian government also announced that it would be “distancing” itself from their comments. The conflict between India and the Maldives, however, also draws attention to an issue that has long existed between the two countries: Indian military presence.

Muizzu took an “India-Out” stance during his campaign and pledged to force India to remove its troops if elected. Following his election victory in September 2023, the president of the Maldives started the process of removing the 77 Indian troops stationed there as a result of several agreements the island nation had signed.

After the disparaging comments made about Prime Minister Modi, the India-Maldives spat reached unprecedented heights, despite the tensions brought on by the troop deployment. Additionally, both nations have called in their envoys, indicating a further intensification. Male and Beijing are anticipated to sign many trade, infrastructure, and tourism-related agreements during Muizzu’s visit to China.

Bilkis Bano Case: Rahul Gandhi welcomed the Apex court verdict on the Bilkis Bano case that quashes the Government of Gujarat’s order to allow the early release of 11 convicts in the case. The opposition said it was a victory of justice and accused the BJP of being anti-women and “patronising criminals”.

SUPREME COURT RULING:

In a recent move, the Supreme Court of India on Monday blew at the Gujarat government by cancelling the previous order by the state which released the 11 convicts of raping Bilkis Bano and killing seven of her family members during the 2002 post-Godhra riots in Gujarat. The court ruled that the Gujarat government was “not competent enough” to pass such an order.

The Supreme Court also added that the documents shown to them by the convicts to obtain its 2022 order, which allowed the 11 men to approach the Gujarat government for their premature release were “fraud” and sought through “misleading facts”.

All the convicts were asked to surrender before jail authorities within two weeks were released by the government of Gujarat. As per media reports, the victim, Bilkis Bano, was 21 years old and five months pregnant when she was gang-raped while fleeing the riots that broke out after the Godhra train burning incident in Gujarat on March 3, 2002. Her three-year-old daughter was among the seven family members killed.

Along with Rahul his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra too reacted to the verdict and said justice had ultimately prevailed.

“With this order, the veil over the anti-women policies of the Bharatiya Janata Party has been removed. After this, public confidence in the justice system will be further strengthened. Congratulations to Bilkis Bano for continuing her fight bravely,” she said in a post on ‘X’ previously twitter.

Congress’ spokesperson Pawan Khera also jumped in the case and tweeted on X, (twitter). He said, “It is a slap on the face of those who facilitated the illegal release of these criminals and also those who garlanded the convicts and fed sweets to them, by bulldozing justice.”

On Sunday, the Ministry of Finance said that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) authorities had found 4,153 false companies suspected of evading input tax credit (ITC) worth approximately Rs 12,036 crore between October and December 2023. Of the 36 states and union territories (UT), Maharashtra ranks first with the greatest number of 926 bogus firms that have engaged in suspected tax evasion totaling Rs 2,201 crore. However, Delhi has demonstrated a higher incidence of tax evasion, with 483 bogus firms suspected of evading taxes totaling Rs 3,028 crore.

Haryana leads all states/union territories in the number of fake firms per lakh registered firms, with 81 of them. Delhi comes in second with 61 fake firms per lakh registered firms, Rajasthan with 59 fake firms per lakh registered firms, and Maharashtra with 54 fake firms per lakh registered firms.

Central GST officials found 2,358 of the 4,153 fraudulent companies that were discovered during the October–December quarter. “A total of 41 people have been arrested in these cases, 31 of whom were by Central GST Authorities,” the Ministry statement stated. “This has helped protect the revenue of Rs 1,317 crore, out of which Rs 319 crore has been realized and Rs 997 crore has been protected by blocking input tax credit.”

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) and state/UT governments, in conjunction with the GST authorities, have been taking action against fraudulent firms to reduce fraud and boost compliance. Tax authorities have launched targeted campaigns against the issuance of false invoices without any supporting supply of goods and services and non-existent/bogus registrations.

In mid-May of last year, a special campaign was launched under GST to combat fraudulent registrations. In April of last year, The Indian Express published a report detailing multiple cases of fraudulent companies avoiding taxes by supplying manpower for services instead of goods from Gujarat to Bihar. These companies did this to avoid creating e-way bills, which are required for the interstate transportation of goods valued at more than Rs 50,000.

Additionally, there have been cases where Aadhaar has connected companies to random people’s mobile numbers. These people then began receiving OTPs and multiple GST registrations from the same address. In many of these cases, fictitious documents were produced. After discussions at the highest levels of government, tax authorities discovered these fraud cases under the GST regime, which led them to launch a special campaign against frauds linked to registration in 2023–2024.

According to the Ministry, since then, 29,273 false companies implicated in alleged ITC (Input Tax Credit) evasion of Rs 44,015 crore have been found. “This has prevented ITC from taking $3,802 crore, saving Rs 4,646 crore; the remaining Rs 844 crore are from recovery. It said that 121 arrests have been made thus far in the cases.

To increase revenue collections, tax authorities have identified registration-linked frauds as one of the main focus areas for tighter scrutiny in the financial year 2023–2024. No significant changes to the GST rate are anticipated before the general elections, which are anticipated to take place in the coming months. The GST registration procedure has prompted the government to take several actions. Three additional states have started pilot programs involving biometric-based Aadhaar authentication during registration: Gujarat, Puducherry, and Andhra Pradesh.

The government has also implemented steps to reduce tax evasion, including the filing of GST returns in a sequential manner, the use of data analytics and risk parameters to identify fake ITC, and the generation of system-generated notifications for reconciling the discrepancies in tax liability between GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B returns and the ITC available under GSTR-2B and the ITC availed in GSTR-3B returns.

The world’s most popular leader and Indian Prime Minister recently visited Lakshadweep, bringing controversy over social media. Days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Lakshadweep, Maldivian deputy minister of youth empowerment Mariyam Shiuna posted a tweet that sparked a massive social media outrage. Many Indian celebrities, including actor Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, and former cricketer Aakash Chopra, joined the calls to boycott the island nation. Zahid Rameez, a senator for the Progressive Party of the Maldives, also made a controversial statement regarding the following. He questioned whether India could provide better services than the Maldives in a social media post.

In response to a video promoting tourism in Lakshadweep, an Indian Union territory in the Arabian Sea, the ministers had disparaged Modi on social media platform X, calling him a “clown,” “terrorist,” and “puppet of Israel”.

After the derogatory remarks, former Maldivian president Mohamed Nasheed urged President Mohamed Muizzu to distance the government from Shiuna’s disparaging remarks about Modi, the Maldives government later on Sunday distanced itself from them. He said, India is “instrumental” to the security and prosperity of the Maldives, and he asked Muizzu to assure New Delhi that the remarks don’t represent official policy.

After taking office in November of last year, Muizzu announced during the election that he would change the Maldives’ “India-first” policy and expunge the small number of about 75 Indian military personnel stationed in the nation of over a hundred islands. Even in his election campaign he supported the ‘India Out’ movement and supported the Chinese motive. 

Maldives India Out plan: Disagreement on the Hydrography Pact

There has been some debate in the Indian media regarding the Maldives’ recent decision to end a cooperative hydrographic survey agreement with India. Signed amid the 2019 Maldives visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the agreement was regarded as a representation of India-Maldives defense relations. A few weeks after the island nation formally requested that New Delhi remove its Indian military forces from its territory, Malé made its move. Malé also chose not to attend the most recent Colombo Security Conclave meeting in December 2023, perhaps further highlighting its misgivings regarding defense engagement with India.

On Thursday, the Delhi High Court set deadlines for the authorization committee to interview potential donors and make decisions regarding organ transplant cases following the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Rules, 2014.

“An organized and timely transplantation decision-making process” as envisaged by the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act and the 2014 Rules would be “nullified if timelines are not prescribed for various steps,” a single-judge bench of Justice Prathiba Singh declared.

Judge Singh concluded that, in light of the crucial significance of pre-transplantation interviews, deadlines under the 2014 Rules needed to be established. By notification, the state government or Union Territories shall establish one or more authorization committees under the Act. These committees shall be composed of members who may be nominated by the state government or Union Territories under the terms and conditions outlined in the notification.

“Such a time-bound strategy is essential to preserving the efficacy and integrity of organ transplantation protocols. Additionally, this would support Article 21 of the Constitution’s Right to Health. The high court emphasized that internal timelines must still be adjusted to guarantee the authorization committee’s systematic operation, even though the committee’s satisfaction is vitally important to this process.

It further stated that the application for living donor transplantation must be processed within a maximum of 10 days of the date of the application. Within a maximum of 14 days, the documents about the recipient’s and donor’s domicile status must be verified. The court further stated that any chance provided to the donor or recipient to finish the necessary paperwork must be informed to them within the time frame specified by the Rules.

Justice Singh added that the interview ought to be set up in two weeks following the receipt of the application, which should take four to six weeks. It further stated that the committee was to interview the donor and recipient one or two times during these two weeks, arrange for a meeting of the donor and recipient’s families, and communicate the decision.

The court stated, “Ideally, the entire process—from submission to decision—ought not to exceed six to eight weeks.”

The intent, as well as the letter and spirit of the 1994 Act and the 2014 Rules, are all at odds with the prolonged waiting periods of two to three years that have been experienced in certain cases due to non-compliance with timelines. Such protracted wait times can result in severe psychological and physical distress for the recipient and donor, as well as their families. Consequently, the court stated that for the donor/recipient and their respective families to continue with the decision-making process, there must be clear and timely communication regarding the application, whether it be oral or written.

The high court noted in its 42-page ruling that pre-transplant interviews are essential because the authorization committee needs to make sure the donor is not doing this organ donation for financial gain. The court did state that the interview and documentation process must be completed in a “time-bound manner,” failing which the process’s intended outcome may be compromised.

Making decisions quickly is important for both the donor and the recipient, as well as for their families. In actuality, the procedure’s complexity tends to discourage organ donation, which would also be counterproductive to the Act’s intended goal of promoting societal harmony. The high court emphasized that the Act and Rules are meant to regulate organ donation rather than to discourage it.

To guarantee that deadlines under the 1994 Act and 2014 Rules are prescribed for all the steps in the process of considering applications for organ donation, the court called for the judgment to be placed before the Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, following consultation with the pertinent stakeholders.

In 2020, a kidney patient filed a plea with the high court, requesting that Sir Ganga Ram Hospital perform a kidney transplant and that the authorization committee provide the required approval. In 2021, the patient had passed away.

Thursday, 4 January, is recorded as a historical day in the saga of test cricket. The second test match of the Gandhi-Mandela series was played between India and South Africa was lasted only for 107 overs. Usually, a test match lasts only for 5 days, but this test match survives only for 5 sessions i.e. less than 2 days. India beat South Africa by 7 wickets and became the first Indian side to win a test match at Newlands, Capetown.

South Africa captain Dean Elgar won the toss and decided to bat first but, the Indian pace battery proved the decision of Elgar wrong. Mo. Siraj bags a six-for in the first inning which restricted the proteas to only 55 runs. In reply, India scored 153 and took a feasible lead of 98 runs. On day one a record of 23 wickets were taken by the bowler.

In the first session of the series decider at Newlands, South Africa’s Aiden Markram hit a brilliant century for the Proteas in the second inning. while premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah claimed a match-changing six-wicket haul for India. Rohit Sharma and company defeated the Proteas by 7 wickets at Newlands after they chased down the 79-run target with the loss of only 3 wickets. In the final Test of Dean Elgar’s career, India achieved its first-ever victory in Cape Town. India leveled the series 1-1 on Thursday by winning the shortest-ever Test match.

Mo. Siraj was awarded the Man of the Match and the farewell boy Dean Elgar along with Jasprit Bumrah was awarded Player of the Series.

In the press conference, India captain Rohit Sharma said, “We don’t mind playing on surfaces similar to the one in Cape Town, where the fastest-ever test result was attained. In light of the events at Newlands, he wishes for the people who criticize Indian pitches to simply shut up.”

“Everyone witnessed the events of this Test match as well as the pitch’s behavior. As long as people in India keep their mouths shut and don’t discuss Indian pitches, I don’t mind playing on pitches like these,” Rohit remarked following India’s seven-wicket victory at Newlands, where the visitors needed just 107 overs and slightly more than four sessions to tie the series.

Bridal lehenga, dazzling with sequins and elegance, it’s the stuff of Bollywood dreams and will elevate you to ultimate queen status for your special day. But these designer fantasies are often very expensive. What can a bride do on a tight budget? Fashionistas, fear not! You don’t have to spend your entire wedding budget to achieve a Bollywood-worthy lehenga – all it takes is a little imagination and ingenuity.

Here is how to get Your Dream Bollywood Wedding Lehenga

1. Be a Savvy Shopper:

• Embrace the Off-Season: Put an end to the craziest wedding season! Shop between April and May and September and October, when stores have bridal clearance sales with steep discounts. A gorgeous lehenga may even be yours for a little portion of its original cost.
• Befriend the Second-Hand Market: Pre-owned lehengas are a veritable gold mine just waiting to be uncovered. Look into websites such as Carousell and WeddingSutra, or even stop by your neighborhood consignment shops. The secret treasures you may discover—many of which are in perfect condition—will surprise you!
• Channel Your Inner Designer: Go beyond store-bought clothing. Investigate regional fabric marketplaces such as Mumbai’s Bandra Road and Delhi’s Chandni Chowk. Stunning textiles can be purchased by the meter and then expertly tailored to your specifications by a local tailor. In this manner, you obtain a one-of-a-kind item that exactly suits your budget and expresses your distinctive style.

2. Prioritise and Play with Proportions:

• Less is More: Ditch the full-body embroidery! Focus on one piece of the lehenga like a heavily beaded blouse or dupatta and keep the rest simple. This way you can avoid spending money on expensive embroidery work while creating a dramatic visual contrast.
• Fabric Magic: Choose luxurious textiles like velvet, silk, or handwoven fabrics like Bandhej or Banarasi. Heavy embellishments are not necessary to accentuate the natural elegance of these fabrics. They also overlap beautifully, giving you the bridal flow you want.
• Mix and Match: It can be mixed and matched! Wear a statement dupatta or a modern blouse with a classic lehenga skirt. You can even add antiques like grandma’s dupatta or a beloved necklace for a personal touch and family history.

3. Accessorise with Style:

• Jewellery Junction: An outfit with jewelry can work wonders for a lehenga. Instead of bulky bridal sets, go for bold earrings, a little maang tikka, or a stack of vibrant bangles. To put together a distinctive and reasonably priced ensemble, you can even borrow items from friends and family.
• Footwear Fantasy: Give up your stilettos! Choose cozy juttis or mojaris that go well with your lehenga. They’ll have you dancing all night long and give your appearance a hint of Indian style.
• Floral Flourish: A lovely and affordable option to accessorise your lehenga is with fresh flowers. Create a gorgeous floral haath phool, tuck a few jasmine strands into your braid, or weave roses into your dupatta. They not only smell amazing, but they also give your bridal look a hint of the charm of nature.
