India's criticism of Pakistan and China on terrorism: "No Rhetoric Can Cover Up..."

-

 Mr. Jaishankar remarked in his speech at the high-level UN General Assembly meeting that anyone who politicises the UNSC 1267 Sanctions regime does so at their own risk.

Message to China and Pakistan: In a strong statement on terrorism on Saturday, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar asserted that no rhetoric, no matter how pious, can ever cover-up blood stains. He also stated that countries who defend proclaimed terrorists in the UN do not advance their own interests or their reputation.

         Mr. Jaishankar warned individuals who politicise the UNSC 1267 Sanctions system, sometimes even to the point of backing outright terrorists, that they do so at their own risk in his address to the high-level UN General Assembly session.

               "India, which has seen decades of cross-border terrorism, vehemently supports a "zero-tolerance" stance. No act of terrorism, whatever of its purpose, is justified in our opinion. Additionally, no amount of language, no matter how pious, will ever hide bloodstains "said he.

           "As a response to terrorism, the UN penalises the culprits. It is dangerous for people to politicise the UNSC 1267 Sanctions regime, sometimes even to the point of supporting declared terrorists. Believe me, they don't improve their reputation or even their own interests "explained he.

              This was an aggressive, albeit covert, strike on Pakistan and its dependable partner China, which has repeatedly rebuffed India's and its allies' requests to identify terrorists operating out of Pakistan as targets of UN Security Council Resolution 1267 sanctions.

      China, an all-weather ally of Islamabad and a permanent member of the 15-nation Security Council with a veto power, has repeatedly blocked and postponed attempts by India, the US, and other western allies to blacklist terrorists operating out of Pakistan under the Security Council's sanctions regime.

              China has blocked the designation of Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Sajid Mir as a global terrorist, which was proposed at the United Nations this month. Mir is wanted for his alleged role in the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks.

 Posted on Knowledge24/7 | By Nitesh Srivastava In a major development shaking the tech industry, "Google is once again in the legal spotlight"—this time, for its "alleged monopoly over the digital advertising ecosystem". The Second Big Blow to Google   On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) launched a high-stakes "Antitrust Trial Against Googl", accusing the tech giant of using unfair and monopolistic tactics to dominate the online advertising market. This comes just months after a judge ruled in favor of the DoJ in a separate case, declaring that Google had "illegally monopolised online search". This latest trial poses a much larger threat—targeting the very core of Google’s AdTech business , which is responsible for over 75% of the company’s total revenue. What’s at Stake?   Google earned more than \$200 billion from online ads in the past year alone. Prosecutors argue that the company unfairly takes up to 36% of advertiser spending...

The swearing in of former Supreme CJI, Justice P.C. Ghose as the first Lokpal Chairman New Delhi : The swearing in of former Supreme Court judge, Justice P.C. Ghose as the first Lokpal Chairman on Saturday is the outcome of years of dogged litigation by NGO Common Cause, the apex court's own judgment in April 2017 and, finally, the contempt of court proceedings initiated against the government for its inability to implement the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act of 2013.                         The top court has consistently kept up the pressure on the government every step of the way. The past years have seen the government stall the appointment of the anti-corruption ombudsman for various reasons, chief among those was the absence of a Leader of Opposition (LoP) in 16th Lok Sabha. This loophole was overcome on April 24, 2017 when the Supreme Court declared that absence of a member of the high-level Lokpal selection committee c...
