Moni Sharma

Bali: The annual G20 Summit opened in Bali on Tuesday with world leaders set to discuss over the next two days challenges triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic and more recently topped by Russia’s war in Ukraine. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed at the summit venue by Indonesian President Joko Widodo, ahead of the formal opening of the summit.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo told G20 members they must avoid another world war as he opened a leaders’ summit dominated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in Bali on Tuesday.”We should not divide the world into parts. We must not allow the world to fall into another world war,” he said as he opens a leaders’ summit dominated

by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in Bali.

During the day, PM Modi, along with other world leaders, participates in G20 summit’s second working session on the theme of ‘Health’, at Apurva Kempisnky hotel in Bali. PM Modi greeted the gathering at the Indian community event in Bali, as people chanted “Modi, Modi”. Addressing the Indian diaspora Modi said

UNITED WE STAND!

I have repeatedly said that we have to find a way to return to the path of ceasefire and diplomacy in Ukraine. Over the past century, WWII wreaked havoc in the world. After that leaders of that time made a serious effort to take the path of peace. Now it’s our turn.

—Narendra Modi, Prime Minister

We also witnessed the world order & int’l law being tested. Today, eyes of the world are focussed on our meeting - will we be able to succeed or will we add another item to number of failures? In my view, G20 must succeed & must not fail and we must end the war.

—Joko Widodo, Indonesian President

The war should be ended “justly and on the basis of the UN Charter and international law”. I urge world leaders to back a plan to end the war in his country, saying now was the time to push for peace after Russia’s defeat in the southern city of Kherson. Ukraine would not allow Russian forces to regroup after their withdrawal from Kherson.

—Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President

The Trinamool government is in a spot once again thanks to West Bengal min ister Akhil Giri who has come under severe criti cism over his controversial remarks on President Droupadi Murmu recently.

KEEPING DISTANCE

After a video of his com ments went viral, the Tri namool Congress (TMC) minister apologised on Friday and Sunday and on Monday, the party supre mo and West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Baner jee, had said the party con demned and apologised for her minister’s comments on President Droupadi Murmu. Saying it is not in her party’s culture to make personal comments, she added the MLA has been cautioned over his comments and her party has also apologised.

“We respect the Presi dent a lot. She is a very sweet lady, I apologise for the comments,” Ms Baner jee said, adding that “Akhil (Giri) has done something wrong; I condemn the com ments and I apologise.

“Beauty is not about how you look, it is about how you are from the inside,” she added. Earlier, while the BJP demanded his ar rest and removal from his post besides a public apol ogy from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, the TMC distanced itself from his comments. The TMC is having a tough time as the party, in order to steer clear of controversy, has had to distance itself from a lot of its stalwarts.

Calling the comments “irresponsible”, the party had distanced itself from Giri’s remarks. “This is an irresponsible comment & does NOT represent the views of @AITCofficial. We are extremely proud of the President of India &

hold her & her office in the highest regard,” read the tweet by TMC spokesper son Saket Gokhale.

The BJP claimed when he made those comments, the women welfare depart ment minister of Mamata Banerjee’s cabinet Shashi Panka was also there.

While sharing the video on social media, the state BJP accused Mamata Ba nerjee and the Trinamool of being anti-tribal.

Such a remark by one of its ministers regarding President Droupadi Mur mu threatens to derail the TMC’s ambitious plans to keep the substantial tribal population in West Bengal from drifting away to wards the Saffron might.

BJP, meanwhile, is do ing everything to keep the heat on TMC and have also

demanded his resignation.

THE TRIBAL CARD

Tribals account for about 7 to 8% of Bengal’s popula tion. In four parliamenta ry constituencies in Jun glemahal region, compris ing Jhargram, Bankura, Purulia and West Mid napore districts, and eight constituencies spread across North Bengal dis tricts, such as Cooch Be har, Darjeeling, Alipurdu ar, Kalimpong, Jalpaiguri, North and South Dinajpur and Malda, the tribal pop ulation count may go up to almost 25%.

It may be recalled that in the 2019 Lok Sabha elec tions, the BJP had sur prised the TMC by win ning 18 seats… while the TMC registered wins in 22 seats. What is important is that the BJP had picked up considerably in the tribal-

dominated areas and the party had bagged all the seats in Junglemahal and six constituencies in North Bengal.

SEESAW BATTLE

As they say, nothing and no one are permanent en emies. The TMC had fought and won a huge number in the 2021 Assem bly elections, especially in the Junglemahal districts, which led to the TMC’s massive mandate. Modi government’s ace decision while nominating Murmu as the President had made the TMC chief wary of the binary of regional politics.

After the former Jharkhand Governor’s name was announced, Mamata had created a flut ter by saying that if the BJP had consulted the Op position parties, Murmu could have been a “consen

sus candidate” for the country’s top post.

WHAT DIDI HAD SAID

“Had we known that they (the NDA) were planning to field a tribal woman or a member of a minority community, we could have thought about it (consen sus). We have great respect for people from tribal com munities and for women,” Mamata said, adding that now that (Yashwant) Sin ha had already filed his nomination papers….

Not only stopping at that, the astute politician that Prime Minister is, apart from nominating Murmu as the President, the PM through his Mann Ki Baat reached out to the Santhal tribe by lauding the efforts of Prof Sripati Tudu from none other than West Bengal, who had translated the Consti

What is the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia?

The latest G20 Summit is be ing held in Bali, Indonesia, on November 15 and 16. It is the culmina tion of a series of G20 events that have been go ing on for the past year. But what are these G20 meetings really about? What are the goals and benefits for member states, countries around the world, and for host nation Indonesia in particular?

Reports and statements conveyed by state officials that have attempted to ex plain this often use com plex and sometimes diplo matic language, making it difficult for the public to understand. This is unfor tunate as this year’s G20 meetings have attracted more international atten tion than previous years.

The results of this summit

will undoubtedly deter mine the cohesiveness, solidarity, and effective ness of the G20 forum and its member countries.

WHAT IS THE G20?

The G20 is a multilateral forum representing the world’s largest economies, involving 19 countries – Ar gentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Sau di Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the UK, and the US – plus the European Union.

GLOBAL HEALTH

The main agenda for the health sector is strength ening “global health archi tecture”. The G20 member countries, usually repre sented by their respective ministers, hold a series of meetings to discuss how to

build a resilient global health system, align global health protocols, and es tablish centres for the manufacture and research of genomes and vaccines.

DIGITAL CHANGE

The next primary agenda item in G20 discussions is on digital transformation.

The topic is being discussed by countries and stakehold ers through the G20 Digital Working Group, which has carried out a series of ac tivities and meetings since March 2022.

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

The third agenda item at this year’s G20 meetings is

on achieving a sustainable energy transition. This re fers to efforts to encourage global transition from nonrenewable energy use, such as petroleum and coal, to renewable energy, including solar, wind, and hydro.

Human activities, how ever, have disrupted this natural balance. These in clude the combustion of fossil fuels, pollution that destroys marine life, and forest encroachment. Ulti mately, these activities will continue to increase the Earth’s temperature, which has increased by 1.2°C since the pre-industrial era.

For this reason, coun tries worldwide – includ ing the G20 – are presently taking various measures to restore this balance. Ac cording to the Paris Agree ment, the deadline is 2050.

SOURCE: THE CONVERSATION

For TMC, matters could not be worse as the party’s supremo was set to visit Jhargram to celebrate tribal legendary figure Birsa Munda’s birth anni versary on Tuesday in a bid to reach out to the trib als and Giri’s gaffe has dampened this initiative. TMC had also declared the day as a general holiday.

BJP’s West Bengal state president, Sukanta Ma jumder, used the opportu nity to target the TMC and he also accused the party (TMC) of being “anti-trib al”. Amit Malviya, incharge of the BJP’s Na tional Information & Tech nology Dept, and co-incharge of West Bengal, tweeted: “Mamata Baner jee has always been antiTribals, didn’t support President Murmu for of fice, and now this. Shame ful level of discourse.”

The TMC had distanced itself from Giri’s remarks soon after the row broke out on Friday. Party said that what Giri said was “irre sponsible”, and did not rep resent party’s views. “We are extremely proud of the President & hold her & her office in the highest re gard,” tweeted TMC spokes person Saket Gokhale.

On Sunday, TMC Adi vasi leader and minister Jyotsna Mandi said: “I cannot support what Giri said regarding a woman President.” TMC leader Kunal Ghosh, who also condemned Giri’s re marks, added, “Where is the condemnation from BJP leaders when (LoP) Suvendu Adhikari keeps referring to the honorable CM as ‘Begum’? Where is the BJP’s ‘Nari Samman’ plank when its leaders use reprehensible remarks against women leaders?”

Already on the backfoot with job scam and with party stalwarts like Mon dol and Partha in custody and with panchayat elec tions in a few months’ time, now Giri’s words has put TMC in deep trouble.

Gehlot said that there is severe water problem in the eastern part of the region. “Here ERCP is very important for pro viding 55 litres of drink ing water per person per day as per Jal Jee van Mission parame ters,” Gehlot said and urged the Centre to de clare ERCP as a project of national importance soon to provide tap con nections in 13 districts, so as to ensure continu ous supply of water.

The CM said “Being a

dry and desert area, it is also less in surface and ground water. Due to long distances between villages and different geographical condi tions, the cost of provid ing drinking water from house to house is many times more than other states. In some circumstances it costs more than Rs 1 lakh per connection. In view of this, support should also be provided to the state under 90:10 ratio in Jal Jeevan Mission.

Because of the war be

tween Russia and Ukraine, the price of many items has in creased unexpectedly. This has also created difficulties in imple mentation. For this rea son, the Centre should extend Mission’s time limit, so that every fam ily can get the benefit of the mission,” he said.

It was told in the meeting that about 30 lakh families have been benefited by spending Rs 10,247 cr by the State Government in Jal Jee van Mission since 2019.

Education is the base, but it is experience which builds the tall buildings, fueled by the mortar of dreams.
