Error In Tough AntiDrug Law Fixed After 7 Years, Centre Says “Oversight” An error in the tough antidrugs law - the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Actdescribed as an “oversight” by the government has been fixed after seven years with an ordinance that was signed off by President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday. In 2014, a key subsection was not included after an amendment to the law in one of the most stringent provisions - Section 27 A, which “details the punishment for financing illicit trafficking of drugs as 10 years”. The provision has been used in several highprofile cases including the arrest of actor Rhea Chakraborty last year in the drugs case linked to death of actor Sushant Rajput.

Quad Is Just An Instrument For American Geo-Political Strategy
The Modi visit to the United States had three major events. The first in-person meeting with President Joe Biden; the meeting of the leaders of the Quad countries; and the speech at the UN General Assembly. The kept media in India have painted the visit in rosy colours and uncritically conveyed the official version of what transpired in the bilateral meeting with President Biden, in the meetings with Vice President Kamala Harris and the outcome of the Quad meetings. The corporate media has given a positive spin on Modi’s role and the gains that have accrued from the visit. There was nothing notable in the speech at the UN General Assembly, except for the usual self-promotion and hyperbolic statements like India is the mother of democracy. However, a critical appraisal of the joint statements issued and the outcome of the visit presents a different picture. The joint statement after the Biden-Modi meeting contains no new initiatives. The emphasis from the Biden side was on the close defence partnership with India as a major defence partner. There are references to sharing of logistics and military-to-military interactions, strengthening cooperation in advanced military technologies and promoting defence trade and co-production. More significantly, there is a reference to expanding defence engagements in a multilateral framework, including with regional partners. This is a clear indication of how India is being drawn into wider military and security arrangements with the US and its allies like the Quad. There has been no progress in bilateral trade talks given the Biden administration’s reluctance to go ahead so far. In this context, there is only a promise to reconvene the India-US Trade Policy Forum before the end of 2021. The other issues such as fight against global terrorism, critical and emerging technologies, technological cooperation and climate change are in line with what has already been stated before. It should be noted that President Biden did not lead the delegation level talks but assigned it to Vice President Kamala Harris. The Quad leaders meeting was a step towards consolidating the quadrilateral alliance. This was the first direct meeting of the leaders of the four countries. There had been an online meeting earlier in March. The Quad meeting took place a few days after the announcement of the trilateral security alliance, AUKUS, comprising the United States, UK and Australia. This new military alliance, which seeks to equip Australia with nuclear powered submarines is clearly directed against China. There has been a lot of speculation about what the role of the Quad would be after such an initiative. Not only was France, which had an agreement with Australia to supply diesel power submarines, kept in the dark, neither India nor Japan was taken into confidence about this new military grouping which includes two of the four Quad members. The strategic establishment in India, which has long been advocating an alliance with the United States has sought to put up a brave face and argue that this new security arrangement will help Quad to focus on non-military issues too such as vaccine cooperation, promoting critical technologies and supply chains and strengthening economic coordination. The joint statement issued by the Quad meeting does not help to clarify matters. It trots out the main rationale for the Quad, which is to ensure a free, open, rulesbased order (undaunted by coercion) in the Indo-Pacific region. This highlights the security aspect of the alliance. As far as vaccine cooperation is concerned, the statement covers up the utter failure of the Quad Vaccine Partnership, which was meant to provide more than a billion vaccines to the Indo-Pacific region as decided in its March meeting.The United States has refused to part with its huge stocks of vaccines to supply them todeveloping countries. India, which was given the responsibility to produce Johnson &Johnson vaccines at the Biological E. Ltd. and export them, failed spectacularly to do so; ithad to halt all vaccine exports. It has now been promised that the production from BiologicalE will be exported later this year. But the aim of countering China’s vaccine diplomacy hasalready failed, since in the past few months China has exported millions of doses of vaccineto the ASEAN countries like Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand.There are general statements about cooperation - Kapilkumar M.

On Saturday, October 2, 2021, the nation will pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi on what will be the 152nd birth anniversary of the “Father of the Nation.” Gandhi Jayanti, as the occasion is known, coincides this year with the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, which was inaugurated on March 12 by prime minister Narendra Modi, on the 91st anniversary of a significant event in Gandhi’s life, the Dandi March.The Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav will be celebrated till August 15, 2023, the 77th Independence Day.Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who shares his birthday with another legendary personality, former PM Lal Bahadur Shastri (born 1904), was born on October 2, 1869, in Porabandar, in present-day Gujarat. A lawyer whose life changed through his experiences in South Africa, Gandhi played the most significant role in India’s independence movement, holding demonstrations through non-violent means. Though it is commonly believed that the title “Mahatma” was bestowed upon Gandhi by India’s first Nobel laureate, “Gurudev” Rabindranath Tagore, the Gujarat government has disputed this, claiming instead that this title was given by a local journalist from Saurashtra. However, the leader is also commonly referred to as “Bapu” (father). Gandhi is the most frequently invoked Indian personality by world leaders, most of whom, during a visit to India, visit his resting place in Delhi. US president Joe Biden quoted the freedom fighter during his meeting with PM Modi at the White House last week. Internationally, October 2 is observed as the Day of Nonviolence in remembrance of the “Mahatma.” In India, it is a full holiday, and one of three national festivals, along with Republic Day (January 26) and Independence Day (August 15). Gandhi’s unique method of Satyagraha or peaceful non-cooperation has secured him universal fame. When it comes to peaceful protest, Gandhi’s philosophy and strategies have given a lead to the world. One of Gandhi’s biggest contributions to nation building was Sarvodaya.
