Agency News: New Delhi External affairs minister S Jaishankar took a jibe at Congress’s Rahul Gandhi and said that Indian Army is not in LAC on Rahul Gandhi’s orders. Gandhi had earlier said that the “government is sleeping”. Speaking at an India Today event, Jaishankar said India has done the biggest-ever LAC deployment to counter Chinese deployments, which were scaled up since 2020. “The Army is deployed to counter any attempt to unilaterally alter the LAC, that is the commitment of the Indian Army. If we were in denial, then Army won’t be deployed there,” said Jaishankar.Defending India’s stance of deploying an increased number of soldiers at the border, Jaishankar said the nation would not allow any country to change status quo of LAC unilaterally. The comment by the external affairs minister comes at a time when both the countries are engaged in a stand-off post December 9 clash in Arunachal’s Tawang. Rahul Gandhi had earlier said that as China was preparing for a war, the Indian government is sleeping. Earlier in the day, Gandhi said: “I can see the threat

The police are yet to investigate the details given by the company.

An eery quietness prevailed in the major cities of China on Sunday as people locked themselves in their homes in the wake of the burgeoning number of COVID-19 cases across the country. Currently, China is battling the first of the three predicted waves of Covid cases this winter season, as per the chief epidemiologist of the country Wu Zunyou. There is a high chance of cases multiplying in China if citizens continue returning to their homes in a mass transit movement to attend the Lunar New Year holiday to be held next month. In the wake of surging Covid-19 cases, hearses carrying coffins were seen queued in the designated COVID-19 crematorium’s driveway in Beijing on Saturday, as workers in the funeral parlours of the city appeared busier than usual, days after the zero-Covid tolerance policy was reversed by China. Services from delivery of parcels to catering have been hit recently after the Omicron variant, which is highly transmissible, spread across Beijing. Funeral
crematoriums and homes are finding it difficult to manage the increasing demand as more drivers and workers are contracting the virus. Officially, China has not yet reported any death due to Covid since December 7 when the government abruptly pulled back its zero-Covid tolerance policy after it faced unprecedented protests from the people against the strict protocol. Mass testing for coronavirus has ended as part of easing curbs imposed under the zero-Covid policy, raising doubt over whether the number of cases reported officially can present the intensity of the outbreak. On December 17, around 2,097 new symptomatic infections of Covid were reported by China. Empty subways were seen in the photos uploaded of the city of Xian on social media, as people complained of facing delays in receiving their deliveries.

Earlier on December 16, the National Human Rights Commission took a suo motu cognizance of the acid incident in Delhi and sought detailed reports within four weeks from the Police Commissioner, Chief Secretary of the government. “NHRC has taken suo motu cognizance of the media reports that two masked men threw acid on a 17-year-old girl on her way to school in West Delhi on December 14, 2022. Reportedly, the victim was admitted to the Safdarjung Hospital ICU,” an official statement said.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday alleged that the BJP government “talks like a lion outside the country, but is acting like a mouse within” as it is unable to take on China for indulging in incursions along the border and is running away from a debate on the issue in Parliament. Speaking at a rally in Rajasthan’s Alwar during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, he also claimed that while the Congress stood for the country and helped attain Independence after its leaders gave supreme sacrifices, “not even a dog of the BJP was lost” for the country. Kharge accused the BJP of dividing the people of the country on lines of religion, caste and region and alleged that it was ending democracy and autonomy of constitutional institutions, against which the Congress was taking out the Bharat Jodo Yatra. “The Modi government claims that they are very strong and pat themselves

Kharge said he again raised the issue of China in Parliament and wanted a discussion on the border situation, but the BJP government is not ready for it. “They talk like a lion outside, but their actions if you see are like a mouse. We want that the issue be discussed and give notices.

Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Bharati Pravin Pawar told Rajya Sabha last week that over 40 per cent positions in centrally run healthcare institutions were lying vacant. This staggering number highlights a crisis affecting not only India’s health systems but of several countries. Recent news reports from the UK, Germany, France and Spain have shown vacancies in healthcare services to be reaching a breaking point. This global phenomenon needs urgent addressal from health systems and countries alike. The reasons for healthcare workforce shortages have been both country and system specific. Historically, healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, technicians and allied health workers have required specialised training institutions with long periods of training. But in most countries, the number of seats and institutions have been inadequate to meet the healthcare needs. While the global north has generally done better than the global south and low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), developed economies too have felt the pressure due to changing demographics and disease profiles. Developed countries have been able to attract the best talent from around the world to run their health systems. This along with better quality of life and higher pay ensured a brain drain from the developing world to the developed world in the past four decades. The advancements in health infrastructure and systems over the past two decades in countries like India have been able to stem the flow of professionals overseas, but the problem still persists. In India, two divergent data points have been highlighted by the government in Parliament. One the one hand, there has been an 87 percent and 105 percent rise in the number of graduate MBBS and post-graduate seats over the past eight years. At the same time, nearly 6 percent of post-graduate seats remain vacant in a health system that has a shortage of super specialists. Moreover, the bed-to-patient and doctor-to-patient ratios, by World Bank’s 2017 estimates, were 0.5 and 0.8 per 1,000 - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara people, all below LMIC standards.

Just 2 Judges Cannot Decide on Same Sex Marriage: Sushil Modi Agency News: New Delhi
Expressing reservations against same sex marriage, Rajya Sabha BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi on Monday said that it would “shred” the delicate fabric of society. Two judges can’t sit and decide such social matters. There should rather be a debate in Parliament and society, he asserted during Zero Hour in the upper house. He alleged that some liberals are following the West blindly. The Supreme Court is hearing the matter and has sought the Centre’s response on it. On Wednesday, the Top court issued a notice on a petition filed by a same-sex couple seeking legal recognition of their marriage in India. A bench headed by Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud issued notice on the plea. The plea, filed through advocate Nupur Kumar, said, “The present petition has been filed praying
that this court may be pleased to issue a declaration to the effect that the persons belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community have the same right to marriage as their heterosexual counterparts and a denial therefore is violative of the rights guaranteed under Articles 14, 19, and 21 of Part III of the Constitution of India, and upheld in various judgements of the Supreme Court including Navtej Singh Johar v.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday called for a boycott of Chinese goods and laid down the ideology of the party that has just qualified for national status. The Delhi chief minister said at the AAP’s national council meeting: “The citizens of India will volunteer to pay a little more for these goods if they get to know that they are being produced in India and benefitting our countrymen. They will be willing to pay double the amount if the government boycotts Chinese goods and manufactures these within India. Today, I would like to urge our citizens to boycott Chinese goods and buy only locally made goods.” He added: “I would also like to urge the BJP-led government to show some courage and stand with their soldiers…. This is the 21st century, and no country can just take over the territory of another country in this day and age. In the modern world, it is all about trade
and economics. The day we show some courage and stop this $95 billion imports from China, it will come to the terms that India has laid down for it.” Kejriwal said: “..The AAP stands firm on three basic principles in Indian politics. The first is that we believe in kattar deshbhakti, we are absolute patriots.... Secondly, we are all kattar imandaar — citizens who are absolutely honest. Our party was formed from the fight against corruption.... We have come here to clean up the politics of the country.” He added: “Ourthird principle is of insaniyat (humanism). Our work should be such that it takes every community forward. We do not believe in creating rifts between communities, like the other parties do.”

UP: 5 killed, 33 injured in road accidents due to dense fog Agency News: New Delhi Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s statement of “starting political classes after his retirement” has triggered a major debate in the political circles of the desert state. Gehlot, when asked to speak on the political model of Rajasthan during a press conference on Saturday organised on four years of completion of the Congress government in Rajasthan had quipped, “I will start taking political classes after my retirement.” BJP state president Satish Poonia said, “God forbid! If a person sees such a day that someone has to go to the Ashok Gehlot School of Politics, then he will learn to lie, make false declarations and break promises… You can definitely get training on these issues, but there is no scope for training in traditional ethical politics, which Rajasthan was once known for in some era,” he said. Not only the BJP, but the Congress’ own leaders cannot resist to speak on the issue. Sushil Asopa,
former secretary, Rajasthan unit of the Congress tweeted, “I don’t want to go to any class to learn politics. Whenever I am in trouble, I sit down to read the incomplete autobiography of Pandit Nehru, the knowledge of moral politics becomes strong.” His tweet clearly went with Gehlot’s satirical statement on starting the political classes. Meanwhile, speculations are also rife in the state about the statement of Gehlot. “Mr Gehlot has been a politician over the last four decades and a politician never thinks or announces his retirement plan. His statement has added fuel to fire amid the ongoing political tussle in Rajasthan over leadership issues,” said a senior leader on condition of anonymity.

2 held for setting up fake FCI office, duping job aspirants in UP Agency News: Lucknow
The police have arrested two members of a gang that had created an office of Food Corporation of India (FCI) in a rented building at Mahanagar for running a fake recruitment drive for the FCI since last year. The gang conducted interviews to win the job-seekers’ confidence and later issued fake appointment letters to select a few. However, before those who got appointment letters could realise that they were duped, the gang wrapped up the entire setup and fled. The police managed to arrest two gang members, Neeraj Pandey and Jitendra Kailash, after a yearlong electronic surveillance from near Nishatganj flyover on Sunday. A non-bailable warrant (NBW) was issued against the duo. The police said that it all started when one Manish Kumar Rai on June 14, 2021, lodged an FIR alleging that
the arrested duo had taken Rs 1.75 crore on pretext of a job in FCI. The police said that Manohar Rai, Aryan Anand, Munna Kumar, Ajay Yadav, Subedar Rajbhar, Afroz Khan along with 12 others had given Rs 1.75 crore to the accused.
