SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial

SUNVILLA SAMACHAR From Nandigram to Nandigram, has ‘poriborton’ has come full circle

Nandigram has been the ‘epicentre’ of ‘poriborton’ of sorts. Way back in 2007, things went horribly awry for the CPM... cut to January 18, 2021, and is it Trinamool’s turn to be “paid back in the same coin” (remember what the erstwhile Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya had said on March 14, 2007, the day protesting farmers were fired on)?For clarity, we need to flash back to the rise and rise of Trinamool, especially in Nandigram, vis-à-vis the challenge posted to the same Trinamool (supremo) 14 years later, by her own former party strongman... Suvendu Adhikari.In 2007, it was the ‘symbolic’ Nandigram that shook the entire nation. Riding high on the Left regime’s three-decade rule of the state, the then Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya was on a mission to industrialise West Bengal. But the then opposition leader and Trinamool Congress’s fiery Mamata Banerjee, had fasted throughout December 2006, putting Tata Motors in reverse gear. Also, the Left’s decision to set up the Salim SEZ in Nandigram was botched when farmers, with the help of Trinamool activists, clashed with around 300 CPI(M) cadres. Six died in the violent clashes and the farmers blocked the area that had been categorised for the SEZ. Nandigram also showed how a constitutional crisis was precipitated when the ruling party (the CPM) took the law into its own hands and made the state machinery witness to the excesses of its cadres.To prevent police and the local administration from entering the area, the people set up blockades. Clashes with the pro-government groups started and some of them had to flee to the nearby Khejuri town. On January 5, various groups and parties like the Congress, the Trinamool Congress and the SUCI formed the Bhumi Uchched Pratirodh Committee (BUPC). On January 7, 2007, the CPI-M cadres tried to recapture lost ground and reportedly attacked the villagers. In turn, the villagers attacked the CPM cadres. The then CM admitted that a mistake had been made by the Haldia Development Authority in issuing a notice notifying the land. But on February 12, 2007, the chairperson of the authority, a CPM MP, again stated that the land would be acquired.On March 14, Bhattacharya ordered 2,500 policemen to go and ‘recapture” Nandigram, but they were allegedly accompanied by 400 ‘CPI(M) cadres’. Officially, 14 farmers died in the firing. Bhattacharya, instead of showing any remorse, had said, “They have been paid back in their own coin.” The coin, like in the film Sholay, probably had the same impression on both sides and for the CPM at that moment, it was ‘heads they’d lose and tails too’. While the Left lost all its credibility in its bastion, Trinamool went from strength to strength and the rest is history. In 2011, Didi’s ‘Ma, Maati, Manush’ ruled the roost! But all that is past. On January 18, 2021, hours after the CM and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee announced she was contesting the upcoming state assembly polls from Nandigram, Adhikari, once her aide and brigadier in the Nandigram battle, but today, a BJP heavyweight, attacked his former boss, for “remembering Nandigram only during polls”.Reality is always harsh. The same Nandigram which was the scene of massive public protests and those by Mamata and her able aide Adhikari, today looks like a script that went out of the director and producer’s control.After Mamata sprang a surprise on Monday when she declared she would contest the 2021 assembly election from Nandigram, the seat held by Adhikari, her former aide retorted, “You, your corrupt nephew and your ‘private limited’ can make announcements. But either you will lose Nandigram by over half-a-lakh votes, or else I will quit politics. Whether it’s me or whoever else the BJP chooses to field from Nandigram, we will beat Mamata by over half-a-lakh votes.”BJP’s chanceWe need to read between the lines here. Mamata, a veteran in politics, had initially said at the rally she would pick a formidable candidate for Nandigram, only to announce moments later that she was picking herself and would also stand from Bhowanipore. This, however, gave the BJP a chance to point out that the seasoned stalwart wasn’t sure of her fate in Bhowanipore this time. “The BJP had pushed back the TMC (by 496 votes) in Mamata Banerjee’s own ward (KMC Ward No 73) under Bhowanipore Assembly constituency during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. That explains Pishi’s jitteriness and decision to change her seat... If the CM is not sure, can her party win?” tweeted Amit Malviya, head of the BJP’s national i n f o r m a t i o n - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara technology cell.

Supreme Court asks Centre to withdraw plea against farmers’ tractor march on Republic Day january 26 The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Centre to withdraw its plea against the proposed tractor march by protesting farmer unions on Republic Day and reiterated that it will not pass orders against the protest rally. The farmers, staging a protest at the various entry points of Delhi, called for a mega tractor rally on Republic Day. Agency News: New Delhi The Supreme Court on Wednesday (January 20, 2021) asked the Centre to withdraw its plea against the proposed tractor march by protesting farmer unions on Republic Day and reiterated that it will not pass orders against the protest rally. The top court said the decision has to be taken by the

Centre and Delhi Police. The farmers, staging a protest at the various entry points of Delhi against the three farm laws, called for a mega tractor rally on Republic DayNotably, the apex court has ordered a fourmember committee to resolve the deadlock between the farmers and government as the previous nine rounds of talks between the Centre and farmer

unions have failed to bring any results as both sides are firm on their demands.One of the members, Bhupinder Singh Mann, National President of the Bhartiya Kisan Union, had last week said he was recusing himself from the four-member committee.On the other hand, farmer groups have already started their preparations for the tractor rally on Republic

Day. Thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana will start leaving for Delhi on tractors and have started making arrangements for the journey. The farmers union

China’s plan to construct villages close to Indian border concerns security agencies Agency News: Mumbai Tibet was annexed by Chinese troops more than 60 years ago and China continues its brutal occupation of the region till this day. To create an “impenetrable security barrier” between occupied Tibet and the outside world, China has adopted a strategy of creating “Border Defence Villages”. As per reports, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) cadres are stationed in these villages to counter “infiltration by hostile forces”. One of the key focus areas of this plan is developing connectivity infrastructure.In 2019, the Chinese government constructed a major tunnel and bridge that would connect Tibet’s capital Lhasa to the Chinese province of Sichuan

through a rail link. This new rail link is of great strategic importance to China and is located close to India. The development of these border villages has serious implications for India’s defence. These ‘Border Defence Villages’ will change the demography of the border areas over time. The

construction of these border villages is especially worrisome for India following the 2017 stand-off between India and Chinese troops on the Doklam Plateau. The plateau is only 9 kilometers away from Yadong county, Tibet. This region is considered strategically sensitive due to its location and its relative proximity from the

Indian border.“If China was to increase its influence over the region , it would allow Chinese forces to access the Siliguri Corridor, known as the “Chicken’s Neck”. If Chinese forces can exert influence over the “Chicken’s Neck” from Yadong, then China can cut off India’s access to the North East completely in times of war or disputes,” a source familiar of these developments told Zee News.Chinese President Xi Jinping has stated that the frontiers of the nation must be governed well to be able to aptly administer to the whole country. Wu Yingjie, the CCP Chief of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) has stated that Tibet is a special frontier ethnic region and therefore is extremely important.

has claimed that their march will be peaceful.Meanwhile, the farmer unions will hold the 10th round of talks with the Centre on Wednesday. The central government had

earlier postponed the 10th round of scheduled talks with the protesting farmers` leaders to January 20. While at the Ghazipur border, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesperson, Rakesh Tikait said the postponement of the meeting for a day is not going to make any difference as farmers will not leave the borders till the three farm laws are repealed. “It does not matter that the meeting is delayed. We are here to stay till our demands are acknowledged and laws are repealed. We hope that matter will be resolved through dialogue,” he said.

Donald Trump grants clemency to over 100 people, including ex-aide Steve Bannon, rapper Lil Wayne While the more than 140 people granted clemency included former aide Steve Bannon and major Republican Party fundraiser Elliott Broidy, Trump also used his wide ranging powers to clear people with little apparent ties to his administration. Rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were among the beneficiaries of Donald Trump`s wave of pardons in his last day in office on Wednesday. Agency News: Washinton Rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black were among the beneficiaries of Donald Trump`s wave of pardons in his last day in office on Wednesday, befitting a president who made his name in New York`s tabloids and on reality TV.While the more than 140 people granted clemency included former aide Steve Bannon and major Republican Party fundraiser Elliott Broidy, Trump also used his wide ranging powers to clear people with little apparent ties to his administration. Bannon was a top adviser on Trump`s 2016 campaign and served as the Chief

White House Strategist for roughly seven months. He was arrested and charged last August with defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors who contributed to a fundraising campaign for a private border wall.Five-time Grammy Award winner Lil Wayne, whose legal name is Dwayne Carter Jr., appeared to support Trump on the campaign trail ahead of Trump`s reelection bid when Carter said he backed Trump`s criminal justice reform program and economic plan for African Americans.Carter, whose 2016 single “No Problem” won the Best Rap Performance Grammy, pleaded guilty last month to illegally

possessing a loaded, gold-plated handgun when his chartered jet landed in Miami in December 2019. He faced a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Black, 23, who was born Bill Kahan Kapri, is in federal prison for making a false statement to buy a firearm, and released the album “Bill Israel” from behind bars. Black pleaded guilty in August 2019, and three months later was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison. He was seeking compassionate release and his commutation was supported by religious leaders, other rappers and athletes. Despite speculation, the list did not include the subject

of the Netflix series “Tiger King”, Joe Exotic, who is serving a 22year prison sentence for plotting to kill a rival and animal cruelty. Most presidents have issued pardons late in their terms. Usually processed through the Office of the Pardon Attorney, they are intended to address cases in which the punishment is outsized compared to the crime. Trump, who delivered

his first pardon in August 2017, his first year in office, had issued 70 in total before Wednesday, many of which have been given to people who are friendly with his administration. Trump`s pardons have also included some people tied to celebrities, including Alice Marie Johnson, a woman convicted on drug charges whose case was championed by reality television star Kim Kardashian West. Trump has gotten involved with criminal justice cases affecting celebrities in other ways as well. In 2019, Trump sought to intervene when A$AP Rocky was detained in Sweden after a brawl in downtown Stockholm. The rapper, whose legal name is Rakim Mayers, and two members of his entourage were charged with assault causing bodily harm. Mayers said he had acted in self-defense after his bodyguard was attacked and was released from custody in August.

India seen contributing 15% of global growth by FY 2026

The ongoing key reforms such as sops for manufacturing, easier labour laws, wooing FDI inflows and privatisation will help improve productivity and support long-term growth at 7.5-8 per cent levels, which if played out well, can help India contribute 15 per cent of global GDP growth by FY2026, says a report.

though China retains significant ecosystem advantages and despite that India and Vietnam appear most likely to benefit from a shift out of China. “The incentives for manufacturing, easier labour laws, encouraging FDI inflows and privatisation will help improve productivity and support long-term growth closer to the upside scenario of 7.5-8 per cent.

Elon Musk all but confirmed Tesla Inc. will enter India last week, sparking jubilation among fans, some of whom have had their electric cars on order for years. But it may prove the company’s hardest yet market to crack. The world’s richest man on Jan. 13 tweeted “as promised” in response to a report on a Tesla-focused blog that the automaker was in talks with several Indian states to open an office, showrooms, a research and development center -and possibly a factory.“It’s really happening,” said Nikhil Chaudhary, a 20-year-old student at the University of

Delhi who helped start India’s Tesla fan club in early 2019, adding he “went crazy” when he heard the news. Arun Bhat, 34, a company director in Bengaluru, the city formerly known as Bangalore, was similarly overjoyed, saying that at last there’s a possibility he’ll be able to get behind the wheel of the Tesla Model 3 he ordered in 2016.For all the hype, Tesla’s foray into India is far from a done deal. The company is in discussions with state officials but is yet to decide on an Indian base, according to the Tesmanian blog post that triggered Musk’s response, which came after months of unsubstantiated speculation in local media.

A Tesla representative in Beijing declined to comment. Although India is Asia’s thirdbiggest economy and home to a budding middle class, it hasn’t rolled out the welcome mat for EVs, unlike neighbor China, where Tesla set up its first factory outside of the U.S. and now dominates electric-car sales. EVs account for about 5% of China’s annual car sales, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, compared to less than 1% in India. And most market watchers expect China to power ahead of other countries when it comes to EVs in the near term, thanks to generous government subsidies, a hankering for greener vehicles.

Ahmedabad gangrape case: Victim, others bought semen to make the complaint look real! Sunvilla News: Ahmedabad The Crime Branch has blown the lid off a case in which a fake gangrape case was filed by some men to get their opponents in a soup. The men also bought semen for Rs500 to sprinkle it in the place where the rape allegedly took place to make their complaint look real. The fake gangrape case resulted in two innocent men having to spend 35 days in jail.
