Indian Political Discussion
- Thread starter Parul
- Start date
Gaza was under Egyptian rule in 1960. Nehru was visiting Indian troops serving with UN at the time.India recognised State of Palestine in 1988. So technically, Modi is first Indian PM to visit a country we recognised 30 years ago i.e. when Rajiv Gandhi was PM.
I hope this isn't the only bright spot in his visit . Frankly , all this made for good optics in the first 2 or 3 years after he took power . What we need are investments ! And Abu Dhabi is as rich as they come ; to fund our infrastructure projects and industries . Since this is his second visit there , I sincerely hope we get to hear better news on that front ASAP.
The prime minister will have a bilateral meeting with Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed at Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi. Around 12 to 14 agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) will be signed between both nations after the talks.
The most important agreements will be in the energy and manpower sectors.
Hope we hear something good on Economy Part!?
Kejriwal rejects the proposal of compensation to parents of #AnkitSaxena !Delhi CM Kejriwal met family of deceased #Hindu youth Ankit Saxena but did NOT announce any compensation to his parents.
Only medical & legal aid. Ankit was ONLY son of his parents. Had Ankit been Khalid from Peaceful Community, he would have announced 1 Crore for his family help, job et al.. #Secularism
The bigotry of a true bhakt. How do you know what would have happened if it had been Khalid? Your bias is sickening.
And you may read what you want behind the censored word. It would not be harsh enough.
There have been Past Precedent(s) where in Urban Naxal Kejriwal has given Compensation to People from Peaceful Community Or, travelled to meet their families, including OBC-Dalits as it suited his Political Agenda.
He even offered Job to Family Member of person whom committed Suicide outside Delhi which had Zilch to do with Delhi's Politics.
Ankit was the only child in his Family, No Job, No Compensation. Moreover, he Visited his Family only after reminded of his Previous such visits in Delhi & other states of India.
And you leave no stone unturned to support your Fellow Urban Naxal(s) & the Secular Forces. This exposes your sicking bias & Bigotry; even the Shakespeare's English refuses to hide it.

PM Narendra Modi meets Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi; India, UAE sign 5 pacts
Abu Dhabi: Shortly after his arrival in UAE, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and held wide-ranging talks with him on Saturday.
In the presence of PM Modi and Al Nahyan, the two sides also signed five agreements including a historic pact awarding a consortium of Indian oil companies a 10 percent stake in offshore oil concession.
Modi, who arrived here from Jordan on the second leg of his three-nation tour, was received by Mohammed Bin Zayed and other members of the Royal family at the airport.
The two leaders hugged each other and exchanged pleasantries.
The Prime Minister thanked the Crown Prince for the special gesture of receiving him at the airport and said his visit will have a positive impact on India-UAE ties.
"We warmly welcome our state guest and valued friend, the Indian Prime Minister H.E.@narendramodi to the UAE. His visit reflects our long-standing historical ties and is a testament to our friendly bilateral relationship," Mohammed Bin Zayed, also the Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, tweeted.
Prime Minister Modi, who is here on his second visit to the UAE, held wide-ranging talks with and Mohammed Bin Zayed.
Modi had first visited the UAE as Prime Minister in August 2015.
After their talks, the two sides signed five agreements related to the energy sector, railways, manpower and financial services.
An MOU between Indian Consortium (OVL, BPRL and IOCL) and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) was signed for the acquisition of a 10 percent participating interest in the Abu Dhabi's offshore Lower Zakum Concession, a statement issued by the Indian embassy here said.
The concession will be for 40 years from 2018 to 2057. Sixty percent of the participating interest will be retained by ADNOC and remaining 30 percent will be awarded to other international oil companies, the statement said.
"This is the first Indian Investment in the upstream oil sector of UAE, transforming the traditional buyer-seller relationship to a long-term investor relationship," it added.
To cooperate in the field of manpower, India and the UAE signed a MoU that aims to institutionalise the collaborative administration of contractual employment of Indian workers in the Gulf country.
Under the MoU, both the sides will work to integrate their labour related e-platforms for ending the existing malpractices, combat trafficking and organise collaborative programs for education and awareness of contractual workers.
A MoU for technical cooperation in railways was also signed between the two sides. The MoU aims at cooperation in infrastructure sector especially railways.
"The MoU will facilitate the development of joint projects, knowledge sharing, joint research and technology transfer. The MoU envisages formation of a Joint Working Group for institutionalising the cooperation mechanism," the statement said.
To deepen bilateral cooperation in the field of finance, a MoU between Bombay Stock Exchange and Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange was also signed. It aims at enhancing cooperation between both the countries in the financial services industry.
The MoU would facilitate investment in financial markets by investors from both the countries.
A MoU between Government of Jammu and Kashmir and DP World was also signed to establish multi-modal logistics park and hub in Jammu comprising warehouses and specialised storage solutions.
Various buildings in Abu Dhabi were lit in the Indian tricolour as the city was decked up to welcome Prime Minister Modi, who also attended a state banquet hosted by the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince.
The Prime Minister will visit Wahat Al Karama, the UAE martyr's war memorial here, on Sunday before travelling to Dubai where he will interact with the Indian community at an event at the Dubai Opera House and will witness the ground-breaking ceremony of the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi. The ceremony will be live-streamed to the Opera House.
Prime Minister Modi will also deliver a keynote address at the World Government Summit in Dubai where India is a guest of honour this year.
He will make the inaugural address on the theme: 'Technology for development'.
On the first leg of his trip, Modi earlier in the day travelled to Ramallah, becoming the first Indian Prime Minister to make an official visit to Palestine.
In Ramallah, Prime Minister Modi met Mahmoud Abbas during which the Palestinian President sought India's support for a multi-country mechanism to achieve a "just and desired peace" with Israel in accordance with the two-state solution.
They discussed the full range of India-Palestine ties following which the two sides signed six agreements worth around USD 50 million that includes setting up of a USD 30 million super speciality hospital in Beit Sahur.
From the UAE, Modi will travel to Oman.

Right Winger's, Modi Bhaktas et al trying to help Ankit's family whom the Urban Naxals & Secular Forces Government refused to help because he wasn't Akhlaaq:
Where is Gurmehar Kaur when you need her?? Ooops we do have one such (wo) Man minus the placards here ?
P.S- Any talk of PMS or PTSD resulting out of PMS will be severely frowned upon ! @RATHORE
There have been Past Precedent(s) where in Urban Naxal Kejriwal has given Compensation to People from Peaceful Community Or, travelled to meet their families, including OBC-Dalits & Counterfeit Dalits as it supports his kind of Politics.
He even offered Job to Family Member of person whom committed Suicide outside Delhi which had Zilch to do with Delhi's Politics.
Ankit was the only child in his Family, No Job, No Compensation. Moreover, he Visited his Family only after reminded of his Previous such visits in Delhi & other states of India.
And you leave no stone unturned to support your Fellow Urban Naxal(s) & the Secular Forces. By the way this exposes your sicking bias & Bigotry; even the Shakespeare's English refuses to hide it.

Stripped of those cheap and undignified emoticons, you have not explained why you think it could have been different if the victim had been Muslim.
I don't need Shakespeare's English, an English that I do not use, to underline the disgusting attitude that you display.
Nor do I need to make sly allusions, falsely made up, to other people's affiliations, in order to put their posts in a bad light. I say it out in the open. I admit that might pose a problem for you; your narrowness of mind and smallness of heart will show up even more clearly than it does already.
