Ukraine Minister Says India Should Be Pragmatic In Securing Energy, Defence Resources

Ukraine’s deputy foreign minister said India should be pragmatic in securing its resources, including energy and defence equipment.
“We are not in the position of instructing India in their economic ties with other countries. We only think it is crucial to diversify all of the resources, not only energy but also military resources,” Emine Dzhaparova.
The Ukrainian First Deputy Foreign Minister, referring to Russia, said, “Unfortunately, we have a country that questions the existence of other countries.” “On the question of India’s involvement — as a leader of the global south as a country holding the G20 presidency, we hope that India will be involved and engaged in global issues and challenges, economic challenges, energy challenges, and nuclear challenges to a great extent,” Ms. Dzhaparova said.

INS Vikrant Gets Back Its Original’ 1961 Bell

The bell installed on the first INS Vikrant which was part of the Indian Navy from 1961 for 36 years, has now been returned to the country’s latest and first ‘Made-in-India’ aircraft carrier of the same name commissioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year.
The bell was on the first INS Vikrant in 1961 after India bought a British-origin aircraft carrier HMS Hercules and gave it an Indian name.
The bell was returned to the INS Vikrant by retired Vice Chief of Navy Vice Admiral SN Ghormade on March 22 last month.
The traditional bell has been part of a glorious history as it was there on the warship when it played a crucial role in bombarding Pakistan in 1971 and blockading the Karachi harbor.

No One Can Encroach Even An Inch Of Our Land: Amit Shah

The era when anyone could encroach on India’s borderlands has passed and no one can dare cast an evil eye on its territorial integrity, Union home minister Amit Shah said.
Launching the ‘Vibrant Village’ program in the border village of Kibithoo in Arunachal Pradesh, one of India’s easternmost places, Shah said the valor of the Army and ITBP personnel ensures that no one can encroach even an inch of India’s land.
Speaking about the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), Shah said the law was removed from about 70 percent of the Northeastern states, and the day “is not far” when it will be “entirely” lifted from these areas.
