With India's support for Hindi's use, language retains 'non-official status' at UN
Digital Desk | United Nations, Oct 9 (IANS) With India voluntarily supporting the use of Hindi by the UN's Department of Global Communications (UNDGC), the language continues to retain a non-official language status, according to India's Permanent Representative P Harish. In the recently adopted multilingualism resolution, Hindi has continued to retain a non-official language status on account of DGC's transmission of news and social media in this language, he said on Thursday at the observance of Hindi Divas here. India has voluntarily supported the Hindi at UN project, which makes UN news and information available to Hindi-speaking audiences worldwide, he said. The multilingual resolution co-sponsored by Andorra and adopted last month by the General Assembly recognises the cultural, political and diplomatic importance of non-official languages, for representativeness and effective participation in the work of the United Nations, reaffirming that any representative may deliver in non-official languages. India has consistently supported multilingualism at the United Nations and has co-sponsored resolutions on this subject, Harish said. Quoting Home Minister Amit Shah, he said, language is most meaningful when it connects rather than divides the people and their culture. He noted that Hindi is the third largest spoken language in the world and the language's reach also extends beyond the borders of India by becoming an important vehicle for sharing India's ideas, stories, and cultural heritage globally. Our diaspora, literature, cinema, and digital platforms have helped carry the language to audiences across the world, he added. Joan Forner Rovira, the permanent representative of Andorra, which sponsored the multilingualism resolution, said, Article 1 of the Charter of the United Nations calls upon us to promote international cooperation and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Language is essential to making that vision a reality, he said of his multilingual country's backing for the resolution. Within the United Nations, language is one of our most important tools of diplomacy, he added. BJP MP C P Joshi said, Today, Hindi is carving a niche for itself across the globe, extending far beyond India's borders. He said the UNDGC and India made a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in 2018 to transmit United Nations news in Hindi with voluntary contributions by New Delhi. Last year, the MOU was renewed for five more years, he said. Joshi said, India is a multilingual and multicultural civilisation; all languages and dialects constitute our collective heritage. Hindi is a vital part of this rich linguistic family and ranks among the most widely spoken and understood languages in the world, he said. HM Amit Shah asserted encouraged learning one additional Indian language, linking it to the spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat (one India, great India).

NCs symbolic participation in Delhi protests puts INDIA bloc ties under scanner
Srinagar, Oct 8:The National Conference (NC)'s participation in the Congress-led protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar remained limited to the opening day, bringing into focus NC's engagement with the INDIA bloc mobilisation. On Thursday, the agitation entered its third day in New Delhi. On Tuesday, the NC was represented by its Rajya Sabha member and Parliamentary Party Leader Chowdhary Muhammad Ramzan, who joined the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and other opposition leaders in a march from Parliament towards the Election Commission. Ramzan described the participation as being on behalf of the NC's parliamentary party. Representing the NC as the partys Parliamentary Party Leader, joined my INDIA bloc colleagues in a protest march from Parliament House to the Election Commission, he said. Ramzan said national leaders and MPs from both Houses of Parliament, along with thousands of people, had participated in the protest demanding the resignation of the CEC and Election Commissioners over allegations of vote theft. However, NC's other MPs, including Lok Sabha members Main Altaf and estranged leader Aga Syed Ruhullah, and Rajya Sabha members Gurwinder Singh Oberoi and Sajad Kitchloo, were conspicuous by their absence. After the protests on the first day on Tuesday, none of the NC leaders participated in the Delhi protests, even as Congress and several opposition parties continued the mobilisation. The NC's symbolic presence on Tuesday is notable as the party is a constituent of the INDIA bloc and has publicly criticised the Election Commission over electoral-roll revision and related issues. The party's absence from the continuing Delhi protest also comes despite its participation in opposition activities on the issue in Jammu and Kashmir. However, the NC is not the only major Kashmir political party absent from the Delhi agitation. The opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP), led by Mehbooba Mufti, the People's Conference (PC), led by Sajad Gani Lone, and Member of Parliament Abdul Rashid Sheikh's Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) have also stayed away from the Congress-led protests in the national capital despite all of them being vocal against SIR. Even NC's estranged leader, Aga Syed Ruhullah, who has emerged as one of the party's more vocal internal critics and has criticised the Election Commission, has not joined the Delhi mobilisation. This means that the Congress-led protest has not translated into continuous participation by the main ruling party or the principal opposition parties from Jammu and Kashmir. The NC's approach also resembles that of the Samajwadi Party in the unfolding Delhi protests. SP President AkhileshYadav joined the INDIA bloc's opening-day march on Tuesday, following which he was detained. However, the SP was absent from a Congress-hosted opposition lunch and the subsequent protests. Tuesday's march was attended by several prominent INDIA bloc leaders, including TMC's Abhishek Banerjee and Derek O'Brien, SP chief AkhileshYadav, Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Sanjay Raut, CPI(M)'s John Brittas, and NCP-SP's SupriyaSule, besides Congress leaders and MPs. With its presence on the opening day followed by its absence on the second and third days of the Congress-led protest, the NC has sent mixed signals to the INDIA bloc. That limited participation comes against the backdrop of the party's continuing alliance with Congress and other opposition groups, leaving its role in the sustained Delhi campaign demanding the removal of the CEC under the scanner.
World has not forgotten 9/11, 26/11, Pahalgam attacks: India at UN
United Nations, Oct 8: Exposing Pakistans doublespeak on terrorism at the UN, India has called out Islamabads efforts to gloss over its state support for terror by announcing rewards for JeM chief Masood Azahar, underlining that the world has not forgotten 9/11, 26/11 and Pahalgam attacks. India on Wednesday exercised its Right of Reply in response to the Pakistan representatives statement in the Sixth Committee of the UN General Assembly on the Agenda Item: Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism. Pakistan speaks of combating terrorism while seeking to obscure the very question that this committee must confront: What happens when terrorists are financed, facilitated, trained, sheltered, or supported from the territory of a state? First Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India to the UN Raghoo Puri said. He said India has been consistent on this question, underscoring that terrorism cannot be defeated by declarations and instead requires action against its perpetrators, organisers, financiers, and sponsors. For years, Pakistan has presented itself as a frontline state in combating terrorism and as a victim while masking the fact that the Frankensteins the Pakistani state has created and lost control over have moved from wreaking havoc in neighbouring countries to doing the same in Pakistan, Puri said. Calling out Pakistans doublespeak on terrorism, Puri said the country glosses over its state support for terrorism by announcing enhanced rewards for apprehending UN-listed head of Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist and mastermind of several attacks against my country, Masood Azhar. He said the world is aware of Pakistans financial support to terrorism. Yet, we also remember that just a few months ago, Pakistani representatives used this forum to call the Jaish-e-Mohammed a defunct organisation. The world has seen the script play earlier, and we are clear-eyed that this time also it is going to be no different, he said. Puri said that when the media can reach Azhar and get confirmation from him about the success of Operation Sindoor, surely the Pakistani state knows his whereabouts. In May last year, India had launched Operation Sindoor targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the dastardly April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir perpetrated by The Resistance Front, a proxy of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, in which 26 civilians, mostly tourists were killed. ExploreHistory Earlier this month, India had dismissed as gimmicks Pakistans fresh announcement of a bounty of seven million rupees on Azhar, demanding that Islamabad take concrete action to combat terrorism. India has for years accused Pakistan of sheltering Azhar, while Pakistan has maintained that he fled to Afghanistan a claim rejected by Afghanistans Taliban government. For the last few years, Islamabad has claimed that the JeM founder has been operating from Afghanistan. However, the Taliban regime dismissed Pakistans repeated claims, with a senior Afghan Foreign Ministry official saying he is not in the country. Islamabads fresh announcement on the reward for information on Azhar came as it faces pressure from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to crack down on terror groups and their leadership. The Paris-based global watchdog is set to review Pakistans anti-terrorism efforts at its upcoming plenary. Pakistan was placed under the FATF grey list between 2018 and 2022 for its systemic deficiencies in anti-money laundering and its failure to counter-terror financing. Puri also recalled a recent statement by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, daughter of former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who had said,The unfortunate thing is that the threat [Punjab] faces comes less from my neighbouring countries and more from my neighbouring provinces. Exposing this dark secret, Puri said, You cannot run with the hares and hunt with the hounds. Reality never works like that. When terrorist groups are allowed to operate under state political power, international commitments become meaningless and when perpetrators are provided safe havens, the victims of terrorism are denied justice, he said. The world has not forgotten 9/11 and where its perpetrators, including Osama bin Laden, were caught. The world has not forgotten 26/11. The world has not forgotten Pahalgam, Puri said, adding that the list, unfortunately, is painfully long. The victims in Pahalgam were not asked about their political orientation, they were asked about their religion. It is therefore deeply ironic that Pakistan speaks of combating religious hatred while allowing the conditions that enable it to persist and thrive, especially by fomenting cross-border terrorism, he said. Pakistan continues with its narrative building, misinformation, and disinformation. If bombed-out airfields and cratered runways look like victory to Pakistan, they are of course welcome to enjoy it, Puri said. Any regime against terrorism to be effective must do two things: assign responsibility and ensure accountability. India will defend its people, and continued terrorism against India will have consequences, he added. In another Right of Reply, Puri said India rejected Pakistans circular economy of words and narratives. If this much effort had actually been made in countering terrorism rather than narrative building, misinformation, and disinformation, the world would have been a better place. But nothing more can be expected from a Form 47 government, he said, referring to a term used to describe allegations of rigging and manipulation in Pakistans 2024 general elections.
