White House calls India talks 'productive' as Piyush Goyal says most trade discussions concluded

Digital Desk | Washington, Oct 27 (IANS) The White House said that the Trump administration was engaged in productive talks with India on a historic trade deal, hours after Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said the two sides had concluded most of the discussions and were fine-tuning the agreement. Representatives of the Trump administration continue to engage in productive talks with Indian officials to secure a historic trade deal that puts Americans and America First, White House spokesman Matthew Middleton told IANS. President Trump and Prime Minister Modi have a close personal relationship, and both leaders remain committed to lifting bilateral ties to new levels, Middleton said. Speaking at the India-Netherlands Business Forum in The Hague on Monday, Goyal said: We have concluded most of the discussions and are fine-tuning the agreement. Goyal is in the Netherlands as part of a visit to Germany and the Netherlands with a business delegation. He also said India had concluded nine free trade agreements in the last four and a half years. India and the US announced the framework for the first phase of a bilateral trade agreement in February. Under the framework announced on February 7, the US cut the tariff on Indian goods to 18 per cent from 50 per cent. Subsequent changes in US tariff policy, including after the US Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, led to further negotiations. Goyal met US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on the sidelines of the G20 Trade Ministerial in Milwaukee on October 1. A team led by Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal held talks with US officials in Washington from October 15 to 17. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during his visit to Mumbai on October 20, said the two sides were close to an agreement. Were very, very close. I would say were about as close as you can be without (inaudible) agreement. I think theres a small number of items to wrap up, so I think that will happen shortly, Rubio told reporters. Obviously the State Department doesnt negotiate trade agreements, but we are very much involved in whats happening, Rubio said. The trade negotiations have been closely watched in both countries, with Washington pressing New Delhi to buy more American energy and technology, and Indian exporters seeking relief from US tariffs. India has said it intends to buy $500 billion worth of US energy products, aircraft and aircraft parts, precious metals, technology products and coking coal over five years. The US is Indias largest trading partner.

Brazil Eyes Indias BrahMos, Akash As Delhi Aims To Expand Its Weapons Footprint To Trumps Backyard

Brazil is sending a large military delegation to India for a two-week tour of key defence facilities. The officers will examine BrahMos, Akash, Garuda artillery and other Indian systems. Brazil has a coastline stretching more than 7,000 kilometres and is reportedly exploring BrahMos for anti-ship and precision-strike missions. It is also evaluating the Akash-NG for a medium- and high-altitude air-defence programme. The visit could become a major test for Indias growing defence-export ambitions. A Brazilian purchase would take BrahMos and Akash into Latin America, a region long dominated by American, European and Israeli suppliers. India is no longer only importing weapons. It is building, exporting and promoting its own missile, radar and air-defence ecosystem. If Braslia moves from evaluation to procurement, India could gain a strategic foothold in Americas backyard.

Arunachal Face-Offs: China Repeating 'Ladakh Toolkit' Vs India; Peace Lecture Exposes Beijing

China breaks the border peace, then lectures India about maintaining it. In Arunachal Pradesh, PLA troops are facing off with Indian forces, Chinese patrols are deviating from established routes, and Beijing calls for restraint without admitting a thing. ITBP chief Shatrujeet Kapur acknowledged frequent face-offs, Delhi highlighted the deviations, and Chinese spokesperson Guo Jiakun responded with a sermon on peace. August reports of Chinese tents near Asaphila add weight to the concerns. From Depsang, Chumar and Doklam to Galwan and Tawang, the same playbook repeats: move forward, obstruct patrols, claim territory, rename land, then blame India. China claims Arunachal as Zangnan, while the thaw, handshakes, flights and border trade now look vulnerable.

Ranji Trophy: Badoni Slams Second Successive Ton, Saranshs Seven-for Puts MP On Top

JSCA International Stadium: Batting all-rounder Ayush Badoni continued his rich vein of form by hitting a second consecutive hundred, while India off-spinner Saransh Jains seven-wicket haul gave Madhya Pradesh firm control on day one of the third-round Ranji Trophy matches on Monday. Fresh from a career-best 217 against Gujarat, Badoni struck an unbeaten 106 off 122 balls, laced with 11 fours and two sixes, to take Delhi to 309/5 against Jharkhand at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi. Badoni, 26, previously hit 205 against the same opponents in the 2024/25 season. A chanceless knock, Badonis sixth first-class hundred, anchored Delhis recovery. He found a reliable ally in all-rounder Sumit Mathur, who was unbeaten on 50, as the pair put together an unbroken 128-run stand for the sixth wicket. Mathur had a lucky escape on 36 when he was caught at long-on, only to be recalled because Anukul Roy had overstepped. At Holkar Stadium in Indore, Saranshs 7-40 helped Madhya Pradesh bowl Bihar out for just 99. The hosts, still looking for their first win of the season after two draws, then reached 261/3 with a lead of 162, after bowling out Bihar for 99. Wicketkeeper-batter Saksham Purohit was unbeaten on 113, and his opening partner Yash Dubey made 84. At the BKC Ground, Mumbai also made a strong start against Haryana at home after being put in to bat first. Angkrish Raghuvanshi made 114 off 180 balls with 13 fours and a six, while Musheer Khan scored 109 off 185 balls with 12 fours and a six. The pair added 208 runs for the second wicket to steer Mumbai to 290/3 at stumps. Defending champions Jammu and Kashmir, also in search of their first win, were frustrated by Priyanshu Moliya at the Reliance Ground in Vadodara. Moliyas patient unbeaten 113 lifted Baroda to 259/6 after they had slipped to 197/6 at one stage. Vidarbha, who have two wins so far, had Goa in trouble at 84/6 after Nachiket Bhute ripped through the top order with four wickets. But Darshan Misal and Yash Kasvankar then struck half-centuries and shared a stand of 104 runs for the seventh wicket to help the visitors reach 204/8. On a rain-hit day, Pondicherry reduced Uttar Pradesh to 67/4. In Mysuru, Karnataka recovered from a sluggish start to bowl Tripura out for 194 at the SDNR Wadiyar Stadium. The hosts, who sprang a surprise by leaving out pacers Vidwath Kaverappa and Abhilash Shetty to accommodate spinners Shikhar Shetty and Ritesh Bhatkal, failed to make use of the new ball as Tripura moved comfortably to 88/2 in the first session. Left-arm spinner Shikhar then claimed his third first-class five-wicket haul, while pacer Manvanth Kumar took three. Karnataka lost Mayank Agarwal early and were 10 for one at stumps. At the DVR Ground in Mulapadu, Chhattisgarhs spinners made full use of a helpful pitch to bowl Andhra out for 231. Veteran off-spinner Jayant Yadav led the way with 4-75, while Ajay Mandal and Dharmendrasinh Jadeja took three and two wickets respectively. In reply, Chhattisgarh lost Ayush Pandey early when he was run out going for an unnecessary quick single. Captain Anuj Tiwary and Mayank Verma then negotiated the final half-hour to take the visitors to 35/1. Wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh laid the foundation with 81 off 126 balls, hitting nine fours and a six, while fifties from Salil Arora and Ramandeep Singh then guided Punjab to 289/6 against Hyderabad in Secunderabad. Denish Das made 90 off 165 balls, with 14 fours, to take Assam to 235/6 against Saurashtra in Rajkot. For the hosts, veteran pacer Jaydev Unadkat picked up three wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja and Arth Yadav took one wicket each. In Thiruvananthapuram, where only 50 overs were possible due to rain, Kerala reduced Bengal to 172/6, with Aditya Sarwate taking three wickets and Nedumankuzhy Basil two scalps. Maharashtra bowled out Gujarat for 233 in Pune, with Siddhesh Veer taking four wickets, while Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Vicky Ostwal claimed three apiece. Maharashtra were 24/1 when stumps were called. Services off-spinner Pulkit Narang returned 6-47, his second five-wicket haul of the season, to bowl Odisha out for 194 in Bhubaneswar. The visitors were 13/0 at stumps. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived. Devendra Singh Boras six-wicket haul helped Uttarakhand dismiss Rajasthan for 272 in Dehradun despite skipper Kartik Sharmas 73. Uttarakhand were 18/0 at stumps. Centuries from Arjun Azad and Nehal Pajni powered Chandigarh past 350 for the loss of three wickets against Himachal Pradesh. In the Plate group, Meghalayas Ajay Duhan (167) and Kishan Lyngdoh (144) shared an unbroken 308-run stand for the second wicket as their side piled up 385/2 against Mizoram in Nadiad. Tamil Nadu bowled out Railways for 184 in Chennai, with R Sai Kishore and Sonu Yadav taking three wickets each, but slipped to 71/3 till stumps arrived.

Movement intensifying every day: D. Raja on public demand for CECs resignation

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 26 (IANS) CPI General Secretary D. Raja on Monday said that the agitation against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation is intensifying every day, with people being extremely angry and anguished and coming out onto the streets to press for his resignation. Speaking to IANS, Raja said the CPI's human chain programme would be an independent party initiative, while the other events would be organised under the banner of the opposition INDIA bloc. On October 30, our party will organise a human chain programme. It is an independent programme of the CPI. There is also a public impeachment programme organised on behalf of the INDIA bloc. On November 1, there will be a huge rally at Ramlila Maidan, organised by the INDIA bloc. Our party will also participate, he said. Raja alleged that public anger against the Chief Election Commissioner was growing and claimed that people were increasingly taking to the streets to demand his resignation. Every day, the movement is intensifying, and people are coming out onto the streets. People are extremely angry and anguished, and they demand that the Chief Election Commissioner should resign. However, he is not doing so, he said. He added that INDIA bloc parties had approached the President and the Supreme Court over their concerns, but alleged that the Chief Election Commissioner had continued in office despite their actions. Raja also criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that he had not spoken about the developments in the country. Reacting to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's controversial remarks concerning the Prime Minister's father, Raja said Kharge was a senior politician and the head of the Congress party, and that he was best placed to explain the context of his comments. The media is reporting that he has made certain comments or remarks. In what context and under what provocation he said those things, he is competent enough to explain. The Congress party is also competent to explain, Raja said. He further clarified that the Left party generally focused on ideological, political, social, and economic issues rather than personal attacks. As far as our party is concerned, we do not indulge in personal attacks or personal criticism. We raise issues of national importance and those related to people's livelihoods. We question and criticise the government, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister, but we have our own way of criticising those in power, he added.
