Fake imported Basil seed drink worth Rs 3.56 lakh seized in Anantnag
Anantnag, May 14:The Food Safety Department in Anantnag has seized 150 cases of a basil seed drink marketed as an imported product under the American brand during raids conducted across the district, officials said Thursday. The seized stock is valued at approximately Rs 3.56 lakh. The raids were conducted at M/S Aayet Trading Company at General Bus Stand Anantnag, M/S Hamas on Bypass Road and M/S Valley Traders & Distributors at Pushoo Market following credible inputs regarding the sale of the product in local markets, officials said. During scrutiny of the labels, serious discrepancies were observed, an official said.. Officials said the product was labelled as American brand basil seed drink, claiming to be a Product of Thailand manufactured by Golden AND SUN EXPORT, Bangkok, Thailand. However, authorities said the labels lacked mandatory importer details and carried a fake FSSAI licence number. Investigation conducted so far suggests that despite being marketed as an imported commodity, the product is suspected to have been manufactured locally, the official said. According to officials, preliminary investigation revealed that the consignments had allegedly been procured from firms based in Sonipat, New Delhi and Jammu. The department said the seized stock has been taken into custody for legal and analytical proceedings under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, while samples have been sent for laboratory analysis. The Department of Food Safety reiterates its commitment towards safeguarding public health and advises consumers to remain cautious while purchasing food products carrying suspicious or misleading labels, an official said.
Farooq Abdullah backs RSS leader, former Army Chief on dialogue with Pakistan
Anantnag, May 14: National Conference (NC) president and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah on Thursday backed comments by a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader advocating dialogue with Pakistan, saying war is never an option. Abdullah also welcomed former Army chief M. M. Naravane for endorsing the remarks made by RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale. It is a matter of joy that the RSS leader and former Army chief have advocated dialogue and talks with Pakistan, Abdullah told reporters in Anantnag. This is an appropriate time and opportunity for the Government of India to consider and implement the suggestion. Abdullah said that if he had made similar remarks earlier, he would have been branded anti-national and enemy of the country. Thank God no BJP leader criticised or opposed the remarks, he said. He said dialogue remains the only way to resolve conflicts across the world. I am glad that somebody is finally thinking that war is not an option. Through dialogue, we have to solve all our problems, whether it is the Iran-U.S.-Israel conflict or the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Abdullah said. Earlier, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti had also welcomed the statement by RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale calling for dialogue with Pakistan. Mehbooba has said that her party believes in the dialogue process between India and Pakistan as it has a positive impact on J&K. In an interview with PTI on Tuesday, Hosabale said people-to-people contact was key to breaking the deadlock with Pakistan and that there should always be a window for dialogue. Hosabale also said Pakistans military and political leadership had lost Indias confidence and that civil society should take the lead in improving ties. Responding to the ongoing BRICS conclave in New Delhi, Abdullah expressed hope the grouping would help push for peace in the Middle East. He also welcomed U.S. President Donald Trumps visit to China. Asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several Union ministers downsizing their cavalcades as part of austerity measures, Abdullah said the move was necessary in view of the fuel crisis. I think it is very good. It shows that we are short of fuel, and obviously, there is a shortage. I hope everybody will reduce their cavalcade, he said.
Jaishankar calls for reformed multilateralism at BRICS Foreign Ministers meet in Delhi
New Delhi, May 14: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday called for stronger BRICS cooperation, urgent reform of global institutions and a united stand against terrorism as India hosted the BRICS Foreign Ministers Meeting in the national capital amid rising geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty. Foreign ministers and senior representatives from BRICS member nations gathered in New Delhi for the high-level summit meeting under Indias chairship, with discussions focusing on global conflicts, energy security, climate change, terrorism, trade disruptions and reform of multilateral institutions. Addressing the inaugural session, Jaishankar said the world was passing through a time of considerable flux in international relations marked by ongoing conflicts, economic uncertainties, and challenges in trade, technology, and climate. There is a growing expectation, particularly from emerging markets and developing countries, that BRICS will play a constructive and stabilizing role, he said. Highlighting the scale of Indias engagement during its BRICS chairship, Jaishankar said more than 80 BRICS meetings had already been organised with active participation from all member countries. We have also taken forward discussions on institutional development, including the integration of new members through a stocktake and updation of existing mechanisms, he said, adding that it was essential for the smooth advancement of BRICS that new members fully subscribe to the groupings consensus on major issues. The summit witnessed participation from foreign ministers, diplomats and senior officials of BRICS nations, with deliberations centred on strengthening economic resilience, reliable supply chains, climate cooperation and technological collaboration. In his national statement during the session on global and regional issues, Jaishankar warned that the international system was facing unprecedented geopolitical and economic uncertainty driven by conflicts, climate events and the lingering effects of the Covid pandemic. What we are witnessing is not a series of isolated events, but a convergence of challenges testing the resilience of multilateral systems, he said. Referring to the situation in West Asia, Jaishankar said continuing tensions and risks to maritime routes such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea posed serious concerns for global economic stability. Safe and unimpeded maritime flows through international waterways, including the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea, remain vital for global economic well-being, he said. On the Gaza conflict, the External Affairs Minister said a sustained ceasefire, humanitarian access, and a credible pathway towards a durable and peaceful resolution remain essential, while reiterating Indias support for a two-state solution on Palestine. Jaishankar also strongly criticised cross-border terrorism and called for a uniform global approach against terror networks. Terrorism remains a continuing threat. There can be no justification for terrorism in any form. Cross-border terrorism violates the basic principles of international relations. Zero tolerance must remain an uncompromising and universal norm, he said. Calling for reforms in global governance structures, Jaishankar said the weakening state of multilateral institutions, especially the United Nations, was a matter of serious concern. With each passing day, the case for reformed multilateralism only gets stronger. This includes the reform of the UN Security Council in both the permanent and non-permanent categories. Continued delay comes at a high cost, he said. The minister also raised concerns over unilateral sanctions and coercive economic measures, saying such actions disproportionately hurt developing countries and cannot substitute dialogue, nor can pressure replace diplomacy. India is hosting the BRICS ministerial meeting as chair amid growing expectations that the grouping will play a larger role in shaping an alternative and more inclusive global order.
