Srinagar-Nalanda Dialogue:LG calls for strengthening Indias soft power, cultural diplomacy
J&Ks heritage guiding light for Viksit Bharat; let us lead with confidence, compassion Srinagar, Jun 20: Our goal is to revive India's great inheritances of knowledge and spirituality, strengthen civilisational traditions, and shape a future-oriented education that connects youth to both the past and modern technology, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Saturday. He said that good governance promotes culturaldialogue and together they shapethe moral, cultural, and human character of asociety, and formulateinclusive policies. Together, the scholars of Jammu Kashmir and Nalanda shaped one of the world's oldest living civilisations. This heritage is our guiding light. The SrinagarNalanda Dialogue is our opportunity to carry that light forward with wisdom, courage, and a new vision for Viksit Bharat, the LG said while delivering the keynote address at the Srinagar-Nalanda Dialogue, organised by the Ministry of Tourism, Department of Culture, J&K, Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA), National School of Drama, and Nava Nalanda Mahavihara University. The Lieutenant Governor called for strengthening India's soft power andpromotion ofcultural diplomacy, stating that centuries ago, India's knowledge unified the globe, and today India can be the bridge the world needs. The world is watching. Let us lead with confidence and compassion, he said. Sinha said that youth have inherited a rich legacy of languages, beliefs, artistic traditions, philosophical schools, and varied ways of life, and that this diversity is our greatest strength. From Bihar to Jammu Kashmir, from the temples of Tamil Nadu to the monasteries of Ladakh, from the ghats of Kashi to the valleys of Kashmir, each region preserves its distinct cultural identity and rhythm of life. Our shared aim should be to weave these diversities into a harmonious unity that enriches the nation's collective consciousness, he said. He observed that Indian civilisation has always been defined by its centres of knowledge, with Nalanda, Takshashila, and Vikramashila serving as hubs of global intellectual exchange, attracting travellers from China, Korea, Java, Persia, and West Asia. Nalanda is a living intellectual cosmos of its time. Likewise, Jammu Kashmir was the unique Sharda Peeth of learning, drawing people from afar for instruction across disciplines from mathematics to music, he said. The LG noted that the host city, Srinagar, was established by Emperor Ashoka, and the dialogue reminds us that the moment has come to renew this tradition as a modern, relevant intellectual project. Ancient towns are living learning centres and cities such as Nalanda, Srinagar, Jammu, Purmandal, Varanasi, Hampi, Sanchi, Madurai, Puri, and Thanjavur carry centuries of experience and knowledge. We must strengthen the role of these towns through infrastructure development, heritage conservation, and platforms like the SrinagarNalanda Dialogue for cultural exchange, the Lieutenant Governor added. The event was attended by Padma Shri Prof Shafi Shauq, Ministry of Tourism Director General Suman Billa, Nava Nalanda Mahavihara University Vice Chancellor Prof. Siddharth Singh, National School of Drama Director Chittaranjan Tripathy, Festival Chairperson D Aaliya, Festival Director Ganga Kumar, Vice Chancellors of Central University of Kashmir and University of Kashmir, SSP Srinagar Dr. G.V. Sundeep Chakravarthy, Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Akshay Labroo, senior officials, literary personalities, prominent citizens, and a large number of youth.

strategic-move-or-panic-reaction-analysing-cpims-response-to-ed-raids-at-pinarayi-vijayans-homes
On April 3, 2025, when the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) received sanction to prosecute Pinarayi Vijayans daughter, Veena T., in an alleged corporate fraud case under Section 447 of the Companies Acta scheduled offence under the PMLAthe entire CPI(M) leadership was in Madurai, attending the partys 24th Congress. Veena and her firm, Exalogic Solutions Pvt Ltd, have been accused of receiving 2.7 crore in allegedly illegal payments from the mining company CMRL, owned by Sasidharan Kartha. As news of the development broke during the party congress, senior CPI(M) leaders found themselves having to defend Vijayan. Echoing the position taken by several Kerala leaders, former general secretary Prakash Karat said the party would address the issue both politically and legally. However, there were reports of differences within the Politburo itself over how to tackle the issue. In fact, Bengal state secretary and Politburo member Md Salim said at a press conference that the decision on whether to pursue legal action rested with the concerned partyin other words, Veena herself. On Wednesday (May 27), as the Enforcement Directorate raided premises linked to CMRL and its subsidiaries, as well as the residences of Veena and Pinarayi Vijayan, the party leadership closed ranks in defence of the former chief minister, portraying the action as an attack on the party itself. The ED maintains that its investigation so far has shown that proceeds of crime were generated by the management of CMRL, led by Kartha and Veena, and that the searches were conducted to collect evidence related to money laundering. According to the ED, intelligence gathered during the investigation indicated that Veena was residing with her father, Pinarayi Vijayan, and therefore, the premises where she was staying were included in the searches. When the search team reached the premises where she was residing, her father [Vijayan] was also present, the ED said in a note issued after the raidssuggesting that, as of now, the case does not directly involve the former chief minister and that the EDs action was focused on Veena. Nevertheless, as the raids began, the CPI(M) state secretariat convened an emergency meeting and later issued a statement alleging that the raid at Vijayans residence was part of a political vendetta. The statement said the party strongly protests the political witch-hunt being carried out by the Enforcement Directorate against CPI(M) Politburo member and Leader of the Opposition, Pinarayi Vijayan. The party has called for statewide protests by its cadres at all levels and has also urged Left Democratic Front (LDF) allies to join the agitation. Notably, an emotionally charged crowd of CPI(M) workers allegedly confronted and attacked ED officials as they were leaving Vijayans rented residence after the raids. Interestingly, there are clear signs that the CPI(M) is strategically using the episode at multiple levels. A key strategy appears to involve directing public anger over the raids primarily against the Congressthe CPI(M)s principal political rival in Keralaand its leaders, Rahul Gandhi and Kerala Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan, even though the ED is a central agency under the BJP-led Union government. Following the raids, Vijayan said that the Enforcement Directorates actions would probably give great satisfaction to certain people, such as Rahul Gandhi. The ED has wanted to conduct searches inside the house for quite some time. It appears that this gives great satisfaction to certain people, especially someone like Rahul Gandhi. Because Rahul Gandhi had asked why Pinarayi Vijayans house was not being raided or why he was not being arrested, he said, while also framing the episode as part of the BJPs calculated attacks against the opposition and its leaders. The Congress position is that the ED can continue targeting parties other than their own. None of this is going to finish us off. We see this only as a beginning. Nobody should imagine that actions of this kind can weaken or break us, Vijayan said. The party state secretariat also adopted a similar line, alleging that the raids were part of an attempt to politically target the former chief minister. It should also be noted that these actions came immediately after CM V. D. Satheesan met the prime minister and union ministers. Similar attacks were carried out in Delhi against Arvind Kejriwal by the BJP and central agencies with Congress support, the state secretariat said. Incidentally, CPI(M) cadres raised anti-ED-Modi-VD slogans in large numbers. Keralas home minister Ramesh Chennithala refuted these allegations and said that not even the home department or police in the state had any idea of the raids. He also dismissed allegations that there was a planned connection between Chief Minister V. D. Satheesans visit to Delhi and the subsequent ED raids. Meeting the prime minister after assuming office as chief minister was an administrative necessity, said the home minister. Chennithala mocked the CPI(M)s allegation that the BJP and Congress were jointly targeting anti-BJP leaders, saying such propaganda was an overreach. Meanwhile, state secretary M. V. Govindan alleged that CMRL itself had stated that two persons who are currently members of the state cabinet received money from the company and had admitted to receiving it. Yet, he claimed, no action had been taken against them. Notably, the allegation stems from the discovery of the initials of certain Kerala political leaders in a diary allegedly maintained by Sasidharan Kartha. Interestingly, the initials PV also appear among them. There are also indications that the party is using this episode to energise cadres whose morale has been low after the partys massive defeat in the parliamentary polls. However, observer K.C. Umesh Babu says what he witnessed was essentially a panic reaction from the CPI(M) leadership. Today, I closely observed the scenes in Kannur and Kozhikode during the raids. In Kannur, the raid took place at what used to be Pinarayis own house. The people who arrived first were all leaders. Senior leaders came there right from the beginning to stage protests beyond the barricades. Only by around noon did they manage, with considerable effort, to bring in ordinary cadres. Earlier, whenever anything happened against CPI(M) leaders, party workers and supporters would react spontaneously. That did not happen this time, he says. The CPI(M) is currently undertaking a rectification drive, in which party cadres and leaders at various levels are being encouraged to speak freely and independently about the issues faced by the party. So far, criticism of Pinarayi Vijayan and the state leadership has reportedly emerged in several district-level discussions. That raises the question of whether this episode could alter the course of the partys course correction exercise itself. Political observer Adv. A. Jayashankar says the issue has surfaced at a time when Pinarayi Vijayans image has weakened even within the party. This episode can now go in two directions, depending on the course of action the party chooses, he says. Jayashankar argues that the party has so far failed to provide a convincing or coherent explanation to its cadres regarding the alleged illicit payments episode. In such a situation, one line of thinking could be that this man has become tainted and should step asidethough he may still be sent off with sympathy and respect, he says. Or the party could turn him into a heroic martyr, saying, We will protect this brave comrade fighting for truth, justice, and righteousness, rally its cadres around him, and attempt a political comeback for comrade Vijayan. By speaking about the goondaism of central agencies, they can stage a display of outrage and political defiance. So far, the party appears to be moving in the second direction. Jayashankar, however, notes that broader public perception is against such moves and that attempts to mobilise cadres around this issue could further damage the partys image. Umesh Babu, meanwhile, adds that until there is clarity on what evidence the ED has actually gathered from different locationsespecially from premises linked to CMRLone cannot arrive at any firm conclusion about how the case will develop further. If the ED has recovered solid evidence from Karthas premises, then CPI(M) could face serious trouble, he says. Right now, even CPI(M) cadres are discussing in party committees how Pinarayis arrogance and authoritarian style led to electoral setbacks. But if tomorrow the ED comes out with very strong evidence in this case, wont the narrative shift for even worse? That is why I think we need to wait before reaching conclusions.
from-mekedatu-to-metro-rail-cm-vijay-raises-key-tamil-nadu-issues-during-his-first-trip-to-delhi
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and discussed a wide range of issues, including the Mekedatu dam issue, the arrest of fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy and the Vande Mataram controversy. The meeting comes barely two weeks after the actor-turned-politician assumed office. The meeting is significant as it is Vijay's maiden official visit to Delhi after becoming the CM. According to a government release, CM Vijay expressed serious concern over Karnataka's announcement of a ground-breaking ceremony for the Mekedatu dam project across the Cauvery River. He pointed out that the move was completely against the final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) and the verdict of the Supreme Court. He said the development has caused concern among Tamil Nadu farmers and urged the PM to direct the Jal Shakti Ministry and the Central Water Commission not to permit the project without the consent of co-basin states, including Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry. CM requested Modi to issue a clear directive allowing the Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu (invocation song) to be sung at the start of government events. During the meeting, Vijay also urged the prime minister to take strong measures to secure the immediate release of Tamil Nadu fishermen and their vessels. According to the Tamil Nadu government, 12 such arrest incidents have taken place in 2026 so far, with 58 fishermen currently in Sri Lankan custody and 266 fishing boats seized. Vijay requested PM Modi to ensure efforts by both the Indian and Sri Lankan governments for the immediate release of the fishermen and their boats. Vijay also sought the establishment of the Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS) in Tamil Nadu. He said discussions had been underway within the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) regarding the setting up of the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) design and development centre and CABS in the state. Vijay also visited Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. A statement from the CM's office said he told the finance minister that Tamil Nadu continues to emerge as a rapidly developing state and stressed that investment in key infrastructure projects is essential to sustain and accelerate this growth. Vijay requested Sitharaman to prioritise financial allocations for sectors crucial to Tamil Nadus development, including highways, railway projects and industrial corridors. The CM also urged the Union government to establish institutes of national importance in Tamil Nadu in order to further strengthen the states educational ecosystem. Further, he sought financial support for metro rail projects aimed at improving public transport infrastructure in Coimbatore and Madurai.
