NCP (SP) aligning with Ajit Pawar's NCP would be like joining hands with BJP: Sena (UBT) leader Raut
MUMBAI: The NCP (SP) forging an alliance with the Ajit Pawar-led NCP for the Pune Municipal Corporation polls would be akin to joining hands with the BJP, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said on Thursday. Talking to reporters, Raut said he will meet NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar and hold discussions on various issues, including any understanding between the two rival factions for the Pune civic body polls. Having an alliance with Ajit Pawar would be akin to joining hands with the BJP. Ajit Pawar is an agent of the BJP, and any truck with him will mean strengthening the BJP, Raut said in response to a question. The NCP and NCP (SP) have held talks about joining hands for the Pune Municipal Corporation elections. Earlier this week, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had said that the BJP and the NCP won't have an alliance in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad municipal corporations, and there will be a friendly fight between the two Mahayuti allies. Besides the BJP and NCP, the ruling Mahayuti also has the Shiv Sena, led by Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, as a constituent. Raut said Pawar is positive about Uddhav Thackeray's Sena (UBT) and the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena coming together for the civic body polls. He said the NCP (SP) will ally with the Sena (UBT) and MNS in Nashik and Thane. Raut further claimed that Shiv Sena's udget for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls was about Rs 10,000 crore and that the party would give Rs 10 crore to each candidate, but did not provide any details to back the claim. Elections to the 29 municipal corporations in the state will take place on January 15, and the counting will be held a day later.

India slams trade and transit terrorism at UN Security Council
NEW DELHI: India strongly criticised what it termed trade and transit terrorism at a United Nations Security Council session on Wednesday, in a veiled reference to Pakistan, as it urged the international community to safeguard the economic rights of landlocked Afghanistan. Speaking during discussions on the situation in Afghanistan, Indias Ambassador to the UN, P Harish Parvathaneni, flagged concerns raised by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) over recent border closures that have blocked key trade routes and disrupted livelihoods. We note with grave concern the practice of trade and transit terrorism that the people of Afghanistan are being subjected to by the cynical closure of access for a landlocked country whose people have been suffering numerous debilitating conditions for many years, he said, denouncing such actions as violations of WTO norms and the UN Charter. The envoy stressed that unhindered trade and transit are essential for Afghanistans economic recovery, warning that obstructing these channels amounts to economic coercion against a vulnerable landlocked developing country. Parvathaneni also condemned recent cross-border violence, including airstrikes that killed civilians. He said India echoes UNAMAs concern and called for full respect for international law and the protection of innocent populations. Reiterating Indias long-standing backing for peace and regional cooperation, the envoy urged coordinated global action against terrorism and advocated pragmatic engagement with all stakeholders to enable positive political developments in Afghanistan.
