PM Modi Embarks on a Two Day Visit to Poland: Reviving Ties and Addressing Geopolitical Shifts

August 21, 2024, 10:22 am

Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarks on a two day visit to Poland for two days starting Wednesday (August 21), marking the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister in over forty years. After Poland, he will travel to Ukraine. This trip is particularly significant given the current geopolitical tensions.

India and Poland have a long history of friendly relations, dating back to the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1954. Both nations share a common stance against colonialism, imperialism, and racism, as noted by the Indian Embassy in Warsaw.

Historically, during World War II, Indian Maharajas provided refuge to Polish refugees. The Maharaja of Jamnagar (now Jamnagar, Gujarat) sheltered over 1,000 Polish refugees, mainly children, in a place called Balachadi. Similarly, a Polish refugee camp was established in Valivade, Kolhapur (now in Maharashtra) under the rule of Bhosale Chatrapati.

After the fall of Communism, Poland shifted its focus towards strengthening ties with the United States, which led to a decline in relations with India. Despite this, Poland has remained India’s largest trading and investment partner in Central and Eastern Europe, with bilateral trade increasing from $1.95 billion in 2013 to $5.72 billion in 2023. Additionally, around 10,000 to 15,000 Indians live and work in Poland across various sectors.

Modi’s visit to Poland is noteworthy as he is the first Indian Prime Minister to visit since Morarji Desai in 1979, and before him, Jawaharlal Nehru in 1955 and Indira Gandhi in 1967. During his visit, Modi will meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw to discuss defense collaboration, trade, and strategic alignment. He will also engage with the Indian community in Poland and visit memorials dedicated to the Maharajas of Jamnagar and Kolhapur. Additionally, Modi is expected to visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the memorial for the Battle of Monte Cassino, where Indian and Polish soldiers fought together during World War II.

This visit is particularly relevant in the context of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. India, maintaining a neutral stance in the conflict and emphasizing diplomacy and dialogue, has not criticized Russia despite its close ties with Moscow. Poland, a strong supporter of Ukraine and a NATO member, is increasing its defense spending, which aligns with India’s interest in enhancing military collaboration. Modi’s visit is expected to strengthen the bilateral relationship between India and Poland and potentially elevate their ties to a new level.

Ajit Pawar and others visit Sharad Pawar, propose to keep party united

July 17, 2023, 4:29 pm

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar visited his uncle and the head of the Nationalist Congress Party, Sharad Pawar, a day earlier to seek his blessing. He once again visited the party chief along with several loyal NCP MLAs on Sunday.

A close aide of senior Pawar Praful Patel, who rebelled along with his nephew to join the BJP-Eknath Shinde government in Maharashtra, said numerous NCP cabinet ministers were absent during the surprise visit because it was Sunday.

“They met Sharad Pawar today after the Assembly session, and he patiently listened to us,” he claimed.

The rebel camp claimed that during their meeting with Sharad Pawar yesterday, they had asked the senior leader to prevent party division.

However, “Sharad Pawar remained tight-lipped on this matter; he just listened to us, and after meeting him, we left the scene,” NCP’s Praful Patel said.

As per the reports, the NCP supremo made it clear later in the day that his ‘progressive politics’ will continue and he will never ally with the BJP.

The 82-year-old leader has been considered a leading player in uniting and bringing various political parties on one platform against the ruling BJP ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

A split in the NCP took place earlier this month when Ajit Pawar left the Opposition ranks and took oath as the Deputy CM of Maharashtra.

Incidentally, Ajit Pawar has more support from NCP MLAs than Sharad Pawar, who also visited his house last month to meet his aunt Pratibha Pawar, who recently underwent surgery.

Rahul Gandhi reschedules USA visit, now to fly on May 28

May 19, 2023, 12:46 pm

Congressman Rahul Gandhi, who was due to go for a 10-day trip to the United States on May 31, has postponed his trip and will instead leave on May 28, according to sources.
On May 29 and 30, Rahul Gandhi will attend a programme at Stanford University and interact with Indian expatriates. He had originally planned to travel to the United States for ten days starting on May 31.

Following his comments at Cambridge University that were critical of the administration and illuminated Indian democracy, Rahul Gandhi dominated the news as he travelled back to India from London.
Rahul Gandhi gave three speeches in March 2023: one at Cambridge University, one at a meeting the Association of Journalists hosted in London, and one at the Chatham House think tank.

“Everyone is aware that the Indian democracy is under threat and under attack, and this has been reported frequently in the news. Rahul Gandhi stated at Cambridge University in the UK, “I am an Opposition leader in India, and we are navigating that (Opposition) area.
“The institutional framework needed for a democratic Parliament, free press, and judiciary, as well as just the concept of mobilisation and movement, is becoming limited. Therefore, the fundamental foundation of Indian democracy is under attack, he had stressed.
The governing BJP called for Gandhi to apologise after the statements made by the Congress MP provided more fodder.

He made a number of statements in the UK that sparked debate in India. JP Nadda, the party’s leader, increased the BJP’s criticism of Rahul Gandhi by saying that he is a “permanent part of the anti-India toolkit.”
The former Wayanad MP was asked to apologise by the BJP leader.
Parliament’s Budget session came to a standstill during its second phase. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is in power, demanded that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi retract comments he made about Indian democracy in London. The Congress, on the other hand, insisted on the formation of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to look into claims of shady financial dealings and unethical business practises against the Adani Group of companies. After being found guilty of slander on April 11, Gandhi was removed from his seat as a member of parliament. He was disqualified in accordance with Section 8 of the 1951 Representation of People Act and Article 102(1)(e) of the Indian Constitution.

PT Usha meets with protesting wrestlers at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar

May 3, 2023, 1:13 pm

On Wednesday, PT Usha, the president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), met with wrestlers who had been holding a sit-in protest calling for the dismissal of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the head of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), who is accused of sexual harassment.

Usha had previously stated on April 27 that the wrestlers should have contacted the IOA rather than protesting in the streets against the WFI and its president, whom the wrestlers accused of sexual harassment and athlete mismanagement.

“Indian Olympic Association (IOA) is having a committee for sexual harassment, instead of going to the streets they (protesting wrestlers) could have come to us earlier but they did not come to IOA. It is not good for sports not only for wrestlers, they should also have some discipline,” the IOA president had told mediapersons earlier.
Wrestlers had expressed their disappointment at her remarks.
“Being a woman athlete, she (PT Usha) is not listening to other women athletes. We have followed her since childhood and got inspired by her. Where is indiscipline here, we are sitting here peacefully,” Sakshee Malikkh told mediapersons.
Vinesh Phogat, a CWG and World Championships medalist also termed Usha’s comments as “insensitive”.

“We live as per the constitution and are independent citizens. We can go anywhere. If we are sitting out in the streets, there must be some reason, a reason that nobody listened to us, be it IOA or Sports Ministry. Her saying this is insensitive. I even called her, but she did not pick up my phone,” said Vinesh.
Olympic medalist Bajrang Punia said, “You feel sad when she says these things because she is the IOA Chief and a woman herself, she cried for her academy in front of the media. She wants us to approach IOA, but we went there three months back, but no justice was given.”

Three months ago prominent wrestlers came forward to lead a protest against WFI Chief, the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports announced the formation of an ‘oversight committee’ to probe allegations levelled against the WFI and its chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and other coaches.The committee was tasked with submitting a report on the issue to the ministry. The wrestlers launched a fresh protest in April.

On April 30, Delhi Police registered two FIRs against WFI president Singh over allegations of sexual harassment and exploitation of female wrestlers by him. Top Indian grapplers such as Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, and many other wrestlers are involved in the protest against the WFI chief.

PM Modi : Congress’ warranty has expired, party not in state to give any guarantee in Karnataka

April 27, 2023, 4:53 pm

On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly criticised the “guarantees” made by the Congress if it were elected to power in Karnataka. He claimed that the party’s “warranty” had expired and that it was no longer in a position to make any guarantees.

“I urge the youth that those who try to fool you by distributing freebies, you should think about your bright future and the future of your generations.,” he said. Referring to the condition of people in Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan where Congress is in power, the Prime Minister stated the people are still awaiting for the fulfilment of the party’s promises in Congress-ruled states.

“The people of Himachal and Rajasthan are waiting for Congress to fulfil its guarantees. Congress means a guarantee of lies, Congress means a guarantee of corruption. Congress means a guarantee of the dynasty. Congress is in that state where they cannot give any guarantee. And their warranty has also expired…” he said.
Notably, Congress has guaranteed to provide Rs 2,000 per month to the female heads of all families in Karnataka if the party is voted to power. It has also guaranteed 200 units of free electricity to all households.

The Prime Minister also slammed the freebie culture in politics and said that some political parties are resorting to this method to gain power.

“Some political parties have made politics a medium of power and corruption. They are resorting to any method to gain power. They do not care about the country’s future, future generations, and the people of Karnataka. Due to freebie politics, many states are spending so much for their political points, they are getting drowned in debt. The country and the government do not run like this,” he said..

Adding to it, Modi said “The government has to think about the future along with the present. The BJP is not working on shortcuts but on the making of a developed India. We do not think for the five years (of governance) but we think for the country. Every possible help is being given to the poor families to tackle the immediate challenges,”.
