Congress Says Removal Of Alok Verma Has Prompted Opposition Parties to Unite Against Modi Govt in CBI fraud

Communist Party of India's Rajya Sabha MP D. Raja, left, speaks with Congress party president Rahul Gandhi during the protest march towards the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) headquarters in New Delhi.

NEW DELHIOn Friday morning, as Congress party leaders walked from Lodhi Road to the CBI headquarters in New Delhi to protest the government's perceived interference with the country's premier investigative agency, they were joined by Trinamool Congress's (TMC) Rajya Sabha MP Md. Nadimul Haque, Communist Party of India's (CPI) Rajya Sabha MP D Raja and former Rajya Sabha MP Sharad Yadav.

"Opposition parties are coming together on this issue," said Rajeev Gowda Rajya Sabha MP and Chairman of the Congress' research department, in an interview with HuffPost India after the protest.
When asked what prompted him to participate in the Congress party's march, TMC MP Haque confirmed Gowda's statement. "My party sent me as a mark of solidarity with the issue. I got a call from the party spokesperson yesterday to go and represent the TMC at this march," he said. When asked if, in the near future, there will unanimity between the Congress party and the TMC on this issue, he said, "Yes, definitely."


As the biggest opposition party, the Congress was out on the streets in several cities in protest more than a week after indications resurfaced about corruption within the CBI.
The presence of other opposition party members, Congressmen believe, shows the CBI director's removal has helped add to the small but steadily growing list of issues around which the thus far elusive unity of opposition parties against the Narendra Modi-led government could be built.
This is significant for the state of play in the national politics because, in the recent past, the assembly state election campaigns have revealed just how brittle opposition unity is at present. The decision of Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati as well as Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav to go it alone in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh elections proved that a united electoral alliance appears to be easier said than done.

Therefore, issues around which the opposition finds a common ground reflect a potential space for a united national opposition against the incumbent regime. Several Congress and non-Congress leaders who participated in Friday's protest march told HuffPost India that the sacking of CBI director has created space for the opposition to come together against the government. Apart from Friday's protest, it appears the parties are now planning to petition the president seeking his intervention in the matter.

CPI's Rajya Sabha MP D Raja said, this was one of a significant number of other recent issues around which opposition parties have been coming together and will continue to do so. The momentum on this joint opposition protest will remain, in the forthcoming days, he said and "we will together approach the president with a memorandum as soon as he gives time."
Other issues that he referred to regarding opposition unity include the Rafale deal, which is being referred to as a scam, Non-performing assets of public sector banks etc.

The brave little raccoon which can climb up building, leap off, and survive

In Ocean City, New Jersey Friday, a raccoon was spotted a jaw-dropping nine stories up a building. The raccoon proceeded to leap off the building, hit the soft sand with its little raccoon feet, and scamper away.

This isn't the first time a raccoon has been spotted climbing a tall building. In June, a raccoon climbed to the top of a 25-story skyscraper. It was then captured and released safely into the wild.
Where I'm from, raccoons were known for digging into the good trash at McDonald's and giving kids rabies. I'm so glad people get to see the other, better, braver side of raccoons.

BREXIT : Everything that you should know


<![endif]-->BREXIT

 UK voted to leave EU in a referendum held in June 2016. The “leave” side prevailed 52 percent to 48 percent, which had a turnout of 72 percent. Out of 12 regions, only three, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and London voted to remain in the EU, while the others led the “Leave” vote to win by a narrow margin.

• The UK is the first major country to decide to leave the bloc, which evolved from the ashes of the Second World War as the region’s leaders sought to build links and avert future hostility. The Conservative Party's general election victory last year activated a manifesto pledge to hold a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union by the end of 2017.
• Britain joined the European Community in 1973. This was the second referendum on Britain’s relationship with the European integration project. Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson had the first referendum on Britain’s membership in 1975 in which 66% people voted to stay in the European Community.
Arguments in favour
1) The EU threatens British sovereignty, is the most common argument. A series of EU treaties have shifted a growing amount of power from individual member states to the central EU bureaucracy in Brussels: On subjects where the EU has been granted authority – like competition policy, agriculture, and copyright and patent law – EU rules override national laws. The EU’s executive branch, called the European Commission, is not directly accountable to voters in Britain or anyone else.
2) EU is strangling UK in burdensome regulations. EU’s regulations have become increasingly onerous. Some EU rules sound simply strange, like the rule that one cannot recycle a teabag, or that children under eight cannot blow up balloons, or the limits on the power of vacuum cleaners.
3) The EU allows too many immigrants which puts severe strain on national resources and add up to welfare expenditure. The emotional case for Brexit is heavily influenced by immigration. The flood of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe has depressed the wages of native-born British workers and concerns about immigrants using scarce public services.
4) UK will save huge sums of money which it otherwise contributes to the EU budget. Taxpayers would get an immediate saving of over £20 million a day. British farmers, fishermen and small businesses would all be free from ruinous Brussels policies.
5) UK could pursue independent and beneficial economic and trade policies: The UK economy would thrive like Norway or Switzerland. Britain could negotiate its own trade deals with the likes of China, the United States and Russia on terms tailor-made to suit the national interest. Trade with the EU countries would continue – it will be in their interests to maintain Britain’s access to the European free market
6) EU was a good idea, but Euro is a big disaster. The 2008 global recession was much worse in countries that had adopted Europe’s common currency, the euro. Though the UK chose not to join the common currency, deeper fiscal and political integration will be needed for the eurozone to work properly. Britain is unlikely to go along with it.

Arguments Against
1) Safety first: In an uncertain world where Western democracies are under threat from a resurgent Russia, unrest around the Middle East, terrorism, and nuclear rogue states, Britain is safer and stronger working with France, Germany and the others within the EU on diplomacy, development and building democracy around the world. It helps the fight against international crime through Europol and the European arrest warrant.
2) Better together: Outside the EU, Britain would lose global clout. Europe is one of the four major players on the world scene. As the world’s biggest economic bloc, the EU’s leverage is unmatched in global talks on climate change and WTO issues etc.
3) Useful EU regulations: EU regulations guarantee safety standards on everything from food and toys to nuclear power plants. Its environmental protection is the highest in the world. Brussels’ anti-trust authorities protect consumers against abuses by multinational companies.
4) Sound economic rationale: Over half Britain’s trade goes to the EU, bringing the country around £400 billion a year. That dwarfs any savings from not contributing to the EU budget. Over one-in-ten British jobs are directly linked to EU membership and studies show Brexit could wipe up to 10 percent from UK GDP. International companies invest in Britain because it’s a gateway to the EU’s 500 million consumers. Even if a post-Brexit UK persuaded former partners to grant it Norway-style access to the EU market, it would have to accept EU rules without any say in shaping them.
5) On Migration: In no way will leaving the EU stop immigration to the UK. EU immigration is a great asset to the UK economy, and people from EU countries pay a lot more in taxes than they receive as benefits.
6) In the event of a Brexit, the economic downturn that will follow will make Britain a far less attractive country compared to other parts of Europe. Also it will bring the migration crisis to Britain’s doorstep.
Process of BREXIT
• For the UK to leave the EU it has to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which gives the two sides two years to agree the terms of the split.
• The government will also enact a Great Repeal Bill which will end the primacy of EU law in the UK. It will incorporate EU legislation into UK law, after which the government will decide which parts to keep, change or retain.
• EU law still stands in the UK until it ceases being a member. The UK will continue to abide by EU treaties and laws, but not take part in any decision-making.
• The post-Brexit trade deal is likely to be the most complex part of the negotiation because it needs the unanimous approval of more than 30 national and regional parliaments across Europe, some of whom may want to hold referendums.

Impact of BREXIT on UK
Political Impact
1) British PM David Cameroon had to resign after shock results in referendum and was succeeded by Theresa May.
2) The divisive nature of Brexit referendum has the potential to threaten the territorial integrity of UK. Scotland and Ireland voted to remain in EU. Scotland's termed forced Brexit as democratically unacceptable and calls have been increasing for second independence referendum from UK. Northern Ireland politicians have termed the impact of Brexit would be very profound and that the whole region of Northern Ireland may want to vote on reunification with Ireland.
3) Racist or religious abuse incidents recorded by police in England and Wales jumped 41% in the month after the UK voted to quit the EU.
4) Quitting the EU will not exempt the UK from the decisions of The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg as it is not a European Union institution. For it, the UK government has to repeal the Human Rights Act which requires UK courts to treat the ECHR as setting legal precedents for the UK.

Economic Impact
1) The UK economy appears to have weathered the initial shock of the Brexit vote, although the value of the pound remains near a 30-year low. Britain also lost its top AAA credit rating, meaning the cost of government borrowing will be higher.
2) With Brexit, fears have been raised that London may lose its prominence place as financial Hub in Europe in the long run.
3) The complex exit negotiations with EU may accentuate economic uncertainty at least for two year which may hamper economic recovery and there are chances of investments moving from Britain to other EU countries due to higher perceived economic benefits there.
4) As far as UK citizens working in the EU are concerned, a lot depends on the kind of deal the UK agrees with the EU. If it remains within the single market, it would almost certainly retain free movement rights, allowing UK citizens to work in the EU and vice versa. If the government opted to impose work permit restrictions, then other countries could reciprocate, meaning Britons would have to apply for visas to work.
5) EU nationals living in UK with a right to permanent residence, which is granted after they have lived in the UK for five years, will be be able to stay. The rights of other EU nationals would be subject to negotiations on Brexit and the will of Parliament.

IMPACT on EU
Political Impact
1) Brexit will weaken those forces in the EU that favour greater integration and may trigger chain reactions of referendums being pushed by Eurosceptics especially in Netherland and France. It may also strengthen far right and anti-establishment parties throughout Europe at the cost of European unity.
2) Britain’s exit will reduce political clout of EU in world Affairs because of loosing UK - a permanent member of United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
3) Britain is the EU’s foremost military power and also brings to the EU its significant diplomatic network, intelligence capabilities and soft power. Brexit could therefore undermine any future development of serious EU military capabilities.
4) The EU would lose an influential, liberalising member, shifting the balance of power in the European Council. It would become harder to block illiberal measures.
5) EU policy-makers, already overburdened with problems like the Greek economy, instability in the European neighbourhood and influxes of refugees, must now find extra energy to handle the complexities of the Brexit talks, which may drag on for five years or longer.
6) It will also make Germany even more preponderant in EU. In recent years both France’s weakness and the UK’s semi-detached status have made Germany the dominant country in the EU. On issues such as the eurozone crisis, refugees and the war in Ukraine, Germany has determined the EU’s response.

Economic Impact
1) Brexit may adversely impact Europe’s fragile growth. Rapid depreciation of already weakened Euro will impact competitiveness of EU market.
2) It may weaken economic muscle of EU as the UK is the fifth largest economy in the world and the second largest in the EU. Its net contribution to the EU budget was around £8.5bn in 2015, which EU stands to lose.

3) Some research studies have predicted a symmetric decline in exports to and imports from the UK would lead to reduction of EU’s GDP. Subsequently, trade growth would likely be lower than otherwise, increasing the potential losses over time. The damage would be a bit more severe in the manufacturing hubs in central and Eastern Europe as well as in the tourism hotspots in the Mediterranean.
4) Moreover, there would likely be a new regulatory dynamic with the UK outside the EU. The UK may seek to undercut the EU on standards impacting on the business environment; but this in turn may create a healthy regulatory competition by putting pressure on the EU from the outside to be more liberal in its policies.
5) The Brexit impact on the rest of the EU via trade and finance will also depend on the follow-on agreement between it and the UK. A number of models exist: Norway’s, Iceland’s, and Liechtenstein’s European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland’s European Free Trade Area (EFTA) agreement or A Turkish-style customs union or Free trade agreements such as those with Mexico or South Korea. The extension of such agreements to the UK may face political obstacles, but at least the economic damage could be minimised.
• So in the final analysis, The economic and financial frictions could be limited if both parties would try to strike an amicable separation agreement, but political considerations, including the desire of the rest of the EU to prevent Brexit emulation, might result in a far more damaging outcome for both.
IMPACT of BREXIT on India
• Brexit affects the rupee through both trade and the financial channels. The UK and European Union account for 23.7% of the rupee’s effective exchange rate. The UK’s exit could lead to a prolonged period of risk aversion in the equity markets which could spark foreign portfolio investor outflows and add to the rupee’s weakness.
• India is the third largest source of FDI to the UK .Access to European markets is therefore a key driver for Indian companies coming to the UK. But with Brexit, this benefit will be taken away and may result in companies relocating their business set ups to other places. So may have a bearing on future investment decisions.
• Hence, Indian investment pattern in EU might change as Indian companies favoured border free access to EU, which will not remain available after Brexit.
• Automobile, Pharma and IT might be the most affected. NASSCOM has predicted that the effect of Brexit will be felt on the $108 Billion Indian IT sector in the short term. Leading Indian IT firms foresee a possibility of renegotiations for all the ongoing IT projects because of the devaluation in the value of pound.
• In the automobile industry, Brexit may lead to reduction in sales and companies that derive good revenues of profits from Britain could get hurt majorly. India's pharmaceutical sector has significant exposure to the UK and a drop in demand in the UK and the EU will impact profits and sales.
• There are many unanswered questions regarding Brexit – Whether the Brexit will change the rules of doing business or the rules related to access to higher education.
• However for some experts, in the long run, Brexit will help strengthen our ties with Britain because India's focus on innovation and entrepreneurship still makes it an attractive destination for outsourcing and investment. Brexit means redrafting of India-EU FTA text.
• EU was considered as biggest obstacle to U.K – India trade. Last year, Indian mango shipment to U.K. were banned due to stringent EU regulations. Brexit might lead to realisation of trade potential between these two countries.

Effect on Education sector/students & Travel:
• British universities were forced to offer scholarships and subsidies to the citizens of the UK and EU. Brexit frees up funds for the other students and more Indian students might be able to get scholarships. Reduction in pound value will reduce travelling cost to the UK and will make it a good travel destination.

During the visit of Indian PM to UK in November 2015, the following announcements relating to education were made:
·         2016 would be the UK-India year of Education, Research and Innovation.

• For Indian students UK has traditionally been a favourite destination. Management, computing, engineering, media studies, art and design are the preferred courses of the Indian students. At present, there are approximately 20,000 Indian students pursuing Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses in the UK.
• Global Initiative of Academic Network (GIAN) is a new network in Higher Education in India aimed at tapping the talent pool of eminent scientists and academicians, internationally to encourage their engagement with the Institutes of Higher Education in India.UK has committed to send 100 academicians to India over the next two academic years as part of the GIAN.

Cultural Relations
• Cultural linkages between India and UK are deep and extensive, arising out of shared history between the two countries. There has been a gradual mainstreaming of Indian culture and absorption of Indian cuisine, cinema, languages, religion, philosophy, performing arts, etc.
• The Nehru Centre is the cultural wing of the High Commission of India in UK which was established in 1992, and is currently one of ICCR’s flagship cultural centres abroad.
• A Memorandum of Understanding on Cultural Cooperation was signed between India and the UK in 2014.
• On the 70th anniversary of Indian Independence (2017), UK-India Year of Culture will be organised in 2017 to celebrate our deep cultural ties and mark.

Indian Diaspora

• The India Diaspora in UK is one of the largest ethnic minority communities in the country, with the 2011 census recording approximately 1.5 million people of Indian origin in the UK equating to almost 1.8 percent of the population and contributing 6% of the country’s GDP.
