. How do you see the political and economic ties between India and the Netherlands in the context of what’s happening in the rest of the world?n Ties have always been strong, for example in field of water and agriculture, but also the large companies of the Netherlands that have always been active here in India, like Philips. The recent geopolitical developments give an extra impetus to the importance of our ties. That’s what my visit was also about to see how in specific areas we can do more. We now have a letter of intent in the field of security and defence where we’re looking at more intensive cooperation. We also signed an MoU in the field of semiconductors and modern technologies. We are very like minded countries, we are democracies, we are countries that believe in the international rule of law in free trade and those countries need to stick together. How do you see the India EU FTA strengthening this relationship with the Netherlands and India?n It’s not easy to have a FTA with the EU because you have 27 completely different countries with different economies and different interests. It is in all of our interest to reach an agreement with India on an FTA soon for same reasons I mentioned earlier. We believe in same values, same norms. We are all democracies and we have a lot to offer to each other.Do you see the Netherlands emerging as a major destination for Indian students?n Already there are many Indian students in the Netherlands, and not only students, but also technical students that after their studies found work, in one of our high tech companies like ASML. I heard that there were around 10 cricket clubs now around Eindhoven. That’s testimony to the great relationship that we already have in that field. We also have a very large Indian diaspora in the Netherlands . We are a society where Indians feel at home, where they thrive and contribute to our economy and society.Which are the sectors where cooperation can begin in the near future?n In the field of semiconductors, I visited one of the Dutch companies here, which is called NXP, which is a spin off of Philips and they do design and production of high end mobility chips. They already design most of its high end chips here in India. This company is providing over 3,000 jobs here in India working on the high end of the semiconductor industry. We want to invest more in R&D together, we want to put more effort in talent development. There’s a big wish on the Indian side to also have more in the production facilities of semiconductors. There’s a broader basis that we already can build on with regards to semiconductors.How do you see the situation in Europe in the context of the Ukraine war? Do you expect the war to end soon and what are the implications for the region?n We all want this war to end soon. It’s been going on for almost four years at an incredible cost for Ukraine, but also for Russia. We all hope that we will soon reach a ceasefire and hopefully a durable peace agreement. That’s why Europe is actively engaging in the negotiations that are now ongoing, led by the US and where we see that Ukraine is willing to come to the table and reach a deal and an agreement, and we hope that Moscow will do so too.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosDelhi HC Grants Bail To Kuldeep Sengar; Victim’s Sister Says ‘Put Us In Jail To Keep Us Safe’India Summons Bangladesh High Commissioner Over Violence Against Hindus, Protests Continue”No Cases Filed”: Prachy Accuses Yunus Administration Of Protecting Convicted TerroristsExperts Warn India As Yunus Loses Control In Bangladesh After Hadi Killing Sparks Unrest NationwidePAN-Aadhaar Deadline Nears: How To Link Before December 31 Or Risk Inoperative PAN From Next Year“Neither Janmat Nor Janpath”: Bjp Alleges Growing Rebellion Against Rahul Gandhi Within CongressPak PM Sharif’s Party Leader Threatens India, Warns Missiles Will Respond If Bangladesh Is TargetedIndia’s BrahMos Missile Goes Global As India Closes 0m Defence Pacts With Vietnam And Indonesia’Make Her PM & See…’: Congress MP Endorses Priyanka Gandhi; BJP Takes ‘No Faith In Rahul’ DigHanuman Chalisa Verse Echoes In Delhi As Hindu Lynching In Bangladesh Triggers High Voltage Protests123PhotostoriesBollywood’s tumultuous 2025: Saif Ali Khan’s attack; Deepika Padukone’s exit from ‘Kalki-2898 AD’ to ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ controversySanskrit baby names that means loveViral parenting moments of 2025 and what we can take from themDancing skylights: Why do auroras shine in different magical colours across skies?New seasons releasing on OTT in 2026: From ‘Bridgerton 4’ to ‘Euphoria 3’From Rajat Bedi to Akshaye Khanna: Best Bollywood comebacks of 202510 local Indian Christmas delicacies that are a must try5 latest bridal nath designs to elevate your traditional Indian wedding lookCosmic Fungi explained: The strange radiation-eating organisms found at Chernobyl8 classic Chicken Soups to keep you warm this winter123Hot PicksUAE WeatherPAN-Aadhaar linkingGold price predictionGold rate todaySilver rate todayPublic Holidays DecemberBank Holidays DecemberTop TrendingShane Bieber and Kara Net WorthMLB Trade RumorsMunetaka MurakamiConnor Bedard Net WorthAleksander Barkov GirlfriendAuston MatthewsJake GuentzelDK MetcalfJade Cargill and Brandon Net WorthMax Holloway Net Worth

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee after she walked out of the house of Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) chief Pratik Jain during an ED raid (ANI photo) NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday moved the Supreme Court seeking directions for the registration of an FIR against West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banarjee, the DGP and the Kolkata police commissoner for “obstructing probe, tampering with and destroying evidence in a multi-state money laundering case against I-PAC”.Asserting the requirement for an FIR, the anti-money laundering agency said “protectors of law became party to a serious cognizable offence” as they “intimidated and threatened ED officers and snatched files and electronic evidence containing incriminating material.”The central probe agency also said it had approached the Calcutta high court for the CBI probe into the incident but “the clout enjoyed by the CM and her supproters was used to create a ruckus in the courtroom forcing the judge to adjourn hearing”.The ED on Saturday moved the apex court alleging interference and obstruction by the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government during search operations at the Kolkata headquarters of political consultancy firm Indian Political Action Committee(I-PAC) and the residence of its director Pratik Jain. Later, the state government filed a caveat seeking to be heard before any adverse order is passed.The Bengal government’s caveat was filed after the ED carried out searches on Thursday at I-PAC’s office and Jain’s residence as part of a money laundering probe linked to an alleged multi-crore rupee coal pilferage scam. A caveat allows a party to ensure that no order is issued without giving it an opportunity to present its case.The ED has alleged that chief minister Mamata Banerjee entered the raid locations and took away what it described as “key” evidence, including physical documents and electronic devices. Banerjee has rejected the allegations and accused the central agency of overreach.The entire controversy erupted after CM Mamata Banerjee rushed to the house of I-PAC director Pratik Jain amid the raid and accused the Centre of holding political vendetta, alleging that central agencies were being misused ahead of elections.Reacting sharply to the action, Banerjee questioned the role of the ED and Union home minister Amit Shah. She claimed that party documents and data were being seized under the pretext of investigations. She also alleged that voter names were being deleted in West Bengal during the ongoing Special Intensive Revision exercise, linking the moves to the election process.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: Mahagathbandhan chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday said that his government will transfer Rs 30,000 to women if they are voted to power in the upcoming assembly elections.”After we form the Government, on Makar Sankranti – 14th January, we will deposit Rs 30,000 for an entire year into the accounts of women under ‘Mai Bahin Maan Yojana’..” Tejashwi said while addressing a press conference on the last day of campaigning for the first phase of the elections.‘Bihar Got Not Even 1% of Gujarat’s Share’: Tejashwi Yadav Explodes at PM Modi”We spoke to women about the ‘Mai Bahin Maan Yojana’, and they are very excited about it,” he added.With Mai Bahin Yojana, Tejashwi joins a growing list of similar welfare schemes launched by govts ahead of assembly elections. These include Madhya Pradesh’s ‘Ladli Behena Yojana’, Maharashtra’s ‘Ladli Bahin Yojana’, and Jharkhand’s ‘Maiya Samman Yojana’, introduced by their respective CMs.Under this scheme, eligible women in Bihar will get Rs 2,500 every month directly deposited into their bank accounts starting December 1 and Rs 30,000 per year for the next five years.Tejashwi, however, said they will transfer Rs 30,000 on January 14 itself on the “demands of the mothers and sisters” of Bihar.RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav also annunced that farmers would be given Rs 300 per quintal of paddy and Rs 400 for wheat as a bonus over MSP.Tejashwi said heads of all Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) and Primary Marketing Cooperative Societies (Vyapar Mandals) will also be given the status of ‘people’s representatives’ in the state.“All farmers will be given Rs 300 per quintal of paddy and Rs 400 for wheat as a bonus over the Minimum Support Price (MSP), if the INDIA bloc comes to power,” Yadav said.”Besides, we are also planning to give honorarium to managers of registered 8,400 vyapar mandals and PACS in the state, if we form the government,” he said.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

PM Narendra Modi (PTI image) NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday sharpened the BJP’s campaign pitch in poll-bound West Bengal, focusing on issues of infiltration, citizenship and alleged corruption under the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government.Addressing a public rally in Katwa in Purba Bardhaman district, PM Modi promised that the process of granting citizenship under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) would be expedited for eligible refugee families if the BJP comes to power in the state.In total, PM Modi addressed three rallies in poll-bound state. He conducted poll rallies in Katwa, Jangipur and Murshidabad. In a separate rally in Jangipur, PM Modi said: “From Sandeshkhali to RG Kar, this (TMC) ruthless government stood up to protect rapists. Bengal does not forget this. The era of fear will end.”He specifically reached out to the Matua and Namasudra communities, who form a significant electoral base in several districts of South Bengal.“I want to tell the Matua and Namasudra refugee families that they are under the protection of the country’s Constitution. Modi enacted the CAA law so that Matua, Namasudra, and all refugees get citizenship,” the Prime Minister said.He further added that a BJP government would accelerate the citizenship process for all eligible applicants under the CAA.“After the BJP government is formed, the process of granting citizenship under CAA will be accelerated for all eligible applicants,” he said.Stepping up his attack on alleged illegal immigration, PM Modi said ‘infiltrators’ would have to leave the state if the BJP comes to power.“The infiltrators should start packing their bags; it is time to leave. Those who have helped the infiltrators will not be spared,” he said.The Prime Minister also launched a sharp attack on the ruling TMC, alleging that its 15-year rule had created an atmosphere of fear in the state.“The 15-year rule of the TMC has given nothing but fear to every citizen, every family of Bengal,” he said.He added that the upcoming election was aimed at removing that atmosphere and bringing in what he called a “Bengal free of fear”.“This election is to eradicate the TMC’s fear. Such a change would be the first step towards building a developed Bengal.”PM Modi also intensified his allegations against the TMC over corruption, promising strict action if the BJP comes to power.He said a BJP government would release a “white paper” detailing alleged corruption under the current regime and ensure accountability.“BJP will bring a white paper to ensure a legal accounting of corruption involving TMC’s MLAs, ministers, and syndicates,” he said.During the rally, PM Modi also shared a video clip of him claiming a strong public turnout. He said that large crowds had gathered even at the helipad before the start of his programme.He also accused the TMC of spreading misinformation about BJP schemes and said his party would not discontinue welfare benefits but remove corruption and middlemen from their implementation.“BJP won’t stop anything. BJP will only shut down the shop of corruption,” he said.In an effort to reach out to women voters, PM Modi announced a monthly financial support scheme.“BJP has announced Rs 3,000 per month for women,” he said, adding that the party was committed to strengthening welfare delivery.He also claimed growing public support for the BJP in West Bengal, saying high voter participation and enthusiasm, especially among women, indicated a strong mandate in the party’s favour.The rallies come ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections scheduled in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with counting set for May 4.In a separate rally in Murshidabad, PM Modi said that his party is working to implement the UCC in West Bengal. “The security of the nation is paramount to us. The BJP is resolved to implement the UCC (Uniform Civil Code) in Bengal and put an end to the politics of appeasement once and for all,” he said. The 2021 elections saw the TMC return to power with a strong majority, while the BJP emerged as the principal opposition with 77 seats.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Photo by A M Shudhagar NAMAKKAL/TRICHY: Egg exports from Namakkal came to a halt amid the ongoing Israel-Iran war, with exporters estimating a total loss of around Rs 5 crore daily.Namakkal, one of India’s major egg production and trading hubs, regularly supplies large quantities to overseas buyers. But the Middle East conflict has left exporters struggling to meet commitments and manage inventory. PM Modi Steps Up Gulf Diplomacy Amid US Iran War, India Warns Of Serious Consequences On Economy Exporters said exports to the Gulf countries, including the UAE, Oman and Qatar, stopped. “The closure of seaports and restrictions in airspace have interrupted normal cargo movement and blocked logistics routes,” Dr PV Senthil, a Namakkal-based egg exporter and the general secretary of the Livestock and Agri Farmers Trade Association, told TOI.

The National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC), the egg rate fixation committee, on Tuesday fixed the rate at Rs 4.30 per egg. A senior official of the NECC said the demand for eggs came down after the state govt stopped procuring eggs for the school noon-meal scheme as annual exams started. A huge volume of eggs were stocked in poultry farms, he added.K Selvaraj, a poultry farmer, alleged that egg traders were fishing in troubled waters. He said traders were asking poultry farmers to sell eggs at 80 paise less than the NECC rate. “The poultry farmers are forced to sell an egg for Rs 3.50 to avoid huge losses. The production cost for an egg stands at Rs 4.50,” he said.Exporters urged the central govt to intervene immediately. They requested the govt to take up the issue through diplomatic channels with the US, Israel and Iran to facilitate safe passage for ships carrying essential commodities.Vegetable exports affectedThe Middle East conflict has affected vegetable and fruit exporters in Trichy. As flights to Middle East from Trichy international airport was cancelled for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, dozens of exporters in the region are in a fix to move their consignments to the UAE and Qatar.On average, the Trichy airport handles 600 MT of freight every month, averaging around 20 MT per day. Most of the exports, vegetable, fruits, and flowers are flown to Singapore, while a sizable portion of exporters equally focuses on the Middle East region, mostly to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah destinations targeting the Indian diaspora. “Exports to Singapore are continuing, but UAE-bound exports are affected, so do the exports to the European market with Dubai as a transit.
