NEW DELHI: CPM said on Sunday, “As details of Indo-US trade deal slowly emerge, it is becoming evident that BJP-led govt has made sweeping concessions to the US in the so-called interim deal, which poses a serious threat to India’s economy, agriculture, and national sovereignty.” It reiterated its demand that “details of the deal be placed before Parliament and made public”.

NEW DELHI: Indian Army has cleared Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit’s promotion to the rank of Brigadier following his acquittal in Malegaon blast case and his plea before the armed forces tribunal (AFT) that he should not be retired before his request for promotion is reviewed.“The order to promote Col Purohit to the rank of Brigadier came on Thursday,” sources in the armed forces confirmed to TOI.The decision comes weeks after an armed forces tribunal halted Purohit’s scheduled retirement on March 31, 2026, allowing his pending promotion request to be reviewed first. Invoking the jurisdiction of the tribunal under Section 14 of Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007, the applicant had contended that he was denied promotion while facing a long criminal trial after his arrest in 2008. He argued that delay in the judicial process had denied him a fair opportunity for promotion within the Army hierarchy.A bench comprising AFT chairperson Justice Rajendra Menon and administrative member Rasika Chaube passed the order on March 16. It had issued notice to Union govt and other respondents, asking them to explain why directives should not be issued to consider the officer’s case for promotion to rank of Brigadier and grant of all consequential service benefits on a par with his batchmates or subordinates. On the tribunal order, TOI had reported that “Army will examine the judgment and thereafter take action as per policy provisions”.On July 31, Mumbai NIA court had acquitted Purohit and six others in the Malegaon blast case, observing that prosecution had failed to establish the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.Arrested in 2008, Col Purohit remained in custody until 2017, when he was granted bail by the Supreme Court.

New Delhi: Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw, second right, with US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, centre, and others, during an event announcing India joining the Pax Silica initiative, in New Delhi. (PTI Photo) New Delhi: India formally joined Friday Pax Silica – the US flagship AI and supply chain security initiative that is widely perceived as an antidote to China’s influence over critical technologies. Welcoming India, US ambassador Sergio Gor said that the coalition, which comprises some of Washington’s closest allies and trusted partners as members, was about “whether free societies would control the commanding heights of the global economy” and would define the 21st century economic and technological order.MeitY secretary S Krishnan, US undersecretary for economic growth Jacob Helberg and Gor also signed, apart from the Pax Silica Declaration, a supplementary joint statement that said this partnership signalled a new era in which the world’s oldest and largest democracies stood aligned not only in defence of liberty, but in the purposeful pursuit of prosperity and harmony for their peoples.India’s talent deep enough to rival challengers: GorTogether, the two aspire to build an AI future that serves their citizens, strengthens their economies and societies, and refle-cts their shared values of freedom, openness, and the rule of law,” the statement said.Gor’s remarks were more revealing as he said Pax Silica was a coalition of capabilities that replaced coercive dependencies with a positive sum alliance of trusted industrial bases. “India’s entry into Pax Silica isn’t just symbolic, it’s strategic, it’s essential. India is a nation with deep talent, deep enough to rival challengers,” said Gor, who invited India to join the initiative that now has 11 members, on his first day in office last month.For India, Pax Silica is another significant step forward towards the normalisation of the relationship with the US after both sides finalised the framework for an interim trade agreement this month.According to Gor, India brings strength to the coalition as its engineering depth and critical mineral processing capacity offered critical capabilities to the partnership. “Peace doesn’t come from hoping adversaries will play fair. We all know they won’t. Peace comes through strength. India understands this. India understands strong borders. India understands this part of the world. That strength, that sovereignty, is exactly what Pax Silica amplifies,” said the US ambassador, adding discussions with India were on about building supply chains that would not be held hostage.The Pax Silica Declaration seeks efforts to reduce excessive dependencies and forge new connections with reliable partners and suppliers committed to fair market practices, while acknowledging the importance of addressing non-market practices that undermine innovation and fair competition.Welcoming India to “co-found” the future, Gor also said the initiative was about whether innovation happens in Bengaluru and Silicon Valley or in surveillance states that use technology to monitor and control their people. “We choose freedom. We cho-ose partnership. We choose strength. And today, with India’s entry into Pax Silica, we choose to win,” said Gor.The joint statement prioritised economic security, pro-innovation regulation, stronger physical AI stack and free enterprise saying that the two sides shared the belief that a significant risk facing the free world was not advancement of AI, but the failure to lead it.Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stressed that cooperation under Pax Silica would further deepen engagement on critical technologies and supply chain resilience under the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership.”Technology cooperation remains one of the central pillars of the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership. India’s joining the Pax Silica initiative marks a significant step forward in deepening bilateral collaboration in critical and emerging technologies and reinforces shared commitment of both countries to resilient, trusted, and future-ready supply chains,” MEA said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos‘Not Negotiated’: India Explains UN Statement on Israel’s West Bank ExpansionSam Altman Applauds India AI Summit, Calls PM Modi’s Vision InspiringMamata Banerjee vs Election Commission: Supreme Court Orders Judicial Oversight in Bengal SIRIndia Delivers Grim Terror Reminder To Pakistan After Khawaja Asif Alleges Delhi-Kabul Proxy NexusMEA’s Clears India’s Position On Russia Oil After US Envoy Conveys Trump’s Wish On Venezuelan OilHigh Drama At AI Summit Amid Congress’ Shirtless Protests, BJP Calls Party ‘Shameless’ | Headlines@8AI Prodigy Raul John Aju Thrilled After Meeting UN Chief in DelhiBJP Targets Rahul Gandhi Over AI Summit Protest RowBeyond Oil: How India & US Are Securing the Future of AI ChipsCongress Paradox: Tharoor Lauds AI Summit While Youth Stages Shirtless Protest at Venue123PhotostoriesJust one month to go for ‘Dhurandhar 2’ vs ‘Toxic’: Here’s what the big box-office clash promisesHow to make classic Gobhi Matar Pulao for lunchFrom being bullied for making rotis to watching his mother clean gutters; When MasterChef India judge Vikas Khanna spoke about his early struggles13 fermented dishes of India one absolutely needs to tryFrom ‘The Kerala Story’ to ‘Pathaan’: 12 Indian films that faced massive controversy before releaseTop 5 Tier-2 cities in India driving real estate growth in 20265 fascinating facts about Indian hill stations6 animals that have mastered cave life and are rarely seen by humans10 best rated Jackfruit dishes from around the worldWhy is your expensive gold and silver always wrapped in pink paper?
