On the contrary, the US continues to issue orders. A sovereign nation would never tolerate such language. But our ‘compromised PM’? Silent. He listens like an obedient servant and complies with the orders.”Congress said India should put off the upcoming visit of US trade representatives in view of the killings of seafarers and Rubio’s “threatening language” with Jaishankar.Party president Mallikarjun Kharge slammed the PM for his “silence” over the killings. “And you have the audacity to sugarcoat it with the ‘Vishwaguru’ narrative. India used to be a ‘Vishwaguru’ when it maintained its strategic autonomy and followed the policy of non-alignment. The world listened to us when all previous govts followed this consistent policy of not surrendering,” he said.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Keeping this in mind, Congress is learnt to have started its preparations, while the ruling AAP has already kickstarted its campaign.Congress sources said the Punjab unit has held discussions on Nov polls, while AICC is also aware of it. The primary reason for the polls being advanced is said to be the Kumbh Mela starting on Jan 14 in Uttarakhand and the second phase of national census kicking off around the same time. Fear of the two events impacting the poll timing has forced the party to move ahead with a curtailed time frame for the preparations, lest it be caught wanting in its efforts. The AICC’s decision to constitute a committee under Ajay Maken late Thursday night for a report on the Punjab Congress unit is said to be dictated by urgency for quick changes in the state organisation as needed.AAP is preparing for a scenario of Nov polls, and BJP is also active on Punjab front.Further, there is speculation in Congress whether Uttarakhand polls will also be brought forward. Both states are to go to the polls along with UP in Feb-Mar 2027.Given the all-round activity, Punjab is set to become the next big battleground in national political calendar, with a strong three-cornered contest in the offing.AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal is keen to retain Punjab after the party’s ouster from its other stronghold, Delhi, while Congress is desperate to win back the state to add to perception of its political recovery after the victory in Kerala. Congress is especially keen to defeat AAP to simplify political equations in public perception as well as opposition’s collective calculations, as many INDIA bloc partners have sympathies with Kejriwal.As for BJP, it is making a serious charge to spread its wings in a state where it is at best a marginal force.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Adoption of an innovation roadmap to deepen cooperation in critical and emerging technology, launch of an economic security dialogue, another working group for AI governance and a declaration to double bilateral trade in the next five years were among the 13 outcomes announced after the meeting.Both sides also looked to ramp up defence cooperation, consistent with India’s Make in India initiative. PM Modi and Macron focused on civil nuclear cooperation too, one of the central pillars of the partnership, taking note of India’s SHANTI Act that is expected to open up opportunities, including on small and advanced modular reactors. “The field is open for French nuclear companies to start looking at direct participation in the Indian nuclear sector or do so in participation with Indian private sector companies, whether in conventional nuclear power reactors or in more advanced small modular reactors,” said foreign secretary Vikram Misri, after the meet.Talent and student mobility part of talksOn defence cooperation, Modi underlined the significance of co-development, co-design, co-production and co-manufacturing. “The underlying theme was that whichever defence platform we talk about… local manufacturing should be there and our cooperation should be designed while keeping this in mind,” said Misri.French ambassador Thierry Mathou had told TOI ahead of Modi’s visit to France the proposed deal for procurement of 114 Rafale fighter jets by India will align with Make in India.PM Modi and Macron discussed the situation in both West Asia and Ukraine, although details of the talks were not shared. France would like India to join the defensive coalition it is working on along with the UK to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz after the end of the conflict. India has not publicly stated its position, although it did join meetings hosted by France and UK on the issue.The two also stressed the importance of enhancing people-to-people ties, with Modi thanking Macron for the “swift operationalisation” of visa-free transit for Indian nationals at French airports. “They further discussed ways to enhance the mobility of talent and students between the two countries and expanding mutual recognition of educational qualifications,” said an Indian readout, adding that Modi invited French universities to open campuses in India under the National Education Policy (NEP)-2020.According to the readout, they appreciated the continued expansion of UPI in France, as well as the signing of 19 agreements among institutions in the innovation ecosystems of both countries.“Both leaders reiterated the importance of the India-France Special Global Strategic Partnership in creating further opportunities for the …two countries and advancing international peace, stability and prosperity,” it said, adding that Modi thanked Macron for engaging India in discussions leading up to the G7 summit.
