Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri's recent meeting with Taliban Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Dubai has drawn attention, particularly from Pakistan, especially following India's condemnation of a Pakistani airstrike in Kabul. This visit reflects India's increasing engagement with the Taliban, which has included formal outreach and ongoing humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, despite the Taliban's takeover. India has historically supported Afghanistan through extensive development projects and has continued to provide aid, including a recent allocation of Rs 200 crore. Meanwhile, Pakistan faces rising insecurity, with the Islamic State Khorasan posing a growing threat. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has reacted aggressively to Pakistani military actions, further complicating the situation. In contrast, India is positioning itself as a stabilizing force in the region, promoting economic development and regional cooperation, while Pakistan appears to be struggling with internal conflicts and external relations.

Published: Jan 10 2025, 3 pmeznews.inIn New Delhi, a fresh political confrontation has erupted between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over allegations of electoral roll manipulation and comments made by BJP leader Parvesh Verma. AAP's Chief Minister Atishi led a delegation to the Election Commission, prompting an investigation into Verma, who is contesting against Arvind Kejriwal in New Delhi. Verma, defending himself, claimed AAP has failed to address public issues over the past 11 years and accused them of fear over potential electoral loss. The tensions escalated further when Kejriwal's remarks about the BJP allegedly importing voters from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh sparked protests, with the BJP accusing him of disparaging Purvanchali residents. Kejriwal countered that AAP has uplifted Purvanchali voters and criticized the BJP for neglecting their needs in Delhi's slums.
Published: Jan 10 2025, 3 pmeznews.inArvind Kejriwal, who entered politics over a decade ago as an anti-corruption crusader, now faces a challenging electoral landscape in Delhi ahead of the February 5 polls. Despite initially gaining popularity for initiatives like free electricity and improved healthcare, Kejriwal's tenure has been marred by allegations of corruption involving key AAP leaders, including himself, who have spent significant time in jail. His recent lavish renovation of his official residence has drawn public ire, contrasting sharply with his earlier promises. Additionally, scrutiny over the effectiveness of Mohalla clinics and rising concerns over unfulfilled promises, such as pollution control and inflated utility bills, have further undermined his credibility. Questions about his ability to assume office again due to bail conditions add to the uncertainty surrounding his political future, as voters weigh whether to forgive his deviations from his original ideals.
