Report on Combatting Terrorism

Present day terrorist activities around the world are motivated largely by religious imperatives. The practitioners of terrorism motivated either in whole or in part by a religious imperative consider violence as a divine duty or a sacramental act. It embraces different means of legitimisation and justification compared to other terrorist groups, and these distinguishing factors make religious terrorism more destructive in nature. Religious terrorism can be initiated by both a minority and a majority religion or sect of a nation.

Farm Loan Waiver now Rs. 72,000 crore

In his budget speech this year, when the Finance Minister P. Chidambaram announced the most ambitious farm loan waiver scheme with an estimated write off of Rs. 60,000 crores covering more than 4 crore farmers, it was hailed as a historic decision. Surely, no government has ever had the courage and the resources to provide direct cash relief to so many distressed farmers.

Common Minimum Programme

The people of India have voted decisively in the 14th Lok Sabha elections for secular, progressive forces, for parties wedded to the welfare of farmers, agricultural labour, weavers, workers and weaker sections of society, for parties irrevocably committed to the daily well-being of the common man across the country.

Statement by Mr. P. Chidambaram

Accordingly, RBI has taken measures that have infused an additional Rs.60,000 crore (Rs.600 billion) into the financial system. The LAF also provides liquidity and, as on Oct 10, Rs.91,500 crore (Rs.915 billion) had been accessed by banks through the LAF window. We believe that these steps should ease the liquidity situation and the flow of credit should become smoother, relieving the pressures that had built up in the last two weeks.

An end to Nuclear apartheid

The clean waiver given to India by the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) enables India to resuscitate our nuclear energy program without endangering our nuclear deterrent. India will not merely be able to access nuclear fuel supplies to step up generation from its existing power reactors, currently operating at no more than 30-50 per cent capacity, but also free it from sanctions and denial of nuclear commerce that have debilitated its nuclear and more general technological progress for several decades

Benefits of the Indo-US Nuclear deal

The fact is that the Indo US nuclear deal is in the national interest, what with Indian nuclear plants currently running at less than 50 per cent capacity for want of the fuel which the country cannot access without the IAEA agreement and the NSG waiver for nuclear trade. The agreement is a clear win-win situation for India. It will help India to not only access nuclear fuel supplies to step up generation from its existing power reactors, currently operating at no more than 30-50 per cent capacity, but also free it from sanctions that have debilitated its nuclear and more general technological progress, that too without compromising its strategic nuclear deterrence program.
