Mahayuti, BJP disown Jharkhand MP remarks on Marathi manoos

Mumbai: After Jharkhand BJP MP Nishikant Dubey stirred a fresh political row on Monday, saying people in Maharashtra were surviving on their money and those targeting non-Marathi speakers in the state would be thrashed badly again and again, the BJP in Maharashtra and the ruling Mahayuti alliance distanced themselves from the remarks. Ashish Shelar (Hindustan Times) Cultural affairs minister and Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar said that nobody should question the contribution and achievements of the Marathi manoos in the country. While replying to the long duration debate in the assembly, Shelar said he did not want to name the Jharkhand MP as he had not given notice, although he wanted to clear the stand of the state government, the Mahayuti and the BJP. 'The MP should not raise questions over the performance of the Marathi manoos. The contribution of Maharashtra in the national GDP is highest in the country,' Shelar said. The first film in India was produced by a Marathi person and the first army in Indian history was established by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, he said. 'We should not be questioned about our contribution….Nobody should say that Maharashtra is surviving on their money,' Shelar said in the assembly. His party and the state government would safeguard Marathi pride and ensure that non-Marathi people living in the state were not disrespected. Mashelkar committee report to be tabled Shiv Sena leader and Marathi language minister Uday Samant on Monday said the government would table the Mashelkar committee report on implementation of the three-language formula under the National Education Policy, 2020. Samant, while speaking in the legislative assembly, reiterated that the government had tried to make Hindi compulsory, but introduce it as a third language in schools. The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by Uddhav Thackeray had accepted Masheklar committee's report, which has a paragraph recommending Hindi be made mandatory alongside Marathi and English from class 1 to 12, on February 22, 2022, Samant said. 'The then CM had clearly tweeted on his social media account that the report would be implemented,' he said. The Mashelkar committee report would be tabled in the house and copies of the report would be made available to all MLAs, he added.

Shares of Indian textile firms rally as Trump slaps 35 pc tariff on Bangladesh

New Delhi: The Indian textile companies saw their shares surging in the morning trade on Tuesday after the US President Donald Trump slapped 35 per cent tariff on Bangladesh. Shares of textile firms such as Trident, Welspun, Gokaldas Exports, KPR Mill, Vardhman Textiles and Arvind Ltd. went up in the early trade. The stock of Gokaldas Exports were up more than 7 per cent while Vardhman Textiles shares rallied 7.4 per cent and Welspun Living's stock jumped two per cent. In a letter to Bangladesh's Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, Trump said that starting on August 1, 2025 'we will charge Bangladesh a tariff of only 35 per cent on any and all Bangladeshi products sent into the United States, separate from all sectoral tariffs.' 'Please understand that the 35 per cent number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the trade deficit disparity we have with your country,' Trump wrote in the letter. He said that goods transshipped to evade a higher tariff will be subject to that higher tariff. The US President warned that if, for any reason, Bangladesh decides to raise its tariffs, then whatever number it chooses to raise them by will be added to the 35 per cent that the country charges. 'Please understand that these tariffs are necessary to correct the many years of Bangladesh's tariff and non-tariff policies and trade barriers causing these unsustainable trade deficits against the United States. This deficit is a major threat to our economy and indeed our national security,' Trump noted. If Bangladesh wishes to open its closed trading markets to the US and eliminate its tariff and non-tariff, policies and trade barriers, 'we will perhaps consider an adjustment to this letter. These tariffs may be modified upward or downward, depending on our relationship with your country,' said US President. In the US ready-made garment market, Vietnam holds a 19 per cent share, while Bangladesh accounts for 9 per cent. Trump has imposed 25 per cent tariffs on goods from Japan and South Korea, while 12 other nations received letters revealing the tariffs they will have to pay. He also said that the US 'is very close to making a deal with India'.
