He has his reasons for saying so...: Shashi Tharoor on Rahul Gandhi's 'dead economy' remark
The remarks came after Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact.
Speaking to the mediapersons, Tharoor said, "I don't want to comment on what my party leader has said. He has his reasons for saying so. My concern is that our relationship with the US, as a strategic and economic partnership, is important for us. We are exporting around 90 billion worth of goods to America. We can't be in a position to lose that or have it diminish significantly.""We must wish our negotiators strength to get a fair deal for India. We should also be talking to other regions for exporting our goods. Then we could make up for some of what we might lose in the US. We have to support our negotiators," he added. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact.
Speaking to reporters, Rahul Gandhi said that the whole world knows the Indian economy is "dead" except for the Prime Minister and Finance Minister."Yes, he is right. Everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact. The entire world knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. BJP has finished the economy to help Adani," Rahul Gandhi said.On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump made a shocking statement on his social media platform Truth Social after the announcement of 25 per cent tariffs against India and threatened an additional "penalty" for importing Russian oil.

From a democrat to 'broken man' feuding with Trump, the rise and fall of Russia's Dmitry Medvedev
In the West, Dmitry Medvedev was once seen as a democrat who could liberalise Russia. In a stunning fall, he has been reduced to a rabid attack dog for Vladimir Putin who threatens Western capitals with nuclear weapons and launches into xenophobic rants on social media. In his feud with Donald Trump last week, he may have finally overstepped. read more Russian President Vladimir Putin and then-Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev attend a meeting with members of the government in Moscow, Russia, January 15, 2020. (Photo: Sputnik/Dmitry Astakhov/Pool via Reuters) Few world leaders have had downfalls like Dmitry Medvedev, the former President of Russia once seen as a democrat who could liberalise the country. Far from the democrat who once stood beside Barack Obama and delivered statesman-like remarks, Medvedev now functions as a rabid attack dog of Russian leader Vladimir Putin who threatens Western capitals with nuclear attacks, abuses Western leaders, and launches into xenophobic attacks on social media. Medvedev served as the President of Russia during 2008-12 when Putin became the Prime Minister because of presidential term limits. Initially, he showed reformist streaks and acted as someone who appeared to be putting Russia on the path of democratisation. The phase did not last long as Putin made it clear that he held the real power. In 2012, Putin returned as the president and appointed Medvedev as the prime minister — an office he held till 2020. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In 2020, in a demotion that would have forced a politician in any other country to retire altogether in shame, Putin appointed Medvedev as the Deputy Chairperson of the Security Council of Russia, a position equivalent to that of the National Security Advisor of the United States. In 25 years of his rule, Putin has crushed all opposition to his rule, killed the free press, jailed, exiled, or killed opposition leaders. With Medvedev's relegation to the Security Council, he removed perhaps the last person from a position of power that could have held any democratic streak. Here we explore the rise and fall of Medvedev, who went on to become the Russian president from a lawyer — and then got reduced to an attack dog. From a municipal lawyer to President of Russia Medvedev first met Putin in 1990 when he joined the Committee for Foreign Affairs of the Mayor of St Petersburg. The committee was headed by Putin. Medvedev and Putin became friends. The friendship would go on to define Medvedev's career. At the time, Putin had just entered politics after leaving the Soviet spy agency KGB. Unlike him, Medvedev did not come from government background. He was a lawyer and was in academia briefly. As Putin moved from St Petersburg to Moscow, Medvedev moved to the Russian capital as well, serving first as Putin's personal lawyer and later playing a key role in the 2000 presidential election that Putin won. Under Putin, Medvedev served in several positions, such as his Deputy Chief of Staff, Chairman of Gazprom, and Chief of Staff, before being appointed as the First Deputy Prime Minister in 2005. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In 2008, Medvedev took over as the President of Russia. In what initially appeared to be a pivotal movement that many hoped would put Russia on the path of democratisation and check Putin's consolidation of powers, he initially embarked on anti-corruption campaign, sought to instil scientific temper and promote technological innovation, and advocated for civil society development in Russia. But he was put in place mid-term by Putin. The rise as democrat and fall to irrelevance As the President of Russia, Medvedev once stood beside Obama and announced that 'the solution of many world problems depends on the joint will of the United States and Russia'. Far from the attack dog that now threatens Western capitals with nuclear strikes, Medvedev said at the time that the United States and Russia 'have the major nuclear arsenals and we have full responsibility for those arsenals'. Medvedev's democratic streaks and perception as a moderniser paved the way for his doom. In Putin's Russia, after all, there was no place for democracy or modernity. Medvedev once held democratic convictions and it is quite possible that, at some point, Putin saw him as a genuine threat and decided him to break him and relegate him to the Security Council where he does not have any real executive power, according to Kseniya Kirillova, a Russia analyst at the Washington DC-based Jamestown Foundation. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Breaking Medvedev as a leader and forcing him to be a radical attack dog hit many birds with one stone for Putin. 'As Putin likely saw Medvedev as a threat, he chose to break him completely by assigning him the role of a radical. This humiliating, almost buffoonish, role that Medvedev now plays is most likely the result of fear of Putin. The Kremlin, in turn, uses him to test public opinion both within Russia and abroad. Therefore, Medvedev's behaviour should not be interpreted as indicative of any significant internal processes,' says Kirillova.

India-UK CETA: A Boost for India's Technical Textile Exports to the UK
PNN Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 4: The recently signed India-UK Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Mr. Keir Starmer, marks a transformative milestone in strengthening economic and trade ties between the two countries. The Agreement offers 100% duty-free market access for Indian exports to the UK, covering 99% of the UK's tariff lines, thereby unlocking new opportunities for several sectors, particularly Technical Textiles. Bhadresh Dodhia, Immediate Past Chairman of MATEXIL (Manmade Fibre and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council), who was part of the High-Powered Business Delegation accompanying Prime Minister Modi to the UK, said "This historic agreement is poised to open substantial new market opportunities for India's Technical Textiles sector. India will now enjoy a significant competitive edge over China in this domain, as China does not have any FTA with the UK." The UK currently imports Technical Textiles worth over USD 7 billion annually. India, with its growing capabilities, can scale up its exports in this segment from USD 240 million at present to over USD 1 billion by 2030. Shaleen Toshniwal, Chairman, MATEXIL, welcomed the CETA and emphasized that key sub-segments such as Agrotech, Geotech, Hometech, Indutech, Packtech, and Sportech are poised for strong growth under the agreement, citing India's cost competitiveness and manufacturing strength. Further , he added that "With the removal of tariff barriers, Indian exporters can now significantly enhance their footprint in the UK across high-potential categories like medical textiles, protective wear, geo-textiles, industrial fabrics, and agro-tech textiles." India already possesses the technical capability to produce high-performance textiles in line with global standards. The India-UK CETA will allow Indian manufacturers to compete on equal terms with global players in the UK market. MATEXIL, which is entrusted with the export promotion of both Manmade Fibre Textiles and Technical Textiles, is actively collaborating with industry stakeholders and the Ministry of Textiles to: - Identify priority export products, - Support compliance with UK regulatory and sustainability standards, and - Facilitate buyer-seller linkages and certification support. Bhadresh Dodhia further advised exporters that "Until the agreement is fully implemented, Indian Technical Textile exporters should proactively study UK market requirements, technical standards, and sustainability norms to better position themselves and maximize the benefits of the CETA."
