‘Chronology Samajhiye': Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge Slams MEA's U-Turn On US Trip Clearance
/ Jun 21, 2025, 02:31PM IST
Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge has called out the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for an apparent "U-turn" over political clearance for his official visit to the United States. According to Kharge, his request—originally submitted on May 15—was denied without explanation and later approved after his scheduled departure. Kharge was set to attend the BIO International Convention in Boston and the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco, aiming to pitch Karnataka to global investors. However, the clearance for his own visit was delayed until June 19, well past the start of the trip (June 14). Kharge shared the 'chronology' of denials and partial approvals for other delegation members in a viral post, questioning whether politics influenced the MEA's delay. He demanded accountability and asked why such crucial representation opportunities were blocked or delayed.#priyankkharge #mea #khargevisacontroversy #chronologysamajhiye #meaclearanceissue #congressvsmodigovt #usvisitdrama #karnatakanews #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Massive defence push after Operation Sindoor, Centre clears 10 major arsenal purchases worth Rs 1.05 lakh crore, BIG win for Indian Navy, to get largest ever…
Prime Minister Narendra Modi The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) on Thursday, July 3 gave the green light to start buying military equipment worth about Rs. 1.05 lakh crore. This move is aimed at strengthening the Indian armed forces. The plan includes a wide range of equipment from minesweeping ships and surface-to-air missiles to systems used in electronic warfare and vehicles that help recover damaged tanks and other armoured vehicles, according to the defence ministry. The DAC, which is led by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, approved 10 new defence purchase proposals. All of them will be made in India to support the country's goal of becoming more self-reliant in defence production. In India, the council's approval known as 'Acceptance of Necessity' or AoN is the first step toward actually buying the equipment. Indian navy to get mine countermeasure vessels Among the proposals, the biggest one is the Navy's plan to get mine countermeasure vessels (also known as minesweepers) worth around Rs. 44,000 crore. These ships play a key role in clearing naval mines and keeping sea routes safe. This decision is an important one because, right now, the Indian Navy doesn't have a single minesweeper in service. The last of its old fleet, which included six ships bought from the former Soviet Union in the late 1970s was retired six years ago. To rebuild its mine-clearing strength, the Navy now plans to get 12 new minesweeping ships (called MCMVs) from Indian shipyards. In addition to these ships, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) also approved other related equipment, like moored mines, a fast-firing naval gun called the super rapid gun mount, and underwater robotic vessels. These tools are meant to protect both Navy warships and civilian cargo ships from threats in the sea, the defence ministry said. This isn't the first time the Navy has tried to buy minesweepers. Over the past 17 to 18 years, at least three earlier efforts didn't work out. Two years ago, the Navy said it might divide the minesweeper order between two shipbuilders giving eight ships to the lowest bidder and four to the second-lowest to speed things up. Still, officials say the first minesweeper won't actually join the fleet until at least seven years after the deal is signed. The rest will be delivered over the next six to seven years. Big boost to surface-to-air missiles Another big proposal that got the green signal is for quick-reaction surface-to-air missiles, which are expected to cost around Rs. 30,000 crore. The council also approved purchases of armoured recovery vehicles (used to tow or fix damaged tanks), electronic warfare gear, and a shared inventory system for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. These acquisitions will help improve mobility, air defence, logistics, and overall readiness of the armed forces, the ministry said. Govt clears new defence proposals under IDDM category The DAC has cleared all the new defence proposals under the Buy (Indian-IDDM) category, which is the most important route for boosting defence manufacturing in India. IDDM stands for Indigenously Designed, Developed, and Manufactured meaning the equipment will be made in India, using Indian technology and resources. This decision comes at a key moment. On June 19, the Ministry of Defence announced the formation of a powerful new committee to review and improve the existing Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP 2020). This review is aimed at helping the armed forces modernise faster and making the country more self-reliant in defence production. The committee is being led by the Director General (Acquisition) and includes top officials from the defence ministry, representatives from the Indian defence industry, and experts from academic institutions. They are now holding discussions with different stakeholders and have asked for suggestions by July 5. According to the ministry, the goal of this review is to speed up the delivery of modern systems and equipment to the armed forces so that they can be better prepared to deal with future threats. At the same time, it aims to boost the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India) mission by encouraging home-grown defence technologies and innovations.

Pakistan, China will tremble as India gets approval for its deadly new weapon, can neutralize threats in blink of an eye, name is..., range is...
In the past, we were nowhere near the level of technology that we have now; threats and weapons to counter those threats were limited to the technology of the times. But as threats have increased, so has the technology we possess to address those threats. As an example, the Indian Army today possesses a range of short, medium, and long-range missile air defense systems that can, in large part, effectively take out any enemy aircraft, helicopter, or drone trying to enter Indian airspace. Now, there is another new member to the family of air defense systems, set to join the Indian Army. The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh as the chair, has given the go-ahead to the project. The estimated total cost of the project is around the value of Rs 33,000 crore. The Army now has the Quick Response Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) system, ready for deployment. The DAC is the highest decision-making body regarding procurement for the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy. Including the Defence Minister, the council also has the Chiefs of all three services, the Defence Secretary, the Secretary of Defence Production, the Secretary of Defence Research and Development, the Chief of Integrated Defence Staff, the Director General Acquisition, and the Chief of Integrated Staff Committees, who are also members of the council. A unique aspect of the QRSAM system is its tracked mobile platform concept. The system is predominantly used in offensive ground combat, mostly when tanks are advancing into enemy space. These mechanized air defense units will move along with Indian tanks as they transition through hostile areas, ready to locate and destroy aerial threats. The QRSAM system was developed by the DRDO, its missiles and radar components manufactured domestically by BEL, and the vehicle platform manufactured by BDL. The Indian Army is pursuing the acquisition of three regiments of the system. According to the official website of DRDO, Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile System (QRSAM) is a Short Range Surface to Air Missile system designed to protect moving armoured columns from aerial attacks. The entire weapon system is configured on highly mobile platforms and is capable of providing air defence on the move. QRSAM Weapon Systems is being inducted into the Indian Army (IA). The QRSAM can intercept many aerial threats, including enemy fighter jets, attack helicopters, precision guided munitions, and other aerial platforms up to 30 kilometers away. Each launcher is mounted on an 8×8 high mobility truck and has six missile tubes; it can engage as many as six separate threats simultaneously. The system possesses robust electronic countermeasures (ECM) that protect against a jamming attempt. Importantly, the QRSAM has completed all events related to developmental and operational testing successfully. The Indian Army's air defense systems currently are vehicle-based and are Russian made, and obtained decades ago. These systems include Shilka, Tunguska, Strela-10M, Osa-AK, and Pechora. The mostly indigenous QRSAM will allow for many of these systems to be replaced. Pechora could be deployed in mobile and stationary modalities, but most of the existing systems are no longer operational due to age. The Army is introducing the Akash missile system to replace more antiquated systems as part of their modernization. Although the Akash system is effective, it is stationary, unlike the other mobile systems it replaces.
