Tariff threat: Congress's ‘dost dost na raha' swipe at PM Modi; mocks ‘Howdy Modi', ‘Namaste Trump' events
File photo of PM Modi and Donald Trump (Pic credit: ANI) NEW DELHI: Congress on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on PM Modi, mocking the much-touted "special bond" between him and US President, following Donald Trump's latest threat to raise tariffs on India over its continued oil imports from Russia. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh, in a scathing statement laced with sarcasm and Bollywood references, said the so-called "friendship" with Trump had now become "very expensive" for India. "There is a popular song 'Dost dost na raha'. PM must also know the song. 'Dost dost na raha, Trump yaar hamein tera aitbaar na raha'," Ramesh said. Ramesh did not hold back as he reminded the public of previous high-profile events like 'Howdy Modi' and 'Namaste Trump'. "They conducted 'Howdy Modi' and 'Namaste Trump'. They said 'Abki baar Trump sarkar'. There were photo ops. Our EAM was sitting in the first row during the inauguration of President Trump. Claims were made that the PM shares a special bond with President Trump, that they are old is the result of all of it? Threats of increased tariffs are being made," he said. Trump, in a post on Truth Social on Monday, accused India of buying large quantities of Russian oil and reselling it on the open market for profit, vowing to substantially raise tariffs on Indian goods. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pierce Brosnan's Wife Lost 120 Pounds - This Is Her Now Undo The ministry of external affairs (MEA) has since issued a strong rebuttal, defending India's right to shape its energy policy based on national interest. Ramesh also aimed at PM Modi's silence when Trump controversially claimed credit for brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. "He said this 32-33 times. PM did not say anything on this. MEA has issued a statement now, but it is clear that our relations with the US have deteriorated," Ramesh said. "Today, CAP - China, America and Pakistan have become a challenge for us," he added.

Chinese mafia conflict escalates in Italy's fast fashion hub of Prato

Prosecutors describe the situation as a 'hanger war' among Chinese mafia groups, competing for control of apparel transport and hanger production, an estimated €100 million ($115 million) market. Prato prosecutor Luca Tescaroli has requested intervention from Rome, including the deployment of an anti-mafia division and additional resources for law enforcement and judicial offices. He has warned that the conflict has become a significant criminal enterprise with reach into France and Spain. Live Events Also read: Italy fines fast-fashion giant Shein for 'green' claims Tescaroli stated the Chinese mafia in Prato also "promotes the illegal immigration of workers of various nationalities," supporting its labor demands. Illegal labor and tax evasion fuel fast fashion output Prato's apparel industry includes approximately 5,000 small-scale, mostly Chinese-run knitwear and textile subcontractors. The sector, central to Italy's fast fashion economy, has long faced scrutiny for labor and safety violations, tax evasion, and customs fraud. Investigators report that many factories smuggle fabric from China and avoid duties, while profits are funneled back through illegal transfers. To minimize costs, operators rely on immigrant labor from China and Pakistan. Tescaroli has described this labor pool as "essential for its proper functioning." Union representatives estimate some workers earn €3 per hour, laboring up to 13 hours per day, seven days a week. Riccardo Tamborrino of Sudd Cobas stated the system is 'not just one or two bad apples, but a well-oiled system,' characterized by rapid factory closures and reopenings to evade regulation.

Berkeley study reveals Francesca Ciuffi, also of Sudd Cobas, added, 'Police complaints from attacked workers ended up in a drawer, never reaching the court.' Key mafia figures and transnational operations Prosecutors have identified Zhang Naizhong as a central figure in Prato's criminal underworld. Described in a 2017 court document as 'the leading figure in the unscrupulous circles of the Chinese community,' Zhang allegedly holds a monopoly on apparel transportation across Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and Germany. Zhang Dayong, shot and killed in Rome alongside his girlfriend, was identified as Naizhong's deputy. His murder followed a series of fires targeting company warehouses in Paris and Madrid. Francesco Nannucci, former head of Prato's investigative police, said the Chinese mafia also runs betting operations, drug trafficking, and prostitution, and acts as a financial conduit for Italian criminal groups. 'To be able to command in Prato means being able to lead in much of Europe,' Nannucci stated. Naizhong was acquitted of usury charges in 2022, in a trial disrupted by missing documents and the lack of qualified translators. Authorities believe he may now be in China. Corruption and labor organizing amidst unrest The industry operates amid reported corruption involving both local officials and law enforcement. In May 2024, the second-in-command of Prato's Carabinieri was accused of providing entrepreneurs, including Chinese businessmen, with confidential information from police databases. In June, the city's mayor resigned during a separate corruption probe involving vote trading. Also read: Canada's biggest mafia boss Leonardo Rizzuto and 11 others arrested in Quebec under the most significant c Trucks continue moving garments day and night through Prato's industrial zones, where warehouses and showrooms bear names such as 'Miss Fashion' and 'Ohlala Pronto Moda.' Pakistani and Chinese workers load fabrics and apparel for distribution across Europe. On a recent weekday, Pakistani workers picketed outside a shuttered factory that had agreed to provide legal contracts days before. Muhammed Akram, 44, witnessed the factory owner removing equipment at night. 'Sneaky boss,' he said. Union organizers note that Chinese workers, often brought to Italy by mafia networks, rarely participate in strikes due to fear of retaliation. Despite organizing efforts that have secured contracts at more than 70 companies, Ciuffi said such progress does not protect individuals from mafia violence. 'People who wake up in the morning, quietly going to work, risk getting seriously injured, if not worse, because of a war that doesn't concern them.'

SEBI wants bigger slice for MFs, Ulips and pension funds in IPO pie
SEBI has also proposed trimming the retail quota from 35% to 25% in a staggered manner, while boosting the qualified institutional buyer quota from 50% to 60% to ensure demand stability. (AI image) Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed increasing the reservation for anchor investors in initial public offerings (IPOs) from 33% to 40%, with a greater share allocated to domestic institutional investors such as mutual funds, insurance companies and pension funds. In a consultation paper released last week, the market regulator has proposed that one-third of the 40% anchor investor reservation be earmarked for domestic mutual funds. An additional 7% will be set aside exclusively for life insurance companies registered with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) and pension funds regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA). The market watchdog clarified that if insurance companies or pension funds do not fully utilise their reserved portion, the unutilised quota will be made available to mutual funds. SEBI has also proposed trimming the retail quota from 35% to 25% in a staggered manner, while boosting the qualified institutional buyer quota from 50% to 60% to ensure demand stability. Anchor investors are large institutional players who are allotted shares a day before an IPO opens to the public. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo Their early participation lends credibility to the issue and helps attract wider investor interest. Currently, only mutual funds have a dedicated reservation in the anchor book. They are given one-third of the anchor portion, subject to demand. Insurance companies and pension funds, although eligible to participate, do not enjoy any formal reservation. Mutual funds are also eligible for up to 5% reservation in the non-anchor portion of the Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) category. SEBI's proposal also includes formally recognising insurance companies and pension funds as eligible entities within the anchor investor category, expanding the base of long-term domestic investors in public issues. Experts have welcomed the proposal, saying this increased reservation will benefit small investors who put their money in mutual funds, Ulips and pension funds but often don't get the shares they apply for in IPOs.
