Gandhiji’s bust unveiled in German city of Trier

(UNI) A bust of Mahatma Gandhi has been unveiled at the Auguste-Viktoria-Gymansium, one of the oldest schools in the German city of Trier, as part of the 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi.
Ambassador of India to Germany, Mukta Dutta Tomar, who unveiled the bust with Lord Mayor of Trier, Wolfram Leibe last week, highlighted the significance and relevance of the principle of non-violence to achieve peace, tolerance and understanding in the contemporary world.
She reminded about the continuing relevance of Gandhian thoughts on sustainable living and appreciation for natural resources and his teaching that “The earth, the air, the land and the water are not an inheritance from our fore fathers but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over to us.”

NASA satellites spot young star in growth spurt

(UNI) An adolescent star in the midst of a dramatic growth phase has been observed with the help of two NASA space telescopes.
The youngster belongs to a class of stars that gain mass when matter swirling around the star falls onto its surface, NASA said in an official statement on Wednesday.
The star belongs to a class of fitful stars known as FU Ori’s, named after the original member of the group, FU Orionis (the capital letters represent a naming scheme for variable stars, and Orionis refers to its location in the Orion constellation).
The in-falling matter causes the star to appear about 100 times brighter.
Typically, these stars, which are less than a few million years old, are hidden behind thick clouds of dust and hard to observe. This new object is only the 25th member of this class found to date and one of only about a dozen caught in the act of an outburst.
The new findings shed light on some long-standing mysteries surrounding the evolution of young stars, including how they acquire all of their mass. This rarely observed outbursting behavior could be common but might typically be hidden from our view by thick clouds of dust.

UK Hysteria over alleged Russia threat coincides with Brexit aggravation -Security Council

Each new stage of London’s hysteria over alleged threat coming from Russia coincides with aggravation in the Brexit process, Alexander Venediktov, an aide to the Russian Security Council secretary, said in an interview with Sputnik.
“The UK-related example is an illustrative one. Each new stage of hysteria over alleged Russian threat coincides with aggravation of crisis related to the painful Brexit process. This is already a system, a smoothly running and predictable one,” Venediktov said.
The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in a referendum in June 2016 and is expected to do so by late March 2019.
On December 11, UK Prime Minister Theresa May postponed the vote on her Brexit deal with the European Union, which led to a vote of no confidence against May later in the week. Though she won the vote 200 to 117, the future of Brexit deal is not yet decided and no-deal Brexit also remains possible.

Saira Banu seeks PM’s intervention in property issue

(UNI) Veteran actress and wife of Dilip Kumar, Saira Banu, has expressed hope that Prime Minister will look into the matter and help save her husband’s bunglow from the land mafia.

In a tweet post by Banu via Kumar’s Twitter account on Tuesday, the veteran actress requested for an appointment with PM Modi after slamming Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for not doing
anything in the matter despite assurances.

She further writes that she ‘begged’ the Prime Minister to protect their ‘only house’ from land mafia Samir Bhojwani.
Meanwhile, ‘Prime Minister’s Office has taken note of veteran actor Dilip Kumar’s tweet alleging threat from one builder (Samir Bhojwani)’, an official from the CM’s office said.

The tweet read “Padma Vibhushit betrayed, threatened by money and muscle power. Request meeting with you in #Mumbai,”.
Interacting with the electronic media, Saira Banu had sought audience with Modi, who was here on Tuesday, to discuss the issue following the builder’s release from jail.
Bhojwani had falsely claimed ownership of the two plots in upscale Pali Hill area of suburban Bandra on which the ailing 96-year-old actor’s bungalow is located.
Later, Mr Fadnavis said that he would speak to the couple and try sort out the issue.

“For the last three months, the CM has been promising me that he will talk to Bhojwani and resolve the issue. I hope he will stick to his words and do the needful,” she added.

Giving details about the dispute, “This man (Samir Bhojwani) is an expert at land grabbing, forgery and fraudulent cases. He is doing these things because he has muscle power and money. He has big
political connections, and therefore, no one is willing to take action against him.”
She also stated that Bhojwani has violated BMC guidelines but they have not taken any action against him.

Saira Banu said, “We have been facing this court dispute and harassment by Samir Bhojwani for the last 10-12 years.

Former NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Panagariya flays politics of farm loan waivers

(UNI) Amid heightened politics over farm loan waiver, former Vice Chairman of

NITI Aayog Arvind Panagariya has said that such “sad race to the bottom” was no panacea to the farmers’ distress and suggested that there is need to look for ‘different solutions’ to farmers woes.

“‏A sad race to the bottom has begun. If loan waivers would fundamentally alleviate farmers’

plight, waivers would be a welcome step. But if after 70 years of Independence, farmers remain in distress, we need to seek different solutions,” tweeted Mr Panagariya, who had resigned in August 2017 as the NITI Aaoyg Vice Chairman.

Mr Panagariya is at present a professor at Columbia University.

In his Tweet, Mr Panagariya also attached a news item that shows Congress President Rahul Gandhi has dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to waive all farm loans in the country.

The promise of farm loan waive is said to have contributed chiefly to the victory of Congress in three heartland states of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan also has lately said that farm loan waiver should not form

part of the election manifesto or promise during elections and that he has already written

EU States agree to prolong migrant rescue sea mission Sophia until March 2019

The EU countries agreed to prolong the Operation Sophia, formally European Union Naval Force Mediterranean (EU NAVFOR Med), aimed at rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean Sea as well as countering human trafficking, for three months until March 2019, the EU Political and Security Committee (PSC) said.
The mission was prolonged for three months instead of a year, as it has been done before, because of Italy’s wish to change the mission’s regulations in order to avoid accepting migrants rescued in the central Mediterranean route.
“The PSC agreed to prolong the mandate of the EU NAVFOR Med (Sophia) operation for three months,” the committee said, as quoted by Welt.
