Mera Bharat

देश का नेता कैसा हो। नरेंद्र मोदी जैसा हो।।

देशभर के अपने युवा साथियों के उज्ज्वल भविष्य और सशक्तिकरण के लिए हमारी प्रतिबद्धता अटूट है। इसी दिशा में कल सुबह 11 बजे वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग के जरिए एक और रोजगार मेले में शामिल होऊंगा। इसमें युवाओं को विभिन्न सरकारी विभागों के नियुक्ति पत्र सौंपने का सौभाग्य मिलेगा। pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…

*STATEMENT* As per reports, the Hon’ble Delhi High Court today has issued notice to me in a plea seeking initiation of criminal contempt proceedings over one of my reports concerning the appearance of conflict of interest and reasonable apprehension of bias in Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma hearing the CBI appeal in the Delhi Excise Policy case. The petitioner alleges that my report contains “serious, unfounded and scandalous allegations” against Justice Sharma. I stand firmly by my reporting. The report was based entirely on documentary material: RTI data furnished by the Ministry of Law & Justice, the judge’s own judicial orders in Criminal Revision Petitions, publicly available records, and statements made by a sitting Hon’ble Judge of the Supreme Court himself. Not a single fact reported by me has been rebutted either by the judge concerned or by the CBI in any of the proceedings, including the suo-motu contempt proceedings. In that backdrop, an unattached third party has now come into the picture. That said, since the matter now directly concerns me and is sub-judice, it will not be appropriate to comment further on the merits at this stage. I shall place my response before the Court after consulting distinguished members of the Bar, eminent legal luminaries, and respected members of the fraternity. The constitutional guarantee of free speech includes the right, not just of journalists, but of every citizen, to fairly scrutinise and critique judicial functioning and administrative decisions that have a bearing on public confidence in the institution. The faith in the institution can never be strengthened through opacity or the chilling of public scrutiny. Journalism that seeks to uncover these uncomfortable facts in the largest of public interests is part of the constitutional duty of the fourth pillar. Questions cannot be contempt.✊🏻 #JournalismIsNotACrime

वनस्पते शतवल्शो वि रोह सहस्रवल्शा वि वयं रुहेम। यं त्वामयं स्वधितिस्तेजमानः प्रणिनाय महते सौभगाय॥

हमारी मातृभूमि साधना और उपासना के साथ-साथ साहस, शक्ति और सर्व-कल्याण की पुण्यभूमि रही है। महान विरासत और प्राचीन संस्कृति की यह पावन धरती हर किसी को सदैव सुख-समृद्धि से परिपूर्ण रखे, यही कामना है। यस्यां पूर्वे पूर्वजना विचक्रिरे यस्यां देवा असुरानभ्यवर्तयन् । गवामश्वानां वयसश्च विष्ठा भगं वर्चः पृथिवी नो दधातु ।।

The talks with Prime Minister Meloni were excellent. Her commitment to furthering the India-Italy friendship is commendable. Bilateral ties between our nations have advanced significantly in sectors like trade, space, technology and more. In order to further deepen linkages, we have elevated our ties to a Special Strategic Partnership. @GiorgiaMeloni

Five Italians passionate about Indian dance, Svamini Atmananda Giri, Ms. Martina Meenakshi Argada, Ms. Lucrezia Maniscotti, Ms. Valeria Vespaziani, Ms. Rosella Fanelli performed ‘Trigalbandi’, which included Kuchipudi, Bharatanatyam and Kathak. It is wonderful to see Indian dance forms drawing global interest.

Sono atterrato a Roma, in Italia. Incontrerò il Presidente Sergio Mattarella e il Primo Ministro Giorgia Meloni e avrò dei colloqui con loro. Questa visita si concentrerà su come rafforzare la cooperazione tra India e Italia, con particolare attenzione al Corridoio Economico India-Medio Oriente-Europa (IMEC). Verrà inoltre esaminato il Piano d'Azione Strategica Congiunto 2025-2029. Visiterò anche la sede dell'Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite per l'Alimentazione e l'Agricoltura (FAO), rafforzando l'impegno dell'India nei confronti del multilateralismo e della sicurezza alimentare globale. @Quirinale @GiorgiaMeloni

Welcome to Rome, my friend! 🇮🇹🇮🇳

India and the Nordic nations have made exceptional progress in the last few years. Trade ties have grown stronger and investment linkages have deepened significantly. One of the most significant outcomes of today’s India-Nordic Summit is our decision to elevate our ties to a Green Technology and Innovation Strategic Partnership. This will combine innovation with scale and talent, while advancing our shared commitment towards sustainability, trusted technologies and a better future for humanity. @SwedishPM @jonasgahrstore @statsmin @PetteriOrpo

Oli ilo tavata Suomen pääministeri, herra Petteri Orpo. Tänä vuonna on nähty laajaa vuorovaikutusta Intian ja Suomen välillä. Pääministeri Orpo itse vieraili Intiassa AI Impact Summit -tapahtumassa. Tämänpäiväisen tapaamisemme tavoitteena on antaa uutta energiaa kahdenvälisiin suhteisiin. Keskustelimme yhteistyöstä tulevaisuuden aloilla, kuten 6G, tekoäly, koulutus ja ydinenergia. Puhuimme myös siitä, miten syventää yhteistyötä muun muassa ilmastonmuutoksen, kiertotalouden ja kestävän kehityksen saralla. @PetteriOrpo

Jeg hadde fruktbare samtaler med statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre i Oslo. Et av de viktigste høydepunktene var oppgraderingen av vårt bilaterale partnerskap til et grønt strategisk partnerskap, som vil styrke samarbeidet innen ren energi, bærekraftig vekst, den blå økonomien og grønn skipsfart, samt flere andre områder. Vi diskuterte også hvordan vi kan styrke forbindelsene innen innovasjon, forskning, utdanning, helsevesen og kompetanseutvikling. Det er gledelig å se Norge bli med i Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative. @jonasgahrstore

धरती माता पूरी मानवता को एक परिवार मानती हैं। उनके लिए यह पूरा संसार एक घर की तरह है, जहां हर संस्कृति का अपना महत्त्व और सम्मान है। जनं बिभ्रती बहुधा विवाचसं नानाधर्माणं पृथिवी यथौकसम्। सहस्रं धारा द्रविणस्य मे दुहां ध्रुवेव धेनुरनपस्फुरन्ती ॥

जलबिन्दुनिपातेन क्रमशः पूर्यते घटः। सः हेतुः सर्वविद्यानां धर्मस्य च धनस्य च।।

A short while ago, I was conferred with the ‘Royal Order of the Polar Star, Degree Commander Grand Cross.’ This is not just an honour for me, but for the 140 crore people of India. It’s equally a tribute to all our friends in Sweden who have enriched India-Sweden relations and given them a strong foundation. May the friendship between our nations continue to grow. @SwedishPM

नेदरलँड्समध्ये भारतीय समुदायाच्या कार्यक्रमात, महाराष्ट्राच्या वैभवशाली संस्कृतीचे जिवंत दर्शन झाले. खरोखरच, महराष्ट्राच्या परंपरांचा हा अविस्मरणीय उत्सव जगभरात लोकप्रिय होत आहे.

The glorious culture of Maharashtra came alive at the community programme in the Netherlands. Truly, a memorable celebration of Maharashtra’s traditions which are getting popular worldwide.

The tulip and the lotus remind us that whether roots lie in water or in the soil, with the right nourishment, they blossom. This is also the foundation of the partnership between India and the Netherlands.

De ontvangst gisteren, van de Indiase diaspora in Nederland, was bijzonder. De ontvangst omvatte een dansvoorstelling met Kathak, Odissi, Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi en Mohiniyattam. Ook was er een Garba voorstelling.

Highlights from a productive UAE visit, which will deepen our bilateral friendship…
