A US congressional report says that visa ban on Narendra Modi will automatically be lifted if becomes the Prime Minister.

If Narendra Modi were to become Prime 

Minister of India, he would automatically be eligible for an A-1 (diplomatic) visa as head of state, regardless of the purpose of his visit," the Congressional Research Service (CRS) said in its communication to US lawmakers.

In 2005, the US had denied visa to Modi in the wake of the 2002 Gujarat riots and has since not revoked its decision.

The seven-page report 'Visa Policy: the case of Narendra Modi' was prepared by the CRS — an independent and bipartisan wing of the US Congress — at the request of several lawmakers who have been opposed to a US visa to Modi.

The views and reports of the CRS are meant to keep the lawmakers informed and is non-binding either on the Congress or the US Government.

Led Congressmen Republican Joe Pitts and Democrat Keith Ellison lawmaker had asked a set of five questions on the prospects of US granting a visa to Modi if he is elected as the Prime Minister of India.

The lawmakers had asked 'What is the process for approval of a US visa if Modi were to apply for one?' and 'Were Modi elected Prime Minister of India, how would his ascension likely affect his prospects to receive a US visa? Would the US be required to grant him a diplomatic visa? How might the International Religious Freedom Act be interpreted should he apply for a visa?'

The report dated March 18 was made public on March 31. It also refers to the recent cases in which Modi was given a clean chit by the courts and investigative agencies.

In December 2010, a Special Investigative Team appointed by the Supreme Court of India had found "no substantial incriminating evidence" that chief minister Modi had let the rioters rampage against the Muslims in February 2002, it said.

"On the other hand, the Gujarat high court continues to criticize chief minister Modi for his 'inaction and negligence' during the violence," the report said.

The report said Modi as the Prime Minister would enjoy diplomatic immunity.

However, it is only US President Barack Obama who can exercise his authority to deny a visa to Modi as the Prime Minister of India if he deems that would be detrimental to the American interest.

In August 2011, Obama had issued a proclamation in this regard pertaining to foreign nationals involved in war crime or systematic violence systematic against civilian populations.

Gurgaon- Commercial and Residential hub of NCR

The Gurgaon real estate market is growing at a steady rate be it in terms of Retail, Residential or Industrial space. Most of the absorption in Delhi NCR is likely to focus around Gurgaon and Noida, reason being the provision of much desired amenities in these areas. 

 

Reality players like DLF, Ansal API, EMAAR MGF, Assotech Realty, Microtek Infrastructures, Supertech, Amrapali, Gaursons India Ltd, etc, are coming up with new commercial projects in the NCR. Thus, private sector is revamping NCR’s environs, bringing in the much-needed impetus to the sector. According to realty experts, the impact of the subdued economic sentiment and the rising inflation rate on the realty market, and the attractiveness of a city’s business environment, can largely be gauged by evaluating the health of commercial realty in that city. 

The key factors that have fostered the rapid Realty growth as well as people’s interest to invest in residential apartments in Gurgaon include: 

 

CLEAN AND GREEN

The increasing pollution has deteriorated NCR’s environment to a great extent but still there are regions like Gurgaon in NCR where this has been kept well in consideration which is evident through the fact that large spaces are allocated especially for parks and gardens. This enhances the beauty of this area while keeping air clean and fresh.

CONNECTIVITY

In the hustle bustle of today’s busy life, easy connectivity from home to workplace and vice versa, as well as to other places becomes a necessity. And Gurgaon offers it all, you get less traffic, wider roads and most importantly the MNCs are located in close proximity. “Impact of improving infrastructure: New and forthcoming growth corridors along Gurgaon and Noida like Yamuna Expressway, Noida Expressway, and Dwarka-Gurgaon Expressway have recorded tremendous increase in commercial and residential activities in the past few months and will continue to drive the commercial market activity.” Says Shravan Gupta, Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Emaar MGF.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The basic necessities including educational institutes, medical facilities, and entertainment hubs are abundant in Gurgaon and moreover Realty Developers are inclined towards providing all these to attract more and more people to invest in this location.

The quality of life that is accessible in Noida and Gurgaon is quite superior.

Apart from this, the lavish outdoor and indoor spaces, parks, sports facilities and shopping centres complete the living experience.

LUXURYHOMES

The launch of Marbella marks the commitment of Emaar MGF to continuously develop properties with modern design concepts of international standards”

JOBOPPORTUNITIES

The fact that Gurgaon continues to be the first stop for MNCs, speaks volumes about the sub-city. It is heartening to see authorities to be in tune with the time and planning infrastructure for new areas as per changing needs. “Real estate in Noida and Gurgaon has picked up and continues at a substantial rate because people find jobs in close proximity” says Nitin Batra, owner of Nitin Associates, a local consultant.

Andhra CM Kiran Reddy stages protest at Jantar Mantar against his own party

NEW DELHI: The drama over the formation of Telangana scaled new heights on Wednesday with Andhra Pradesh chief minister Kiran Reddy staging a sit-in protest in the Capital while a harried government weighed the option of a voice vote to pass the contentious legislation.

The CM doing an Arvind Kejriwal at Jantar Mantar seemed even more bizarre as Reddy was opposing his own Congress party's decision to form Telangana.

The task of getting the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Bill through Parliament looks more challenging as Reddy set an unusual precedent by leading the anti-Telangana stir even as Congress pledged support to the new state.

While Reddy and some of his cabinet colleagues protested, Seemandhra MPs from Congress, YSR Congress and TDP disrupted Parliament, forcing adjournment of Lok Sabha followed by Rajya Sabha.

It is learnt that Telangana Rashtra Samithi leader K Chandrasekhar Rao has urged the government to pass the bill by a voice vote, arguing that bills to create Uttarakhand and Jharkhand were passed in a similar manner.

Government sources said the voice vote route could be an option as the Telangana bill is not a constitutional amendment, but senior Congress leaders remain cautious, pointing to vehement opposition to the new state.

However, the political directive to Congress floor managers is clear enough. "The next Lok Sabha will have 17 MPs from Telangana and 25 MPs from Seemandhra, the die seems cast," said a minister.

The bill is expected to be cleared by the Union Cabinet on Thursday with a group of ministers having finalized a draft.

BJP reiterated that it will oppose marshalling out of anti-Telangana MPs and also demanded that the two Houses must be in order when the bill is considered, conditions that Congress felt were aimed at delaying the bill.

Meanwhile, TDP leader N Chandrababu also reached the capital to oppose the Centre's "unilateral" decision to create a new state without adequate consensus. "The Centre must take the states into confidence. But the Centre is violating all this and that is not correct," he said.

Official sources said a TDP delegation led by Lok Sabha MP Nama Nageshwar Rao expressed readiness to support the bill. Rao represents TDP MPs from Telangana region.

With the government planning to bring the Telangana bill to Parliament, possibly Rajya Sabha first, on February 12, emotions are coming to a boil with supporters of both camps coming close to blows at Andhra Bhawan on Wednesday.

The heated exchanges between Telangana and Seemandhra MPs in Parliament also threaten to spill out of hand forcing the government to consider tough action like seeking the suspension of anti-Telangana MPs.

Though government managers are cagey in spelling out plans for disciplinary action, saying the matter is for presiding officers to decide, passing the bill in the presence of Seemandhra MPs seems a rather fraught task.

The noisy and chaotic start to the continuing winter session did not bode well for transaction of business and finance minister P Chidambaram admitted as much while addressing a business conclave, saying he doubted if Parliament will pass any law.

"We have to go through the ritual of attending Parliament every day and come back empty handed," Chidambaram said.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was more optimistic, saying "hiccups" over Telangana would subside. "I think these are hiccups. I hope all sections of the House will have the wisdom to set aside these prejudices and create an atmosphere conducive to harmonious working of the House," he said.

But the situation does not look promising for the government, as tough action like suspending anti-Seemandhra MPs will only increase the bitterness over the formation of Telangana.

While BJP is not making things easier for the government, the Congress will end up losing face on both sides of the Telangana divide if it backs out at this stage.

AAP workers protest outside Arun Jaitley's residence

NEW DELHI: BJP and Aam Aadmi Party workers on Tuesday staged protests against each other outside the residence of BJP leader Arun Jaitely.            

    

 An AAP MLA had yesterday accused BJP leader Arun Jaitely of trying to topple the Delhi government.

Madan Lal, Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Kasturba Nagar, alleged that he had been approached by BJP leaders, including BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, in an attempt to buy him off for Rs 20 crore.

Lal, addressing a press conference, said that on December 7 he received a call from an "unknown number" and the person on the other end said he would make him talk to a "big person" and mentioned Arun Jaitley's name.

"I told him to shut up and put down the phone," said Lal.

However, Lal said he has no proof to back his allegations.

Arun Jaitley had rubbished claims by AAP MLA Madan Lal that the BJP was trying to buy him off and topple the AAP government.

In a tweet, the leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha said: "Rubbish claims by AAP. AAP's alternative politics includes a fundamental right to falsehood and lies."

"AAP's holding protests with an eye on upcoming polls," a BJP leader said.

AAP is launching a "pol khol campaign" against BJP and Congress from today.

India and China Spar for Most Polluted Capital City

Is New Delhi's air pollution worse than Beijing's?

A media kerfuffle broke out in India this week over whether New Delhi has finally surpassed Beijing as having worse air quality than the infamous Chinese capital. A report carried by the Hindustan Times, an Indian daily, claimed that New Delhi had “earned the dubious tag of being the world’s most polluted city,” he Wall Street Journal subsequently reported that the EPI used national statistics in its indexing, and even if it did compile information city by city, New Delhi does not keep reliable enough data to make a direct comparison to Beijing possible.


according to the Environmental Performance Index (EPI), a report put out by Yale and Columbia. T

(MORE: Beijing Chokes on Record Pollution, and Even the Government Admits There’s a Problem)

I’m just speaking for myself here, but as I look out this morning on a city blanketed by an indistinguishable mix of fog, dust and toxic heavy particles, I find it hard to take great comfort in any win for India in this. Parents may not be sending their kids to school in gas masks … yet, but it’s not exactly a fine day for a jog. (The New York Times’ own findings indicate the Indian capital’s fine particulate matter has, on average, been worse than Beijing in the first weeks of the year.)

Wherever New Delhi lands, the EPI did rank India’s air quality 174th out of 178 countries measured; only Pakistan, China, Nepal and Bangladesh came in lower. So one would hope Indian authorities do not interpret this as a pass. A 2012 study showed that pollution levels have been growing faster in Indian cities than in China. If it’s not a matter of now, it might simply be a matter of when.

AAP to contest election in northeast

ITANAGAR: After scripting a stunning electoral success in Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party has set its sight on the northeast where the party intends to field maximum number of candidates.

To begin with, the party has decided to contest the coming Lok Sabha and assembly elections in Arunachal Pradesh due this year, AAP's national executive member and in-charge of northeastern states Habung Payeng said on Wednesday.

"We will make all efforts to put up maximum number of candidates in the parliamentary and assembly polls in Arunachal Pradesh, Payend told a press conference.

Payeng said that apart from Arunachal Pradesh, the AAP had already constituted state committees in Assam, Manipur, Tripura and Meghalaya. They are also in the pipeline in Sikkim, Mizoram and Nagaland.

"We will try to put up maximum candidates in the Lok Sabha election from the region," he said.

The party has constituted a small preparatory committee in Arunachal which, though temporary in nature, will launch a membership drive soon, according to Payeng.

He emphasized that all contesting candidates would have to execute an affidavit declaring that they would not avail of any luxurious government accommodation and would not use red light in their official vehicles if they were elected.

Moreover, aspiring candidates with criminal background would not be issued party tickets.

Asked what would be the strategy to contest from a Congress bastion like Arunachal, Payeng said that they would focus on several issues including demand for a strong Lokayukta and to make the RTI Act a strong tool for a clean and transparent government.

"The voters of the state are very conscious....and the AAP will be able to provide good governance as expected by the people," he said.

With a growing population and urban migration, there are ample opportunities to raise the bar for residential communities in the region.

It is the foresight and leadership of Mr. Shravan Gupta which has seen similar projects sprouting up in small and big cities of the country to address the residential needs of a growing population. Mr. Shravan Gupta understands that the consumers today are more knowledgeable and have experienced the living standards in other countries. Hence, Emaar MGF is not going to settle for anything less than the best.

Emaar MGF Gomti Greens: Well-designed and tranquil community

Beautiful lawns have been allocated throughout the community by Emaar MGF’s to provide natural environment to the residents. While necessary space has been apportioned for vehicular traffic along well-paved and smooth roads, necessary space for foot traffic has also been proposed by Mr. Shravan Gupta so that residents are not deprived of a healthy alternative to using the car in a safe and secure environment.
