April 30, 2021

The External Affairs Minister had a phone conversation this evening with the State Councilor and Foreign Minister of China, H.E. Mr. Wang Yi. The call was arranged at the request of the Chinese side to convey their sympathy and solidarity with India at this juncture.

The External Affairs Minister thanked Foreign Minister Wang Yi for his sentiments and apprised him of the ongoing efforts to meet the challenge posed by the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in India. He said that the Government was fully determined to do whatever was necessary to overcome this challenge.

External Affairs Minister highlighted in this regard that Indian entities were already in the process of commercially procuring required products and raw materials from suppliers in China. The Minister said that this process would be facilitated if various transport corridors and cargo flights remained open and the necessary logistics support ensured expeditiously. The Minister emphasized that serious challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which had affected all countries, required serious international cooperation.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi described the COVID-19 as a common enemy of mankind and agreed that there was a need for coordination on a concerted response. He said that China supported the efforts of Government of India and would ensure that all the required materials flow to Indian entities without any delay. Chinese companies would be encouraged and supported to deliver requisite materials. Airports, customs and airlines would also be instructed to smoothly facilitate movement of goods. Chartered flights from India would be welcome and specific problems raised by the Indian side sorted out quickly. Foreign Minister Wang Yi offered any other appropriate assistance required from the Chinese Government.

The two Ministers also discussed the outstanding issues related to disengagement from all friction points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh. External Affairs Minister conveyed that while the process of disengagement had commenced earlier this year, it remained unfinished. He emphasized that it was necessary that this process be completed at the earliest. Full restoration of peace and tranquility in the border areas would enable progress in the bilateral relationship. The two Ministers agreed to continue further dialogue at the official level on this matter.

The telephone call concluded with a brief discussion on the BRICS and RIC Meetings of Foreign Ministers which are scheduled to take place in the near future under the Indian Chair. Foreign Minister Wang Yi confirmed his participation at these events.

 Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu,  India in USA is busy meeting every Tom, Dick, and Harry instead of taking to task India haters. At least Indian embassy should stop/restrict engagements with rumormongers and fake news peddlers.

Emulate HCI Canberra.

 India in USA and Ambassador Taranjit Singh Sandhu let down Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar by not effectively countering anti India propaganda launched by WAPO. NYT, TIME, WSJ, NEW YORKER, ATLANTC etc.

 Yet to issue a rejoinder, yet to lodge a protest. 

 "As  Western media turns into vultures, Foreign Minster S Jaishankar and MEA tell Indian diplomats to not get overpowered by negative reports"

They should be more proactive to counter anti India propaganda

 India - Russia 2+2 eclipsed India - US 2+2

 Coronization of a poem penned by famous Hindi poet Late Bhavani Prasad Mishra

( Yes Sir,Madame, I sell Poems)  

जी हां हुज़ूर, मैं गीत बेचता हूं,

मैं तरह-तरह के गीत बेचता हूं,

मैं किसिम-किसिम के गीत बेचता हूं !

Yes Sir/Madam I sell the grief and sorrow

Yes Sir/Madam I sell the grief and sorrow

Of different kind and design

With a wide price range

Initially I felt some inhibition

But then I thought

In a world where people have sold their conscience

No harm in selling the grief and sorrow

Kindly tell what kind of sorrow and grief you cherish

Customers' choice is supreme 

This grief is from New Delhi's Nigam Bodh Ghat

This is from Mumbai's Chandan Badi

And this grief is special 
From the Manikarnika Ghat of  eternal city of Varanasi 
Dear Sir/Madam I know 

Selling the sorrow and grief is a sin

But I have to keep in mind 

Demands by customers

Customer, they say, is second name of God
