WASHINGTON: A US Senator has said he ended his objection to the USD 3.9 billion drone deal with India after months of "painstaking discussions" with the Biden administration which assured him that New Delhi is committed to investigating an alleged plot to assassinate a Khalistani separatist on American soil. Following the assurance from the administration, Senator Ben Cardin, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, removed his objections to the deal. The move led the State Department to notify Congress that the US Government has agreed to sell 31 armed drones to India at an estimated cost of USD 3.9 billion. Under the deal, India will get 31 High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) UAVs, of which the Navy will get 15 SeaGuardian drones, while the Army and the Indian Air Force will get eight each of the land version SkyGuardian.

View: Interim Budget balances fiscal discipline, welfare & growth

Against this backdrop, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has very nicely balanced fiscal discipline, welfare necessities and inclusive economic growth.To everyone's very pleasant surprise, the balance between economic growth and fiscal consolidation has been maintained with the fiscal deficit for FY25 budgeted at 5.1 % of GDP. This is better than CII had suggested and the adherence to strict fiscal management will improve macroeconomic stability and support sustainable economic growth. With capital expenditure for the next year budget to rise by 11.1%to ₹11.1 lakh crore, economic growth will continue to be strongly supported.Encouragingly, capex support to states is to continue with a significant allocation. This year's budget was also marked by support to Nari Shakti as a means to Rashtra Shakti.

Two states: On the Palestine question and the U.K.
Yet, the debate, which included reports in the American media that the State Department is reviewing options for possible recognition of the Palestine state, suggests that the Palestine question is back at the centre of the political parleys of the major powers. Before October 7, Israel, its Arab partners and western allies thought they could ignore the Palestine question and go ahead building a new West Asia. Hamas attacks and the subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza show that finding a solution to the Palestine question is an imperative for peace and stability in a strife-stricken West Asia. And, one of the globally recognised and practical pathways to peace is a two-state solution — a viable, independent, sovereign Palestine state created with international recognition. Israeli leaders, including Benjamin Netanyahu, have repeatedly rejected the two-state solution, while the far-right settlers are pushing for the control of the whole of Palestinian territories.

Twins agree to 1-year contract with first baseman Carlos Santana, AP source says
The Minnesota Twins added a veteran bat on Friday, agreeing to a one-year contract with Carlos Santana that is worth $5.25 million. HT ImageA person familiar with the deal confirmed the move to the AP on condition of anonymity because it was pending a physical. Santana, who turns 38 in April, played for Pittsburgh and Milwaukee last year, batting .240 with 23 homers and 86 RBIs in 146 games. The addition of Santana could help replace some of the offensive production that Minnesota lost when it traded second baseman Jorge Polanco to Seattle on Monday.

Nothing but the truth
Sambandha, which is the connection between vishaya, prayojana and adhikari, must also be specified. Srimad Bhagavatam begins with three mangala slokas, said Valayapet Ramachariar in a discourse. There are two kinds of dharma – siddha dharma and sadhya dharma. Bhagavatam speaks nothing but the truth and adheres to facts (vaasthavam). The Lord is not just the goal, but the means to attain that goal, and Srimad Bhagavatam shows us this.
