PM Modi, BJP committed to fulfil clauses of Bodo Accord: Shah

KOKRAJHAR: Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday asserted that the Bodoland Territorial Region Accord (BTR), inked a year ago, has initiated the process of ending insurgency in the northeast. Attacking the Congress, Shah said that the grand old party had signed many agreements with different militant outfits in the past, but failed to keep the promises it made. “I have come here to iterate that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP are committed to fulfil all clauses of the BTR Accord, which will pave the way for peace and development in the region. It marks the beginning of the end of insurgency in the region,” Shah said. Political rights, culture and language of all communities of Assam are secure under the BJP government, he said, during his address on the occasion of BTR Accord Day. “The prime minister was in Assam on Saturday, and he distributed land pattas (certificates) to more than one lakh indigenous people. The state government has already made Bodo the associate language of Assam. “Several measures have been taken to protect, preserve and promote the rich culture, language and heritage of all communities of the state,” the Union minister said. Only the BJP, under the leadership of Narendra Modi, can make Assam corruption-free, terrorism-free and pollution- free, Shah added. The BTR Accord, designed to usher in peace in the Bodoland Territorial Areas District (BTAD), was signed on January 27 last year by the Centre, the Assam government, all four factions of the National Democratic Front of Boroland and the then Bodoland Territorial Council chief Hagrama Mohilary.

Daily Current Affairs 28th April 2020

INDIA AMONG TOP 3 MILITARY SPENDERS: REPORT

The global military expenditure rose to $1917 billion in 2019 with India and China emerging among the top three spenders, according to a report by a Swedish think tank, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

In 2019, China and India were, respectively, the second- and third-largest military spenders in the world.

China’s military expenditure reached $261 billion in 2019, a 5.1% increase compared with 2018.

While India’s grew by 6.8% to $71.1 billion the report said.

In 2019, the top five largest spenders:

U.S. ($732 bn),

China,

India,

Russia ($65.1 bn) and

Saudi Arabia ($61.9 bn)

accounted for 62% of the global expenditure.

The annual report ‘Trends in World Military Expenditure, 2019’ was released on Monday.

India’s tensions and rivalry with both Pakistan and China are among the major drivers for its increased military spending.

The $71.1 billion spent by India on defence in 2019 was 2.4% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

India was at the fourth position in 2018 with Saudi Arabia at the third.

Significant Rise:

Stating that India’s expenditure in 2019 was 6.8% more than that in 2018, the report says the country’s military expenditure has risen significantly over the past few decades.

It grew by 259% over the 30-year period of 1990–2019, and by 37% over the decade of 2010–19.

However, its military burden fell from 2.7% of GDP in 2010 to 2.4% in 2019.

While India’s defence spending excluding pensions, which constitute a significant part, has been growing in absolute terms, it has been going down as a percentage of its GDP as noted by the report.

For instance, the defence allocation in the latest budget for 2020-21 which was ₹3.37 lakh crore, excluding defence pensions, accounts for about 1.5% of the country’s GDP, the lowest in recent times.

In comparison, Pakistan’s military expenditure rose by 70% over the decade 2010–19, to reach $10.3 billion while the military burden increased from 3.4% of GDP in 2010 to 4% in 2019, says the report.

Pakistan was at the 24th position in 2019 compared to 19th in 2018.

By leaps and bounds: India’s expenditure grew 259% over a 30-year period between 1990 and 2019.

BTAD PLACED UNDER GOVERNER’S RULE

Bodoland Territorial Area District (BTAD):

BTAD is spread over four districts of Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa and Udalguri.

The BTAD and other areas mentioned under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution have been exempted from the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019.

Recently, the central government, the Assam government and the Bodo groups, signed an agreement to redraw and rename the Bodoland Territorial Area District (BTAD) as the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), in Assam.

BODO:

The Bodo are a Tibeto-Burmese-speaking ethnic group in Assam.

The Bodo people speak the Bodo language, a Tibeto-Burman language recognized as one of twenty-two scheduled languages in the Indian Constitution.

The Bodo people are recognized as a plains tribe in the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.

The Bodo people are concentrated within the Assamese districts of Udalguri, Chirang, Baksa, Bajali, Sonitpur, Goalpara, Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, and Kokrajhar.

Bodos are the single largest community among the notified Scheduled Tribes in Assam.

Bodos are a part of Bodo-Kachari and constitute about 5-6% of Assam’s population.

Traditionally, Bodos practiced Bathouism, which is the worshiping of forefathers, known as Obonglaoree.

In ancient Sanskrit literature, Bodos were called as Kiratas and Mlecchas.

Bodos were also formerly known as Rangtsa or Ramsa.

Why in News?

Governor’s rule has been imposed in Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) as the State Election Commission deferred Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) election indefinitely due to the lockdown in view of

The decision has been taken as “a situation has arisen in which the administration of the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India.

It was placed under the Governor’s Rule on Monday after the expiry of the 5-year term of the council that governs it.

Its election, scheduled on April 4, had been deferred.

The BTAD, comprising 4 districts of Assam, falls under the Bodoland Territorial Council formed in 2003.

UN WARNS OF A HUMAN RIGHTS DISASTER

The UN rights chief warned on Monday that countries flouting the rule of law in the name of fighting the novel coronavirus pandemic risk sparking a “human rights disaster”.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet called on countries to refrain from violating fundamental rights “under the guise of exceptional or emergency measures”.

Emergency powers should not be a weapon governments can wield to quash dissent, control the population, and even perpetuate their time in power.

“They should be used to cope effectively with the pandemic — nothing more, nothing less.”

Her comments came after more than 200,000 people have perished in the pandemic and nearly 3 million have been infected worldwide by the novel coronavirus since it surfaced in China late last year.

Bachelet acknowledged that states have the right to restrict some rights to protect public health, but she insisted that any restrictions should be necessary, proportionate and non-discriminatory, and also limited in duration.

There have been numerous reports from different regions that police and other security forces have been using excessive, and at times lethal, force to make people abide by lockdowns and curfews.

Shooting, detaining, or abusing someone for breaking a curfew because they are desperately searching for food is clearly an unacceptable and unlawful response.

So is making it difficult or dangerous for a woman to get to hospital to give birth.

In some cases, people are dying because of the inappropriate application of measures that have been supposedly put in place to save them,” Ms. Bachelet said.

She also decried the mass arrests in some countries over curfew violations as “both unnecessary and unsafe.”

“Jails and prisons are high risk environments, and states should focus on releasing whoever can be safely released, not detaining more people.”

The UN rights chief also warned that efforts to rein in dangerous misinformation around the pandemic was in some cases being used as an excuse to crack down on legitimate free speech.

It is important to counter misinformation, but shutting down the free exchange of ideas and information not only violates rights, it undermines trust.

COST OF DOING BUSINESS TO SEE SIGNIFICANT RISE

As COVID-19 takes its toll on the economy and on human lives, the cost of doing business is set to go up as companies gear up to adhere to new safety and hygiene standards in their daily operations despite likely scaled down business activity and lower earnings.

The change in cost of doing business will vary from sector to sector. In the case of verticals like salons, where human touch is high, the cost would go up by 30-40%.

If a person who gives a haircut or a facial has to wear a new PPE for every new customer, it is about a ₹500-₹600 extra per customer,” said B.S. Nagesh, chairman, Retailers Association of India and founder TRRAIN.

He said for larger retail stores, the cost escalation would be anywhere between 10-50%.

Efficacy to Decline:

If one comes to a 1,000 sq. ft store and if only four people are allowed, then the efficacy of the store would come down by 50%.

In that case, the cost will go up by 10-15 % easily. But overall the impact would be 30-35% in the first year.

For large manufacturers and hotels and restaurants the cost escalation will be in double digits, as companies will be forced to operate at sub-optimal levels due to lack of demand and fewer employees.

There will be impact in terms of cost because manufacturing facilities will run at lower capacity due to intermittent runs.

The company’s hotels business is set to undergo changes in service delivery in confirmity with the new normal.

Contact-less Service:

In the hotels business, customers have a lot of concern around safety. We have to think about how to redesign our services and deliver non-contact service, how to maintain social distance norms and how to create many more avenues for check-ins etc.

Airlines and airport operators will also have to bear extra costs to take on board fewer passengers, possibly well below existing capacities as well as breakeven levels and deploy more manpower to enforce safety and hygiene norms.

Nipping margins: In sectors such as salons, the cost would rise by 30-40%, says RAI chariman B.S. Nagesh. REUTERS

At Assam event, PM Modi seeks to assuage concerns of state’s CAA protesters - india news

On his first visit to Assam since Parliament in December passed the amended citizenship law, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday tried to assuage the concerns of people in Assam protesting against the contentious law.Addressing a large crowd to celebrate the signing of the Bodo Accord last month, Modi accused some sections of fear-mongering. “People are spreading misinformation that CAA will lead to foreigners entering India illegally. I want to assure the people of Assam that nothing like that will happen,” said PM Modi.CAA proposes to fast-track citizenship to minorities, including Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains and Parsis, from the Muslim-majority nations of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan.The law has triggered widespread protests by opposition parties and other organisations in Assam amid concerns that it could encourage a fresh wave of infiltration by illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and threaten the livelihoods of indigenous people. Five people have been killed in police shooting during the protests, which are still underway peacefully.In Assam and the rest of northeast, the demand is for the scraping the legislation because of a perception it will dilute the 1985 Assam Accord, under which the government agreed to identify and deport any and all refugees and migrants who entered the northeastern state after March 25 1971.The CAA extends the deadline until December 31, 2014.Clause 6 of Assam Accord, signed after a six-year agitation against illegal immigrants, promises constitutional safeguards to Assamese people through reservations in elected seats, jobs and so on. A high-level committee on the issue will submit recommendations on implementing the clause this month to the government.“Our effort is now to implement Clause 6 of the Assam Accord as soon as possible. I assure the people of Assam that as soon as the high-level committee’s recommendations on the issue come, the Centre will implement it. We don’t believe in delays and obstructions,” Modi said.Modi described the Bodo Accord as a historic pact that will usher peace and development to Assam, where the movement for a separate Bodoland for the state’s largest tribe started over four decades ago. The Bodo Accord was signed on January 27 by the Centre with all four factions of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) and United Bodo Peoples’ Organisation (UBPO).“This is a day to celebrate your efforts, which has led to permanent peace in this area. It is a day to take an oath to strengthen faith in development and discard the darkness of violence,” Modi said to cheers from the crowd.“The accord is significant as it coincides with celebrations of the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. I welcome all NDFB cadres to the national mainstream. The accord has put a full stop to all Bodo demands and now development is our primary and final goal,” the PM said.Modi stressed that the accord will benefit not just the Bodos, but other communities as well. The PM listed important points of the accord including a special financial package of Rs 1,500 crore, which will benefit Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa and Udalguri, and the redrawing of Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC).“All demands related to the Bodo issues have been met. Peace was not established after 1993 and 2003 agreements. The Centre, Assam and Bodo agitation groups have signed a historic accord, no demand is left. Now, development is our first and last priority,” he said.With the signing of the accord, the United Liberation Front of Assam-Independent (ULFA-I), which is seeking a sovereign Assam, remains the only major banned militant outfit in the state. Last week, 1,615 cadres of all the factions of NDFB laid down arms in front of chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal at an event in Guwahati.The PM said the Central government was providing solutions to difficult problems, which had been ignored in the past because of “social and political” reasons. “For decades, nobody was touching issues related to the north-east. We have engaged with stakeholders and have found solution for long-lasting peace,” he said.This was a reference to the Centre’s decision to offer e special package to and settle Bru-Reang refugees in Tripura. The PM also mentioned that the National Liberation Front of Tripura and government had signed an agreement in August 2018 for lasting peace in the state. “Now, they have shunned arms and have joined the mainstream,” he said.Assam governor Jagdish Mukhi, chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal, senior minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Bodoland Territorial Council chief Hagrama Mohilliary and signatories to the Bodo Accord were present at the event.In his address, Sonowal urged all NDFB cadres to contribute towards building a developed Assam. Sarma reiterated his appeal to the ULFA-I and all other active militant outfits in the northeast to shun violence and join peace talks.Some groups opposed the Bodo accord because they weren’t consulted about it and planned to sponsor a shutdown protest on Friday, but called off the move. The All Assam Students Union (AASU), which is spearheading the anti-CAA protests in the state, also decided not to oppose Modi’s trip. Read the full article

A restive corner of India is becoming more peaceful

Bodos and don’ts A restive corner of India is becoming more peaceful

But for every group that is placated there are new malcontents

Feb 1st 2020

DELHI

HOW TO DIVIDE India into administrative units is a question that has vexed all its governments. For a time the main focus was to rationalise, as hundreds of feudal “princely” states were swept into the bigger provinces of the Indian republic. But since 1960 the number of states and territories has been rising, as different groups have successfully lobbied for their own unit, on the basis of language, ethnicity or administrative convenience. There were 20 in 1956; now there are 36.

Few areas have seen as much upheaval as the north-east, an ethnically mixed region of 50m people that was almost cut off from the rest of the country by the creation of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in 1947. It began as a single state, Assam, plus two principalities, Manipur and Tripura. It has since splintered into seven states, as Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland have been hived off Assam (see map). The region is still replete with disgruntled factions, however: it has spawned more than 125 insurgencies since the 1950s. Their varied struggles for statehood, independence or simply to clobber rival groups—many of these micro-conflicts have pitted “natives” against migrants—have left perhaps 40,000 dead.

Only recently have years of patient carrot-and-stick efforts by the central government, helped by better intelligence, tougher military tactics and stronger co-operation from neighbouring Bangladesh and Myanmar, begun to pay off. Casualties have declined steeply, from a high of almost 1,700 deaths in 2000 to just 17 last year. That has allowed the government to exempt some states from a controversial law that protects soldiers from prosecution for human-rights offences, and prompted the army to begin shifting resources away from internal security.

Underpinning all this has been a series of peace agreements with assorted rebel groups. Ongoing talks with insurgents in Nagaland have made significant progress, with at least one of the state’s main guerrilla factions agreeing to lay down arms. In Assam some 644 fighters from various groups recently surrendered their guns. And in January alone Mr Modi’s government inked two important deals. One, in Tripura, allows for the resettlement in the state of some 34,000 ethnic Bru refugees from neighbouring Mizoram. This should end a 23-year stand-off, as the destitute Brus had rejected efforts to send them back to areas from which they had been violently expelled.

Of bigger import is a deal signed on January 27th with several factions of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland. For Bodos, who speak a language related to Tibetan and Burmese and who number some 1.3m, the terms look generous. In exchange for some 1,500 rebels laying down arms, the Bodos will get a sweeping amnesty, an extra $225m in government funding, more schools, colleges and sports facilities, and a much fuller form of autonomy within their homeland in the western part of Assam, along India’s border with Bhutan. What is more, the boundaries of Bodoland will be redrawn, village by village, to ensure Bodos form a majority within it.

The deal is also good for Mr Modi. Government sources reckon the Bodo insurgency has left some 4,000 dead since 1987, including 88 killed in a series of bomb blasts in the state capital, Guwahati, in 2008. The violence also rendered tens of thousands of non-Bodos homeless as waves of refugees fled repeated massacres that targeted Bengali-speaking Muslim farmers in the floodplains of the Brahmaputra River and rival tribal groups in the hills. Aside from putting a stop to such mayhem, the deal will almost certainly prompt a large vote swing among the small but influential Bodo community towards Mr Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Its hold in Assam has weakened in recent months due to protests against a controversial new citizenship law. With state elections looming in 2021, the BJP is resorting to “vote-bank” politics.

Of course, the Bodoland deal is clearly not so good for non-Bodos who, despite the insurgents’ efforts at ethnic cleansing, constitute up to two-thirds of the population of the Bodoland region as currently defined. Naba Kumar Sarania, who represents the region in the national parliament, told the Hindu newspaper: “We are not against the peace process, but this accord has ignored the interests of the other ethnic communities in the area.” ■

Again, PM Narendra Modi Invokes Rahul Gandhi’s Danda Remark: 10 Points

PM Narendra Modi addresses a rally in Assam after the Bodo AccordNew Delhi: For the second time in two days, Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's "beating him with danda (stick)" comment, this time before a large gathering in Assam. Yesterday, he had referred to the comment - made by the Congress MP at a Delhi election rally - in parliament while replying to a debate. "At times, some leaders talk about beating me with sticks, but I'm saved by the blessings of all mothers of India. I pay my respects and thank all of you. I am here to instil a new belief in all Assamese people," PM Modi said while addressing a public meeting in Kokrajhar.

Here's a cheatsheet to this big story:

There was chaos in parliament today, with rival MPs almost coming to blows. "Congress MPs came to my seat in the house, tried to attack me and snatch my papers," alleged Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, who had raised Mr Gandhi's comments in the Lok Sabha and demanded his apology.The speaker was forced to adjourn the house. When the house resumed, more disruptions forced another break."BJP obviously doesn't like me to speak in the house. So in a completely unparliamentary manner the Health Minister raised something that I had said outside, which he has no business doing. I think the main issue is that we are being stifled. We are not allowed to speak in parliament," Mr Gandhi told reporters.On Thursday, PM Modi in parliament referred to Mr Gandhi's comment and joked that he would increase the number of Surya Namaskars (a yoga exercise) to prep his back for the "beating".Mr Gandhi alleged the "PM doesn't behave like a Prime Minister". "Normally, a prime minister has a particular status, a prime minister has a particular way of behaving, a particular stature, our prime minister doesn't have these. He does not behave in a prime ministerial way," he told reporters outside Parliament on Friday.In Assam, PM Modi congratulated the Bodos for the peace deal. "People in the whole of India are celebrating with you," PM Modi said of the accord that was signed on January 27 with Bodi insurgents, leading to them laying down arms."The manner in which the northeast situation was handled by earlier governments was disappointing. All they did was to control the situation when things went out of hand, but never did anything to find a permanent solution," PM Modi said."Our government takes tough decisions to find permanent solutions. There was a time when, for Delhi, the northeast was a distant region... Today, Delhi is at your doorstep," PM Modi said.According to the agreement with the Bodos, the area would be called Bodoland Territorial Region and the centre would fast-track hill tribe status to Bodo people living in the hill districts of Assam. The Bodo language, with Devnagri script, will become an associate official language in Assam."We will leave no stone unturned to implement the agreement... all the promises will be fulfilled timely," Home Minister Amit Shah had said.
