Prakash Karat said on Thursday, as he called for improving relations with China as a balancing factor. In an interview with PTI, Karat, the Interim Coordinator of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), said India does not need to be allies with China, but improving relations with the northern neighbour will help India's position in a multipolar world. Amid ongoing tariff dispute with the US, he said in 2008, when the Left parties withdrew support from the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government over the Indo-US Civil Nuclear deal, the move was seen only in context to the deal. However, over the years, it led to strategic relations developing in a way that today the Trump administration is trying to «extract» deals from India. Karat, who served as the general secretary of the party from 2005-2015, was at the helm when the CPI(M)'s withdrawal of support from the UPA government led to the alliance government facing a strength test in Parliament, which it survived though with the backing of the Samajwadi Party. «People saw our opposition to the India-US nuclear deal only within the framework of that civil nuclear deal. We saw it in a wider perspective because the real thing was America was saying we will give you this nuclear deal, we will remove all those earlier restrictions and prohibitions which were there… But the quid pro quo was that you come into a military and defence agreement with us, which we entered into — the ten year military framework agreement,» Karat told PTI.

Donald Trump has done more than any of his modern predecessors to hollow out the foundations of an international system that the United States painstakingly erected in the 80 years since it emerged victorious from World War II. Without formally declaring a reversal of course or offering a strategic rationale, he has pushed the United States to switch sides in the Ukraine war, abandoning for a time all talk about helping a nascent, flawed democracy defend its borders against a larger invader. He did not hesitate when he ordered the United States to vote with Russia and North Korea — and against virtually all of America's traditional allies — to defeat a U.N.

Russian and American officials discussed the terms during in-person and virtual conversations over the last three weeks, the people said. They described the Kremlin's terms as broad and similar to demands it previously has presented to Ukraine, the U.S. and NATO. Those earlier terms included no NATO membership for Kyiv, an agreement not to deploy foreign troops in Ukraine and international recognition of President Vladimir Putin's claim that Crimea and four provinces belong to Russia. Russia, in recent years, also has demanded the U.S. and NATO address what it has called the «root causes» of the war, including NATO's eastward expansion.

Vedanta Ltd's promoters will maintain over 50% stake in each of its demerged entities, as the focus remains on creating pure-play companies which will be better placed to capitalise opportunities, the group's chairman said. The mining conglomerate is looking to demerge its businesses — aluminium, oil & gas, power and steel- as separate entities. At present, these businesses are subsumed within Vedanta Ltd, the Indian subsidiary of UK-based Vedanta Resources. «We realised that most of our businesses are sitting under a large banyan tree structure, that is Vedanta. It is better to take them out and allow them to grow in the sun,» Vedanta Resources chairman Anil Agarwal told ET during an interaction. There is no need for a stake sale for cutting debt at the holding company level, he said. «We are very comfortable with our shareholding levels and have no plans to pare down our promoter stake in any way. Equally, we have no plans to increase our stake in any of the companies that will be demerged,» he said, explaining that the company is sufficiently funded to manage affairs through internal accruals. But it is open to selling the steel business if a «right price» is offered.
