PM Modi’s Reply after Bulgarian President praises ‘brave’ Indian Navy for ‘MV Ruen’ rescue mission.

Narendra Modi stated that India is dedicated to maintaining freedom of navigation while tackling piracy and terrorism in the Indian Ocean.

PM Modi's Reply after Bulgarian President

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Tuesday that India is dedicated to defending freedom of navigation and tackling piracy and terrorism in the Indian Ocean region, after Bulgarian President Rumen Radev congratulated him for the Indian Navy’s rescue of his country’s ship and crew.

Rumen Radev wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “My sincere gratitude to PM Narendra Modi for the brave action of the India Navy in rescuing the hijacked Bulgarian ship ‘Ruen’ and its crew, including seven Bulgarian citizens.”

Modi replied that he liked the message.

“We are relieved that seven Bulgarian nationals are safe and will be coming home shortly. “India is committed to protecting freedom of navigation and combating piracy and terrorism in the Indian Ocean region,” Modi stated.

Earlier on Sunday, Bulgaria’s deputy prime minister hailed India, Modi, and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for successfully retrieving the hijacked MV Ruen.

“I thank the navy for a successful operation to free the hijacked vessel Ruen and its crew members, including seven Bulgarian nationals. Thank you for your support and hard work. “We continue to work together to protect the crew’s lives,” Bulgarian Minister Mariya Gabriel wrote on X. “That’s what friends are for,” Jaishankar responded.

On Saturday, the Indian Navy forced 35 pirates to surrender and successfully recovered the MV Ruen, which Somali pirates had seized on December 14, last year. The seizure of the Bulgarian-owned MV Ruen was the first time Somali pirates boarded a commercial vessel since 2017. On Saturday, all crew members were safely retrieved, with no injuries.

The Indian Navy claimed that INS Kolkata led the operation. The Navy used its P-8I maritime patrol aircraft, together with frontline ships INS Kolkata and INS Subhadra, as well as a high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicle. On Saturday, the Indian Air Force’s C-17 aircraft dropped two boats alongside Indian Navy MARCOS in the Arabian Sea to support the ongoing anti-piracy effort ‘Operation Sankalp’.

During the 40-hour rescue mission, INS Kolkata intercepted the pirate ship MV Ruen, which was under attack over 2600 kilometres from the Indian coast. Through smart maneuvers, INS Kolkata forced the pirate ship to halt its voyage.

“On March 16, INS Kolkata, a mission deployed in the Arabian Sea, intercepted the pirate ship MV Ruen, thwarting Somali pirates’ plans to capture ships sailing through the region. The commerce vessel was hijacked in December 2023 and has since been under the custody of Somali pirates, according to an Indian Navy statement.

Since December, when Somali pirates hijacked the MV Ruen 380 nautical miles east of Yemen’s Socotra island, the Indian navy has been watching it. At that time, the pirates handed over one injured Bulgarian sailor to the Indian Navy.

They then transported the MV Ruen and its 17 crew members to Somalia’s semi-autonomous province of Puntland, where the Indian navy claimed it was anchored near Bosaso.

Electoral Bonds: Decoding Congress’s little pockets of resistance

While the BJP maintained a stark dominance in electoral bond encashments overall, data reviewed by India Today shows the Congress performed comparatively better in small pockets where its chances of winning elections were higher.

Electoral Bonds

In Short

  • BJP received Rs 6,060 crore through electoral bonds, Congress got Rs 1,422 crore
  • Congress drew more money in phases 15 and 17, coinciding with Tamil Nadu polls
  • Congress’s highest encashment in October 2023 before assembly polls in 5 states.

The prominence of a Tamil Nadu-based lottery company and a Hyderabad-based business conglomerate as top donors, alongside the ruling BJP emerging as the primary beneficiary of electoral bonds, is not the only takeaway from the electoral bonds data published by the Election Commission.

Since April 2019, the BJP has garnered a significant Rs 6,060 crore through electoral bonds, compared to the Congress’s Rs 1,422 crore. But notable exceptions occurred when the Congress had a higher chance of winning elections.

On average, the BJP encashed 42.7% of the total encashment against Congress’ 9.1% between phases 9 and 30, data for which was released on Thursday. However, little pockets of resistance from the Congress were seen in some phases.

For instance, Congress managed to draw more money than BJP in phases 15 and 17 corresponding to January 2021 and July 2021 respectively, as per data released by the Election Commission and Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR). Interestingly, these instances coincide with the assembly elections in states like Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Kerala, where the Congress’s position was notably firm.

In phase 15, Congress encashed Rs 7.1 crore against BJP’s Rs 1.5 crore, whereas in phase 17 it redeemed bonds worth Rs 24.7 crore against Rs 18 crore by the BJP. Interestingly, Congress party’s highest numbers were reported around October 2023, when it encashed Rs 401.9 crore against BJP’s Rs 359 crore in the same phase.

States expecting polls during this period were Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and Mizoram, where the party was either in power or was expected to make a comeback.

Congress’s second highest encashment during a single phase was reported in April 2023, before the Karnataka polls with Rs 190.6 crore. The incumbent BJP redeemed Rs 334 crore in the same phase, but lost the southern state. Another small phase that saw the grand old party outstripping the BJP was in July 2022, when it encashed Rs 57.5 crore against the latter’s Rs 12.5 crore.

The BJP, on the other hand, scored its highest in the run-up to the previous Lok Sabha elections, encashing Rs 1,064 crore against Congress’s Rs 118 crore in April 2019, corresponding to phase 9 of the electoral bonds.

The saffron party went on to redeem bonds worth Rs 707 crore in the next month against Congress’s Rs 50 crore during that phase. The data released after the Supreme Court’s order only covers details of electoral bonds sold and encashed since April 12, 2019, although phase 9 started on April 1, 2019, as per ADR.

ISPL 2024 Playoffs Key Players

Abhishek Kumar Dalhor (Majhi Mumbai): The most expensive signing of the ISPL Season 1 has lived up to his hype. Despite a slow start, Abhishek Kumar Dalhor has carved out his imprint in the league, with 131 runs with the bat and 8 wickets with the ball.

Prathamesh Pawar (Tiigers of Kolkata): The ‘Dada’ of Tennis Ball cricket, Prathamesh Pawar will be crucial for the Kolkata side. He has led his team brilliantly and is the vital cog of that outfit.

Rajesh Sorte (Srinagar Ke Veer): Srinagar pacer Rajesh Sorte has picked up 11 wickets in the tournament so far, the most by any bowler. His ability to pick up wickets and maintain discipline during bowling has been a huge weapon for the team, and Sorte will be key again for them in the knockouts.
