There is a growing rift between Mamata Banerjee, the CM of West Bengal and her anointed successor and number 2 in the party hierarchy, her nephew Abhishek Banerjee. Her displeasure was quite clear when she made a very important statement at the airport while leaving for Lucknow that she would not go to Goa to campaign for the election, as somebody was already doing that. This harmless word 'somebody' indicated that everything in Goa now has to be handled by Abhishek independently, and she had withdrawn herself from there completely.

The wind of change is blowing in Pakistan. Prime Minister Imran Khan seems to be in deep trouble. It is reported that he has lost the support of his own party and also most importantly, the backing of the army.

Simmering Problems In The South China Sea!

Monomita NagDecember 20, 20210

South China sea has become a zone of conflict. China's hegemony, muscle flexing and sweeping control over the sea and certain islands have antagonised the littoral countries like Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam. China claims of complete sovereignty of the sea , including some Islands together with huge untapped and even undiscovered maritime and mineral resources such as 11 billions of oil and 190 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. China claims that foreign militaries can not carry out any clandestine intelligence gathering activities in the areas which they claim are under their absolute control. However, the USA is not prepared to accept this claim of China. It says that under the UN Law all the littoral countries are free to navigate through the ar...
