"A resumption of such high-level engagement in the aftermath of the November Mumbai attacks is encouraging," State Department Spokesman Ian Kelly told mediapersons at his daily press briefing in response to a question.
"We have seen media reports indicating that Indian Prime Minister Singh and Pakistani President Zardari have met on the margins of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Yekaterinburg," Kelly said.
This is for the first time that Singh met Zardari after the Mumbai terror attacks which killed more than 170 people. Noting that the US has always welcomed dialogue and better ties between India and Pakistan, he said, "It is also obvious that the pace, the scope and the character of that dialogue is something for Indian and Pakistani leaders to decide."
How and when to approach that dialogue is something for India and Pakistan to decide, Kelly said reiterating the well known stand of the United States that there should not be a third party mediation between the two countries.
"We have said before that India and Pakistan need to continue their dialogue to find joint solutions against terrorism and to promote regional stability," he said.


Vice President Mike Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions will speak to a "National Summit on Crime Reduction and Public Safety" being held the next two days near Washington, D.C., according to an agenda posted by the U.S. Justice Department.

Communities secretary Sajid Javid has defended himself against accusations of a business rates tax "grab", saying that the Treasury has to take in more money because it lost out at the last revaluation.
Business rates have been revaluated for the first time in seven years and the government has increased the amount it is charging businesses to cover the cost of appeals made against the new ratings.
In previous revaluations, the government estimated that around four per cent of the total business rates collected will be paid back on appeal. To ensure that the revaluation is revenue-neutral for the Treasury, businesses are charged to cover the cost of these pay-outs.
However, the government has now increased its estimate to six per cent. According to analysis by business rates experts Gerald Eve, this amounts to a £3bn charge for businesses over the next five years.
Answering questions from the communities committee today, Javid said the estimate was increased because the Treasury lost money in the last business rates revaluation in 2010.
“Clearly there are lessons learned from that," he said. "The exchequer doesn’t want to have to lose out and find the money elsewhere."
The new estimate had been checked independently by the OBR for the first time, he said, and it was given the green light.
"The OBR also agreed that with the data that was available that this was an estimate that was fiscally neutral," he said.

SIBU, Oct 21 — Community leaders in Sarawak have been reminded to play their roles in disseminating government policies to the people.
Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg said this had always been what they were supposed to do through an administrative system where interaction between community leaders and the government was created during Rajah Brooke’s era.
“This system has been maintained until now. No other states in the country has the posts for community leaders such as temenggung, pemanca, penghulu and tuai rumah.
“These community leaders are respected by the community and they become the frontliners in advising the people on government policies,” he said during a Meet-the-People dinner function here tonight.
The system had always been the concept of administration in Sarawak and that was why when the Federal government under Pakatan Harapan wanted to introduce the Village Community Management Council (MPKK), Sarawak was against it, he said.
“Only Sarawakians know how to manage Sarawak, we exercise a harmonious approach and encourage people of different races to live together in peace in the state,” said the Chief Minister who advised the community leaders to work according to Sarawak’s customs and maintain the prosperity of the state.
On the development of the central region of the state, Abang Johari said a lot of major projects had been implemented in the area in the past three years, especially on the infrastructure development by the Regional Corridor Development Authority (RECODA) and the Upper Rajang Development Agency (URDA).
“Why we did it? Because we know the rural dwellers needed it and we wanted to develop the economic structure in the rural areas,” he said.
The rich resources available in the rural areas will not benefit the state unless the government can manage and give added value to the resources, he said.
At the event, he also presented certificates of appointment to 242 community leaders from Sibu, Sarikei and Mukah divisions. — Bernama

The official data showed that last year 25 suicide attacks took place while this year the number was decreased to eight only.

(MENAFN - IANS) Mumbai, May 5 (IANS) The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday provided big relief to banks that fear increased provisioning for non-performing assets (NPA) amidst the pandemic would seriously dent their capital.
In order to mitigate the pandemic related stress on banks and as a measure to enable capital conservation, the RBI has now allowed banks to utilise 100 per cent of floating provisions or countercyclical provisioning buffer held by them as on December 31, 2020 for making specific provisions for non-performing assets.
What this would mean is that banks may not have to dip into their capital for fresh provisioning on new NPAs but could provide cover for such bad assets through floating provisions already existing in the system.
To see that the measure is used only selectively, such action by banks will only be allowed with prior approval of their Boards. Also, such utilisation will be permitted with immediate effect and up to March 31, 2022.

Former minister and Kapu leader Mudragada Padmanabham wrote a letter to AP chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday asking him to extend the five percent reservations to the Kapus in the state.
Padmanabham referred to the Central government’s statement in Parliament about extending 10 per cent reservations for the Economically Backward Sections (EBS). The former minister said that the Central government had said that the state governments have the choice to extend the 10 per cent EWS reservations as per their lists.
The former minister said that the AP government had in 2019 passed an Act giving five per cent reservations to the Kapus. Hence, Padmanabham wanted the chief minister to give the five percent reservations to the Kapus in education and employment.
Padmanabham said that the Kapus have voted for the YSR Congress in the last 2019 elections and would vote for the party in the next election if the five per cent reservation was given to them. He also said that people, including Kapus, respect late NTR and Dr YSR who worked for the welfare of the people.
The former minister wanted Jagan Mohan Reddy to give the reservations to the Kapus and fulfil their long pending dream. He said that people of the Kapu community were waiting for the Jagan Mohan Reddy government to give them the benefit at least now.
It is now to be seen what the Jagan Mohan Reddy government would do on the key issue as he prepares for the 2024 big battle.

Lebanese PM says world abandoned Palestinians
(MENAFN) On Monday, Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat lamented that Palestinians in Gaza have been "abandoned."
"The Palestinian people in Gaza have been abandoned amid the siege, shelling and sniper fire," Jumblat tweeted.
"As if there is no Arab League, international community, a so-called United Nations or anyone," he added.
"I salute the people of Gaza and may God have mercy on the martyr Abdul Fattah Abdul Nabi and the rest of the martyrs," Jumblat went on to say.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators converged Friday on the Gaza Strip's 45-kilometer-long (28-mile) eastern border with Israel to demand their right to return to their ancestral homes in historical Palestine. In anticipation of the mass demonstrations, Israel deployed thousands of troops along the border. In addition to the 15 martyrs, the attacks injured nearly 1,500 victims
Dubbed the "Great March of Return," the protests also intended to pressure Israel to lift its more than decade-long blockade of Gaza.

NTFC Supporters Trust accepts that the re-naming of Sixfields Stadium reflects today's commercial pressures across the world of football.
We believe that football supporters will always refer to the stadium as Sixfields, its geographical location.
Indeed, mindful of the likelihood of short-term naming deals for the stadium, Sixfields will always be Sixfields.
We do though understand that the football club needs to attract new investment to grow Northampton Town off the field, and the team on it.
And we welcome the fact that the investor is local with a specialist training background.
We will always be supportive of local investment in the expectation that the club will in turn invest strongly in its local footballing talent and its loyal supporter base.
Sixfields was built in 1994 as a community stadium, by the people of Northampton for the people of Northampton.
The Trust will always strive to ensure that the club, and its stadium, remains firmly rooted in the community it serves.

LAHORE:Ameer, Jamaat e Islami, Pakistan, Senator Siraj ul Haq, has strongly condemned the conviction of Akhwanul Muslimoon leaders and workers by what he dubbed a so-called court in Egypt and said that the silence of the Pakistan government and the media on this issue was surprising.
In a statement here, he called upon the government to demand from the Egyptian rulers to review these convictions and immediately release Dr Mursi. He said that Egypt was an important country of the Muslim world and the grave injustice being done there was having devastating effects on the Egypt and its people.
The JI chief said that in the beginning, the elected government of Dr Mursi was unlawfully and immorally toppled by the army after which thousands of Akhwanul Muslimoon leaders and workers were jailed for lodging protest over the military coup against Dr Mursi. He said that on Sept. 9, a so called Egyptian court had pronounced death sentence against 75 persons besides life term to 74 others. He said that the UN and Amnesty International had condemned these trials as unjust and a murder of justice.
Stating that the Pakistan government’s silence over these judicial murders was most surprising, the JI chief said it was the moral responsibility of the government to raise its voice against this grave injustice. He said the Egyptian government planned to convict more than seven hundred people in this case but the Pakistan media was completely silent.
Sirajul Haq said it was surprising that the human rights associations and rights bodies raise hue and cry over for the rights of animals, even birds, but their tongues were gagged on the oppression against the Muslims. He said that the Muslims were undergoing tyranny in Kashmir, Palestine, Myanmar and several other parts of the world but there was no protest over that from any quarter.

India lost more than 10 million jobs in 2018, claims think tank
More than 10 million jobs were lost in India last year, according to Manish Tewari, a spokesperson for the Indian National Congress party, citing a recent report by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), an Indian think tank.
The number runs contrary to the claims of India’s ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that the country’s employment is growing, and suggests that the BJP-led coalition government has not managed to deliver on its goal of creating 20 million new jobs every year, said Tewari.
According to the report, about 408 million people were employed in 2017, but that number fell to only about 397 million in 2018.
Based on the report’s figures, more than 80% of the losses were in women’s jobs, and more than 90% were located in rural India, said Tewari.
He added that the country’s unemployment rate has increased to 7.4% in December, 2018.


Federal Minister for National Food and Security Syed Fakhar Imam Monday said that India’s narrow and myopic outlook had ostracized 8 million Kashmiris and called upon the world to immediately act to avoid any untoward incident since these two nuclear powers Pakistan and India were looking at each other eyeball to eyeball.
He was chairing a Seminar on Kashmir organized by Jammu Kashmir Self Determination Movement International on the Defence here along with President Azad Jammu and Kashmir Sultan Mehmood Chaudhary. The event was also attended by numerous MPs of United Kingdom, parliamentarians and civil rights activists.
Fakhar Imam praised the services of Syed Ali Geelani and reiterated that the decision of Quaid-e-Azam to create Pakistan had once again been validated by the Hindutva policy of Indian PM Narendra Modi regarding Kashmir.
He said that PM Modi was trying to change the demographics of Kashmir.
The minister said that United Nations had on numerous occasions discussed the issue of Kashmir in the aftermath of the illegal and unilateral action of India on 5th August 2019, which proved that Kashmir was a disputed territory.
He reiterated that the status of Kashmir was as a disputed territory.
Fakhar said that the world had started to open its eyes to the human rights violations in Kashmir which had been highlighted by international media such as NY Times, Washington Post, Wallstreet Journal etc.
Fakhar said that the emerging strategic partnership between USA, Japan, Australia and India had allowed India to expand its hegemonic designs in the region.
He said that India’s ethos had completely changed under the RSS ideology of the Modi government.
The minister said that Imran Khan had raised the plight of the Kashmiris on every forum and would continue to do so in the future.
He said that the government of PTI would continue to expose India as an oppressor and aggressor denying the Kashmiris their right of self-determination in violation of the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.
Fakhar said that India had the highest civilian to military ratio (9:1) in Kashmir to suppress their freedom.
India should know that the government of Pakistan and every Pakistani fully supported the people of Kashmir, he added.

In 2020, the president told the country that the vaccine to the Covid-19 was being made by Uganda and was to be ready in 2021. This has not been seen in 2021.

Quaid-e-Azam gave a vision of democratic Pakistan, says Asif Zardari
DUBAI (92 News) – Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has on Thursday said that the Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had given a vision of democratic Pakistan and we have to implement vision and sayings of the founding leader.

(MENAFN- Gulf Times)
More than 270,000 Syrians have fled fighting in the northwest provinces of Idlib and Hama between government forces and rebels since mid-December, a senior UN aid official said on Tuesday.
Camps for the displaced are overstretched, forcing many to seek shelter in some 160 makeshift settlements in Idlib, assistant-secretary general for humanitarian affairs Ursula Mueller told the Security Council.
"During these cold and wet winter months, many families have nothing else than improvised tents which they share with others," she said.
With Russian military backing, Syrian troops launched an offensive in late 2017 against jihadists and allied groups in Idlib, the last province still fully outside the government's control in the nearly seven-year war.
"Airstrikes and fighting in southern Idlib and northern Hama have resulted in over 270,000 displacements since December 15," said Mueller.
At least 16 hospitals and clinics were attacked in Idlib last month alone, she added.
Further north, in the Afrin area, some 15,000 people have been displaced within the district and another 1,000 have fled to neighboring Aleppo governorate, said Mueller.
Turkey launched air strikes and shelling on the border region on January 20, targeting the Kurdish YPG militia that it considers a terror group.
Mueller told the council that Syria had blocked all aid convoys to besieged areas in January after allowing only two relief shipments to reach hard-to-reach areas last month.
Access to other parts of Syria are being hampered, with local authorities requesting changes to aid operations in the northeast, she said.
The new hurdles in deliveries of food and medical supplies came after UN aid chief Mark Lowcock visited Syria earlier this month.
More than 13.1 million Syrians are in need of humanitarian aid including 6.1 million who have been displaced within the country.

Speaking to the press from Thika town, Urithi Housing Society Chairman Samuel Maina said that the recent shape in politics is unpredictable and leaves them in uncertainty as to whether their businesses are secure.
Maina said that it is upon the government to protect them as a business community and ensure that no matter what political step the country will take their businesses will remain secure.
He added that the untold effects caused by the political intolerance on the economy have forced them to consider the ‘wait and see’ aspect because they don’t know what you expect tomorrow or in the future of the country.
We are living in uncertainty and this has lowered down the micro-economy and thus has massive effects in the macro-economy of the country and the ripple effects to the economy is slowly showing course, Maina expressed.
He stated that the ripple effect on the economy is slowly causing a dry spell in the food sector and that very soon the country might face drought and food crisis.
The country has been trying to feed its people but since we commenced the campaign mood meaningful business went stale and we have experienced a lot of losses including opportunities, lack of funds from donors and other factors, he added.
Maina called for political tolerance adding that the country has so far in this political year experienced massive losses in all sectors and chasing away investors.
“It is incumbent upon the government to secure and assure the business community of their security and that of their businesses and we hereby call upon the government to put in place measures that will ensure that no matter what political state we are in the economy will stabilize itself within time, he said.
He has warned Kenyans that the effects of this political environment might be experienced for years to come as the country has taken years to establish the economic status we are in as the political occurrences in this electioneering period have been causing terror among Kenyans.
The effects of this years politics will be felt across the country for over four years because waking up from a stale economy will take time. It is unfortunate that politics have taken over our peoples minds and they have forgotten that business has no ethnicity, tribe or political affiliations, Maina cautioned.
