Ever since its independence, India’s foreign policy couldn’t break shackles and this prevented the country from emphasising and imposing its view point in more emphatic manner on other countries and on the world.

This resulted in even tiny nations take India for granted. Right after independence India depended on Britain for economic support and drifted towards Russia, on the pretext of non-aligned moment, forcing USA to side with Pakistan in the cold war regime.

In order to impress Muslims and not to antagonise their feelings, India ignored Israel for many decades and though India voted for Arab and other OPEC nations on various forums, they always shocked India on Kashmir issue, taking anti India stand.

India lost precious territory to China and Pakistan due to blurred foreign policies followed by Congress party and lack of vision prior to Independence resulted in breaking of the United India to various tiny nations. India lost friendly territory Tibet and even paid heavy price by ignoring Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal for decades with China and other enemy nations taking advantage of it.

Though BJP led NDA govt headed by PM Modi is pushing India on the world stage with aggression, its obsession and confusion regarding tackling Pakistan is stalling its march. Congress earlier committed the blunder of giving back Pak entire territory for nothing and BJP did the same mistake during Kargil war. Unless until India develops clear cut foreign policy it continues to make fool of itself.

Special Investigation Team (SIT) which was formed as part of investigation on Tapping of Phones of AP CM and other TDP leaders started series of questions to the representatives of Uninor, Docomo, Vodafone, Reliance and Idea.

On first day SIT has interrogated them for 11 hours and will continue the investigation today also.  Reportedly, SIT takeover CDs from the service providers of Uninor, Docomo and Vodafone.

As per buzz, very crucial information is there in CDs and SIT get key information from Uninor, Docomo and Idea at the time of investigation. AP Police gave notices to 12 Network Service Providers to attend for interrogation at Vijayawada.

As per buzz, two of the service providers handed over their call data information to SIT officials. SIT confirmed the role of Telangana ACB DSP Ashok Kumar and other officer Iqbal Siddiq in Phone Tapping.

SIT has gathered enough proofs to serve notices to two of the Telangana Officers. Service Providers blamed that two officials ordered to Tapping of some numbers. Service providers said that they received written requests from some of officers who held key positions in Telangana.

They also agreed that Telangana officers compelled them to provide numbers of AP CM, AP Ministers and other Telangana TDP leaders. SIT officials warned them for arrest if service providers don’t provide the call data.

If reports coming from the Telangana Raashtra Samithi camp are to be believed, sources say that the Congress leader and also senior actress Jayasudha will be joining the pink party on July 1.  Jayasudha had a meeting with TRS president and CM K Chandrasekhar Rao today where seems to have discussed the issue in detail.

Sources say that Jaya along with her supporters, would be admitted into TRS party in the presence of KCR and other senior leaders on July 1. There are reports that Jayasudha will be contesting the Sanathnagar by-elections based on TRS ticket.

She is expected to be assigned the key task of garnering higher support for the TRS, ahead of the crucial elections to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), which seems to have become a
matter of immense prestige for the TRS. Meanwhile there are reports that Congress is might be suspending Jayasudha.

Given that Talasani is a TDP MLA still from Sanathnagar technically, if he resigns he is expected to be contesting naturally. But now with TRS planning to field Jaya who once defeated Talasani, as Congress
candidate it would be seen how KCR can accommodate both Jaya and Talasani.

Congress senior leader V Hanumanth Rao on Monday blasted cine actor and Janasena president Pawan Kalyan for keeping quiet on the notorious ‘note-for-vote’ case as he had preached sermons against political corruption while launching his party.

Speaking to the media here, VH asked Pawan, who had proclaimed that he would question corruption wherever it takes place, as to why he was maintaining silence on the recent scam.

Alleging that AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, a “dacoit” was caught red handed in the shady affair, VH demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi open his mouth on the ‘cash-for-vote’ case. He said Congress would go to the people if Chandrababu tried to water down the case.

The Telangana Congress leader also suggested to Governor ESL Narsimhan to pay attention to the problems of the two States instead of visiting temples now and then.

He asked the Telangana State government to close the Horse Racing Clubs located in Hyderabad City.

If the Centre has its way, Governor E S L Narasimhan is most likely to gain control over administration and policing in Hyderabad.

Responding to legal opinion sought by Governor ESL Narasimhan in the ongoing ‘Cash for Vote’ and phone tapping controversies, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi is learnt to have conveyed to the Governor that he could monitor the investigation of both the issues.

According to the AG, Narasimhan, being the Governor of both the States, has special powers under Section 8 of the AP Reorganisation Act as both AP and Telangana have a common capital in Hyderabad. “As such, both AP and Telangana police have a jurisdiction in the city,” the AG clarified.

Under these circumstances, the Governor has all the powers to maintain law and order in Hyderabad.

“Hence, the Governor can summon the two State police chiefs and get them to report to him on these cases and he can monitor them,” the AG opined.

However, sources said it was not a written legal opinion, but the AG conveyed his view to Narasimhan orally. The written order might follow shortly, sources said.
