Iraqi army claims major explosion at a base south of Baghdad

Saturday, April 20, 2024

The Iraqi military says a member of a pro-Iranian militia has been killed and eight others injured in a massive explosion at a base south of Baghdad.

The Iraqi military has said that no drones or fighter aircraft were seen in the area at the time of or before the blast. The Iran-backed group Popular Mobilization Forces itself has said that the blast was the result of an attack.

This explosion has occurred at a time when tension between Israel and Iran is at its peak. On Friday, April 19, 2024, Israel attacked the city of Isfahan in Iran, which was already anticipated. Earlier on the night of Saturday, April 13, 2024, Iran attacked Israel with more than 300 drones and missiles.

However, Israel claimed that it foiled the attack with the help of its allies America, Britain, France and Jordan. On April 1, 2024, there was an attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria, in which many of its top commanders were killed.

Israel did not make any direct comment on this attack, but Iran held Israel responsible for this attack. In response to this, Iran attacked Israel.

Iran's Foreign Minister has warned that if Israel attacks its interests, his country will respond quickly and to the maximum extent.

It is wrong to say that nothing happened in India before 2014: Economist Jean Dreze

It is wrong to say that nothing happened in India before 2014: Economist Jean Dreze

Saturday, April 20, 2024

Famous economist and social activist Jean Dreze believes that the current form of India's economy is going to put India in a worse condition in the coming five years.

Jean Dreze said that this will increase social inequality on a large scale. This will trouble the common citizen of India. Because, there has been no increase in the real wages of the people in the last 10 years during the tenure of the current Narendra Modi government of India.

Jean Dreze said that the government's figures are exposing the shortcomings of the economy. We need to worry about this.

Jean Dreze and Ritika Kheda, Professor of Economics at IIT Delhi, gave facts related to the economy along with figures in a press conference held at Ranchi Press Club.

This conference was organized by Save Democracy Morcha. During this, the growth in India's economy and social condition since 1951 after India's independence and the development during the tenure of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government till 2014 were also compared.

Where did India stand before Modi government?

Jean Dreze said, "It is wrong to say that nothing happened in India before the year 2014. The per capita income (constant price) of the people of India was only 100 in 1951, which increased to 511 in the year 2011. Life Expectancy It was only 32 years in 1951, which had increased to 66 years by 2011."

"In the same period, the literacy rate of women increased from 9 percent to 65 percent and that of men increased from 27 percent to 82 percent. The infant mortality rate was controlled drastically. In 1951, there were 180 deaths out of every 1000 newborns. That number came down to 44 in the year 2011. This is the achievement before the Modi government."

Economy went down under Modi government: Jean Dreze

Jean Dreze said, "Gross national income (constant price) was 6.8 percent in the UPA government, which came down to 5.5 percent in the current Modi government of BJP. Real consumption came down from 5 percent to 3 percent. The annual growth rate of agricultural laborers was 6.8 percent between 2004-05 and 2014-15. It decreased to minus 1.3 percent during the year 2014-15 to 2021-22."

Census not conducted, benefits not received

Jean Dreze and Ritika Kheda said that the Government of India did not conduct the census in the year 2021. This was the first time after independence, when the census was not conducted. Due to this, 44 lakh eligible people in the Indian state of Jharkhand alone are deprived of the facilities of the public distribution system. The number of such deprived people across India is more than 100 million.

Names of schemes changed, it caused many problems: Ritika Kheda

Economist Ritika Kheda said, "The names of many old schemes were changed in the Modi government. He not only changed the names of the schemes running from the time of the UPA government, but also re-branded the schemes of his government. For example, the name of the wellness center running under the Ayushman scheme has now been changed to Ayushman Arogya Mandir. When the Kerala government appealed to keep its old name for Malayali speaking people, the government did not agree to it. Due to this, the people of Kerala are not getting its benefits."

Where is the economy?

Ritika Khera said, "Leaders in the Indian government proudly say that India has come third in the world in terms of GDP, but in terms of per capita income, India's rank is at number 120 among 170 countries of the world. What kind of growth is this? Questions should be raised on this."

What did Iranian media say about Israel's attack?

Friday, April 19, 2024

Iran is not giving any special importance to the Israeli attack on Isfahan on the night of Thursday, 18 April 2024. Iranian officials have said there was no attack on Isfahan.

Iran says there were some drones that were shot down. Israel has not given any statement regarding the attack.

But American officials have said that Israel has attacked Iran and many questions are being raised on this topic. Isfahan is considered a center of important nuclear and military-industrial facilities.

However, Hossein Delirian, a spokesman for the National Center of Cybersecurity and the Iran Space Agency, denied on Twitter that there was any direct missile attack from outside the country.

"There have been no air strikes from outside the border on Isfahan or other parts of the country," Hossein Delirian said.

Hossein Delirian said that Israel had "only made one unsuccessful attempt to fly a quadcopter drone, and the quadcopter was also shot down."

Iran is presenting this attack as minor.

Iran's state broadcaster IRIB and the country's English-language channel Press TV reported the incident in breaking news segments, regular bulletins and tickers, but it was downplayed.

"Several drones have been shot down," an IRIB correspondent said.

"There is an atmosphere of peace in the city. People are coming out of their homes," said another correspondent live on Irene from Isfan.

The reporter said that the sounds heard in the sky throughout the night were probably from air defense systems targeting several mini drones in the skies over Isfahan.

Iran's other state broadcaster IRIB2 ran a continuous live feed from Isfahan in the morning.

Fars News Agency reported that the city's nuclear infrastructure is completely safe.

Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with Iran's armed forces, showed Isfahan's air force base, airport and nuclear facilities in several videos showing calm there.

Flights from Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz and western provinces were temporarily suspended but were resumed a short time later.

Following the Israeli attack, some flight services to Iran have been resumed after being halted for some time.

Siavash Mihandoost, commander of the air defense system of Iran's Isfahan city, told state television that an attack that took place on the morning of Friday, April 19, 2024, has been foiled.

Siavash Mihandoost said that the sounds that were heard in Isfahan on the morning of Friday, April 19, 2024, were not an explosion.

After Israel's latest action, Russia has said that it is in touch with both Tel Aviv and Tehran.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia has made it clear to Israel that Iran does not want to escalate the issue any further.

Israel's neighboring country Jordan has warned of the 'danger of regional tension'.

Jordan has also appealed to end the actions taken by Iran and Israel against each other.

On the other hand, police in Paris have arrested a person who entered the Iranian Embassy.

French media quoted an eyewitness as saying that a suspicious person was entering the Iranian embassy.

Eyewitnesses said that the suspect had a grenade or some explosive in his hand.

Iranian Army Chief Major General Seyed Abdulrahim Mousavi has given an interview to Iranian TV on the Isfahan blast.

Major General Seyed Abdulrahim Mousavi said that the sound of the explosions actually came from an anti-aircraft defense system which was activated after seeing something suspicious.

Major General Syed Abdulrahim Mousavi assured the general public that there was no damage.

America has also said that it is working to reduce tension.
