DMK express disapproval on CHOGM participation amidst protests

Chennai, Nov 16 (ANI): As the CHOGM meet witnessed the presence of India’s Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid in lieu of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh even after huge protests from the Tamil Nadu leaders and civilians, DMK Spokesperson TKS Elangovan expressed his disapproval over the same. He said that India should have gave Sri Lanka a reply on its atrocities inflicted on the Tamils during the war. Elangovan also said that the meet is an insult to Indian Tamils. Further, he said that the scheme implemented by the Indian government for the relief of Tamils on the island nation is benefitted by the Sri Lankan community and that there is no use of the same for Tamils in that case.

FPCCI chief favours special trade status for India

New Delhi, Nov 4 (ANI): President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), Zubair Ahmed Malik, has pitched for Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status for India and liberalized visa regime to boost bilateral trade. Malik said the focus is to improve trade between two neighbours. Trade has long been tied to political issues between the hostile neighbours. The MFN status would help normalize trade relations between the two nuclear-armed rivals by ending heavy restrictions on what India is allowed to export across the border. New Delhi granted its neighbour such a status in the mid-nineties. Nov 16, 2013
