In 1992, Enron, a prominent U.S. company, planned to establish a power plant in Dabhol, Maharashtra, with a proposed investment of $2 billion. However, fierce local opposition stalled the project, leading Enron to file a $600 million compensation lawsuit against the Indian government.

Under the Vajpayee government, Harish Salve, a distinguished Indian lawyer, was appointed to defend India’s interests in this high-stakes international arbitration.

Shockingly, P. Chidambaram, a prominent Congress leader, served as Enron’s legal counsel, advocating against India’s interests.

When the UPA government came to power in 2004, with Chidambaram as Finance Minister, he could no longer directly represent Enron but continued to provide legal advice, reportedly favouring the company.

In a stunning move, the UPA government removed Harish Salve from the case and appointed Khawar Qureshi, a UK-based lawyer of Pakistani origin, to represent India.

The decision to entrust a sensitive case involving billions in taxpayer money to a foreign lawyer with ties to Pakistan raised serious questions about the Congress-led government’s judgment and priorities.

Despite India’s strong position in the arbitration, the questionable decisions - Chidambaram’s prior ties to Enron and the appointment of Qureshi led to a predictable outcome: India lost the case.

The government was forced to pay substantial settlements of $800 million to Bechtel & General Electric, who had acquired Enron’s stakes after its bankruptcy. Additionally, Qureshi was paid exorbitant legal fees, further burdening Indian taxpayers.

Notably, Khawar Qureshi later represented Pakistan in the Kulbhushan Jadhav case at the International Court of Justice, underscoring the irony of Congress’s choice.
And Guess who represented India - Harish Salve, who won the case and stayed the death sentence of Yadav, along with getting him consular access, only for a Fee of Rs 1.

This episode, often downplayed by the media, highlights a disturbing pattern of mismanagement and questionable loyalties under the Congress-led UPA.

Their handling of the Dabhol case reflects a legacy of decisions that prioritised foreign interests and compromised India’s sovereignty, leaving taxpayers to bear the cost of their failures.

It's SCARY to think about their ascent to the throne once Anti incumbency overpowers the Modi governance even if by the misinformation like Modi will finish reservation.

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

I don’t mind anything in this video.

What I most worry about is the level of intelligence displayed. It’s being televised for the world to see. If you had issues, you could have expressed them behind closed doors. This family is the heir apparent to the throne once Anti incumbency eventually catches up. Future is bleak!

It is misfortune of the country that one of the biggest party is owned(not controlled) by a foreign national and his clown son.
It is anything but natural they dislike the song.

[Amit Malviya @amitmalviya]

This single video has stripped away the carefully cultivated veneer of congeniality and exposed something far more troubling.

The impulse to disrupt or diminish Vande Mataram, a song that stirred generations of freedom fighters and became one of the most powerful expressions of India’s national awakening, will not sit well with Indians.

Vande Mataram is an emotion. It is the sound of a civilisation awakening to its own strength. It stirred the hearts of revolutionaries, gave courage to those who stood up to colonial rule, and became inseparably woven into India’s freedom struggle.

When its words are sung, they evoke not just the land, but the rivers, fields, soil and spirit of Bharat. It carries the memory of sacrifice and the unmistakable yearning for freedom. Few songs possess the power to turn patriotism from an idea into an emotion felt deep within the soul.

Perhaps Sonia Gandhi will never fully understand the profound Indianness of Vande Mataram. But she must understand why India has embraced it: because it reflects our civilisational ethos, our history, our collective memory and, ultimately, who we are.

You can debate politics. You can disagree on ideology. But treating a song that has stirred the patriotic imagination of generations with anything less than reverence is a different matter altogether.

Vande Mataram. 🇮🇳

[Facts @BefittingFacts]

Sonia Gandhi pauses her speech after hearing the Azaan, but she wanted to stop Vande Mataram.

[Amit Malviya @amitmalviya]

For the first time, the entire ‘Vande Mataram’ was sung at the Congress headquarters on Independence Day.

After the initial stanzas of Vande Mataram were sung, Sonia Gandhi became agitated and asked for the rendition to be stopped rather than played in full. Rahul Gandhi too appeared to signal that it should end. They were told to let it continue. The message was clear: the complete National Song is now to be respected under the new legal framework, and intentional obstruction or disturbance can invite serious consequences.

They eventually fell in line, and Vande Mataram was sung in full. 🇮🇳

For decades, the Gandhis and the Congress have displayed an uneasy relationship with the idea of a culturally confident, civilisationally rooted India.

That discomfort stood exposed, ironically, on Independence Day.

Vande Mataram. 🇮🇳

पहली बार स्वतंत्रता दिवस पर कांग्रेस मुख्यालय में संपूर्ण ‘वंदे मातरम्’ का गायन हुआ। 🇮🇳

‘वंदे मातरम्’ की शुरुआती पंक्तियों के बाद सोनिया गांधी असहज हो गईं और पूरे गीत के गायन के बजाय इसे रोकने के लिए कहा। राहुल गांधी ने भी इसे रोकने का संकेत दिया। लेकिन उन्हें इसे जारी रखने के लिए कहा गया।

संदेश स्पष्ट था: राष्ट्रगीत ‘वंदे मातरम्’ का पूर्ण सम्मान किया जाना चाहिए और जानबूझकर इसमें व्यवधान डालने या इसका अपमान करने पर गंभीर परिणाम हो सकते हैं।

आखिरकार, दोनों को पीछे हटना पड़ा और पूरा ‘वंदे मातरम्’ गाया गया। 🇮🇳

दशकों से गांधी परिवार और कांग्रेस की एक ऐसे भारत की अवधारणा के साथ असहजता दिखाई देती रही है, जो अपनी सांस्कृतिक चेतना और सभ्यतागत मूल्यों में दृढ़ता से निहित हो।

विडंबना देखिए कि स्वतंत्रता दिवस के अवसर पर ही यह असहजता फिर उजागर हो गई।

वंदे मातरम्। 🇮🇳

[Yuvraj Gokul @yuvrajsays]

VANDEMATARAM completely sang at AICC Head Quarters. After 2 stanzas Kharge Ji and Sonia Ji shown starting frustration. But Pappu was not even aware of the situation. He realised it only after Kharge ji's panic reaction.

🇮🇳🇺🇸🇨🇳 India is playing both America and China... and winning.

Ian Bremmer called it the strongest geopolitical position of any middle power on the planet, not because India is the biggest military or the richest economy, but because it refuses to pick a side and still gets invited to every table.

Look at the map, India sits in the Quad with the U.S., Japan, and Australia, tightening security ties, sharing intel, buying weapons.

At the same time it keeps a stable (if cool) relationship with China, its biggest trading partner, and leads the Global South in a way Beijing never could.

Most developing countries trust New Delhi more than they trust the Chinese creditor, and that’s the pivot-state advantage: Economic scale big enough to matter, geography that gives it insulation, diplomatic room that smaller countries can only dream of.

While Europe frets about American reliability and everyone else gets squeezed, India deepens partnerships without locking itself into anyone’s dependency.

In a G-zero world, where no single power is writing the rules anymore, this flexibility is pure power.

Influence increasingly belongs to the countries that can work with competing giants and still walk away independent. India is already doing it, and the gap between it and everyone else is only getting wider.

For the UK, @TheEconomist opines that enforcing Sharia law alongside any British uniform civil codes "poses problems."

BREAKING: The UAE has released several billion dollars of Iran's frozen assets held in UAE banks, including 2 tonnes of gold worth $283 million, with the goal being that Iran spares the UAE from future attacks, according to multiple senior sources in Tehran with knowledge of the transfers.

The assets were flown to Iran aboard a Boeing 737-7KK (A6-RJA) operated by UAE Royal Jet, from Abu Dhabi to Tehran's Mehrabad Airport and Karaj's Payam Airport on August 11 and 12, each staying one hour before returning.

On June 8 the same plane flew from Abu Dhabi to Tehran's Mehrabad transferring $3 billion, multiple Iranian officials told Reuters in June.

CJP was planning a Jantar Mantar 2.0, and then this happened:

Journalist: “Today, the Punjab High Court confirmed the paper leak.”

Dipke: “We are here to talk about our next move.”

Journalist: “But thousands of students have been affected in Punjab.”

Dipke: “We will have to study the matter before making any comment.”

Journalist: “This is a High Court order.”

Dipke: “I will comment after reading the High Court order.”

As soon as the question is about their masters, they forget all about the movement.

#WATCH | Verona, Italy: On FCRA Bill, Analyst and Advisor, India-Italy relations, Carlo Lombardi says, "... Let's not forget that the first FCRA was passed by the Indian Parliament in 1976. It was done by Indira Gandhi. It was then overhauled in 2010 by Manmohan Singh's government, and it was actually harsher in the day. We also have to consider that the technology that is spreading all around the world is making this kind of influence extremely easy. Financial openness also allows for the transfer of funds through many channels that didn't exist in the past. Historically, there's really nothing new. My basic point is that NGOs are great; they do a lot of good work for humanity, but they are also an instrument of foreign policy. This is not a secret. In 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy was created in the United States and became the mother of all NGOs. And one of its co-founders, Allen Weinstein, actually went on record in the Washington Post in 1991 saying, "Much of what the NED, National Endowment for Democracy, does today, the CIA did covertly 25 years earlier." So, NGOs are also an instrument of foreign policy. And it's only right that a government knows who's funding what and for what reasons, and assures that the money which is coming in from foreign NGOs is actually used for the purposes which are stated and not misused. For example, money coming in for educational purposes, and then the NGO uses it for protests against the government, driving a political agenda under the umbrella of charitable, non-profit goodwill organisations..."
