Ceremonial reception to Canadian PM Justin Trudeau on Day 6 of his week-long India tour

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]At the fag end of his week-long India visit, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was given a ceremonial reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Friday, his sixth day in the country. He landed in India on February 17.

The visit of Canadian PM comes after the visit of  Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada in April 2015, before Trudeau assumed office in November that year.

On Friday morning, he was received by President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and members of the Union Cabinet, with Modi welcoming him with a hug ahead of the ceremonial reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Trudeau had a busy day. Trudeau met with External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Friday and paid tribute to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat.

The delay in formal welcome had given rise to speculation about cold-shouldering the visiting dignitary, attributing this to Trudeau’s perceived softness to Khalistani separatist elements in his country and providing them a platform for voicing their demands.

After arriving in India, Trudeau and his family have visited Agra, Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Amritsar. While Modi did not accompany Trudeau to Ahmedabad, a meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh in Amritsar on Wednesday was organised only at the last moment.

On Wednesday, the Trudeau family had visited Amritsar’s Golden Temple, along with his wife and children before meeting the Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, where, the latter shared the concerns about militancy issue related to the separatist movement of Khalistan.

On Thursday, fresh storm blew after it came to light that the Canadian High Commission here had extended an invitation to a convicted Khalistan separatist, Jaspa Atwal, for a reception in honour of Trudeau. The High Commission then rescinded the invitation while the Indian External Affairs Ministry said that it was ascertaining how a visa was issued to Atwal who holds a Canadian passport.

Trudeau later said that the matter was being taken “extremely seriously” and that Atwal should never have received an invitation.

Matters seemed to have been sorted out now. On Thursday evening, Modi said that he looked forward to the bilateral meeting on Friday. “I appreciate his (Trudeau’s) deep commitment to ties between our two countries,” Modi tweeted..

In his second tweet, PM Modi posted a picture of him playfully tweaking Elle-Grace’s ears with Trudeau smilingly looking on during a visit to Canada in 2015. He said, “I hope PM @Justin Trudeau and his family had a very enjoyable stay so far. I particularly look forward to meeting his children Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien. Here is a picture from my 2015 Canada visit, when I’d met PM Trudeau and Ella-Grace.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Trudeau and his team were having talks with Indian PM Modi and his team of ministers and officials during the day on further strengthening India-Canada bilateral relations.

Har Jarurat Hogi Puri: Congress releases campaign song ahead of Delhi elections

Congress leaders, including Delhi Chief Devendra Yadav and national spokesperson Pawan Khera, expressed confidence in the anthem’s impact, emphasising its ability to capture the public mood and convey the party’s commitment to resolving Delhi’s pressing issues.

The Congress party launched its campaign anthem, “Har Jarurat Hogi Puri, Dilli Mein Congress Hai Jaruri” (“Every Need Will Be Fulfilled, Congress is Essential in Delhi”), on Thursday, marking a significant step in its strategy for the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.

The 2-minute 48-second song serves as a potent weapon in the party’s arsenal, aiming to capture the attention of Delhi’s electorate and sway their votes in its favour.

The anthem’s lyrics directly confront the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), highlighting the prevalent disillusionment among Delhi’s residents regarding the current governance.

It boldly addresses critical local issues, painting a vivid picture of the city’s shortcomings under AAP’s rule. The polluted Yamuna River and the subpar quality of drinking water serve as central themes, with the powerful line “Yamuna Saaf Nahi, Pani Na Saaf Hai” (The Yamuna is not clean, the water is not clean) encapsulating the public’s growing discontent.

Beyond highlighting the existing problems, the Congress anthem meticulously outlines its own vision for Delhi, presenting a compelling alternative to the incumbent AAP government. The party pledges free electricity for households consuming up to 300 units, a promise designed to resonate with the city’s residents struggling with rising energy costs.

The ambitious “Pyari Didi Yojana,” promising a monthly allowance of Rs 2,500 to women from low-income families, aims to further strengthen the Congress’ appeal among the electorate.

Addressing the widespread concern about women’s safety in the city, the anthem criticizes the AAP government’s perceived lack of focus on this crucial issue, arguing that despite promises, women continue to feel unsafe. This pointed critique underscores the Congress’ commitment to addressing this critical aspect of governance, distinguishing its approach from its rivals.

The release of the anthem is strategically timed, closely following the BJP’s launch of its campaign song, “Jo Ram Ko Lekar Aaye Unka Raj Hoga Dilli Mein” (“Those who carry Ram will rule Delhi”). The timing underscores the intensity of the upcoming electoral battle, with both the Congress and BJP vying for the support of Delhi’s voters.

Congress leaders, including Delhi Chief Devendra Yadav and national spokesperson Pawan Khera, expressed confidence in the anthem’s impact, emphasising its ability to capture the public mood and convey the party’s commitment to resolving Delhi’s pressing issues.

The anthem’s release signifies the Congress party’s full-fledged entry into the electoral fray, setting the stage for a closely contested election on February 5th, with results due on February 8th. Over 1.5 crore voters will play a crucial role in deciding the fate of the 70-member Delhi Assembly.

ChatGPT outage affects thousands of users globally, OpenAI reacts

On January 23, OpenAI’s popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT, suffered a significant global outage, leaving millions of users unable to access the service. The disruption affected multiple access points, including the web interface, the mobile application, and even integrations on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). This widespread failure quickly drew significant attention, with reports flooding in from users worldwide.

The outage tracking website, Downdetector, registered a surge in user reports, exceeding a thousand complaints within a short period. This volume underscored the scale of the disruption and the significant impact on ChatGPT’s user base.

The majority of these reports indicated a complete inability to use the chatbot, highlighting the severity of the problem. A smaller percentage of users reported encountering difficulties with the website or API, suggesting a less comprehensive but still noticeable impact.

OpenAI swiftly acknowledged the outage, publishing updates on their dedicated status page. This transparency, while offering little in the way of immediate solutions, served to reassure users that the company was actively addressing the situation.

The official statements consistently described the problem as “degraded performance” and “elevated error rates” within the API, hinting at underlying technical issues that required investigation. However, specific details regarding the root cause remained undisclosed, pending a more thorough examination.

According to reports, the outage commenced around 5 PM IST and persisted for several hours. The lack of a definitive timeline and the ongoing nature of the disruption underlined the complexity of the problem and the challenges faced by OpenAI’s engineering teams in resolving the issue.

As of the latest updates, the exact cause of the outage remains under investigation by OpenAI. The company is actively working to restore full functionality and provide a more comprehensive explanation once the underlying problem has been identified and rectified.
