Congress Legislative Party"&gt;Congress Legislative Party meeting will be held on Friday at Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan, to elect their legislative party leader.

Modalities have been finalised on the formation of the government in Maharashtra between the Congress, Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and all the three parties have, in principle, agreed upon ministerial berths according to their strength in the assembly, sources said on Thursday.

The Common Minimum Programme (CMP) between Congress and NCP has been sealed and will be discussed with the Shiv Sena in Mumbai on Friday, sources added.

Earlier today, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting was held at party interim president Sonia Gandhi's 10 Janpath residence. Several senior leaders including Malikarjun Kharge, Ahmed Patel, AK Antony and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury had attended the meeting.

Maharashtra came under President's Rule on November 12 after all the parties failed to form a government in the state. The BJP, which emerged as the single largest party, could not stake claim to form a government as its ally Shiv Sena remained firm on rotating the Chief Minister's post and equal sharing of Cabinet berths.

Shiv Sena parted its ways with BJP to explore ways to form a government. It, however, failed to prove the support of the required number of MLAs in the time given by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari.

The Governor had then invited NCP, the third-largest party, to prove its ability to form the government failing which President's Rule was imposed in the state.

The Shiv Sena is now holding talks with the Congress and NCP to form a government in Maharashtra.

The BJP won 105 seats in the 288-member assembly followed by Shiv Sena 56, NCP 54 and Congress 44.&nbsp;

Indians account for 93 percent of the total number of visas issued under H4 category by the United States, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told Rajya Sabha on Thursday.

The H4 category permits the spouse of an H-1B visa holder to work in the US.

Replying to a question raised by a Rajya Sabha member about US government move to prevent the spouses of H1B visa holder to get the visa, Jaishankar said that the Donald Trump administration has indicated that it "may review it sometime".

"Ability of spouses of H1B visa holders working in the US to work was introduced in 2015. This category of visa is covered in H4 visa. Indians today account for 93 per cent of a total number of visas issued in this category," said Jaishankar.

"There is a court order to the effect to continue the program. Trump (US President) Administration has indicated that it may review it sometime," he added.

H-4 employment authorisation document (EAD) is an Obama-era rule of 2015 that allowed job opportunities to qualified spouses of H-1B visa holders. The Trump administration has publicly said and also in its court filing that it wants to revoke work permits to H-4 visa holders. Early this month, a US court refused to strike down the H-4 EAD rule.

Meanwhile, when nominated member Swapan Dasgupta asked the External Affairs Minister about the government's position on the work visas, Jaishankar said that New Delhi is constantly in touch with Washington, to persuade them that tapping into "Indian pool talent" will be beneficial. He also noted that numbers of H1B visas have been going up in the last few years even though the rejection rate is coming down.

"We are constantly in touch with the American system, the American government and members of Congress to persuade them that tapping into the Indian talent pool is for our mutual benefits and in that, we have been successful in large measure... Actually, if you look at the number the numbers of H1B visas has been going up in the last few years even though the rejection rate is coming down," he said.

He also pointed out that the number of visas that Indian companies have applied for has come down and denial rate has also gone up.

"Number of visas that Indian companies have applied has come down and denial rate has also come up but they have gone up for all companies, not just Indians companies," Jaishankar said&nbsp;

Four Indian-origin lawmakers have become part of Canada's cabinet as Justin Trudeau unveiled his new team, in his second term as prime minister.

The most notable change in Trudeau 2.0 was the elevation of former foreign minister Chrystia Freeland as the deputy prime minister.

She will also be the in-charge of inter-governmental relations with a focus on ending the alienation of Canada's western provinces.

This, as the country, faces a looming national unity crisis.

Unveiling his 36-member cabinet, Trudeau praised Freeland's role in renegotiating the North American free-trade agreement or NAFTA with the US and Mexico.

The team includes four Indian origin lawmakers.

Navdeep Singh Bains has become the minister of innovation, science and industry.

Bardish Chagger has been appointed as the minister of diversity, inclusion and youth.

Anita Anand has been made the minister of public services and procurement.

Harjit Singh Sajjan has retained his post as the minister of national defence.

After Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi's departure from the Supreme Court, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/justice-sharad-arvind-bobde-47th-chief-justice-of-india-who-advocates-use-of-artificial-intelligence-in-courts-262959">newly appointed&nbsp;CJI,&nbsp;Sharad Arvind Bobde,</a> was welcomed by the Supreme Court Bar Association on Thursday.&nbsp;

Speaking on the occasion and welcoming Bobde, Attorney General of India KK Venugopal raised a rather unusual issue.&nbsp;

He said, "The CJI's tenure should be fixed for at least 3 years and the age of retirement needs to be increased".

Venugopal claimed that short tenures disable the CJI from making reforms and bring about big changes. While former CJI Ranjan Gogoi spent 13 months in office, current CJI SA Bobde will hold office for 17 months.&nbsp;

In 2018, former CJI Ranjan Gogoi had dismissed the idea of a fixed tenure for CJIs.

Gogoi had stated that there were some norms associated with judges'&nbsp;elevation especially with respect to their seniority. Gogoi further added that it may not be a good idea to deny a person the chance of becoming the CJI merely because his tenure would be short.

In 2014, the law commission had recommended fixing the term of the CJI, describing it as a necessary step required for the overhaul of judicial appointments.&nbsp;

The two countries have been locked in trade disputes for months, slapping higher tariffs on each other's products and the US&nbsp;withdrawing a key concession to India.

Tensions on the trade front between the two countries had emerged in June after US President Donald Trump revoked preferential trade privileges, in response to which India imposed tariffs on 28 US products, including almonds and apples.

India was the biggest beneficiary of the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP), a programme designed to help developing countries sell to US consumers.

The Centre on Thursday told the Supreme Court that there is normalcy in Kashmir and the situation which is being depicted about the region is "incorrect."

Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta, representing the Centre, made these contentions on a petition filed by Kashmir Times Editor Anuradha Bhasin on the imposition of communication blockade in the region.

She has alleged that following the revocation of its special status, the Central government had disabled various media activities.

"The petitioner (Anuradha Bhasin) has chosen not to publish the newspaper from Kashmir. It is her wish. There were no restrictions as such. There is normalcy of life in Kashmir. The situation presented and depicted is incorrect," Mehta told a bench headed by Justice N V Ramana.

Mehta said that access to the internet, printers and other facilities was given to the media professionals.

"At regular intervals, media professionals were briefed and provided press briefs. Media kiosks were facilitated at the DCP offices to various media professionals," Mehta said.

While justifying certain restrictions imposed in the region, the Solicitor General said that authorities had applied their minds in imposing or lifting the curbs.

"It is a preventive measure. It is not a long drawn trial. It is not a danger to public life. Ninety-nine per cent people are happy and living a normal life there," he said.

In August, the Central government scrapped Article 370 and bifurcated the erstwhile state into two UTs -- Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Following this, phone lines and the internet were blocked in the region.

Normalcy is gradually returning to Jammu and Kashmir as mobile and landline services have been restored in both UTs and restrictions under Section 144 on movement have been withdrawn or relaxed.

An Indian couple accused of spying on Sikh and Kashmiri communities in Germany went on trial Thursday on charges that carry a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.&nbsp;

The suspects were charged in March and have been named as Manmohan S, 50, and his wife Kanwal Jit K, 51, in keeping with German privacy rules for defendants.

Their trial was being held in a court in Frankfurt.

"Manmohan S agreed... to provide information about Germany's Sikh community and Kashmir movement and their relatives to an employee of the Indian foreign intelligence service Research &amp; Analysis Wing," prosecutors said in a statement earlier this year.

His wife joined him in monthly meetings with the Indian intelligence officer between July and December 2017, and in total the couple were paid 7,200 euros ($8,100). 
Sikhs in Germany number between 10,000 and 20,000 - their third biggest community in Europe after Britain and Italy, according to the religious rights group REMID.

Javadekar told the Upper House that a high-level task force was constituted under the chairmanship of the Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister for the same and that "regular review meetings have been held," news agency ANI quoted the minister.&nbsp;

The minister also said that a comprehensive air plan for Delhi NCR has been developed, "identifying the timelines and implementing agencies for actions delineated".&nbsp;

He also said that the Central government has notified a graded response action plan for Delhi/NCR for different levels of pollution.

The air quality in Delhi-NCR plunged into 'very poor' category again on Thursday and is expected to drop to 'severe' by tomorrow, as per the data provided by System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR).

The Air Quality Index (AQI) today was recorded at 312 with PM 10 at 142 and PM 2.5 at 72.

"The overall Delhi AQI is in the very poor category and is slowly declining and may further deteriorate by tomorrow towards the higher end of the very poor scale and may touch 'severe' in some parts of Delhi by November 22," stated the organisation in its advisory.

The pollution in Delhi can be attributed to two factors - slow surface winds in Delhi, and increasing fire counts compared to last week. Additionally, stubble level winds from the burning sites will contribute to the pollution.

The national capital and the adjoining areas have been grappling with poor air quality after Diwali last month. While schools were shut for multiple days across Delhi/NCR to keep children away from the adverse effects of worsening pollution levels, construction activities were also halted on some days.&nbsp;

The Kejriwal government also initiated the 'Odd-Even' vehicular scheme earlier this month with an aim to abate the pollution.&nbsp;

The minister also said that a comprehensive air plan for Delhi NCR has been developed, "identifying the timelines and implementing agencies for actions delineated". He also said that the Central government has notified a graded response action plan for Delhi/NCR for different levels of pollution. Prakash Javadekar in Rajya Sabha: A comprehensive air plan for Delhi NCR has been developed identifying the timelines and implementing agencies for actions delineated. Centre has notified a graded response action plan for Delhi NCR for different levels of pollution https://t.co/HeKerh0OTu — ANI (@ANI) November 21, 2019 × The air quality in Delhi-NCR plunged into 'very poor' category again on Thursday and is expected to drop to 'severe' by tomorrow, as per the data provided by System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR). The Air Quality Index (AQI) today was recorded at 312 with PM 10 at 142 and PM 2.5 at 72. "The overall Delhi AQI is in the very poor category and is slowly declining and may further deteriorate by tomorrow towards the higher end of the very poor scale and may touch 'severe' in some parts of Delhi by November 22," stated the organisation in its advisory. The pollution in Delhi can be attributed to two factors - slow surface winds in Delhi, and increasing fire counts compared to last week. Additionally, stubble level winds from the burning sites will contribute to the pollution. The national capital and the adjoining areas have been grappling with poor air quality after Diwali last month. While schools were shut for multiple days across Delhi/NCR to keep children away from the adverse effects of worsening pollution levels, construction activities were also halted on some days. The Kejriwal government also initiated the 'Odd-Even' vehicular scheme earlier this month with an aim to abate the pollution. (With inputs from ANI)

Comprehensive plan to tackle air pollution in Delhi, NCR has been developed: Javadekar

BJP leader Vijay Goel on Thursday accused the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government in Delhi of not taking enough measures to address air pollution in the national capital over the last five years.

"Kejriwal did not take steps to tackle air pollution and bad water quality. He did not show his concern to around two crore people of Delhi. Earlier, water was not coming in Delhi but now water is coming, but it's contaminated. They are doing politics on this matter. Even the Supreme Court said that the odd-even scheme is not enough to tackle air pollution," he told ANI.

"90 per cent pollution happens from local sources such as road construction, smoke coming out from vehicles, dust and industrial pollution. Stubble burning was an excuse. It was being done for the last 30 days. So, the Kejriwal government has not done anything in the last five years," Goel said.

The air quality in Delhi and its adjoining areas such as Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad and Faridabad again plunged to 'very poor' category on Thursday and is expected to fall into 'severe' category by tomorrow, according to System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research (SAFAR).

Today, the overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of the national capital docked at 312.

AAP didn't take steps to tackle air pollution in last 5 years: Vijay Goel

Modalities have been finalised on the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/congress-ncp-shiv-sena-triad-to-form-maharashtra-government-before-december-1-sanjay-raut-263537">formation of the government in Maharashtra</a> between the Congress, Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and all the three parties have, in principle, agreed upon ministerial berths according to their strength in the assembly, sources said on Thursday.

The Common Minimum Programme (CMP) between Congress and NCP has been sealed and will be discussed with the Shiv Sena in Mumbai on Friday, sources added. 
Currently, Congress and NCP, sources said, are discussing the possible names to be inducted in ministerial berths.

The name of the alliance is expected to be finalised in today's meeting between Congress and NCP leaders. The convener of the alliance is also slated to be finalised by Friday in Mumbai, they added.

Earlier today, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting was held at party interim president Sonia Gandhi's 10 Janpath residence. Several senior leaders including Malikarjun Kharge, Ahmed Patel, AK Antony and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury had attended the meeting.

"We have apprised the CWC members of the latest political situation in Maharashtra. Today, Congress-NCP discussion will continue. I think, tomorrow, we will probably have a decision in Mumbai," Congress leader KC Venugopal told reporters after the CWC meet.

On Wednesday, Congress leaders including Ahmed Patel, Jairam Ramesh and Mallikarjun Kharge had briefed party interim president Sonia Gandhi about their meeting with NCP chief Sharad Pawar. After briefing Gandhi, the three Congress leaders again returned to Pawar's residence.

Sources said that during the course of Wednesday's meetings, the Congress and NCP leaders also held talks with Shiv Sena leadership over the phone and got a positive response.

They also added that as part of the coalition government, a sharing formula of 2.5 years each between the Shiv Sena and NCP for the chief minister seat has been approved while Congress will be given the deputy chief minister's seat.

Maharashtra came under President's Rule on November 12 after all the parties failed to form a government in the state. The BJP, which emerged as the single largest party, could not stake claim to form a government as its ally Shiv Sena remained firm on rotating the Chief Minister's post and equal sharing of Cabinet berths.

Shiv Sena parted its ways with BJP to explore ways to form a government. It, however, failed to prove the support of the required number of MLAs in the time given by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari.

The Governor had then invited NCP, the third-largest party, to prove its ability to form the government failing which President's Rule was imposed in the state. 
The Shiv Sena is now holding talks with the Congress and NCP to form a government in Maharashtra.

The BJP won 105 seats in the 288-member assembly followed by Shiv Sena 56, NCP 54 and Congress 44.&nbsp;

While postal services between India and Pakistan have not been resumed yet, the Indian Department of Posts has raised the matter with the United Nations' Post Union.&nbsp;

Switzerland-based Universal Post Union is the United Nations' specialised body which coordinates postal policies and global postal systems.&nbsp;

The 145-year old body is one of the oldest bodies of the UN.

While Pakistani media reported that services are to be resumed, Thursday saw none present from the Pakistani side at the Wagha border.&nbsp;

The chief postmaster general of Punjab Circle was informed by Pakistan last evening of having received instructions from their authorities wherein it was communicated that normal exchanges will be initiated from Thursday.

Nonetheless, India's postal department will be sending personnel on a daily basis if Pakistan plans to send their representative with the posts.

It is for the first time in 70 years when postal services between India and Pakistan have been stopped.

Pakistan had unilaterally stopped postal services with India in the backdrop of the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and kashmir in August this year.

The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/supreme-court-to-hear-plea-seeking-deportation-of-rohingyas-bangladeshis-next-month-263568">Supreme Court</a> bench consisting of Justices N V Ramana, R Subhash Reddy, and B R Gavai on Thursday heard a plea pertaining to the imposition of information blockade in Jammu and Kashmir.

"The Central government cannot put a blanket ban on freedom of speech and expression", senior advocate Meenakshi Arora said in the Supreme Court while referring to the restrictions placed in Jammu and Kashmir after its special status was revoked on August 5.

"There should be reasonable restrictions. People of this country have the right to freedom of speech and expression and nobody can put this into ransom," Arora, representing activists Shoaib Ahmed and Tesheen Poonawala, told the top court. The counsel further argued that the purpose to impose such conditions on the people "must be legitimate".

"One has to listen to both sides. In a democratic setup, people of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/jammu-kashmir-situation-fully-normal-none-died-in-police-firing-since-august-5-amit-shah-263354">Jammu and Kashmir</a> have all the rights to voice their opinion whatever they want and desire," she added.

Opposing her contentions, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-supreme-court-to-examine-dreamers-program-that-trump-wants-axed-261490">Solicitor General</a> (SG) Tushar Mehta said that the decision was taken by the government under its constitutional rights to put these bans".

"We are the victims of cross border terrorism. The problem is there since 1947. Please accept the hard reality," Mehta told the apex Court. 
He said that rights have not been taken away from the people but conferred to them.

"Right to education was applied. The application of many laws will help the vulnerable people in Jammu and Kashmir," Mehta added.

In August, the central government had scrapped Article 370 and bifurcate the erstwhile state into two UTs Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. Following this, phone lines and the internet were blocked in the region.

Normalcy is gradually returning to Jammu and Kashmir as mobile and landline services have been restored in both UTs and restrictions under Section 144 on movement withdrawn or relaxed.

The Congress will vehemently raise the issue of electoral bonds in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/petition-in-supreme-court-seeks-probe-into-lok-sabha-election-results-263431">Lok Sabha</a> today for which party is even likely to stage a walk-out if they were not allowed to have a detailed discussion on it, told top-notch sources from the party.

Sources from Congress Parliamentary Strategy meeting told that the party has reached out to the Opposition parties for devising a floor strategy to corner the Narendra Modi-led government over the same.

"We will not let the issue of electoral bonds die down. We will make the government answerable. Reaching out to opposition parties to build a floor strategy against the government, we want a detailed discussion on it," said the source.

"If the government doesn't allow discussion on the issue of electoral bonds, Congress to stage a walkout. Congress will also hold a protest at the Gandhi statue," it said.

The issue will be raised by Congress MP <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news?page=2266">Manish Tewari</a> in the Standing Committee on Finance set to meet at 3 pm today. 
Congress party has given adjournment motion notice in Lok Sabha on Thursday over "lack of transparency in the entire scheme of electoral bonds".

The adjournment motion is an extraordinary procedure which, if admitted, leads to setting aside the normal business of the House for discussing a definite matter of urgent public importance.

"This was opposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) which has stated that this scheme will lead to the encouragement of money laundering," Azad had said.

"In this scheme, it is not disclosed who gives fund to a political party. The money could be donated from a fraudster or even a terrorist," the Congress leader said while criticising the electoral bond scheme.

Electoral bonds may be purchased by a person, who is a citizen of India or incorporated or established in India. A person being an individual can buy electoral bonds, either singly or jointly with other individuals.
