The Bharatiya Janata Party alleged that the US State Department was behind the targeted attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling party and attempts to "destabilise India".

PM Modi-Led BJP Says US State Department Targeting India

<p>The United States on Saturday (Dec 7) firmly reacted to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s claims which alleged that the US State Department is trying to "destabilise India", its "deep state" elements are targeting India’s PM.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US said that it is "disappointing" that the BJP would make such accusations.&nbsp;</p>

Australian police have scored the biggest cocaine bust in the country's history after seizing 2.3 tonnes of cocaine from a fishing boat that had broken down off the coast of Queensland. The authorities have arrested 13 people, including two juveniles who were allegedly part of a drug-smuggling syndicate. The drugs have been valued at an estimated A$760 million ($490mn), which could have been distributed across 11.7 million street deals. According to CNN, the boat experienced a suspected mechanical breakdown, leaving the accused stranded 18 kilometres (11 miles) off the northeastern tip of K’gari island on November 30. The boat was on its way to deliver the drugs to a larger mothership.
