Prime Minister Modi has been selected by Lord Ram to construct his temple, as stated by L.K. Advani.

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com

New Delhi: In a profound revelation, veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani has declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the chosen one by Lord Ram to build the long-awaited Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Speaking to Hindi magazine Rashtra Dharma, Advani reflected on the pivotal “Ram Rath Yatra” of 1990, describing it as a transformative event that shaped his political journey.

Advani, often hailed as the charioteer of the Rath Yatra, expressed that the faith in Lord Ram, with which the journey began, unexpectedly evolved into a nationwide movement. Recalling the historic event, he highlighted the divine connection, stating, “Lord Ram himself had chosen Mr. Modi, his devoted disciple, to build his Temple in Ayodhya.”

During the yatra, Prime Minister Modi served as Advani’s assistant, a role that was integral to the political landscape yet didn’t make Modi a household name at the time. Advani, now 96 years old, emphasized that destiny had signaled the eventual construction of a grand temple in Ayodhya during the Rath Yatra, and he believes “now it’s only a matter of time.”

In the article titled “Ram Mandir Nirman, Ek Divya Swapna Ki Purti” (The Construction of Ram Temple: Fulfillment of a Divine Dream), Advani paid tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, expressing that Vajpayee’s absence is felt deeply at this momentous juncture.

Advani also shared his vision for the upcoming consecration ceremony, where PM Modi is expected to consecrate the Ram Lalla idol. He believes that when this happens, the Prime Minister will represent every citizen of India, expressing a hope that the Ram Temple inspires all Indians to embody the qualities of Lord Ram.

The article is set to be published in the January 16 edition of Rashtra Dharma, with copies to be distributed to attendees of the consecration ceremony in Ayodhya. While there is speculation about Advani’s attendance, no official confirmation has been provided by his close associates at this point.

Atal Setu: From Mumbai to Raigad in Minutes – India’s Answer to Swift Connectivity. Here’s all you need to know

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com

New Delhi: In a monumental leap for India’s infrastructure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu today. The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, dubbed the Atal Setu, stands as the nation’s longest sea bridge, connecting Sewri in Mumbai to the Nhava Sheva area in Raigad district at a cost of ₹17,840 crore.

This historic project, initiated with the laying of its foundation stone by PM Modi in December 2016, pays tribute to the late former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The Atal Setu spans an impressive 21.8 kilometers, promising to revolutionize travel between the two locations by reducing the journey time from two hours to a mere 15-20 minutes.

Metropolitan Commissioner of MMRDA, Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, highlighted the technological marvel of the Atal Setu, stating, “This is India’s longest bridge built on the sea, employing cutting-edge technologies never before seen in the country. Notably, the lights used in this bridge are designed to preserve the aquatic environment.”

What’s Allowed:

Four-wheelers, including cars, taxis, light motor vehicles, minibuses, and two-axle buses, will have a maximum speed limit of 100 kmph.

Speed restrictions of 40 kmph will be implemented during the ascent and descent of the bridge.

What’s Not Allowed:

Motorbikes, auto rickshaws, and tractors are restricted from accessing the sea bridge.

Vehicles such as motorcycles, mopeds, three-wheelers, animal-drawn vehicles, and slow-moving vehicles are prohibited.

Multi-axle heavy vehicles, trucks, and buses heading towards Mumbai will not have entry access on the Eastern Freeway.

As the Atal Setu opens its lanes, it symbolizes not just a bridge over the Arabian Sea but also a bridge into a more connected and efficient future for Mumbai and Raigad district. This architectural marvel marks a significant milestone in India’s relentless pursuit of infrastructural excellence.

Messi PSG Exit: A Delicate Farewell Marred by Fan Discontent

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has shed light on why Lionel Messi was not allowed to parade the World Cup trophy at Parc des Princes, following Argentina’s triumph in 2022.

In a recent interview with RMC TV, Al-Khelaifi revealed that the decision was driven by a desire to avoid potential fan backlash. Messi’s celebratory moment was curtailed as PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe had been on the losing side against Argentina in the World Cup final.

“For me, like I said, if anyone talks about the fact that we didn’t celebrate him enough after he won the World Cup, we’re in France, and he won against Kylian. We are a French club. I don’t want the whole stadium to be against him either. I think we have to respect that,” stated Al-Khelaifi during the interview.

Messi’s departure from PSG was marked by fan disapproval, with the Argentine icon acknowledging that his presence caused a “rift” among the PSG fanbase. Al-Khelaifi further emphasized that Messi does not “respect” the club and should refrain from commenting on them following his exit.

Looking ahead, Lionel Messi is currently gearing up for his stint in the United States with Inter Miami. The team is scheduled to face FC Dallas in a friendly on January 22nd, followed by participation in the Riyadh Cup in the Middle East. This event will see Messi pitted against his perennial rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Al-Nassr.

The decision to withhold Messi’s World Cup trophy celebration at Parc des Princes, while rooted in diplomatic considerations, adds another chapter to the complex narrative surrounding Messi’s departure from PSG and sets the stage for his future endeavors in the United States and beyond.

Tech Titans Microsoft and OpenAI Under the EU Regulatory Microscope

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com

Microsoft’s substantial $13 billion investment in OpenAI is now under scrutiny by the European Union (EU) for a possible merger investigation. The European Commission is examining whether Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI falls within the scope of the EU’s merger rules. If conditions warrant, regulators may launch a formal probe to determine the permissibility of the arrangement. This move by the EU follows a similar action by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority.

Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI, which has amounted to $13 billion, has significantly benefited the software giant. Integration of OpenAI’s products into Microsoft’s core businesses has positioned the company as the leading player in AI among major tech firms, surpassing rivals such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google.

The recent events at OpenAI, including the temporary removal and subsequent reinstatement of Sam Altman as chief, revealed the deep interconnection between Microsoft and OpenAI. Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, played a direct role in negotiating and advocating for Altman’s return to OpenAI, demonstrating the close ties between the two entities.

In addition to investigating the Microsoft-OpenAI investment, the EU’s antitrust enforcers have called for feedback on competitive issues related to generative artificial intelligence and virtual worlds. The commission is keen on understanding potential competition concerns and monitoring AI partnerships to ensure they do not distort market dynamics.

The EU highlighted the significant growth in venture capital investment in AI within the region, estimated at over €7.2 billion in 2023. Moreover, the virtual worlds market in Europe is estimated to have surpassed €11 billion in 2023. The exponential growth in these industries is expected to have a profound impact on how businesses compete.

As regulatory bodies closely examine the tech landscape, Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI becomes a focal point in assessing potential antitrust implications within the rapidly evolving AI and virtual worlds sectors.

Feedback Call on AI and Virtual Worlds Competition Issues

The EU’s competition commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, emphasized the invitation for businesses and experts to provide insights into competition issues in generative artificial intelligence and virtual worlds. The commission is committed to preventing any undue distortion of market dynamics while fostering an environment that encourages innovation and fair competition.

This investigation reflects the EU’s proactive approach to addressing emerging challenges in the tech industry and ensuring a competitive landscape that benefits consumers and promotes innovation.

Big Deal: Mukesh Ambani’s Jio Partner Brookfield Seals Rs 16,500 Crore Agreement.

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com

Brookfield, a trusted partner of Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio, has struck a massive deal worth Rs 16,500 crore. The Canadian multinational company, known for its expertise in telecom infrastructure, is set to acquire 100% equity interests in the India business of American Tower Corporation (ATC), a significant player in the telecom tower industry.

Brookfield’s Expansion in Telecom Tower Space

The deal positions Brookfield as the largest telecom tower company in India, with approximately 253,000 towers. This move comes as Brookfield aims to expand and enhance its existing telecom tower portfolio in the country. The acquisition allows Brookfield to offer a broader range of solutions to its customers and partners.

Strategic Impact on Vodafone Idea

The transaction holds strategic significance as it involves the exit of ATC India after 17 years, primarily influenced by the challenges faced by its key client, Vodafone Idea. The struggling telecom operator has been dealing with operational and financial difficulties, leading to the loss of its major partner. Brookfield, with Reliance Jio as its anchor client, is positioned to address the challenges previously faced by ATC, particularly concerning its exposure to Vodafone Idea.

Brookfield’s Commitment to Digital Connectivity

Arpit Agrawal, Managing Director and Head of Infrastructure for India & Middle East at Brookfield, expressed the company’s commitment to empowering digital connectivity in the region. Through strategic acquisitions like ATC India, Brookfield aims to play a pivotal role in transforming the telecom infrastructure landscape, ensuring enhanced connectivity solutions for the Indian market.

As the telecom industry undergoes significant shifts, partnerships and acquisitions, such as the one between Brookfield and ATC India, are reshaping the competitive landscape, ultimately contributing to the advancement of digital connectivity across the country.
