Delhi BRICS Summit Brings Protests, Policy Decisions and Arrests
Xi Jinping visited Delhi to attend the BRICS Summit.
Police detained at least five Tibetan nationals who allegedly gathered to protest his visit.
BRICS countries issued a declaration about trade, tariffs, health and artificial intelligence.
The declaration did not mention the Ukraine war, unlike an earlier declaration.
It criticized unilateral sanctions and rising tariffs.
It also discussed Gaza and opposed forcing Palestinians to leave their homes.
In another Delhi case, a survivor of a building collapse is helping police investigate the operators.
The Reserve Bank of India told Tata Sons to follow rules for large finance companies.
In Madhya Pradesh, police arrested a wanted man connected to a spurious-liquor tragedy that killed 16 people.
At least five Tibetan nationals were detained near Pragati Maidan while allegedly protesting Xi Jinping’s Delhi visit.
The BRICS Delhi declaration avoided mentioning the Ukraine war but condemned unilateral sanctions, rising tariffs and trade restrictions.
The declaration addressed Gaza, opposed forced displacement of Palestinians, backed expanded UN Security Council roles for India and Brazil, and condemned the Pahalgam attack.
A Satya Niketan building-collapse survivor is a key police witness in charges against two operators; seven people died in the collapse.
The Reserve Bank of India rejected Tata Sons’ request to remain an unregistered Core Investment Company, while a wanted hooch-tragedy accused was arrested after a police encounter in Madhya Pradesh.
