He says they are all set for the grand opening and it's the National Sports Awards on Tuesday as 26 athletes to be honoured, Mohammed Shami will receive the Arjuna Award. He spoke exclusively to ND TV Hello and welcome. You're watching ND TV, 24 7. I'm Osama Shaba. Top story. The Supreme Court today ruled that 11 men convicted of raping Bill Kanu and killing a family during the 2002 Gujarat riots but released early for good behaviour must return to jail. The convicts have to surrender within two weeks. This is what the court said, cancelling Gujarat's decision to release them. Reacting to the order, Bill Cabano said. This is what justice feels like. It's back to prison for these 11 men convicted for gang raping Bilks Bano when she was 21 5 months pregnant and fleeing communal riots and yet shockingly released by the Gujarat government 17 months ago. In a strong order, the Supreme Court cancelled the release decision of the Gujarat government, calling it abuse of power and directed the convicts to surrender within a fortnight. The apex court has also held that Gujarat government wasn't the appropriate government to decide on their remission and it is the Maharashtra government that can decide on the premature release of the convicts. Judgement, Rule of law, Supreme RAS, or rule of law, Rule of law is quashing the remission order of the Gujarat government. Supreme Court has held that Gujarat government is not competent to order remission of the convicts. Maharashtra is the appropriate government to decide on the remission. Gujarat has acted in tandem and was complicit with the convicts. May 2022 order was obtained through fraudulent means and suppression of facts. The Supreme Court also said that the Gujarat government should have challenged May 2022 order directing it to consider the remission plea under 1992 policy, the BJP. Instead of standing with the victim, they have always stood with the perpetrators of the serious crime. It is B Barno who fought so bravely and because she she also put her life on the line. The convict's release of Independence Day last year had triggered outrage as they were given a hero's welcome with garlands and sweets. They were also seen sharing stage with B JP leaders convict Rades. Sham Shah has even started practising law. The Supreme Court was told during an 11 day hearing last year of petitions challenging the release, with Supreme Court quashing the Gujarat government's remission order and also directing all the 11 convicts to surrender within a period of two weeks and holding that the Maharashtra government is the competent government to decide on the remission plea, the 11 convicts upon surrendering can file a remission plea before the Maharashtra government with camera person Sus rati. This is Haruna for N TV. On a day Maldives President Mohammad Mou landed in Beijing to sign bilateral agreements. China's state media in an editorial referred to India's diplomatic row with the Maldives and called for an open minded approach to looking at South Asian issues. The Maldives government has suspended three ministers over their derogatory comments on Prime Minister Narin Modi's visit to Laksha. The Maldivian government has distant itself from the insulting comments by the three ministers and called the matter their personal opinion that do not represent the views of the government. China wading into the India Maldives round a day after the Maldivian government was forced to suspend three ministers whose derogatory social media posts over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's lakhi visit and suggestions by Indian social media users that Laksh can be an alternate tourism destination to Maldives, kicked off a firestorm. An opinion piece in the Chinese mouthpiece Global Times said China has always treated Maldives as equal, New Delhi should stay open minded and that Chinese assistance will make Maldives prosperous. This as the Maldives President Mohammad Musu, who was elected to PA last November after an India out campaign reached China for his first bilateral visit after assuming PA. Both India and China have jostled for influence in Maldives, a country that lies at the strategic crossroads of the Indian Ocean. As the closest big neighbour to Maldives, India has shared a strong relationship for decades. But now Beijing is aggressively vying for that space and wants to use Maldives to expand its influence. China's decision to wade into this so called tension between New Delhi and the Maldives is bad news for Delhi. It comes at a time when China has been establishing a huge presence in the Indian Ocean region. These are the Maldives. This is Djibouti, where China operates its first overseas base. This is the area they're vying for influence. They've already got a deep water port, inhuman and SR i Lanka. And then, of course over here is Pakistan, where there is a strong Chinese influence. Therefore, New Delhi is concerned about the growing influence of China in the waters, which is why it's critical for New Delhi to ensure that the relationship with the Maldives prospers. In a further escalation, India summoned the Maldives envoy in Delhi and the Indian High commissioner in Malay, visited the Maldives Foreign Ministry in what the Indian government said was a pre-arranged meeting. Such has been the social media backlash that Indian aggregator is. My Tripp announced it was suspending all Maldives flight and hotel bookings. While make my trip reported a huge jump in searches for Lux on its app. Laksha has seen a remarkable 3400% increase in searches ever since our Honourable PM visited. We believe that Laksh and many other places in India can be much, much better than other international tourism destinations like Maldives. And we believe that our honourable prime minister has done the right thing by promoting laksh at a very timely manner. According to government of Maldives data, Indians have formed the biggest chunk of tourist arrivals in the country for two straight years. The big question will this row affect both tourism and Maldives and India's relations with the island nation with Vishnu soap, We A report and E TV government has announced new oil discovery in the country. This project is in the Krishna Guha Basin in Karnataka. Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri says that the oil extraction work has begun and that they expect to produce 45,000 barrels of oil per day by May. Listen in in the Krishna Kabri basin, I'm delighted to inform all my fellow countrymen that the first oil has been extracted. Yesterday there is work started on this in 2016 17. Then there were some delays on account of covid. But I'm sure that out of the 26 wells there, four wells are already operational. We will not only have gas also in a very short period of time, but by May and June we hope to be able to produce 45,000 barrels per day, which will be 7% of our total crude oil production and 7% of our gas production.

Gujarat is ready to host one of the most prestigious business summits of vibrant Gujarat. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate this flagship event that is often attributed the credit of Gujarat success as a premier destination for business. E mobility, semiconductors, green energy and high tech manufacturing are being seen as the key areas that could see big partnerships. Vasuda Venu Gopal has more details. You know, two most important days for Gujarat, you know, Start now the prime minister is going to arrive in Ahmedabad and after that next two days it's going to be tightly, tightly packed schedule for him. So I'll tell you. So vibrant Gujarat is seen as his brainchild, something that he conceptualised in 2003 to portray to project Gujarat as this, you know, destination for business and investment. And in the last 20 years, this summit has grown to be not just this platform to bring business heads and stakeholder together, but also policy makers together. So you know there is 20 year legacy to vibrant guja. Remember, it's held once in two years 2021. It could not be held because of the pandemic. So this year it becomes all the more important, and this is also election year. So it's all the more important for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, because he will also see this as an opportunity to make a mega pitch for investments, Be it you know, 50 global heads of different companies, from Microsoft to Google. They are going to be here. Apart from there are 34 partner nations, which include Germany, Australia, UK and several other countries. So those delegates are also going to be here. And most importantly, the president of United Arab Emirates, UAE Mohammed bin Zayed Al Naan is going to be here tomorrow. There's going to be a big roadshow that the prime minister will honour him with. And of course, that is what the city is preparing for and you know they're going to go plastic free is what I understand, and this is going to be a signal to not just the Muslim community but also diplomatic message. Because, remember, India is seen as a friend of Israel. But in the last few months we have also taken a very strong position against humanitarian crisis in Gaza as far as vibrant Gujarat is concerned. Tomorrow the prime minister will inaugurate the trade show. Fintech is an area of interest. Emerging technologies, be it electric mobility. And of course, you know the whole talk about semiconductors. Remember, Gujarat was the first state to have a semiconductor policy two years ago, and there's already this time with micro technology that was sealed during the prime minister's visit to the US last year. That is going to be taken forward. All of that is going to happen in the next two days. And of course, the grand summit is going to get inaugurated day after tomorrow. Prime Minister himself will do it, and he will also travel to Gift City, which is seen as his offering to the country. And it is seen as a futuristic, you know, place facility that could have, you know, everything ready for any kind of economic activity. That is something that he's going to do and also announce huge collaborations. So that is what is going to happen. But other than that, there is also, you know, some political activity that has been planned is what I've been told. He is likely to also meet BJP leadership here in the state. Remember that this is election year. You know, BJP in Gujarat won 153 seats. It was a historic record of sorts. And I'm sure the party wants to sort of repeat that in the 2024 looks of elections as well. Welcome back. Just days to go for the Big Ram Mandir inauguration. And the Temple Town is all set for its biggest event ever. ND TV spoke exclusively to the man in charge Nin the Misra, chairman of the Ram Temple Trust who told ND TV about all the big preparations ahead of this event. PD Hark Joe a uni Karte Jono vrai Hama G Although already protested why Bhagwan sing or CE Ram KS is or KP safety General Secretary Band Theta Ma Ma Lino just Is he in plant a Murti Ui Prakarsa Frag the hard VK Anusara or Sara or Tino Murti, Carou, Joy Saman and Rashi Bangladesh just wrapped up its elections and the ruling Awami League won a landslide majority. But it was a one sided show right from the start as the opposition had boycotted the polls, raising questions as to whether this was the end of democracy in the country. Here's a report Sheikh Hasina elected Bangladesh prime minister for a historic fifth term and now and is now the longest serving female leader of a country. But the question of the main opposition skipping the election was a sore point. In her victory. The opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party not only did not participate, but also gave a boycott call. Those arrested in the trains arson case in which four people died right before the elections have links to the BNP. The police say my reaction is very, very simple. The BNP is not a terrorist party. People of Bangladesh never considered BNP as a tourist party. Rather, BNP is a patriotic party, BN PB. We want to restore our democracy. The role of BNP is to protect our national economy. The role of BNP is to have got our national interest. India has also watched this election closely and Sheikh Hasina reiterated her government's commitment to strong Indo Bangla ties. India is our tested during our Liberian war. They supported us not only that, geopolitically Bangladesh is one of the most important partners and a neighbour of India. And while historically India Bangladesh ties have always been good, there have been hiccups in between. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, India Bangladesh ties have seen improvement and foreign policy watchers say with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's re election, the India Bangladesh relationship can reach a new level with camera person Judy Shankar in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
