  1. India confident in standing solo against China in any future border dispute: EFSAS

Key points:

  1. Post the violent June 15 Galwan Valley clashes, India has shown the confidence of standing solo against China in any future border dispute despite the United States’ offer of forming a Quad alliance against Beijing, a European-based think tank said.

India is insisting that China move back from Finger 5 to its old position on the Finger 8 spur. In the face of repeated demands by the Chinese negotiators that India move its troops back from the forward areas, India has refused to consider any de-escalation until the disengagement process through the withdrawal of Chinese intrusions is complete,” the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS) said in its commentary.

  1. भारत से जल बंटवारे को लेकर चल रहे विवाद में विश्व बैंक ने पाकिस्तान को दिया दोहरा झटका

Key points:

  1. भारत और पाकिस्तान के बीच जल बंटवारे को लेकर चल रहे विवाद में विश्व बैंक न तो अंतरराष्ट्रीय न्यायालय में जाएगा और न ही किसी स्वतंत्र पर्यवेक्षक को नियुक्त कर उससे रिपोर्ट लेगा। यह विवाद दोनों देशों को ही मिलकर निपटाना होगा। विश्व बैंक का यह रुख पाकिस्तान को झटका देने वाला माना जा रहा है। दोनों देशों के बीच हुई जल बंटवारा संधि में विश्व बैंक भी एक पक्ष है।
  2. भारत और पाकिस्तान के बीच नौ साल चली वार्ता के बाद 1960 में जल समझौता हुआ था। विश्व बैंक ने तीसरे पक्ष के रूप में समझौता पत्र पर दस्तखत किए थे। समझौते के अनुसार, दोनों देशों को हिमालय से निकलकर भारत होते हुए पाकिस्तान में बहने वाली नदियों के जल के संबंध में सूचनाओं का लेन-देन करना था और पानी के इस्तेमाल पर सहयोग का तंत्र बनाना था।
  3.  देशों ने दशकों तक ऐसा किया, लेकिन हाल के वर्षो में दोनों देशों में बनने वाले बांधों को लेकर विवाद की स्थिति बन गई। पाकिस्तान में पांच साल का कार्यकाल पूरा करने वाले विश्व बैंक के निदेशक पचमुथु इलनगोवन डॉन ने अखबार से साक्षात्कार में कहा, भारत और पाकिस्तान को साथ बैठक विकल्पों पर बात करनी चाहिए और मतभेदों का समाधान निकालना चाहिए।
