The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday rejected the submissions made by a United Nations panel that India had arbitrarily detained Christian Michel James since 2018, saying the conclusions drawn by the global body were biased, based on limited information and an inaccurate understanding of the country’s criminal justice system.
James, a British aviation consultant, was arrested in connection with the AgustaWestland chopper scam on December 22, 2018. Investigators had alleged that Michel was involved in the 2010 sale of the VVIP helicopters to the Indian government. The alleged middleman was extradited from Dubai, and is currently lodged in Tihar Jail.
India and China agree on phased disengagement
The government said on Friday that following the disengagement of Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh, it is not in the interest of either side to prolong the remaining boundary issues between the two countries.
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and China s State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a conversation over phone that lasted for 75 minutes. The Indian Foreign Minister told his Chinese counterpart that a prolongation of the existing situation was not in the interest of either side. It was, therefore, necessary that the two sides should work towards early resolution of remaining issues , according to a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs on Friday.
