Prime Minister Modi’s Stance on Immigration in Bihar’s Seemanchal Region

Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated his government’s hardline stance on undocumented immigrants during a recent speech in Bihar’s Seemanchal region. He declared that “every infiltrator has to go,” framing the issue as a matter of national security and economic stability.

Key Points from the Speech

• Modi accused opposition parties of deliberately “protecting infiltrators” for political gains, alleging they prioritize vote banks over national interests.
• The remarks targeted the Congress and regional parties, linking their policies to “compromised border security” in states like Bihar and West Bengal.

Why Seemanchal Matters

The Seemanchal region, bordering Nepal and Bangladesh, has long been a focal point in debates over migration. Critics argue Modi’s language risks stigmatizing minority communities, while supporters view it as part of his broader push for a National Register of Citizens (NRC) to identify undocumented residents.

Opposition Response

Opposition leaders condemned the remarks as divisive, accusing the BJP of inflaming tensions ahead of elections. They argue such rhetoric oversimplifies complex migration challenges and could marginalize vulnerable groups.

🌧️ Monsoon Mayhem Strikes J&K Again: A cloudburst triggered flash floods and mudslides in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district early Monday, flooding homes and blocking roads. While no casualties were reported this time, residents described a “huge sound like a blast” as waters surged. Authorities cleared debris and assessed damage, with ongoing heavy rains causing transport chaos and school closures across north India. Recent weeks saw over 130 deaths from similar disasters, including a landslide that killed seven family members last month. Pilgrimages remain suspended, and officials urge caution amid forecasts of more rain. Read more

🗳️ Seat Squabble in Bihar Bloc: Congress demands 70 seats in Bihar’s Assembly elections, identifying 27 as “good” (19 wins + 8 narrow losses in 2020). The Mahagathbandhan alliance faces tension as Congress insists on balancing “good” and “bad” seats, resisting being relegated to historically weaker constituencies. RJD, with 92 “good” seats per Congress’s criteria, had ceded 10 seats to allies in 2020, sparking internal dissent. Congress won 19/70 seats in 2020, down from 27/41 in 2015. Alliance talks include new partners JMM and RLJP, complicating negotiations. Past seat-sharing led to ally infighting, with RJD leaders claiming more wins were possible without compromises.

🛢️ Sanctioned Fuel, Clever Banking: India’s UCO Bank received government approval to handle trade payments for Nayara Energy, an EU-sanctioned refiner partly owned by Russia’s Rosneft.

Details on currency and operations are pending. Nayara, contributing 8% of India’s refining capacity, also seeks assistance securing ships after domestic operators distanced themselves. The move highlights India’s balancing act between Western sanctions and energy partnerships. Read more

In a Truth Social post, he alluded to an agreement involving a “certain company” popular with young Americans, suggesting ByteDance may transfer TikTok’s majority ownership to U.S. hands.

🇬🇧Musk's UK Populist Tea Gone Cold: Elon Musk amplifies Britain's immigration tensions, targeting Labour's governance with fiery rhetoric and backing far-right figure Tommy Robinson. Despite exploiting post-colonial anxieties and grooming gang scandals, UK's parliamentary system resists Trump-style disruption. Structural barriers—no electoral college, first-past-the-post voting, and lack of a charismatic populist leader—curb Musk's influence. Meanwhile, Labour's fragile majority struggles with public discontent over migration and public services. While Musk fuels chaos, Britain's deeper crisis stems from unresolved imperial guilt, selective historical memory, and political inertia—conditions ripe for turmoil but inhospitable to outsider takeovers.

🧬Cells’ Shape-Shifting Superpower Unlocked: Scientists at Hyderabad’s CCMB discovered how cells rapidly reshape using a protein called SPIN90, which teams with the Arp2/3 complex to build branched actin filaments. This process enables immune cells to sprout protrusions in microseconds, targeting pathogens. Using cryogenic electron microscopy, researchers captured near-atomic details of actin scaffolds forming—key to cell movement, division, and functions. The findings, published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, could advance treatments for cancer, immune disorders, and wound healing by revealing how cells remodel themselves in health and disease.
