Why Indian diplomat mike went silent while criticizing China?

Beijing hosts plenary sessions of the second United Nations Global Sustainable Transport Conference from 14 to 16 October. Being a member of the conference, India sends its representative Priyanka Sohoni, Second Secretary of the Indian Embassy to the conference. Her microphone went silent suddenly when Priyanka Sohoni addressed at a conference in Beijing. The sudden "mike failure" at the UN meet hosted by China here from October 14 to 16 created a flutter and took several minutes to restore. The reason is an open secret. Belt and Road Initiative Project (BRI) aims to strengthen Beijing’s trade influence across the world with a network of land and sea routes. 


India has opposed China’s BRI right from the beginning and has not joined in BRI because it does not offer a level playing ground to the country’s businesses. Indian has opposed BRI which passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. BRI or the “One Belt, One Road” is the brainchild of President Xi Jinping’s flagship program for trade and connectivity. New Delhi’s trade concerns related to Beijing were a key factor behind India’s decision. Even before Priyanka Sohoni’s mike was fixed, the video of the next speaker began to play. The video was halted by the UN under-secretary-general, Liu Zhenmin who was a former minister of China apologized for causing the inconvenience to Indian diplomats. He made a statement that because of technical problems it happened.


The controversy began when Pakistan diplomats praised the BRI project. He quoted that the BRI project becomes a game-changer in development for the region. Pakistan diplomat speech prompted India to give a strong response on the BRI issue. India said that so-called China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the project that impinges on Indian sovereignty. China’s Transport Minister Li Xiaopeng rebutted India’s remarks on the project and defended that BRI is for the development of all countries that connected land and sea routes. China’s response to Indian diplomats may constitute a breach of UN Protocol. As per the protocol, any serving nation refrains from responding to remarks of foreign diplomats at UN conferences.

Producers demand 18 crores for Ceded for Pavan and Trivikram film

Director Rajamouli showed the path to all other producers on how to sell product (movie) in different ways across the word. Telugu Cinema has vertically divided in two ways Before and after Bahubali. Bahubali proves that there were no boundaries in selling the movie. Other producers who are doing with star heros like Pavan, Mahesh and Jr. NTR will follow Rajamouli in this regard. But there is slight difference with Bahubali and other heros films. Unfortunately, producers and distributors fail to notice the gap. Bahubali is universal movie which was apt to all sections in the world. That is the reason for getting huge collections across the world. We didn't expect the same situation for Prabas's next movie even though his popularity increased with Bahubali. Radha Krishna who produced movies like Julayi and A. AA.. will plan to produce next film with Pavan and Trivikram. Movie was not yet started but distributors rushed toward producer for getting area-wise rights.Obviously, ...
