As Sri Lanka continues to recover from the devastating economic crisis of 2022, the people of the island nation, who have been bearing the brunt of the strict austerity measures, will head to polling booths in the first elections after the crisis, and the economy will remain on the top of the agenda.

The crisis, which led to widespread food and fuel shortages, prompted Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to flee the country in 2022. The economic policy of Rajapaksa, followed by the onset of the Covid pandemic, is believed to have led to the worst economic crisis in the island nation.

Incumbent President Ranil Wickremesinghe, a six-time prime minister, assumed office as interim president in July 2022 following Rajapaksa’s removal, is now seeking re-election.

He faces challenges from Anura Kumara Dissanayake of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna party (JVP) and Sajith Premadasa of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya party (SJB).

Voting will take place at 13,134 polling stations in Sri Lanka, beginning at 7 am (local time) and closing at 4 pm (local time). The counting of votes is expected to begin at 9:30 pm (local time), as per Al Jazeera.

A total of 38 candidates are vying to win the top executive post in Sri Lanka. While the number of candidates was initially 39, one candidate, independent Idroos Mohamed Ilyas, died of a heart attack in August.

Notably, though Ranil Wickremesinghe, has been affiliated with the centre-right United National Party (UNP), he is running for the top job as an independent candidate, after the party announced another candidate for the post.

Wickremesinghe has been campaigning with his slogan “Puluwan Sri Lanka” or “Sri Lanka Can”, while weighing on the plank that he pulled the country out of an economic crisis.

While several economic indices of the Sri Lankan economy have improved, with inflation reducing dramatically, and the gross domestic product (GDP) showing healthy growth, Wickremesinghe, however, has been facing criticisms by opponents for belonging to the very same political elite that is blamed for the 2022 economic crisis, as reported by the Al Jazeera.

The incumbent president has governed with the backing of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) party of the Rajapaksa family.

The critics have also accused Wickremasinghe, whose policies have included cuts in social welfare schemes to balance the country’s books, of making the weaker sections of Sri Lankan society bear the brunt of the sacrifices needed for the nation’s economic recovery.

Other than the incumbent president, Anura Kumara Dissanayake from the Marxist party, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP), has soared in popularity after the 2022 crisis.

The 55-year-old played an active role in the protest movement and has been critical of a USD 2.9 billion bailout deal Sri Lanka struck with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), claiming that it has increased the cost of living for Sri Lankans.

Though the JVP party is still considered a marginal player in Sri Lanka’s parliament, Dissanayake’s popularity has been soaring. At the centre of his political campaign is a promise to eliminate corruption that appears to have resonated with large sections of Sri Lankan society, Al Jazeera reported.

Sajith Premadasa is another major candidate in the fray. He founded the populist Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) after breaking away from Wikremesinghe’s UNP. Premadasa, son of former President Ranasinghe Premadasa, is also the current leader of opposition in Sri Lanka’s parliament.

A longtime rival of Wickremasinghe when they both belonged to the UNP, Premadasa also contested the 2019 presidential election, in which he lost to Gotabaya Rajapaksa.

However, in recent years, Premadasa, has tried to court the country’s Tamil vote — the community constitutes 11 per cent of the Buddhist-majority nation.

A prominent party representing Tamils from the north and east of the country, the Illankai Tamil Arasu Kadchi (ITAK), has thrown its support behind the opposition leader Premadasa. In the 2019 election, a significant number of Tamils voted for him, Al Jazeera reported.

Though, the 2022 economic crisis led to the ouster of Rajapakshas. Namal Rajapaksa, the eldest son of former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa is contesting the elections. At 38, the SLPP leader is the youngest candidate in the fray.

However, support for the Rajapaksa family is at its lowest due to the economic havoc of 2022.

He also served as the minister of youth and sports under his uncle’s presidency between 2020 and 2022.

But, it is pertinent to note that Sri Lanka, which gave the world its first female PM – Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike – in 1960, won’t have any woman candidates on the ballot in this election.

Meanwhile, the polls have shown Dissanayake as the frontrunner in the elections.

The Sri Lanka Opinion Tracker Survey by the Institute for Health Policy (IHP), showed the leftist leader at 48 per cent, followed by Premadasa at 25 per cent. Incumbent Wickremesinghe is third with 20 per cent. Namal Rajapaksa trails far behind at 5 per cent.

Al Jazeera also cited the Numbers.Ik, the website which compiles statistics about Sri Lanka, Anura Kumara Dissanayake from the Marxist party Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) is leading with 40 per cent, followed by Premadasa at 29 per cent and incumbent Wickremesinghe trailing at 25 per cent. This is based on online data collected between September 9 and September 16. The economy is the biggest issue for the people of Sri Lanka in the presidential election.

Sri Lanka was hit by a massive economic crisis in 2022, as inflation rose to 70 per cent and the currency plunged by 45 per cent. For months, people formed long queues to fetch fuel, which badly impacted the daily lives of people.

All of this turned into a massive anti-government uprising, with people storming into the President’s residence. The Rajapaksa family, which was enjoying a long-run in the island nation, were forced to flee. However, (ANI)

New Zealand pilot Phillip Mehrtens has been released by separatist rebels in Indonesia’s restive Papua region, 19 months after his kidnapping. Mehrtens had been held captive since February 2023.

The New Zealand government said that Phillip Mehrtens, taken hostage in Papua, Indonesia, is now safe.

Mehrtens was taken hostage while working as a pilot at a remote airstrip in Paro, Papua on February 7, 2023.

New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters in a statement expressed his relief at the release of Mehrtens and said, “We are pleased and relieved to confirm that Phillip Mehrtens is safe and well and has been able to talk with his family.”

He added, “This news must be an enormous relief for his friends and loved ones.”

The Foreign Minister further said that for the last 19 and a half months, a wide range of government agencies worked with Indonesian authorities and others towards securing Mehrtens’ release.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, with staff in both Indonesia and Wellington, has led a sustained whole-of-government effort to secure Phillip Mehrtens’ release, and has also been supporting his family,” Peters said.

Mehrtens of Christchurch, a pilot for Indonesian aviation company Susi Air, was abducted by fighters from the West Papua Liberation Army, the armed wing of the Free Papua Movement, who stormed his single-engine plane shortly after it landed on a small runway in Paro in remote Nduga district.

The plane carried five passengers. The rebels had released all five passengers because they were indigenous Papuans, rebel spokesperson Sebby Sambom had said at the time.

The separatist fighters had released a series of photos in February 2023 showing Mehrtens.

The photos released showed the pilot, standing fully clothed and apparently uninjured among a group of fighters who were holding guns, bows and arrows and other weapons. (ANI)

The Ireland Embassy in New Delhi is celebrating 75 years of diplomatic relations between Ireland and India. The embassy has announced a unique cultural collaboration for Kolkata’s iconic Durga Puja festival, where Irish and Indian artists will jointly create a spectacular pandal at Behala Nutan Dal.

Reflecting on these deep-rooted connections, Ireland’s Ambassador to India, Kevin Kelly, said, “Ireland and India share a strong and growing partnership that transcends diplomatic relations. Our peoples are connected through education, culture, and shared values. As we mark 75 years of friendship, we are committed to strengthening these ties further, especially as both nations explore new opportunities in trade, technology, and culture.”

“One of the most exciting initiatives marking this anniversary is a unique collaboration between the celebrated Irish cultural group Macnas from Galway in the West of Ireland and Kolkata’s Behala Nutan Dal,” the Ireland Embassy in New Delhi said in a statement on Friday.

Together, artists from both countries are creating a stunning Durga Puja pandal that honours both the Hindu goddess Durga and the Celtic goddess Danu. This fusion of Irish and Indian creativity will offer a visual spectacle that reflects the power of cross-cultural collaboration and celebrates the power of women and the feminine spirit.

Speaking about the collaboration, Ambassador Kelly added, “Durga Puja in Kolkata is one of the most awe-inspiring festivals I have ever witnessed. The energy, creativity, and community spirit of the festival are unparalleled. This year, we are thrilled to see Irish artists collaborating with their Indian counterparts to celebrate shared cultural values. It will undoubtedly be a highlight of our 75th anniversary celebrations.”

This partnership, in close collaboration with the Honorary Consul of Kolkata, Mayank Jalan, marks a significant cultural exchange and symbolises the growing global recognition of ‘Durga Puja’ as a platform for cross-cultural dialogue.

“Over the past seven decades, the bilateral relationship between Ireland and India has grown exponentially. Today, Ireland is home to over 100,000 Indians, making them the third-largest immigrant group after Polish and British nationals,” the statment added.

Ireland and West Bengal have been linked culturally for over a century. Kolkata is home to many Irish schools and is also the birthplace of India’s renowned literary giant and Nobel Prize winner, Rabindranath Tagore, who had a close relationship with Ireland’s most famous poet, William Butler Yeats. Yeats wrote the foreword to the first English translation of Tagore’s Gitanjali.

‘Durga Puja’, also known as ‘Durgotsava’, is a significant Hindu festival celebrated annually in honour of Goddess Durga. It symbolises the triumph of good over evil, as Goddess Durga defeated the demon Mahishasura. The festival typically lasts for 10 days (Navaratri), with the main festivities occurring during the last four days (Saptami, Ashtami, Navami, and Vijayadashami). (ANI)

Amid a row over the use of animal fat in prasada given at Tirumala temple in Andhra’s Tirupati district, Amul issued a clarification on Friday, stating that it had never supplied ghee to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD).

After posts on various social media platforms, Amul.coop posted a statement on X, stating that Amul Ghee was never supplied to the TTD.

“This is in reference to some social media posts mentioning that Amul Ghee was being supplied to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD). We wish to inform that we have never supplied Amul Ghee to TTD,” the statement read.

“We also wish to clarify Amul Ghee is made from milk at our state-of-the-art production facilities, which are ISO certified. Amul Ghee is made from high-quality pure milk fat. The milk received at our dairies passes through stringent quality checks, including adulteration detection as specified by FSSAI,” it added.

This came two days after Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu claimed that substandard ingredients, including animal fat, were used in the preparation of Tirupati laddus, a sweet offered at the Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirupati, during the previous Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) government.

Reacting to the Tirupati laddu issue, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy stated that the TDP is “politicising religious matters.”

“The tender process occurs every six months, and the qualification criteria have not changed for decades. Suppliers must provide an NABL certificate and a product quality certificate. The TTD collects samples of the ghee, and only products that pass certification are used. The TDP is politicising religious matters. In our regime, we have rejected products 18 times,” Reddy said.

Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Friday spoke to CM Naidu and sought a full report on the issue, adding that the Centre would examine the matter and take suitable action.

Addressing a press briefing on the Modi government’s 100-day achievements, Nadda, when asked about adulteration in Tirupati prasadam, said, “I have spoken to Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu after receiving information about this and took details from him. I have asked him to share the available report so that I can examine it. I will also speak to the state regulators and investigate this. Suitable action will be taken as per the food safety standards. As of now, I have asked for the report and we will examine it.”

YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy on Friday said that he will write a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and claimed that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has twisted the facts.

“Ultimately, at the end of the day, I myself am writing a letter to the Prime Minister. I am also writing a letter to the Chief Justice of India. I am explaining to them as to how Chandrababu Naidu twisted the facts and why action should be taken against him for having done so,” the YSRCP chief told reporters.

TDP MP Sribharat Mathukumilli said that the reports categorically said that a particular fat based on its S value is not within the stipulated range and is not milk fat, it is not ghee.

“We received the lab reports of ghee used in making Tirupati Laddus. Both reports categorically said that a particular fat based on its S value is not within the stipulated range and is not milk fat, it is not ghee. It is a mix of vegetable oils and, shockingly, beef fat and pig fat. This has shaken devotees and all followers of Hinduism across the country. It is unfortunate that such kind of governance was plaguing not just the state but also the holy site of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam… The hurt it has caused cannot be resolved so easily. People across the country are grieving… A similar case has come forward in the Simhachalam Temple also,” the TDP leader said. (ANI)

This validation from the Emmys in addition to the tremendous love that we have received from fans worldwide, is a worthy reminder that hard work always pays…I am ecstatic and hungrier than ever before for what’s to come,” Kapoor added.
