Jaishankar, French counterpart Le Drian discuss raging Ukraine crisis

External affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar met his French counterpart Jean Yves Le Drian on the first day of his three-day visit to France. Jaishankar and the French Foreign Minister exchanged assessment over raging Ukraine situation, with French President Emanuel Macron doing heavy diplomatic lifting to resolve the crisis diplomatically.

Jaishankar took to Twitter and shared the highlights of his meeting with Le Drian.
Jaishankar is expected to call on French president Emmanuel Macron. The visit will be high on political content as Paris and New Delhi are key strategic partners and France is the only permanent member of the Security Council that does not have defence ties with India’s adversaries Pakistan and China. France has a presence in the Indo-Pacific region in the form of Reunion Island and is also a crucial peacemaker in the Ukraine stand-off, with Macron holding talks with Russian president Vladimir Putin to defuse the situation.

India and France will hold the next round of their strategic dialogue next month and the current visit will be focused on geopolitical and defence issues. Jaishankar will address a conference of EU foreign ministers on the Indo-Pacific as well as hold a head of mission conference for Indian envoys in Europe.

With France being one of India’s closest strategic allies, Jaishankar is expected to hold discussions with his counterparts on sharing critical and emerging technologies. Defence cooperation between the two countries is discussed in the strategic dialogue, which is expected to take place next month in India.

In the meeting with Indian envoys in Europe, the minister is likely to spell out the Modi government’s vision for Europe as well as share the assessment of Indian ambassadors. Jaishankar’s visit comes a day after his visit to the Munich Security Conference in Germany, marked by his firm counter to critics calling the Quad alliance as an Asian version of NATO.

During his visit to Munich, he spoke at length on India’s relations with China, and most importantly the notions surrounding the Quad alliance which also includes Australia, the United States and Japan.

Rejecting the notion that Quad was an Asian NATO as a ‘misleading term’, Jaishankar asked the critics not to slip into the lazy analogy.

“It isn’t because there are three countries who are treaty allies. We are not a treaty ally. It doesn’t have a treaty, a structure, a secretariat, it’s a kind of 21st century way of responding to a more diversified, dispersed world,” Jaishankar argued.

During the Munich Security Conference, Jaishankar said India’s ties with China were going through a difficult phase.

“For 45 years, there was peace and there was stable border management. There were no military casualties on the border. That changed. We had agreements with China not to bring the military forces to the Line of Actual Control and the Chinese violated those agreements. Now the state of the border will determine the state of the relationship. That’s natural,” news agency ANI quoted Jaishankar.

When the event’s moderator asked about India’s role in European security vis-à-vis the Ukrainian crisis, Jaishankar denied that the two events were analogous.

“We have quite distinct challenges, what is happening here or what is happening in the Indo-Pacific. In fact, if there was a connection by that logic, you would have had a lot of European powers already taking very sharp positions in the Indo-Pacific. We didn’t see that. We haven’t seen that since 2009,” Jaishankar said.

Amitabh Bachchan: Shocking Fan Incident Outside Jalsa

Amitabh Bachchan Fan Faints After Hours of Torturous Waiting

The weekly Sunday rite outside the renowned gates of Jalsa is nothing short of profoundly holy. For decades, thousands of deeply moved admirers have gathered like clockwork, hoping for a single glimpse of the iconic megastar.

Yesterday evening, that fierce commitment took a scary and sad turn. A middle-aged guy, who had been standing patiently in the scorching midday sun for more than four hours, collapsed unexpectedly.

He collapsed totally into profound sleep, landing directly on the harsh, unforgiving asphalt road. The happy, chanting crowd fell silent in an instant as reality hit in.

A Heartbreaking Moment of Desperation

According to eyewitnesses, this enthusiast travelled across various states for a two-minute glimpse of his idol. His quivering hands clutched a framed vintage photograph of the superstar.

As the searing midday heat reached its zenith, acute dehydration and utter physical fatigue overtook his body. His feeble knees bowed under the crushing weight of his never-ending, frantic wait.

He fell face first to the ground before anyone could react or grab him. The enormous crowd’s collective, frightened gasp boomed over Juhu’s normally peaceful suburban streets.


Sudden Chaos Outside Jalsa’s Gates

Within seconds, total fear spread among the observers. Fellow supporters quickly dropped their homemade banners and posters, coming to the fallen man’s rescue. Someone desperately sprayed cold water upon his pale, sweating face.

The large security crew stationed outside Amitabh Bachchan’s home acted quickly. They were able to remove the rising, panicked crowd, allowing the choking sufferer to breathe easier.

An emergency ambulance was dispatched immediately, while local volunteers attempted to revive him. In a few startling moments, the atmosphere went from exhilarating exhilaration to total horror.


The Relentless Sunday Evening Madness

Every Sunday evening, the veteran actor gracefully goes onto a high podium at his grand gates. It is a renowned custom that has completely defined Bollywood fan culture over generations.

Passionate admirers will miss meals, risk heavy monsoons, and suffer harsh summer heat waves only to see him wave. It is a profound, emotional bond that defies all reasonable logic.

For this heartbreakingly loyal admirer, the powerful emotional rush combined with severe physical tiredness proved to be a highly perilous, almost lethal combination on the boiling, sweltering concrete.

Security Personnel Scramble to Prevent Tragedy

Local police officers responded promptly to the chaotic scene, attempting to manage the emotionally charged throng. Medical staff administered quick, vital first aid on the scene, examining his critically weak and decreasing pulse.

The comatose man was gingerly put onto a canvas stretcher, still clutching his prized, sweat-soaked image of the actor. He was sent to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

On-duty medics eventually confirmed that he had severe heatstroke and acute, life-threatening dehydration. Fortunately, his medical condition improved after he received repeated IV infusions and intensive, appropriate care.


A Stark Warning for Star-Worshippers

This terrible, tragic episode has generated a heated, much-needed debate about the extreme limits of celebrity worship in India. Blind passion should never result in the death of an innocent person.

Jalsa is an undisputed historical monument to love, but yesterday it served as a grim, sobering lesson. Extreme physical endurance for a brief moment can easily result in a catastrophic medical tragedy.

As thousands of passionate individuals continue to flow to Mumbai every day, the fine line between beautiful appreciation and life-threatening devotion becomes increasingly, dangerously blurred for these fragile worshippers.


Terrifying Boundaries of Human Obsession

The burning passion that motivates these ordinary folks to risk their own health is both wonderful and scary. It emphasises the megastar’s immense, godlike influence over millions of hearts.

While the legendary actor continues to express love to his devoted fans, this dangerous occurrence demonstrates that safety should always come first. No fan should have to bleed or faint on the street in order to catch a passing shadow.
