Temporary UNSC seat: Pak backs bid


New Delhi: In a coincidence that may augur well for the Indo-Pak talks scheduled for later this week, Pakistan joined 52 other Asian states to endorse India's candidature for nonpermanent membership of the UN Security Council.
    The Asian group's endorsement is virtually the final stamp for Delhi's election to the seat in October this year. Pakistan's support came along with a nod from all the Saarc countries. Although it was not unexpected, sources said more than half the countries actually spoke out in India's favour as opposed to merely signing on.

    India requires 128 votes to get the seat. In January, Kazakhstan, the only other candidate, withdrew from the list after it became clear that India already had about 122 votes in its kitty. Although it is theoretically possible that another Asian candidate could pop up, diplomats consider that unlikely, particularly after Friday's vocal endorsement of India's candidature. TNN
UNSC seat: India can't afford to relax
New Delhi: Despite overwhelming backing for India's bid for a non-permanent United Nations Security Council seat, Delhi's lobbying efforts cannot slacken until the election to prevent attrition of support or the emergence of another rival.
    If India wins, it will avenge its humiliating defeat in 1996, when Japan wrested the seat with India getting only around 40 votes.
    On the longer term project of getting itself a permanent seat in the Security Council, India expects a text to be circulated in a couple of weeks on the structure of the United Nations Security Council reform and new members. The text will likely be written by the G-4 countries (India, Japan, Germany and South Africa) and a group of 40 countries called the L-69 (named after a United Nations resolution of 2007 which started intergovernmental negotiations for UNSC reform).

Hindu outfit link to Pune blast being probed


Mumbai: The Maharashtra government may check the possibility of right-wing Hindu organisations' involvement in the Pune blast, a senior official said on Monday.
    "We have not ruled out the possibility of the involvement of right wing Hindu organisations in the blast,'' a senior home department official told reporters.
    The official was replying to questions by
reporters about the involvement of right-wing Hindu organisations in the February 13 explosion at German Bakery, which claimed 15 lives.
    Pune, being a major centre for right wing activists, the investigation officials would also consider their links, the official said. "So far there has been no confirmation of in
volvement of any group," the official added.
    Recent reports in the media had pointed to the involvement of Abhinav Bharat in the explosion. AGENCIES

ATS report on blast
expected in a week
    
The Centre on Monday said that it was awaiting the ATS' probe report on the Pune blast. The report is expected to come in a week's time. "ATS is going ahead with the investigations. We'll see after a week," said home secretary G K Pillai when asked if the government was planning to hand the probe over to the National Investigation Agency. AGENCIES

    Once the text is in circulation, India can begin serious negotiations on it, which should ultimately make it to the UN General Assembly for a vote.
