										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>US Central Intelligence Agency chief William Burns held a secret meeting in Kabul with Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.</p>
<p>The Monday meeting, which if confirmed will have been the highest-level encounter between the Islamist group and the Biden administration since the militants&#8217; return to power, came as efforts to evacuate thousands of people from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan became increasingly urgent.</p>
<p>Burns is one of US President Joe Biden&#8217;s most experienced diplomats; while Baradar, who headed the Taliban&#8217;s political office in Qatar, is one of the top leaders in the regime that has taken power in Kabul.</p>
<p>A spokesperson for the CIA would not confirm the meeting to AFP, saying that the agency &#8220;never discusses the director&#8217;s travels.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will on Monday lead an all-party delegation from his state to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to demand a caste-based Census. The team will include opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, a strong critic of the state government, and the state Mines and Geology Minister Janak Ram, a BJP legislator and a relative lightweight.</p>
<p>&#8220;The respected Prime Minister has granted time at 11 am the day after tomorrow. An entire list of the delegation has been sent to him and also members of the ten parties going to the meeting,&#8221; Mr Kumar told reporters in Patna today.</p>
<p>&#8220;Right now, we are going to request that the Census must be conducted based on caste. It is up to the Centre to decide,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>If such an exercise is conducted for the whole nation, the Chief Minister said, it would be &#8220;very beneficial&#8221;. He told media persons that there was demand everywhere for such an exercise.</p>
<p>The idea of such a delegation was mooted by the Mahagatbandhan alliance led by Mr Yadav, which had formally urged the Chief Minister to seek an appointment with PM Modi.</p>
<p>The BJP, an ally in Mr Kumar&#8217;s NDA regime in Bihar, has named Mr Ram as its representative in the delegation and not the Deputy Chief Ministers it has in the government.</p>
<p>This is significant and shows that PM Modi&#8217;s party doesn&#8217;t want to miss the caste-based Census bus. Yet, it is also signalling to its upper castes constituency that the party was being coerced into joining the delegation even though it was not important enough for senior leaders to be part of.</p>
<p>On August 9, Mr Kumar had said that if the Central government does not hold such a Census, a discussion may be initiated in the state on carrying out an exercise to enumerate caste data in Bihar. His statement came days after failing to elicit any response to a letter he wrote to PM Modi on the matter.</p>
<p>A few days later, Mr Yadav said the Prime Minister had insulted Chief Minister Kumar by not granting him the time sought to meet and discuss the matter.</p>
<p>Fresh demands for a caste-based Census have been triggered by a statement by the Centre in Parliament recently that an exercise to ascertain the population of only Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes was under consideration.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amid the rise over the GST council meeting not being held for over seven months, the Union Finance Ministry announced on Saturday that the next meeting will be held on May 28. The council headed by the Union Finance Minister and its including representatives from all the Union Territories and States were mandated to meet every quarter to talk on the issues at hand. They were mandated to meet after a dozen central and state levies such as excise duty, service tax and VAT services.</p>
<p>The GST council last met on October 5, 2020 to finalise the outline o borrowings by state to meet the shortfall in the tax revenues. The meeting was further extended and ended on October 12, 2020. The Union Chief Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will chair the 43rd meeting of the council. It was tweeted by her office.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Smt <a href="https://twitter.com/nsitharaman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nsitharaman</a> will chair the 43rd GST Council meeting via video conferencing at 11 AM in New Delhi on 28th May 2021. The meeting will be attended by MOS Shri <a href="https://twitter.com/ianuragthakur?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ianuragthakur</a> besides Finance Ministers of States &amp; UTs and Senior officers from Union Government &amp; States.</p>
<p>— NSitharamanOffice (@nsitharamanoffc) <a href="https://twitter.com/nsitharamanoffc/status/1393475190839922688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 15, 2021</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></p>
<p>Opposition parties of the states have been continuously complaining about not holding the GST Council meeting in the recent weeks. West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra wrote to Sitharaman earlier this week regarding the urgent need of the council meetings. He wrote that when GST was implemented, the states were promised that they will be compensated against any downfall in the tax revenues.</p>
