India is placed 101 out of 116 countries in the Global Hunger Index, which was released on Thursday. India is one of the 31 countries where severe hunger has been identified. In the Global Hunger Index (GHI) released last year, India was rated 94th out of 107 countries.

 

India was also lagging behind the majority of its neighbors. Pakistan was ranked 92nd, Nepal was ranked 76th, and Bangladesh was likewise ranked 76th. According to current forecasts based on the Global Hunger Index (GHI), the globe as a whole — and 47 countries in particular — will not be able to reach even low levels of hunger by 2030.

Nepal’s new Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba is set to face a vote of confidence in the reinstated lower House of Parliament on Sunday, according to media reports. Deuba, 75, the Nepali Congress president, took the oath of office and secrecy on July 13, a day after a five-member Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana reinstated the dissolved House of Representatives for the second time in five months.

The lower house was unconstitutionally dissolved by President Bidya Devi Bhandari for the second time in five months on May 22 at the recommendation of then Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli.

The first meeting of the restored House will be held at 4 pm local time Sunday at the Federal Parliament Building, New Baneshwar.

The President had summoned the meeting of both the Houses of the Parliament on Sunday.

Government spokesperson and Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Gyanendra Karki registered the trust motion at the Federal Parliament Secretariat, myrepublica.com reported.

“A proposal for the vote of trust has already been registered in the Parliament Secretariat,” said Shreedhar Neupane, a press advisor of Speaker Agni Sapkota, told The Kathmandu Post.

“The prime minister will go for a floor test in the second meeting of the House of Representatives today (Sunday),” he said.
The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) and the Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP’s) Upendra Yadav faction have decided to vote in Deuba’s favour during the vote of confidence.

Former Prime Minister and senior leader of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) Jhalanath Khanal, who is undergoing treatment at a hospital in New Delhi, has issued a statement, asking his party’s lawmakers to vote in favour of Deuba.

The Nepal Supreme Court on Monday reinstated the dissolved House of Representatives and ordered the appointment of Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba  as Prime minister within two days. The five judge bench led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana had concluded hearings in the case last week.

Reacting to SC’s decision CPN-UML spokesperson and former foreign minister Pradeep Gyawali told TOI the order is unexpected and contrary to fundamental principles of Constitution.

“Wrong and unjustifiable but will abide by it,” he said.

Nepal’s President Bidya Bhandari had dissolved the lower house for the second time in five months on May 22 and announced snap elections on November 12 and November 19 based on PM KP Sharma Oli’s recommendation.

As many as 30 petitions were filed at the Supreme Court against the move. A petition filed by the opposition parties’ alliance had demanded the reinstatement of the Lower House of Parliament and appointment of Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba as the prime minister. The Constitutional Bench of the apex court concluded the hearings on the writ petitions on July 5. A four-member amicus curiae also presented its opinion on the House dissolution case.

Nepal’s interim Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli stated on Monday that Yoga evolved in Nepal, stressing that India was not present when Yoga first appeared in the globe. Mr. Oli made the remarks while speaking at an event commemorating International Yoga Day at his home in Baluwatar. He further alleged that Indian experts were withholding information about it.

Since its establishment in the United Nations General Assembly in 2014, the International Day of Yoga has been observed yearly on June 21. Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed the date of 21 June in his UN address since it is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and has particular importance in many areas of the world.

The political crisis that has arisen in Nepal since the suspension of the House of Representatives by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli in December last year has not been postponed.
 The Janata Samajwadi Party is exploring its options amid the factionalism in the ruling CPN-UMal (Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist).
 The meeting of the Executive Committee of the Janata Samajwadi Party (Jaspa), called to try new power equations in Nepal, was postponed on Thursday.
 Party leader Rajendra Mahato said that the meeting has been canceled due to non-completion of ‘homework’.

 At the same time, another leader Ganganarayan Shrestha had told the BBC before the notice of adjournment of the meeting that the party could form an opinion on the displacement of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s government.

Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, badly trapped in the domestic politics, has again called India’s territories to divert the attention of the people of his country. His statement is also important because there is going to be a foreign minister level talk between the two countries regarding the border dispute.
The Nepalese Prime Minister trapped in the clutches of China made this attempt to provoke India in his address to the National Assembly. Oli said that the withdrawal of these three areas is on the agenda of Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali, who is going to India to discuss the border dispute. On the invitation of Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, Gyawali is coming to India on 14 January to attend the Nepal-India Joint Commission meeting at the sixth level of Foreign Minister level.
Oli said that according to the Sugauli agreement, Kalapani, Limpiyadhura and Lipulekh are located in the east of the Mahakali river and are part of Nepal. “We will have diplomatic talks with India and our foreign minister is also going to India,” he said. He added, ‘Today, we are facing difficulties in taking back our land, because after the Indo-China war in 1962, when the Indian military forces started building their base in these areas, the Nepali rulers took control of their territories. Never tried to take it back. ‘
