Mann suspended from LS NEW DELHI, Dec 9: AAP member Bhagwant Mann, who was held guilty by a parliamentary panel of put- ting the security of Parliament House at risk, was today sus- pended from the Lok Sabha for the remainder of the Winter Session. The House approved a motion put by Kirit Somaiya, who headed the 9-member committee probing the videog- raphy issue, after it tabled the report yesterday. "That the House having taken note of the report of the committee to inquire into the improper conduct of a member of the Lok Sabha accepts the findings and recommendations of the committee that Bhagwant Mann has committed a highly objectionable act which is unbecoming of a member of the House and that he may be suspended from the membership of the House for the remaining period of the cur- rent session...," the motion read. The Session will conclude on December 16. The committee in its report had held that the conduct of 43- year-old Mann, who had landed in a controversy in July after live-streaming from Parliament House on social media, was "highly objectionable" which showed him "bereft of basic knowledge, etiquettes and responsibilities of the office he holds". Asking Mann to refrain from such misdemeanour, the committee in its recommenda- tions impressed upon him the "utmost need for strict adher- ence to norms and standards of etiquette, due compliance of the rules of procedure and well settled rich traditions of Parliament." (PTI) Akbar takes dig at Sino-Pak friendship NEW DELHI, Dec 9: In a veiled dig at Sino- Pakistan friendship, Minister of State for External Affairs M J Akbar today said a "mature" friend is far more valuable than a "hysterical" partner. Addressing the first India- China think-tank forum here, Akbar also said the time has come for India and China to regain the reputation of being a global manufacturing hub. He referred to the past when India accounted for 24 per cent of the global manufacturing output and China 30 per cent. "There cannot be any situa- tion in which two nations do not have some differences. Of course, there will be some but mature nations can take their problems to a decent space of a dialogue table. "A mature friend is far, far more valuable than a hysterical partner," Akbar said at the inau- guration of the two-day forum. His remarks appeared an indi- rect message to China which describes Pakistan as a "all weather ally" and has strong defence and trade ties with it. In the backdrop of the sever- al terror strikes carried out in India by Pakistan-based groups, Akbar said dangers from terror- ism are not limited to the fact that it kills people but also in its use of fear to divide people, especially in societies and nations which are built on plu- ralism. He warned that complacence was absolutely the "biggest dan- ger" while dealing with new realities posed by terrorism. Commenting on the current situation in the region, the Minister said, "Peace is sometimes more difficult to find than war." He also said in the post British empire era, both India and China agreed that religion cannot be the basis of national- ism. "In the (Indian) sub-conti- nent this idea was challenged by votaries of the Muslim League, who argued that religion could be basis of nation state. Parallel story that religion on which they wanted nation state, Islam, there is no history of Islam being basis of political unity," he said.
