K'taka Minister Kharge writes to EAM Jaishankar seeking clarification on denial of clearance for US visit
Bengaluru: Minister for RDPR, IT and BT, Priyank Kharge, has written a letter to the External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Friday seeking clarification on denial of political clearance for an official visit to the United States. In his letter, Minister Kharge stated, 'I am writing to seek a formal clarification from the Ministry of External Affairs on the denial of political clearance for my scheduled official visit to the United States from June 14-27, 2025." "The visit was planned around two significant international forums, the BIO International Convention in Boston and the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco, as well as several official meetings with top companies, universities and institutions, where I was to represent the Government of Karnataka to explore collaborations, attract investments and create employment opportunities for the state,' he said. "In the absence of a formal communication from the Ministry outlining the reasons for denial, it becomes difficult to assess and plan future engagements of this nature. It also raises concerns about the consistency of the process, especially when the visits are official, sector-critical and in National Interest," Minister Kharge noted. 'I would, therefore, request the Ministry to kindly provide a formal explanation for the denial and consider a more transparent and consultative approach in handling such official engagements in the future,' Priyank Kharge demanded. Karnataka is the technology capital and growth engine of not just India, but the Asia-Pacific region. It has emerged as a global leader in innovation and start-ups, consistently maintaining its position at the forefront of information technology, biotechnology, electronics design and manufacturing, aerospace, space technology and Defence production, he further stated. This leadership has been built through a dynamic ecosystem powered by forward-looking State-led policies and deep global partnerships, earning Karnataka its status as a preferred destination for international collaboration and investment, Kharge stated. "Given Karnataka's unique leadership as stated above, the absence of ministerial-level representation during an official visit of such significance is a lost opportunity to further elevate India's engagement, strengthen confidence among global partners and demonstrate the seriousness with which we approach these sectors. More importantly, participation in such visits are aligned with our National priorities and would have directly supported the larger vision of 'Viksit Bharat' laid out by the Prime Minister," Kharge emphasised. Commenting on the Central government's denial of permission for his visit to the US, Minister Priyank Kharge had stated on Thursday that the NDA government was attempting to undermine Karnataka's success. Speaking to reporters at the Bengaluru International Airport after returning from a tour of Paris, Priyank Kharge had said, 'It seems they are trying to prevent Karnataka's success.' 'It is okay if they reject the permission, but there must be valid reasons for doing so. If they provide appropriate reasons, it becomes acceptable. However, the categorical denial of permission for the US visit is not right,' he stated. 'We were not going to the US to play 'Dandiya' (a traditional dance form). I will meet Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to discuss this matter. After the discussion, we will brief the media,' he said. "The Central government must provide valid reasons for refusing the visit to the US. Initially, the entire delegation was denied permission. Later, the delegation was cleared, but I was still denied permission,' Kharge said.

Priyank Kharge to write to MEA seeking explanation on denying permission for official U.S. trip
Karnataka's Information Technology/ Biotechnology and Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) Minister Priyank Kharge said that he will write to the Ministry of External Affairs seeking a valid explanation on the Centre denying him permission to travel to the U.S. on a scheduled official trip. Addressing presspersons here after returning from Paris on Wednesday night, Mr. Kharge said he will also request Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to write to the Prime Minister in this regard. Mr. Kharge was scheduled to attend multiple events in the U.S., including the BIO International Convention in Boston and the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco. However, due to denial of permission, he was forced to cut short his ongoing trip and returned from Paris to Bengaluru on Wednesday night. Centre's authority Acknowledging the Centre's authority to decline permission, he asserted that there should be a justification for this decision. 'We are okay with the denial but give us reasons. Rejecting my official tour without a valid reason is unjustifiable. My visit to the US was not to discuss politics but to attract investments. People in the US have no time to listen to our politics. We were going there to invite them to invest in Karnataka. The investment that comes to Karnataka will not only benefit the State but also the Centre,' he said. 'During my visit I was scheduled to interact with multinational companies to attract investments to Karnataka. We are competing not just with other neighbouring states such as Telangana and Tamil Nadu. We are ahead of the curve and we are competing with other countries such as China, Vietnam and the Philippines. How will they know our policy? We have to go there, make a presentation and pitch our proposals. It appears that the Centre is trying to curtail Karnataka's economic growth,' the Minister said. Alleging that the Prime Minister had 'outsourced' its foreign policy, Mr Kharge said he had now also outsourced the country's investment policy. Stating that he would take it up with the Centre, Mr Kharge said, 'I am going to write to the MEA seeking a valid explanation on why permission and support from the Centre was denied to our delegation.'

Pakistan, China shaking with fear as India to get this new missile soon, its name is…, capable of… QRSAM Missile System: In view of the recent escalation of conflict between India and Pakistan and the ongoing tensions with China, the Indian government is focusing on strengthening the country's air defence system. The Defence Ministry, in the coming months, will present a crucial proposal to the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), in which there is a plan to include the Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) system. This missile system will play a significant role in strengthening the security of the country's borders. The recent conflict with Pakistan has shown the importance of a powerful air defence system, where India's S-400 detected and destroyed Pakistan's suicide drones and missiles. Let's know more. As per reports, the Indian Defence Ministry is planning to purchase as many as three regiments of QRSAM missiles with an estimated cost of Rs 30,000 crore. These missiles will be deployed in the western and northern borders. The proposal will be placed for approval in the DAC meeting to be held in the last week of June 2025. QRSAM Missile Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile is capable of detecting and destroying enemy's aircraft, drones and missiles, specially those flying at high speeds. Developed by DRDO in collaboration with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), this missile system will be a game changer in safeguarding India's borders from air strikes. QRSAM Missile Features The missile's speed is up to 6000 km per hour. Apart from this, its range is from 3 to 30 kms. Also, its height ranges from 98 feet to 33,000 feet. This missile system will work with India's existing MRSAM and Akash systems, further strengthening security against enemy's aerial threats. Deployment Of QRSAM India's air defence capabilities will be significantly enhanced by the QRSAM system, improving its alertness, accuracy, and overall effectiveness. This system is expected to be crucial in deterring future air attacks and intrusions.
