Deep dives
PM Modi's Significant Visit to Austria Post Russia Trip
After concluding his visit to Russia, Prime Minister Modi visited Austria, marking the first Indian PM visit in 41 years. This visit was crucial as India needed a balanced act after the tough Russia visit within hours of a Russian missile attack. Austria's neutrality and Western presence suited the situation, allowing Modi to convey anti-war messages amid conflicts.
Historical Support and Continued Relations Between India and Austria
Former Prime Minister Nehru supported Austria's independence in the 1950s, strengthening bilateral ties. In later years, high-level visits between the countries continued, enhancing relations. Recent collaborations have flourished, especially with the involvement of Austrian Foreign Minister Schallenberg, whose Indian connections boosted diplomatic rapport and fostered progress in various sectors.
Police Operation and Conclusion of Burger King Shooting Allegations
Police took down three men allegedly involved in the Burger King shooting, part of a gang conflict in Delhi. The suspects planned the victim's murder, leading to a fatal crossfire with the police. Identified gang members linked to past crimes faced charges, highlighting law enforcement's efforts in cracking down on criminal activities in the region.
First, Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy talks to us about the significance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Austria followed by his visit to Russia. He shares the message delivered by his speeches in both the countries and about the bilateral relations between India and Austria.
Next, Indian Express’ Arnabjit Sur speaks to us about an incident where three men were gunned down by the police, two of whom were allegedly behind the Burger King shooting in the capital last month. The suspects opened fire when the police asked them to surrender and when the police shot back in defense, the two accused and a third man were killed. (12:25)
