All of them were working in Al Dara, a prominent leader in agribusiness; specialising in cultivation, production and trading of animal feed and essential human food commodities such as rice, flour, fruits and vegetables. The company has witnessed unmatched growth fuelled by an active foreign investment strategy, establishing various acquisitions and joint ventures with specialised feed and food producers worldwide.
The Indian Naval personnel were training the Qatar Army and were known as Instructors. They have been accused of passing sensitive information to outsiders.
My take
This is a fallout of India's support to Israel when the Hamas terrorists had carried out the deadly attack on Israel, killing many and raping women and young children.
The sad part is that just like many of the Muslim nations who are supporting the Hamas terrorist network, the opposition parties in India like the Congress, the Communists, the TMC and Owaisi have been making calls in support of Palestinians - without speaking against Hamas. They are being called - hold your breath - ''freedom fighters"
With the impending elections in five state Assemblies and the General Elections in May 2024, they will try to take maximum mileage of exploiting the situation to discredit Prime Minister Modi for supporting Israel on their war on terror. Shameless and anti-national, if one were to ask me! I'm pretty sure that Modi and Jaishankar will come up trumps because ours is a principled stand!!
The hapless mariners will be brought home safely.
Tailpiece.
Got up at a trifle before 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 9.
A quiet Thursday.
