Estonia invites neutral Sweden to take part in NATO military drills in 2017
Estonian Defense Minister Hannes Hanso invited Sweden, a non-NATO member, to engage in joint military exercises in 2017 dubbed “Spring Storm” during a meeting with Peter Hultqvist, his Swedish counterpart, on Saturday, according to the press-service of the Estonian Defense Ministry. “We were not supposed to pay special attention to the security in the region during the meeting, since our positions on this matter are the same. I invited Sweden to take part in the ambitious Spring Storm military drills in 2017 so that our soldiers could gain experience in cooperating with each other,” Hanso said.
Venezuela president Maduro extend emergency
Maduro extended the state of emergency, two US intelligence officials, briefing a small group of reporters in Washington, said the Venezuelan president will not survive office to run for re-election, as a “plausible” scenario would see Maduro fall from grace at the hands of his own politicians.
“You can hear the ice cracking. You know there’s a crisis coming,” one official said. “Our pressure on this isn’t going to resolve this issue.”
“This is really not the case that the US is rooting for any outcome other than there not be an economic meltdown or social violence,” another official said. “There are reasons for concern that over the summer as Venezuela gives importance to payments on debt over imports that these events could spiral.”
There are reports of widespread looting, the deteriorating economic situation has led to a number of protests in the country. On Wednesday, Venezuelan security forces used tear gas and pepper spray against an opposition march. The protesters were trying to reach the headquarters of the electoral board after submitting a petition signed by almost two million people calling for a referendum to oust Maduro.
Large-scale demonstrations are planned for Saturday in Caracas by opponents of the government and by socialists amid fears they could lead to violence.
Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro, on a possible coup has extended a state of emergency in the country for another 60 days, citing an “onslaught of the oligarchy” in collusion with the US.
“Washington is activating measures at the request of Venezuela’s fascist right, who are emboldened by the coup in Brazil,”Maduro said during a Friday night broadcast on state television.
Maduro said he fears possible intervention by foreign armies and explained that the new emergency decree includes the ability to face these external threats.
An economic state of emergency has been in force in the oil-rich country since January, including rationing of food and other goods. The country is facing economic ruin largely because of the crash in oil prices. To reverse the downturn, Maduro said he had issued some 21 decrees within the framework of the Constitution, since the measures were introduced“to protect the people and socio-economic stability of the country.”
Addressing the nation, the president warned that the “virus of the coup” could return to Latin America, after Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was suspended from office earlier this week during impeachment proceedings.
“We have already seen the image …[of] the oligarchy signing and removing power to the people,” the Venezuelan president said, claiming the Brazilian parliament ousted Rousseff in “a totally unfair play,” dubbing the now former president “a woman of great honesty, great courage, who knew how to confront dictatorship and torture.”
He noted that since the United States remains in “a complicit silence”regarding the impeachment in Brazil, Washington’s “ultimate goal” is to stop the BRICS group (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) from threatening US global dominance.

For the first time in its history, the Indian Space Research Organisation (#ISRO) is set to undertake the maiden launch of its very own version of a ‘space shuttle’, a fully made-in-India effort.
Very soon and if all goes well possibly before the monsoon sets in, India’s space port at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh will witness the launch of the indigenously made Reusable Launch Vehicle – Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD).
After launch, it will be glided back onto a virtual runway in the Bay of Bengal. This flight will test the capability of the vehicle to survive a re-entry at speeds higher than that of sound, so it is called a hyper sonic experiment (HEX).

CAIT PLAN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST PARTIES OPPOSING GST
ACCUSE CONGRESS OF ADOPTING DOUBLE STANDARDS
In the wake of extreme delay in implementation of GST and being highly perturbed with ongoing game of political scoring on GST, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) today sent a communication to Congress President Mrs. Sonia Gandhi urging her to support GST so that the much awaited tax reform in the Country should see light of the day. The CAIT has accused Congress of adopting double standards since on jewelers issue it was pro-active but on GST issue it diid not bother to consult the traders so far. The CAIT has decided to launch a nationwide aggressive protest campaign on GST which will include various protests against all such parties who are opposing GST. The CAIT has convened a meeting of its National Governing Council on forthcoming 20-21 June at New Delhi to finalise future course of action on GST.
” We can not wait for an indefinite period for roll out of GST and being one of the prime carriers of taxation system we can not be a mute spectator any more and enjoy every right to intervene in the matter and seek early implementation of GST in India. We want GST to be passed in next session of the Parliament at any cost”-said CAIT National President Mr. B.C.Bhartia & Secretary General Mr. Praveen Khandelwal ..Meanwhile the CAIT has decided to meet leaders of all political parties urging them to support GST whereas it will send memorandum to Chief Ministers of all States. The protest campaign will include protest march, burning of effigies of the leaders opposing GST, protest rally. A Bharat Bandh in protest against lethargic attitude of the political parties is also not ruled out by CAIT.
In its communication to Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, the CAIT said that the roadblocks are giving a dismal picture of such an important tax reform in the Country which has become more of a political battle rather than a tax reform. We understand that scoring of political points is an essential ingredient of democratic system but tax reform like GST must be kept much above of any political agenda. We are constrained to note that in matter of GST, the polity has failed to pass litmus test.
Taking a jib at Congress Vice President Shri Rahul Gandhi, the CAIT said that Rahul Gandhi took a suo-motto cognizance of the recent strike by jewelers fraternity on matter of excise and even attended trader’s rally for which we express our gratitude. But we are sorry to note that on issue of GST, which is crucial to traders, the Congress party has not came out with similar spirit in engaging with trade so far to elicit their view point. It would have been better if efficiency shown on jewelers issue could have been applied on GST might have fetched laurels. It speaks how serious the Congress party is about this important issue.
It also said that it is a known fact that the trade & industry is subject to multiple taxation & multiple authorities making the tax administration more complex. Subsuming of various Central & State level taxes in GST will simplify & rationalise tax structure and will make compliance more easy and will also offload stakeholders from much paperwork. However, the stalling of GST Bill has vitiated our hopes to a great extent.
It is pertinent to mention that we also have our own concerns about proposed GST but stalling of passage of GST Bill in Parliament, is depriving us from the opportunity of being heard since after passing of the Bill in Parliament, the process of separate legislation for Central GST (CGST), Integrated GST (IGST) will be tabled in Parliament and State GST (SGST) will be passed by State legislatures and such time will give an opportunity to the stakeholders to submit their concerns-said CAIT. It has sought audience with Mrs. Sonia Gandhi on this complex issue.
