  121. What can India gain or lose from Pak polls?Pakistan, with its checkered political history, is gearing up for its 11th General Elections since 1970, which will take place on July 25. The sixth largest country in the world with a population of about 200 million, Pakistan will witness with these elections only the second civilian transfer of power in its 71-year history.The upcoming elections have largely been a race between two main players--former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) and cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). According to data released by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), 105.9 million voters will be able to cast their vote in the crucial polls. Here is all you need to know about the main players:1. Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz)Nawaz Sharif-led Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) won a landslide victory in the country's last election, but has been bombarded with corruption cases and disqualifications. This poll has created a do-or-die situation for the incumbent party, which is now being helmed by Nawaz Sharif's brother, Shehbaz. The PML-N has been campaigning on the strength of its economic record, including energy and infrastructure projects that are part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.2. Imran Khan, Pakistan Tehreek-e-InsafCricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and PTI are the main challengers to PML(N) in this election. Many believe that Khan has the backing of the military, which continues to maintain immense influence in the country’s politics. Khan is contesting the elections with the promise to root out high-level corruption and to reform systems of governance, thus creating a 'Naya (new) Pakistan'. If the PTI wins enough seats in PML-N's heartland, Punjab, it could wrest the government from the Sharifs.3. Bilawal Zardari Bhutto, People’s Party of PakistanThe People’s Party of Pakistan is the only left-leaning political party in the country, and has been in government several times since its founding in 1967. It is being led by the 29-year-old son of the late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal Zardari Bhutto. He is also the grandson of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was deposed in the 1977 military coup.The Numbers GamePakistan’s powerful military has ruled the nuclear-armed country for nearly half its existence. For the years it has not been in power, it has picked favorites among politicians to head the country. The last general elections were held on May 11, 2013, where PML-N won the public mandate with an overwhelming majority and Nawaz Sharif was elected as prime minister. Pakistan has four provinces: Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.More than 105 million voters can cast their ballots for two seats in each constituency: one for the National Assembly (the lower house of the federal parliament) and one for their Provincial Assembly (which runs their provincial government). There are 272 directly elected and 70 reserved National Assembly seats up for grabs across the country. A party will need to bag at least 137 of the directly elected seats to be able to form the government on its own.Why India should careTies with India are probably one of the more important issues plaguing Pakistan ahead of the polls, and is the most complex part of each of the two countries' foreign policy. On July 3, Lashkar-e-Taiba co-founder, Hafiz Saeed, hit out at Pakistani politicians, calling them puppets of India and the US. "If we decide to vote for the slaves of the United States and the friends of (Prime Minister of India) Narendra Modi, then we are digging our own graves," Saeed said while addressing a political gathering in Okara city of Pakistan's Punjab province. "India, sitting in Afghanistan supported by the United States, is planning to divide Pakistan."Hafiz Saeed's son Hafiz Talha Saeed and his son-in-law Khalid Waleed are among 265 candidates fielded by the Jamaat-ud-Dawa for national and provincial assembly seats across Pakistan for the general elections, with the banned group's political wing vowing to make the country a "citadel of Islam". Saeed's party gaining electoral weight will be a worrying sign for India because that will mean mainstreaming of terrorist ideology. On the other hand, PML-N chief Shehbaz Sharif has asked India to continue peace talks with Islamabad, saying the Singapore summit between the US and North Korea should set a good precedent for the neighbours to follow.
  122. Iran becomes India's No. 2 oil supplier, ahead of Saudi- govt dataIran was the second-biggest oil supplier to Indian state refiners between April and June, India's oil minister said on Monday, replacing Saudi Arabia as companies took advantage of steeper discounts offered by Tehran. India, Iran's top oil client after China, shipped in 5.67 million tonnes, or about 457,000 barrels per day (bpd), of oil, from the country in the first three months of this fiscal year, Dharmendra Pradhan told lawmakers in a written reply. He did not provide comparable numbers from the year-ago period. Data compiled by Reuters shows that India imported about 3.46 million tonnes, or about 279,000 bpd, from Iran between April and June last year. State refiners, accounting for about 60 percent of India's 5 million bpd refining capacity, had curbed imports from Iran last year in protest against Tehran's move to grant development rights for the giant Farzad B gas field to other parties. The refiners - Indian Oil Corp, Chennai Petroleum Corp, Bharat Petroleum and its unit Bharat Oman Refineries Ltd, Hindustan Petroleum and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals - shipped in 9.8 million tonnes of Iranian oil in 2017/18, about a quarter less than a year ago, Pradhan's reply showed. For this fiscal year, the refiners had decided to almost double imports from Iran, which offered almost free shipping and extended credit period on oil sales. Iraq continued to be the top oil supplier to India in the April-June period. New Delhi shipped in 7.27 million tonnes of oil from Iraq, while shipments from Saudi Arabia totalled 5.22 million tonnes, making it the third largest supplier, Pradhan's statement showed. India and other major buyers of Iranian oil are under pressure to cut imports from the country after Washington in May withdrew from a 2005 nuclear deal with Tehran and decided to reimpose sanctions on the OPEC member. Reuters reported last month that India had asked refiners to prepare for drastic reductions or even zero Iranian oil imports. The first set of sanctions will take effect on Aug. 6 and the rest, notably in the petroleum sector, following a 180-day "wind-down period" ending on Nov. 4. "Indian refineries import crude oil from diverse sources including Iran, depending on technical and commercial considerations," Pradhan said, without elaborating if the refiners would cut imports from Tehran. India's overall oil imports from Iran in June declined by about 16 percent from May as refiners started weaning their plants off crude from Iran to avoid U.S. sanctions.
