Patna, Jun 16: Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar will seek a vote of confidence on the floor of state assembly on June 19.

Speaking to reporters after meeting Bihar governor DY Patil, Nitish Kumar said the cabinet has decided to call a special session of Bihar assembly to prove the government's majority.

According to Times Now, Nitish Kumar, who met the governor on Sunday afternoon, informed him that his party's alliance with the BJP in the state was over.

Nitish apprised the governor of the political situation in the state and sought permission for a floor test.

Nitish Kumar is likely to sack all the BJP ministers, according to Times Now.

Earlier, the JD(U) held a crucial meeting Nitish Kumar's residence here to discuss on the decision to sever ties with BJP.

The party passed a strongly-worded resolution detailing the reasons behind its decision to end the 17-year-old alliance with the BJP in Bihar.

The meeting was attended by JD(U) president Sharad Yadav, who interacted with party MPs, ministers, legislators and other party leaders.

JD(U) general secretary KC Tyagi told reporters that there was no scope left for continuing in NDA after the alliance party gave a clear signal of choosing Narendra Modi as its prime ministerial candidate.

Earlier, Nitish Kumar held an emergency cabinet meeting at his residence without BJP ministers. The 11 BJP ministers, including deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi, did not attend the cabinet meeting saying it was "meaningless".

"What is the need for convening the cabinet meeting by the chief minister as all indications suggest that JD(U) has decided to split with the BJP-led NDA?" Bihar unit BJP president Mangal Pandey told reporters.

Indian Army officer, two soldiers killed as China turns violent in Ladakh

News Network

June 16,2020

New Delhi, June 16: Tensions along the Line of Control border between India and China have spiked with an Indian army officer and two soldiers killed in the Galwan area of Ladakh, the Indian army said in a statement on Tuesday.

This is the first time in decades that a clash involving casualties has taken place on the 3,488 kilometre border between India and China.

"During the de-escalation process underway in the Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday night with casualties. The loss of lives on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers. Senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting at the venue to defuse the situation," said an official statement.

The two sides had made headway in talks last week with army chief General MM Naravane saying disengagement was in progress. The development had come after weeks of tension, including an incident in which patrolling soldiers from the two sides came to blows on the banks of Pangong Lake, resulting in injuries.

The two armies have since thinned out some forces in a positive signal but soldiers, tanks and other armoured carriers remained heavily deployed in the high-altitude region, an official had said.

India and China fought a brief border war in 1962 and have not been able to settle their border despite two decades of talks. Both claim thousands of kilometres of territory and patrols along the undemarcated Line of Actual Control - the de-facto border - often run into each other, leading to tensions.
