 State of Working India 2023: Social Identities and Labour Market Outcomes https://publications.azimpremjiuniversity.edu.in/5166/1/State_of_Working_India_2023_ebook_revised.pdf  Azim Premji University, September 2023  On the one hand, the economy has grown rapidly since the 1980s, drawing millions of workers out of agriculture. And the proportion of salaried or regular wage workers has risen while that of casual workers has fallen. On the other hand, manufacturing has failed to expand its share of GDP or employment significantly. Instead, construction and informal services have been the main job creators. Further, the connection between growth and good jobs continues to be weak.

Mahesh Jethmalani Wants Police Action Against Sonia Gandhi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n9xceZSUg4 MJ says" A police case should be lodged against Congress's Sonia Gandhi over her association with a forum that openly supports the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from India, Mrs Gandhi, he pointed out, has not issued any denial or distanced herself from the website, she is criminally liable and a police case should be filed against her immediately under the UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act)

https://x.com/JethmalaniM/status/1866682101136843216 @Jethmalani  #SoniaGandhi’s co-presidency of the Forum of Democratic Leaders - Asia Pacific (FDL-AP) not only establishes her links with #GeorgeSoros, as the Forum is heavily financed by the George Soros Foundation, but also exposes her to grave criminal charges under the #UAPA in view of the public advocacy of independence for #Kashmir by the Forum. #PriyankaVadra’s dismissal of her mother’s links with Soros in a concerted promotion of Kashmiri separatism is a vacuous response that reveals a reckless disregard for India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. 

 BJP is spreading ‘fake news’, says French media house Mediapart  https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/bjp-spreading-fake-news-says-french-media-house/article68966777.ece 10th December
Mediapart said that it “firmly condemns the instrumentalisation of its recently published investigative article about OCCRP by the Bharatiya Janata Party... in order to serve BJP’s political agenda and attack press freedom”

U.S. State Department should clarify allegations over OCCRP, says BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi  https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/allegations-on-occrp-bjp-only-quoting-media-report-up-to-us-state-department-to-clarify-says-bjp/article68964599.ece The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday (December 9, 2024) said the allegations made by the party on the U.S. State Department with regard to the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) was based on the media report by French publication Mediapart and that it was up to the U.S. State Department to clarify. 

US rejects allegations by BJP, says they are 'disappointing' https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/us-rejects-allegations-by-bjp-says-they-are-disappointing-101733642197744.html  The US spokeman said "The US government works with independent organisations on programming that supports professional development and capacity building training for journalists. This programming does not influence the editorial decisions or direction of these organisations.”

“It has always been the US State Department behind this agenda...In fact, 50% of OCCRP's funding comes directly from the US State Department,” one of the posts by the BJP on X said.

The OCCRP, based in Amsterdam, is a network of investigative journalists that focuses on reporting on organised crime and corruption. In a statement issued on December 2, OCCRP denied that is influenced by its donors. “OCCRP has no limits on its journalism and no donor influences our reporting,” the statement said.

त्रुटि सुधार - इस वीडियो में हमने ग़लती से कह दिया कि सांसद निशिकांत दुबे ने राहुल गांधी पर संसद में निजी टिप्पणी की है। यह जानकारी ग़लत है, यह टिप्पणी केंद्रीय मंत्री गिरिराज सिंह ने संसद के बाहर की है। हमने वह पंक्ति हटा दी है। इस ग़लती के लिए हमें खेद है। 

जिस मीडिया संगठन मीडियापार्ट की रिपोर्ट का हवाला देकर बीजेपी ने राहुल गांधी और सोनिया गांधी पर देशद्रोह के आरोप लगाए, उसी संस्थान ने कह दिया है कि बीजेपी उसकी रिपोर्ट के नाम पर झूठी ख़बरें फैला रही है। यह वही मीडियापार्ट है जिसकी रफ़ाल पर की गई खोजी रिपोर्टों को बीजेपी अतीत में अस्वीकार कर चुकी है। बीजेपी ने अमरीकी एजेंसियों और जॉर्ज सोरोस पर भारत के ख़िलाफ़ षड्यंत्र के आरोप लगाए हैं, डीप स्टेट का नाम लिया है। जेपीसी की माँग भी की है। अगर इस मामले में केंद्र की सरकार जेपीसी का गठन करती है तो क्या उम्मीद की जा सकती है कि विपक्ष की माँग को मानते हुए अदाणी मामले में भी जेपीसी का गठन होगा?
