- India's Agriculture Minister says farmers being misled, nothing wrong in farm laws
- Opposition PDM announces ‘long march’, joint participation in Pakistan’s Senate elections
- Will never allow extremism to rise again, says Sri Lankan President on Easter bombings
India's Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Friday said in the Parliament that nothing is wrong in the new farm laws, but there is a problem in the ongoing farmers' protest as they are being misled. His comments were met with strong objections from the members of the Opposition, who also criticized the government for erecting barricades at the protest sites, resembling the Berlin Wall. India's central bank kept rates steady at record low levels as expected on Friday and said it would maintain support for the economy's recovery from the pandemic by ensuring ample liquidity for markets to absorb a massive government borrowing programme. The repo rate, RBI's key lending rate was held at 4% while the reverse repo rate, the borrowing rate was left unchanged at 3.35%. The Pakistan Democratic Movement has announced a long march against Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government on March 26 and that the opposition parties in the PDM will contest the upcoming Senate elections jointly. The march is being seen as one of the major components of the opposition's anti-government movement, which began last year. The Supreme Court of Nepal has issued a show-cause notice in response to a writ petition filed against the controversial appointment of 32 officials to various constitutional bodies by Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli without a parliamentary hearing. The order has been issued in the name of the defendants including the President’s Office, and the Prime Minister’s Office to explain the rationale behind the decision within 15 days. Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa while asserting that he will never allow extremism to "raise its head again" in the country, said that he has received the final report of a panel probing the 2019 Easter Sunday blasts and his government will bring the perpetrators to justice. Addressing the nation on the 73rd Independence Day on Thursday, Rajapaksa said he has already given instructions to implement the report's recommendations. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Washington’s special envoy for Afghanistan reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, and discussed the way forward in Afghanistan. This comes as no peace talks have been held between the Afghan government and the Taliban negotiators in Doha over the last 19 days. Chess has already grown more popular recently as people pursued it as a hobby at home while under siege from the coronavirus pandemic. But in Afghanistan, chess-playing has been considered a sport for men. However, Zahra Ebrahim from the city of Mazar-e-Sharif has been determined to promote the culture of chess playing among women in the country. In a first, a cricket championship was organised on snow in Srinagar city of India's Jammu & Kashmir, providing an opportunity to the youngsters to play the sport even in winters.
