| Good evening! |
| Here’s everything that transpired during the course of the day… |
| Kulbhushan Jadhav’s wife and mother were harassed and forced to remove their mangalsutra, bindis, MEA said. What’s more, Jadhav’s mother and wife had to change clothes before they were allowed in to meet the Indian national, and on the way out Jadhav’s wife wasn’t given her footwear back, said the MEA. The MEA’s description of the meeting – tom-tommed by Pakistan as a “humanitarian gesture” – conveys the hostile and scary atmosphere that Jadhav’s family members got to see him under. Read. |

| China and Pakistan are looking at extending their $57 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan. China has tried to position itself as a helpful party to promote talks between Pakistan and Afghanistan, both uneasy neighbours ever since Pakistan’s independence in 1947. Their ties have been poisoned in recent years by Afghan accusations that Pakistan is supporting Taliban insurgents fighting the US-backed Kabul in order to limit the influence of its old rival, India, in Afghanistan. |
| The Indian security forces hit back at Pakistan, killing three Pakistani soldiers across the LoC in PoK. In retaliation for a ceasefire violation on Saturday, the Indian Army undertook an operation very reminiscent of last year’s surgical strikes. They crossed over to PoK early Tuesday, to Rakhchikri in the Rawlakot sector, and killed three Pakistani troops while also wounding one, agencies reported. Thus, India avenged the unprovoked and indiscriminate shelling and firing in the Keri sector by Pakistani troops. |

| India looks set to leapfrog Britain and France next year to become the world’s fifth-largest economy. The Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) consultancy’s 2018 World Economic League Table painted an upbeat view of the global economy, boosted by cheap energy and technology prices. India’s ascent is part of a trend that will see Asian economies+ increasingly dominate the top 10 largest economies over the next 15 years |
| The Congress today hinted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is like the cinematic ‘Bad Santa’. Congress spokesman Manish Tewari tweeted a day after Christmas to say that in the rest of the world “an old man with a white beard” – he meant Santa Claus – stuffed stockings with gifts and money. But in India, a similar looking “old man with a white beard” did quite the opposite, that is, relieved people of their money and left them only with their socks. And instead of coming down the chimney, he entered homes through the TV. |
