Expensive art is being bought in Britain despite inflation at a 40-year high

Britain's - Rishi Sunak blows money

At a time when Britain is in dire straits, there are criticisms that public coffers are being squandered on expensive show-pieces. Inflation in Britain is at a forty-year high, people are questioning how Sunak can spend such a huge amount on a sculpture.

The honeymoon period of Indian-origin Rishi Sunak, who wore the thorny crown of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (UK), is over. Sunak is embroiled in a new controversy where MPs from his own party are questioning Sunak's performance.

The famous British sculptor Henry Moore created an abstract sculpture in 1980. Recently, this sculpture titled 'Working Model for Seated Woman' was auctioned by famous auction house Christie's. The government of Britain bought this sculpture for 13 lakh pounds i.e. 15 lakh dollars. The sculpture, valued at around Rs 12 crore in Indian currency, has caused a stir since it was placed in the garden of Sunak's official residence, 10 Downing Street.

At a time when Britain's economy is in dire straits, there are criticisms that government coffers full of public money are being blown on expensive show-pieces. Inflation in Britain is currently at a forty-year high. The prices of essential commodities have skyrocketed. The issue of how Sunak can spend such a huge amount on a sculpture is starting to be heard in Britain when the electricity bills are breaking down and the government itself is cutting the funds of the welfare schemes of the people in the name of bad economic condition. The British government has made it clear that neither Sunak nor any other government politician has any role behind the purchase of this sculpture. The sculpture has been purchased as it conveys a strong message of awareness among people about motherhood and pregnancy. Another reason for the purchase of the sculpture is that Britain has always been a leader in promoting social art.

However, people do not like this. Rather, the MPs of Sunak's party are not being embraced. Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is trying to sit on the throne again in Sunak's party. Elizabeth Truss is also not happy about having to abdicate. There are several others who hope to get a chance if Sunak moves, so they are all screwed. For the past 40 years, Moore's sculptures have been placed in the official residence of the Prime Minister of the UK. Before Moore's death in 1986, his foundation placed his sculpture at 10 Downing Street. In these circumstances, what was the need to buy a sculpture by spending so much money?

The British government currently owns around 14,000 pieces of expensive art. A section in Britain believes that instead of hoarding these specimens, they should be sold during rush hour and the amount should be spent on public welfare. Instead Sunak is putting an additional burden on the exchequer.

Given that the financial challenges facing Sunak are enormous, he needs to avoid such controversies. Political analysts believe that such controversies will damage his image and undermine all his efforts.

Unhappy with Sunke stopping him from meeting the media

It was a practice in Britain for years that every morning a minister would go to the TV and radio studios to give an interview. Through this interview, the work done by the government can be put in front of the people and the questions raised about the government work can also be answered.

Sunak's communication team put an end to this tradition as Sunak's team believes that the government is not benefiting from this quayat. On the contrary, negative stories are increased due to journalists asking oblique questions.

However, Sunak's party MPs are unhappy with this decision. The MPs believe that the leader of the opposition attacks the government every day by meeting the media but is not defended by the government, thus creating a negative image of the Conservative Party among the people. Britain has a tradition of liberal democracy. An impression is also being created that Sunak is running away from it.

China wants to control all the natural resources of the Indian Ocean

China's Anti-India Secret Agenda

India is the largest country in the Indian Ocean region. Given that fifty percent of India's border is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, India should have priority in this discussion. Instead, China did not bother to invite India, which means that China's charity is wasted.

A meeting called by China last week is being debated internationally as India was not invited to this meeting. Only India was excluded from this meeting with 20 countries in the Indian Ocean region on November 21. In the meeting called by the China Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA), the agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Australia, which is a member of Quad, a four-nation organization formed at the behest of America, was also invited, but India was completely left out, so the issue of what is the secret agenda of China is under discussion.

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially released the details of this meeting. It is claimed that the blue economy was discussed in the meeting held in Kuming, Yunnan province. The term blue economy refers to the activity of using ocean resources for economic development. Central to the Blue Economy is the idea of ​​how the oceans can be used for the economic benefit of mankind without harming the ocean's ecosystem.

Indian Ocean is one of the largest oceans in the world. The Indian Ocean has an inexhaustible wealth of different natural resources. China's official claim is that this meeting was convened to discuss how the countries in the Indian Ocean region can use this wealth.

Even if we accept this claim, India's omission does not provide a satisfactory answer. India is the largest country in the Indian Ocean region. Given that fifty percent of India's border is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, India should have priority in this discussion.

Instead, the fact that China did not even bother to invite India means that China's charity is wasted. China wants to enrich itself by occupying all the natural resources of the Indian Ocean, it is not ready to give anything to India.

China has an anti-India mindset and behaves as if India is its worst enemy. This is yet another example of this Chinese mentality.

India needs to be alert against this venture of China. China has increased military activities in the Indian Ocean in the name of trade. India is in danger because of its military bases in most of the countries located in the ocean. Now China is stepping into these countries in the name of economic development and cooperation.

Among these countries, except for Australia and South Africa, rest of the countries are not economically viable. China can easily buy them due to its economic strength, but there is a strong possibility that these countries will become vassals of China in the future. China will use it to occupy the natural resources of the Indian Ocean, so India has to wake up.

The organizer of the anti-India Zahohui sit-in

In the meeting called by China, there are countries like Pakistan and Sri Lanka, but apart from this, Indonesia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iran, Oman, South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Seychelles, Madagascar, Mauritius, Djibouti and Australia have participated. participated. Among these countries including Nepal were invited even though they have nothing to do with the Indian Ocean. It means that China is creating an anti-India axis.

Organized by Sidka of China. It is headed by Liu Zhaohui. Zahohui, who has served as ambassador to both India and Pakistan, is considered anti-India and pro-Pakistan. Due to this, there is a strong possibility that China is creating an axis to intimidate India.
