In a significant political upheaval just days before Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's visit to Bihar, 17 prominent leaders from Katihar district have defected to the BJP, raising concerns about Congress's viability in the state. The defections, spearheaded by Vikas Singh of the INTUC, come amid serious allegations against senior Congress figure Tariq Anwar, accused of fostering an "anti-upper caste mentality." Singh claimed that this shift reflects growing resentment towards Anwar's leadership, which has alienated upper-caste supporters crucial to electoral success in Katihar. He warned of further defections, stating that many more Congress workers are poised to join the BJP. This exodus poses a significant challenge for Anwar, whose credibility and traditional support base are now at risk, particularly with upcoming assembly elections on the horizon. The situation underscores the internal discontent within Congress and the potential erosion of its influence in a region long considered a stronghold.

This event catalyzed Pakistan to advance its nuclear ambitions, culminating in its own tests in 1998. Fifty-one years later, Prime Minister Narendra Modi utilized the same date to assert that India would not tolerate nuclear blackmail from Pakistan, demanding the dismantling of its terror infrastructure as a prerequisite for peace. Modi's address followed India's 'Operation Sindoor,' a military response to a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 civilians, during which India targeted nine terrorist bases in Pakistan. Echoing historical precedents, Modi emphasized that while peace is essential, it must be underpinned by strength, stating, "The path of peace also goes through power."

Published: May 12 2025, 10 pmeznews.inDuring 'Operation Sindoor,' India effectively safeguarded its airspace and military assets against a barrage of Pakistani drones, missiles, and rockets through a sophisticated network of air defence systems, primarily managed by the Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS). This automated system integrates data from various military forces to identify, track, and neutralise aerial threats. The IACCS, operational since its inception in 2003, relies on the Air Force Network (AFNET), launched in 2010, which revolutionised India's communication capabilities for modern warfare. The multi-layered air defence system includes short- and long-range missile systems, ensuring comprehensive coverage against potential aerial attacks. Notably, the Akashteer air defence system has been integrated with IACCS to enhance coordination among the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The successful interception of threats during the operation underscores the effectiveness of India’s advanced air defence strategy, which has evolved significantly over the past decade.

Modi asserted that this operation signifies India's commitment to justice and a new approach to dealing with terrorism, stating that India will not tolerate nuclear blackmail and will hold both state sponsors and masterminds accountable. He urged Pakistan to dismantle its terror infrastructure for peace and reiterated that any dialogue would focus solely on terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Modi concluded with a call for unity against terrorism, asserting that a powerful India is essential for peace and prosperity.
Published: May 12 2025, 9 pmeznews.inIn a recent analysis, Austrian combat aviation expert Tom Cooper described India’s response to Pakistani aggression during Operation Sindoor as a "clear-cut victory." He attributed this success to India's superior firepower and advanced multi-layered air defense system, which Pakistan lacks. Cooper noted that the Indian Air Force (IAF) launched precision strikes on May 10, deploying BrahMos and SCALP-EG missiles against key Pakistan Air Force bases. Significant damage was reported, including a direct hit on a C-130 Hercules at Nurkhan Air Base and severe impacts at Bholari Air Base, where injuries to personnel and damage to aircraft occurred. Cooper emphasized that after these assaults, Pakistan had little capability to retaliate, prompting Islamabad to seek a ceasefire. His insights reflect a growing consensus on India's military advantage in this recent conflict, underscoring the strategic implications of the air operations conducted by the IAF.
