Are You Sharing Knowledge?" Akhilesh Yadav's Lok Sabha Banter

Tensions within the opposition INDIA bloc were evident in the Lok Sabha as Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav criticized the BJP while distancing himself from the Congress. Yadav highlighted the "inadequate attention" to the manufacturing sector post-1991 economic reforms and criticized both major parties over their handling of China's territorial claims. His comments followed Rahul Gandhi's assertion that the Army confirmed Chinese incursions into Indian territory, which Defence Minister Rajnath Singh dismissed, attributing land losses to the 1962 conflict. Yadav reiterated the need for a caste survey, emphasizing that the Congress had previously opposed this demand. As the Delhi elections approach, Yadav urged voters to support the AAP over Congress to effectively challenge the BJP. His remarks reflect the shifting dynamics within the opposition, with other INDIA allies also rallying behind the AAP, raising questions about leadership within the bloc following recent electoral setbacks for Congress. sources

7 Terrorists Killed Attempting Infiltration in Jammu, Aided by Pak Rangers

NEW DELHI: India thwarted an infiltration attempt in the Samba sector of Jammu and Kashmir last night, resulting in the deaths of seven terrorists, according to the Border Security Force (BSF). The BSF reported that Pakistan Rangers provided cover fire from the Dhandhar post to aid the infiltration, which was detected by surveillance systems. In response, Indian troops neutralised the threat and inflicted significant damage on the Pakistani military post, sharing video evidence of the destruction. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding Pakistan's role in supporting terrorism across the border, as India has consistently accused it of sheltering terrorists. The infiltration attempt followed a series of failed aerial strikes by Pakistan targeting Indian military bases and cities, all of which were intercepted without casualties. In anticipation of further attacks, civil administrations enforced a blackout in border areas, and air sirens were activated in Chandigarh, prompting residents to seek shelter. sources

Envoy: India at 'War' with Terrorists, Calls Them Monsters

India is determined to hold terrorists accountable for the recent Pahalgam attack, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, according to Indian Ambassador to the US Vinay Kwatra. In an interview with CNN, Kwatra condemned the attackers, describing them as "lowlifes" and "subhuman monsters," asserting that they would not be given a free pass. Following the attack, India launched 'Operation Sindoor' on May 7, targeting terror facilities in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir linked to the UN-proscribed group Lashkar-e-Taiba. Kwatra emphasized that the response was calibrated and proportionate, aimed at delivering justice to the victims. He criticized Pakistan for supporting terrorism rather than taking action against it, highlighting a pattern of denial regarding its involvement in terror activities. He urged the international community to pressure Pakistan to cease its support for terrorism, stressing that this remains the core issue of concern. sources

India's Anti-Tank Guided Missile Targets Pakistani Post Across LoC

NEW DELHI: The Indian Army has reportedly utilized Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) to target and destroy several Pakistani military posts across the Line of Control (LoC) in response to cross-border firing by Pakistani troops. This escalation follows a recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam that resulted in 26 fatalities. ATGMs are precision weapon systems designed to neutralize heavily armored vehicles, employing guided technology for enhanced accuracy. They deploy shaped charges to penetrate tank armor, with some modern variants featuring tandem warheads and dual-mode seekers for improved targeting. While advanced tanks can deploy reactive armor and active protection systems to counter these missiles, ATGMs remain a critical component in modern warfare, with over 130 countries employing them. Recently, India also conducted aerial strikes against terror camps in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir and successfully intercepted multiple drone attacks targeting military installations. sources

Indian Envoy's Photo Evidence of Pak-Sponsored Terror

India's High Commissioner to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, presented what he termed undeniable evidence of Pakistan's involvement in terrorism during an interview with Sky News, amidst rising tensions between the two nations. He displayed a photograph featuring Hafiz Abdur Rauf, a US-sanctioned terrorist and brother of Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar, at a funeral for terrorists killed by Indian forces, flanked by Pakistani military officials and draped in national flags.

He also highlighted Pakistan's lack of credible cooperation in past investigations, referencing the 2016 Pathankot attack and the 2008 Mumbai attacks, where evidence provided by India was disregarded. sources
