Hyderabad Man Claims to Be Taj Mahal's True Heir

Prince Yakub Habeebuddin Tucy, a self-proclaimed descendant of Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor, asserts he is the rightful owner of the Taj Mahal. The sixth-generation heir from Hyderabad has submitted a DNA report to support his claims in court and challenged Princess Diya Kumari of Jaipur to present official documentation regarding the monument. Tucy has also contested the Waqf Board's ownership of the land where the Babri Masjid once stood, insisting that, as a Mughal descendant, he should inherit it. Despite this, he has expressed support for the construction of the Ram Temple on the site, donating Rs 1.80 crore worth of golden bricks. Additionally, Tucy serves as the caretaker of Aurangzeb's grave in Maharashtra and has called for its protection amid threats from right-wing groups advocating for its demolition. sources

Pakistan Among World's Most Dangerous Terrorism Hotspots: Sources

Government sources in India have accused Pakistan of being a major sponsor of global terrorism, citing admissions from senior Pakistani leaders regarding their involvement in attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai strikes. Following a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, which left 26 dead, officials highlighted Pakistan's role in training and funding terrorist groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. They referenced a 2011 operation that revealed Osama bin Laden's presence in Pakistan and noted the country's history of supporting attacks on Indian and American embassies, among others. In response to the Pahalgam incident, India is reportedly considering military action, while Pakistan has called for an international inquiry. The United Nations has urged both nations to avoid escalation, as Pakistan's Defence Minister expressed willingness to cooperate with investigations. Meanwhile, India has implemented non-military measures, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, prompting reciprocal actions from Pakistan. sources

National Security Advisory Board Reformed After Pahalgam Attack Tensions

NEW DELHI: In response to heightened security concerns following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian government has restructured the National Security Advisory Board, appointing former intelligence chief Alok Joshi as its new chairman. Joshi, who previously led the Research and Analytical Wing (R&AW), will oversee a seven-member board that includes distinguished retired officers from the armed forces, police, and foreign service. Notable members include former Western Air Commander Air Marshal PM Sinha, former Southern Army Commander Lt Gen AK Singh, and Rear Admiral Monty Khanna, alongside retired IPS officers Rajiv Ranjan Verma and Manmohan Singh, and B Venkatesh Varma from the Indian Foreign Service. This revamp comes in the wake of the tragic massacre in Jammu and Kashmir, where 25 tourists and a pony ride operator were killed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pledged to pursue the terrorists responsible and convened a high-level Cabinet Committee on Security meeting to address the situation. sources

A 'Third' Player in the India-Pakistan Conflict Emerges

Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces a pivotal decision following a terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, with implications for both India and Pakistan. Modi has vowed to punish the perpetrators and intensify the fight against terrorism, leading to an immediate suspension of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT), a significant diplomatic move that Pakistan has labeled an act of war. Expectations are growing for a military response that could surpass previous operations like the Balakot strikes. However, Modi must balance a show of strength with the risk of escalation, especially given Pakistan's ties to China, which has pledged support for Islamabad's security concerns. The IWT suspension could exacerbate internal unrest in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh, while India may seek to leverage its diplomatic advantages to manage the situation. As both nations prepare for potential military actions, the geopolitical landscape remains tense. sources

Excess Water to Pakistan If Haryana's Bhakra Dam Request Approved

Haryana Chief Minister Saini has called on Punjab to supply drinking water amid escalating tensions over water-sharing, warning that excess water from the Bhakra reservoir could flow to Pakistan without adequate storage. This plea comes after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty following a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Saini emphasized the urgency of emptying the Bhakra reservoir before the monsoon to prevent overflow, which he claims would adversely affect both Punjab and Delhi's water supply. He contended that Haryana has not received its full water share this year, attributing a significant portion of released water to other states. In response, Punjab Chief Minister Mann accused the BJP of pressuring his government and insisted that Punjab has already exceeded its water allocation. The ongoing dispute also highlights the contentious Sutlej-Yamuna Link canal project, which remains stalled amid conflicting claims from both states. sources

New Rs 2,000 Crore Scam Case Against AAP Leaders

Former AAP ministers Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain are under investigation by Delhi Police's anti-corruption branch (ACB) for their involvement in a Rs 2,000-crore classroom construction scam. The probe focuses on alleged irregularities in the construction of over 12,000 classrooms, which were reportedly built at inflated costs during the AAP's tenure. Sisodia, who managed the Education portfolio, and Jain, responsible for the Public Works Department, are being scrutinized alongside unknown government officials and contractors. The ACB chief, Madhur Verma, noted that contracts were awarded to 34 contractors, many linked to the AAP, with costs escalating significantly due to delays and improper hiring of consultants. A Central Vigilance Commission report, suppressed for nearly three years, revealed that the cost of constructing semi-permanent structures was nearly equivalent to that of durable concrete buildings, raising further questions about financial mismanagement. sources

Poster Wars Round 3: BJP Angered by Yadav-Ambedkar Edit

A controversial poster merging the faces of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Dr. BR Ambedkar has incited strong criticism from BJP leaders, who accuse Yadav of disrespecting Ambedkar's legacy. The poster, intended to promote a party event, features half of each leader's face and has been described as an "insult" to the architect of India's Constitution. Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and BJP social media head Amit Malviya have condemned the poster, stating it distorts Ambedkar's image and undermines his principles. They highlighted the ideological differences between Yadav and Ambedkar, particularly in relation to nepotism and respect for Dalit rights. The BJP's swift backlash reflects the heightened political tensions as both parties gear up for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, where the Samajwadi Party aims to challenge the BJP's dominance following its recent electoral gains. sources

Pahalgam killer Hashim Moosa is a former Pakistani commando

Security agencies have identified three terrorists linked to the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in 26 fatalities, including 25 tourists and a local pony ride operator.
