BJP MP Claims Pahalgam Women Lack Heroic Qualities

BJP MP Ram Chander Jangra has sparked outrage after suggesting that women who lost their husbands in the recent Pahalgam terror attack lacked "heroic qualities" and "enthusiasm," implying they could have fought back against the attackers. His comments came shortly after a similar controversy involving Madhya Pradesh Minister Vijay Shah. On April 22, five terrorists killed 25 tourists and a ponywallah at Baisaran meadow, with the Resistance Front claiming responsibility. Jangra's remarks, made during an event in Haryana, prompted strong backlash from opposition leaders, including Congress's Jairam Ramesh, who condemned the statements as "shameful" and indicative of the BJP's insensitivity. Other critics, such as Supriya Shrinate and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, also condemned Jangra's comments, highlighting a perceived anti-women sentiment within the party. The incident has raised questions about the treatment of victims and the rhetoric surrounding national security. sources

NDTV Report: China's Extortion in Unconventional War on India

China is reportedly waging an unconventional war against India through a deadly combination of extortion, armed violence, and drug trafficking, primarily in the northeastern states. Armed insurgent groups, such as the National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and the Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA), have been funded by China for decades, instilling fear in local communities where families face the dual threat of recruitment into these groups and drug addiction. Government employees are subjected to an unofficial "sovereignty tax," with up to 22% of their salaries deducted by insurgents. This extortion extends to all trades, significantly inflating prices of goods, while the NSCN-IM plans to raise over Rs 158 crore in fiscal 2025-26 through various taxes. Despite efforts by local police and military to combat these groups, the cycle of violence continues, fueled by sophisticated Chinese weaponry and financial support. sources
