PM Modi Urges Opposition MPs to Read 'JFK's Forgotten Crisis'

In a recent address to Lok Sabha MPs, Prime Minister Narendra Modi recommended that they read Bruce Riedel's book, *JFK's Forgotten Crisis*, which discusses political and diplomatic challenges during John F. Kennedy's presidency. Modi's suggestion, which included criticism of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's foreign policy, came amid ongoing debates over the government's handling of the China border dispute, particularly following remarks by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi about alleged territorial concessions to China. Modi's comments prompted questions from Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who expressed confusion over the book's relevance to the President's speech. The Prime Minister's remarks were part of a broader attack on political rivals, including allegations against Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal regarding lavish spending. Modi also criticized Congress for its failure to eradicate poverty, claiming his government has lifted 25 crore people out of poverty in the last decade. 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. Doraiswami asserted this image exemplifies Pakistan's official support for terrorism. The presentation followed India's airstrikes on nine terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, targeting the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in response to a recent terror attack in Pahalgam that left 26 dead. 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
