The Supreme Court of India is set to hear a petition tomorrow calling for the establishment of a judicial commission, led by a retired judge, to investigate the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists. Filed by residents Fatesh Kumar Shahu, Mohammad Junaid, and Vicky Kumar, the petition urges the central government to form a special investigation team to ensure accountability and to devise a safety action plan for tourists in the region. This comes amid discussions by the Cabinet Committee on Security regarding the attack and rising ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC). In response, India has intensified military operations and warned Pakistan against further violations. The government has granted the armed forces operational freedom to respond decisively to the attack, as part of broader measures against Pakistan’s support for cross-border terrorism.

Published: Apr 30 2025, 11 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: In a tit-for-tat response to Pakistan's recent closure of its airspace to Indian carriers, New Delhi has announced it will also restrict all flights owned and operated by Pakistan. This decision follows heightened tensions after a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 tourists were killed by militants linked to Pakistan. The attack, deemed religiously motivated, coincided with provocative remarks from Pakistan's army chief, General Asim Munir. Although flights from Pakistan were already avoiding Indian airspace amid fears of military action, India's official ban means they will now be prohibited from entering, forcing them to reroute significantly for flights to Southeast Asia and Oceania. This will impose further strain on Pakistan's financially troubled airlines. Both nations have implemented various punitive measures against each other, escalating diplomatic tensions and affecting bilateral agreements.
Published: Apr 30 2025, 10 pmeznews.inPopular Pakistani artists, including Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir, and Ali Zafar, saw their Instagram accounts blocked in India on Wednesday, following a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir that left 26 dead, predominantly Indian nationals. This incident, which occurred last Tuesday in Pahalgam, involved terrorists targeting tourists and asking about their religion before executing them. The ban on the actors' accounts coincided with India's prohibition of 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for allegedly spreading inflammatory content. Aamir expressed solidarity with the victims, emphasizing shared grief and humanity in her response to the tragedy. The tensions escalated as India announced punitive measures against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and downgrading diplomatic relations. In retaliation, Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian flights and halted trade, rejecting India's actions as an "act of war." No Pakistani actor has worked in India since the 2016 Uri attack, which similarly strained relations.

The court expressed frustration after Arora failed to appear as a witness on April 29, despite having received a bailable warrant and being aware of her summons.

Published: Apr 30 2025, 8 pmeznews.inRahul Gandhi has praised the Indian government's decision to include a caste census in the upcoming population count, viewing it as a significant step towards social justice, albeit one taken under pressure. He offered to assist the Centre in designing the census, contrasting the Telangana caste survey favorably against Bihar's. Gandhi described the caste census as a "new paradigm of development" and emphasized the need to address the 50% reservation cap, which he believes hinders progress for Backward Castes, Dalits, and Adivasis. He urged for its removal and called for the swift implementation of Article 15.5, which mandates reservations in private educational institutions. However, the BJP has countered Gandhi's claims, asserting that the Congress has historically opposed caste census initiatives, citing past statements from former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as evidence of their inconsistent stance on the issue.
