Wife of Pahalgam Attack Victim Seeks Martyr Status

In a poignant reflection on the Pahalgam terror attack, Ashanya, the widow of victim Shubham Dwivedi, has called for her husband to be recognized as a martyr. Shubham, a 31-year-old businessman from Kanpur, was among 26 individuals killed in the April 22 attack, primarily targeting tourists at Baisaran meadow. Ashanya recounted the harrowing moment when terrorists questioned their religion before opening fire, allowing others to escape. She expressed her grief and anger, stating, "Anyone who shoots by asking one's name and religion should be eliminated." Ashanya, who married Shubham just two months prior, emphasized that her only wish from the government is for her husband to receive martyr status, which would give her a reason to continue living. Meanwhile, Shubham's father criticized the lack of security in the area, noting that military personnel arrived only an hour after the attack. sources

Shashi Tharoor Responds to Bilawal Bhutto's "Blood Will Flow" Comment

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor emphasized the need for a visible military response, citing a longstanding pattern of Pakistan denying responsibility for cross-border terrorism despite evidence of its involvement. He recalled India's retaliatory actions following previous attacks, suggesting that this time, the response could be even more severe. Tharoor criticized inflammatory remarks from Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari regarding the Indus Water Treaty, asserting that Pakistan cannot act with impunity. The attack, linked to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, marks a significant escalation since the revocation of Article 370 in 2019. Relations have further deteriorated, with both nations taking retaliatory measures, including the suspension of bilateral agreements and increased military tensions along the Line of Control. sources

Bhopal Case Mirrors 1992 Ajmer Scandal: Assault and Blackmail

The Bhopal sexual assault case has unveiled disturbing parallels to the infamous 1992 Ajmer sex scandal, which affected around 100 schoolgirls. A gang led by Farhan Khan systematically targeted female college students, employing tactics such as drugging, blackmail, and coercion into marriage and religious conversion. The ordeal began when two B Tech sisters reported their assaults to the police; the elder was raped in 2022, while the younger faced threats and was molested by an associate, Adil Khan. Disturbingly, videos of the assaults were used for further exploitation. Other accused, including Sahil Khan, targeted vulnerable girls, often spiking drinks before filming the attacks. Police discovered explicit content on Farhan's phone, revealing a pattern of abuse, while three FIRs have been filed against the gang under multiple legal provisions. While Farhan, Sahil, and a mechanic named Saad have been arrested, others remain at large, raising concerns about their potential activities in nearby Indore. sources

Are the US and Taliban negotiating a secret deal?

Recent reports from Afghan media suggest that the Taliban has transferred control of Bagram air base, located north of Kabul, back to the United States. This follows a visit by a high-profile US delegation, including former special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, who met with Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi. Discussions focused on improving bilateral relations, consular services, and prisoner exchanges, resulting in the release of two American hostages. The strategic significance of Bagram, a major military hub since the Soviet era and later for US forces, is underscored by its potential role in monitoring regional powers like China and Iran. While the Taliban denies US control, the engagement indicates a desire for political legitimacy and access to frozen Afghan funds. The lifting of bounties on senior Taliban leaders by the Trump administration adds complexity to ongoing negotiations, suggesting a possible covert deal regarding Bagram. sources
