India has slammed Pakistan at the UN, strongly rejecting its remarks about Jammu and Kashmir, telling the world organisation that the "so-called" civilian governments in Islamabad "serve at the mercy" of their Army and rarely complete their terms.

India cannot give any deadline for ousted Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina's return as her extradition request is under examination through a legal process, Indian High Commissioner in Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi said on Saturday.
"Nobody can give you a timeframe (over Hasina's return)," Trivedi said at a discussion organised by a private think tank in Dhaka, while responding to questions related to the repeated requests from Dhaka for Hasina's extradition to Bangladesh.
Hasina, 79, has been living in India after she fled Dhaka following the collapse of her government in August 2024 in the face of a massive anti-government agitation.
India's external affairs ministry has maintained that the Bangladesh government's request for extraditing Hasina is being examined in line with established processes.
"Again and again, the government of India has replied to this that there is a process, and the process is legal, and it is well structured," Trivedi said on Saturday.

At the same time, the number of professionals employed by Global Capability Centres (GCCs) rose to 2.36 million in 2025 from 1.9 million a year ago, it said.
The report, however, noted that the long-term economic and labour market impact of AI remains uncertain.
