New India never bows nor hesitates from protecting its people: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said previous governments may have hesitated to respond after a terror attack but new India neither bows nor hesitates from protecting its people. The PM said the crux of national security is believing in taking everyone along but stand up to protect Dharma. "Previous governments used to sit idle after terror attack but new India neither bows nor hesitates from protecting its people," the Prime Minister said addressing people in the temple town of Udupi. He was here to take part in the "Laksha Kantha Gita Parayana," where one lakh people recited Srimad Bhagwad Gita. The event was organised by Sri Krishna Math in Udupi. "Gita teaches us to strive for peace and truth and also the need to crush perpetrators of atrocities. We believe in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (Mother earth as one family) and also recite 'Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitaha' (Dharma protects those who protect Dharma)." Recalling the Pahalgam terror attack in April this year in which 26 pers

War is fought by entire nation, not just armed forces: CDS Gen Anil Chauhan

Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Monday asserted 'Operation Sindoor' against Pakistan in May created a "new matrix of decision and timing in warfare" and insisted a war is not fought by the armed forces alone, but by the entire nation. He said political leaders, diplomats and soldiers all play their respective roles at the time of a war. After Operation Sindoor, which saw Indian armed forces target terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK with precision air strikes, a new normal has emerged -- talks and terrorism cannot go hand in hand -- and the country cannot tolerate even the threat of a nuclear attack, General Chauhan affirmed. "Operation Sindoor created a new matrix of decision and timing in warfare. Many challenges still lie ahead for the armed forces. No war is fought by the armed forces alone; the whole nation fights it. Leaders, diplomats and soldiers know their roles," he said addressing students at the 128th Foundation Day celebrations of Scindia School in ...

Infiltration down along LoC in J&K due to increased surveillance, says BSF

Infiltration attempts by terrorists from Pakistan occupied Kashmir have not succeeded due to alertness of security forces and use of modern surveillance gadgets along the Line of Control in Kashmir, a senior BSF officer asserted on Wednesday. IG, Border Security Force (BSF), Kashmir Frontier, Ashok Yadav also said that there are intelligence inputs that terrorists are waiting at the launch pads on the other side of the LoC. To a question about the situation along the LoC in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, Yadav told reporters, "The way BSF and Army have dominated the LoC through alertness and use of modern surveillance gadgets, it has ensured that the infiltration attempts have not succeeded". "With winter about two months away, they (terrorists) will likely keep trying but because of our area domination, we will ensure any attempt is detected and neutralised," he said. Asked about the number of terrorists waiting at the launch pads, Yadav said the numbers keep changing from t

IAF chief hails Op Sindoor as model of cohesion and clear military strategy

Operation Sindoor was a "shining example" of clear directions, India's indigenous capabilities and effective cohesion among the armed forces, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal A P Singh said on Tuesday. Singh made the remarks in his message a day ahead of the 93rd Air Force Day. "Operation Sindoor is a shining example of clear higher directions , our indigenous capability and effective cohesion and jointmanship between all defence forces," he said. "The Indian Air Force will continue to defend our nation's skies by enhancing its capabilities , embracing innovation and upholding the highest standards of professionalism," he said.

Cricket and conflict: Asia Cup final turns into India-Pak mocking match

India's ninth Asia Cup crown eventually became a mere footnote as the expected cordiality on a sports field gave way to confrontation in the final clash against Pakistan where the rival players mocked each other both during and after the match. The tournament had been fraught with tension from the very start, and the animosity carried into the final, which India won by five wickets on a rather long Sunday night. What started with India's refusal to shake hands to show solidarity with victims of Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian armed forces, descended into a full blown mocking match in the summit clash. Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah delivered a perfect yorker to dismiss Haris Rauf in the 18th over and, in a cheeky send-off, mimicked the Pakistan pacer's dipping-flight act celebration from the Super 4 clash. Bumrah's gesture, a crashing-plane motion, went viral across social media. Rauf's actions were an attempt to mock India's military action under 'Operation Sindoor' a

India extends airspace closure for Pakistan-registered flights till Oct 24

India has extended the closure of its airspace for Pakistan civilian and military planes till October 24. The neighbouring country has also closed its airspace for Indian aircraft till October 24. Both countries have shut their respective airspace for each other's planes since April in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack. India and Pakistan have issued separate Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for extending the airspace closures. Indian airspace will not be available for Pakistan-registered aircraft and aircraft operated/owned or leased by Pakistan airlines/ operators, including military flights, according to the NOTAM issued on September 23. The airspace will remain closed till 2359 hours (UTC) on October 23, which translates to 0530 hours (IST) on October 24. Following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22, India closed its airspace for planes operated, owned or leased by Pakistan airlines and operators, including military flights, with effect from April 30.

Sanjay Raut alleges ₹1.5 trillion gambling on India-Pak Asia Cup match

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Monday claimed gambling to the tune of Rs 1.5 lakh crore took place on the India-Pakistan Asia Cup cricket match played a day earlier, of which Rs 25,000 crore went to Pakistan. Talking to reporters, the Rajya Sabha MP said the Pakistan Cricket Board got Rs 1,000 crore from the India-Pakistan match, adding that "this money will be used against us". "Gambling of 1.5 lakh crore took place in yesterday's match of which Rs 25,000 crore went to Pakistan. This money will be used against us. Doesn't the government or the BCCI know it?" Raut claimed. A seven-wicket win for India ended on a hard-edged note as their players refused the customary handshake with their counterparts from Pakistan after a collective decision endorsed by an important member of the support staff and okayed by the BCCI. Raut, whose party was opposed to the match, dubbed it as a farce and claimed the refusal was not a spur-of-the-moment call. The match was played despite calls .

I will stop it if India-Pak conflict starts again: Trump repeats his claims

US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that he stopped the India and Pakistan war from going nuclear by threatening to impose tariffs and refusing to do any trade deals if they did not agree to a ceasefire. Trump's latest comments came on Wednesday during a cabinet meeting at the White House, where he also claimed that he had spoken with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I am talking to a very terrific man, Narendra Modi. I said, What's going on with you and Pakistan?' The hatred was tremendous. This has been going on for a hell of a long time, like, sometimes with different names for hundreds of years, the US president said. I said, I don't want to make a trade deal with you You guys are going to end up in a nuclear war I said, call me back tomorrow. But we're not going to do any deals with you, or we're going to put tariffs on you that are so high, your head's going to spin, he added. Within five hours, it was done. Maybe it starts again, but I will stop it if it does, Trum
