Trump again claims helping 'settle' tensions between India, Pakistan

US President Donald Trump repeated the claim that he got "things settled" between India and Pakistan following the four-day military conflict between the two countries that could have turned into a "nuclear conflict". Speaking at the White House on Friday, Trump also claimed that five or six planes "got shot down" during the recent conflict between the South Asian neighbours.

Indian military must stay ready to counter all Pakistani threats: CDS

Indian military will have to be prepared to respond to "any acts of violence by Pakistan", both by state and non-state actors, and those in the armed forces should understand this "new norm", Chief of Defence Staff Gen Chauhan said on Tuesday. Delivering a keynote address at an event here, the CDS said there was a need to challenge the Pakistani doctrine of "full-spectrum deterrence", asserting that terrorists cannot hide in any part of Pakistan. Speaking at the inaugural edition of the Annual Trident Lecture Series, he reiterated that military preparedness has to be of a very high order, round-the-clock and 365 days a year. He also underlined that there is a very little distinction between war and peace, and added that they are seemingly merging. "We need to create more space for conventional operations, between the unconventional and nuclear domains. And, we need to challenge the Pakistani doctrine of full-spectrum deterrence, which talks about deterrence at the lowest level to t
