Op Sindoor ensured devastation of Pak terror HQs, launchpads: Amit Shah

Operation Sindoor ensured the devastation of headquarters, training centres and launchpads of terrorist groups in Pakistan, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday. Addressing the 41st Raising Day of the anti-terror 'Black Cat' commando force National Security Guard (NSG) at its headquarters here, Shah also said that the government is going to set up a hub -- the sixth of the force -- in the temple town of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.

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

Pak's reaction to Jaishankar's UN speech 'admission of terrorism': India

India has slammed Pakistan for responding to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's UN General Assembly remarks on terrorism, despite the neighbour not being named, describing Islamabad's reaction as an admission of its longstanding practice of cross-border terrorism. During his address at the UNGA General Debate on Saturday, Jaishankar, without naming Pakistan, said, Major international terrorist attacks are traced back to that one country. Referring to a neighbour that is an epicentre of global terrorism, he said India has confronted the challenge of terrorism since independence. Later in the evening, in its Right of Reply, the Pakistani delegate accused India of attempting to malign Pakistan with malicious accusations about terrorism, even though Jaishankar had not named the country in his address while talking about the scourge of terrorism. The Pakistani delegate claimed that India's allegations were a deliberate attempt to repeat lies. Responding to Pakistan's Right of Rep
