Ravi Shankar Prasad asks Indian diaspora in France to back anti-terror push

BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad exhorted members of the Indian community in France to make every effort to showcase Brand India as a beacon of peace that is fighting against the global curse of terrorism. Addressing a gathering of community leaders and prominent members of the Indian diaspora in Paris on Monday evening, the all-party delegation led by Prasad conveyed the message that the terrorist attack in Pahalgam last month was a deliberate attempt to undermine peace and development in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. India's response with Operation Sindoor was precise, targeted, proportionate and non-escalatory and targeted at Pakistan-backed terrorist camps. When I see the growth of India, I am very proud of all of you because you are the brand ambassadors (of the country), said Prasad. Please properly showcase Brand India, that we are for peace, we are for amity. But if innocent Indians are killed by terrorists, they will have to pay a cost. That is the winning Operation

Trump sought mileage from Indo-Pak conflict, made false claim: US lawmaker

US Congressman Shri Thanedar said on Monday that there was no basis for President Donald Trump to take credit for stopping the conflict between India and Pakistan, and accused him of seeking political mileage from the situation. In an interaction here at the Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh, Thanedar said that after the Pahalgam attack in which terrorists killed 26 people, it was natural for India to respond with Operation Sindoor' and the US certainly accepted New Delhi's position. He said India and Pakistan are capable of solving their issues. Neither India nor Pakistan invited the US to mediate, he said. Thanedar, a second-term US Representative representing Michigan's 13th Congressional District, has introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Trump. I don't think there was any basis for the announcement made by Trump. He only wanted to seek mileage out of it, so he made the announcement," he said. Earlier this month, India launched Operation Sindoor and hit terror
