In a sharp criticism, Indian politician Shashi Tharoor, who is leading an all-party delegation for Operation Sindoor outreach, slammed Pakistan for its treatment of Dr Shakil Afridi, the physician who helped the US locate and eliminate Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. His remarks came in response to a post by US Congressman Brad Sherman, who urged a visiting Pakistani to press for Dr Afridi’s release.&nbsp;Sherman took to the social media platform x and wrote, “I urged the Pakistani delegation to relay to their government the need to free Dr Shakil Afridi, who continues to languish in prison for helping the United States kill Osama Bin Laden. Freeing Dr Afridi represents an important step in bringing closure for victims of 9/11.”&nbsp;Tharoor responded to the post and wrote, &nbsp;“A welcome reminder by Rep. @BradSherman that Pakistan is the country that not only sheltered terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden (in a safe house near an army camp in a cantonment city!) but also arrested and punished the brave doctor who identified his location for the Americans. In Pakistan, you are rewarded for promoting terrorism and persecuted for exposing terrorists!”

Who is Dr Shakil Afridi?&nbsp;Dr Shakil Afridi - a Pakistani doctor - helped the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the search for al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden after the 9/11 attack.&nbsp;He graduated from Khyber Medical College in Peshawar in 1990 and served as the senior health official of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.&nbsp;'We host G20, Pakistan hosts T20-top 20 terrorists'&nbsp;Earlier, Priyanka Chaturvedi, a member of the all-party delegation for Operation Sindoor outreach, drew a stark difference between India and Pakistan while speaking in London. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader said India focuses on global trade and diplomacy, but Islamabad is relentlessly using terrorism as a tool.&nbsp;“We had a very successful presidency of the G20. While we host the G20, Pakistan hosts the T20, the top 20 terrorists of the world," she said. She further said that "the top terrorists will be found being hosted by the Pakistani state government. It's their stated policy."&nbsp;"You must go back home and see the documentary on how Osama bin Laden was taken out of Pakistan. He was hidden, actively financed, aided, trained, and supported, hidden from their so-called ally, the US. They shake hands with you, but they bite you on your back,” the MP added.&nbsp;

India saw 8.6 million deaths in 2022, marking a 15% drop from the previous year and making it the least deadly year of the Covid-19 pandemic. This sharp decline in deaths suggests a return to normal mortality levels as vaccines became more widespread and infections turned less severe.According to new government data released on Thursday (June 05), this drop indicates the country may be moving past the worst of the pandemic. However, there are still signs of stress on the healthcare system, and some Covid-19 deaths may have gone uncounted.<h2>Reports reveal possible underreporting by states</h2>Two reports from the Office of the Registrar General of India (ORGI), under the home ministry, highlight the changes in death registrations and causes in 2022. These are the Vital Statistics of India Based on the Civil Registration System (CRS) and the Medical Certification of Cause of Death (MCCD) report.While the CRS recorded 8.6 million deaths in 2022, this was down from 10.2 million in 2021, a year when the pandemic hit India hard. The rise from 7 million deaths in 2018 to 10.2 million in 2021 was largely linked to the Covid crisis.Although deaths have reduced, the MCCD report shows that excess deaths in 2022 were still higher than the official Covid-19 death tally provided by states. This gap suggests that many Covid-related deaths might not have been fully counted.At least 12 states and union territories appear to have undercounted deaths. These states reported 6,076 Covid-19 deaths, while the MCCD data attributed 12,818 deaths to the virus in those same areas.<h2>Fewer deaths, but death rate data still awaited</h2>The Sample Registration System (SRS), which calculates the crude death rate (CDR) per 1,000 people using surveys, is yet to release its 2022 report. Based on projections, the estimated CDR for 2022 is 6.3 – close to the levels seen in 2018 and 2019, when the rate was 6.2.In 2021, the CDR rose sharply to 7.5, reflecting the deadly impact of the second wave of the pandemic. In 2020, however, the rate dropped to 6.0, likely due to a decrease in accidental deaths during lockdowns.The gap between SRS and CRS estimates was around 0.5 to 1.0 per thousand population in earlier years, but this difference disappeared in 2020 and 2021.<h2>Covid-19 deaths may be higher than official data shows</h2>Nationally, 50,435 Covid-19 deaths were reported in official bulletins in 2022. However, based on the 2019 CDR, deaths should have totalled around 8.55 million – nearly 95,000 fewer than what was registered. This difference points to possible excess deaths that may be linked to Covid but not officially recorded as such.Interestingly, while states reported fewer Covid-19 deaths, the MCCD reported 25,393 Covid-related deaths across India in 2022. This is less than the 50,435 reported by the states themselves. The MCCD only covers about 20% of registered deaths, with the extent of coverage differing from state to state.In 2021, the MCCD recorded 413,580 Covid-19 deaths, compared to 332,510 reported by pandemic bulletins.<h2>Half of all deaths in 2022 occurred without medical attention</h2>The CRS data also shows another worrying trend. In 2022, over 50% of registered deaths happened without the deceased receiving any medical attention. This number stood at 50.7%, up from 47.3% in 2021 and 45% in 2020. In 2019, the figure was 34.5%.This rise suggests the healthcare system, although recovering, will not returned to full strength by 2022.

In a bold move, Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney defends inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 summit, saying that India, the fifth-largest economy in the world, “should be” at the G7 table. The 51st G7 summit will be held from June 15 &nbsp;to June 17 in Alberta, Canada.In a press briefing, PM Carney was asked about his choice to invite India despite the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) reporting that the Modi Government was orchestrating a campaign of violence and intimidation in Canada, including murder. In his response, Carney said, “India is the fifth largest economy in the world, effectively the most populous in the world, central to a number of supply chains, so it makes sense. And in addition, bilaterally, we have now agreed importantly to continued law enforcement dialogue, so there's been some progress… I extended the invitation to Prime Minister Modi in that context, and he has accepted".Notably, the diplomatic relationship between India and Canada deteriorated following the alleged assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Vancouver by India. Hardeep was branded as a terrorist in India.&nbsp;However, India denied all such allegations. Tension further escalated when both nations expelled diplomats from each other in October 2024.There had been a sustained effort between the two nations to mend the diplomatic relations, especially following the resignation of Justin Trudeau in March. PM Carney and his Liberal Party were voted into power as they won narrowly in the election on May 23, 2025. On May 26, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar congratulated the Foreign Minister of Canada, Anita Anand, congratulated him and discussed the ‘prospects of India-Canada ties’.Prime Minister Modi on Friday announced that he received an invitation to attend the G7 summit in Canada. “Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister Mark J Carney of Canada. Congratulated him on his recent election victory and thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this month. As vibrant democracies bound by deep people-to-people ties, India and Canada will work together with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests. Look forward to our meeting at the Summit,” read a post from Prime Minister Modi.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has hit back at Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi after he alleged that the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections were “rigged.” The poll body described the claim as “completely absurd” and accused Gandhi of ignoring established facts.In a detailed rebuttal, the ECI said that the allegations were “unsubstantiated” and amounted to an “affront to the rule of law.”“Unsubstantiated allegations raised against the Electoral Rolls of Maharashtra are an affront to the rule of law.

The world's highest railway bridge, Chenab Bridge, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (June 6) in Jammu and Kashmir.&nbsp;In the majestic landscape of Jammu and Kashmir, the Chenab Bridge stands as an extraordinary feat of engineering — the world's tallest railway bridge, soaring 359 metres above the Chenab River. Behind this marvel lies the unwavering dedication of Professor Madhavi Latha, a professor from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, who has devoted over 17 years to this ambitious project.&nbsp;Chenab Rail Bridge is situated at a height of 359 meters above the river. It is the world's highest railway arch bridge. The engineering of the bridge can withstand seismic and wind conditions. This marvel has a 1,315-metre-long steel arch bridge. The bridge was built at a cost of around Rs 1,400 crore and is the highest rail and arch bridge in the world with a dock height of 359 metres from the river bed. While addressing the people of Kashmir, he said, “Several generations in Jammu and Kashmir passed away waiting for railway connectivity. Today, the dream of lakhs of people of J&amp;K has been fulfilled. All the good work is indeed left for me only to complete.”&nbsp;The bridge will be the key connector between Jammu and Srinagar. Two Vande Bharat trains were also inaugurated on Friday (June 6) which will be moving on the bridge. The journey will take 3 hours between Katra and Srinagar, which will reduce the travel time by 2-3 hours.<h3>Who is Madhavi Latha?</h3>At present, she is working as a HAG professor at IISc. Dr Latha finished her B.Tech in Civil Engineering in 1992 from the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, where she secured first class with distinction.&nbsp;She bagged a gold medal as an M.Tech student at the National Institute of Technology, Warangal. Her specialisation was in geotechnical engineering.&nbsp;Dr Latha completed her doctorate from IIT-Madras in 2000 in geotechnical engineering. Over the years, she has received several awards. In 2021, she was given the Best Woman Geotechnical Researcher award by the Indian Geotechnical Society. She was also named in the Top 75 Women in STEAM of India in 2022.

The clip, uploaded by a YouTube Channel 'Capital TV' on June 2, said that the Rs 500 banknotes will begin to discontinue from March next year. The video, which is almost 12 minutes in length, has garnered more than five lakh views.&nbsp;"Rs 500 notes have NOT been discontinued and remain legal tender," the Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check division - the Indian government's official fact-checking agency, wrote in a post on X.&nbsp;It also advised citizens not to fall for misinformation. "Always verify news from official sources before believing or sharing it," it said.&nbsp;The current ₹500 notes continue to have their amount written in 17 languages, like all the other notes in circulation. These languages include English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.&nbsp;Prime Minister Narendra Modi had demonetised the previous ₹500 notes, along with the ₹1000 notes, in a televised address on November 8, 2016. The government had billed it as a measure to fight corruption in the country and address the issue of counterfeit banknotes.&nbsp;The RBI had also introduced the new ₹2,000 currency note during the demonetisation exercise. However, those notes were withdrawn from circulation in May 2023. Despite being withdrawn, the ₹2000 notes remain legal tender.

Vijay Mallya, fugitive and the former Kingfisher Airlines chief, recently made an effort to straighten up his record on an Indian podcaster's show, as he opened up about the exact amount of debt under his name.Mallya, who is accused in a massive fraud and money laundering case, made a rare appearance in a podcast with YouTuber Raj Shamani.He answered many questions about the loan default case and revealed the massive debt he's got under his name.Mallya challenged the Rs 9,000 crore loan amount claims, saying that the debt recovery tribunal's certificate showed a loan amount of nearly Rs 6,203 crore, 35 lakhs, including an interest of 11.5 per cent.The total debt was against four entities, including Kingfisher Airlines, United Breweries, Vijay Mallya and Kingfisher Finvest, Mallya said during the podcast.“I am the one under attack,” Mallya said. While clarifying about the widely reported debt amount of ₹9,000 crore, Mallya said, “I am as perplexed as you are because the banks have never submitted a statement to me, which in itself is very strange."He further claimed that the banks have already recovered Rs 14,000 crore, however, Mallya requested that they provide a statement mentioning the total recovered amount.Mallya denied allegations of theft, saying that he would only come back if assured of a fair trial and a "dignified existence".“I apologise to everyone for the failure of Kingfisher Airlines,” Mallya said. When asked if his legal troubles worsened because he chose not to return to India, he said, “If I have assurance of a fair trial and a dignified existence in India, you may be right, but I don’t.”“Call me a fugitive for not going to India post-March 2016. I didn’t run away, I flew out of India on a prescheduled visit. Fair enough, I did not return for reasons that I consider are valid, so if you want to call me a fugitive, go ahead, but where is the "thief" coming from? Where is the ‘theft’?” he questioned.&nbsp;

More than a month has passed since India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan, with the whole nation feeling the heat now after the Pahalgam terror attack, that killed 26 people on April 22.According to a new report, the desperate Pakistan has been pleading to reconsider its decision to suspend the 1960 treaty.The Pakistan’s Ministry of Water Resources have been contacting the India's Ministry of Jal Shakti.However, India has made it clear that the treaty will remain in abeyance until Islamabad "credibly and irrevocably" ends its support for cross-border terrorism.This comes after some Pakistani politicians pleaded to the Shehbaz Sharif government to "defuse" the "water bomb" that is hanging over the country after India put IWT in abeyance.“We would die of hunger if we don’t resolve the water crisis now. The Indus Basin is our lifeline as three-fourths of our water comes from outside the country, nine out of 10 people depend on the Indus water basin for their living, as much as 90 per cent of our crops rely on this water and all our power projects and dams are built on it. This is like a water bomb hanging over us and we must defuse it,” Pakistan Senator Syed Ali Zafar said in his speech during a Senate Session last month.A month after India's big action against Pakistan, water levels in key rivers across Pakistan have fallen sharply, especially in Punjab province.The latest data from Pakistan’s Indus River System Authority (IRSA) shows that the water flow in the Indus and Jhelum rivers has reduced significantly. However, it is the Chenab river’s “sudden decrease” that has hit Punjab the hardest.IRSA warned that the “sudden decrease in river Chenab inflows at Marala due to short supply by India would result in more shortage in early Kharif season”.&nbsp;

The world's highest railway bridge, Chenab Bridge, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (June 6) in Jammu and Kashmir.The bridge was built at a cost of around Rs 1,400 crore and is the highest rail and arch bridge in the world with a dock height of 359 metres from the river bed.Notably, it is 35 metres taller than the iconic Paris Eiffel Tower.PM Modi celebrated the hoisting of the tricolour on the iconic Chenab Rail Bridge describing it as a moment of immense national pride and a testament to India’s growing capability to build futuristic infrastructure in the most challenging terrains.<h2>A key milestone for Indian engineering - Here's why</h2>It all goes back to 2003 when the bridge project was approved. The bridge is 1.31 km long and its construction took two decades to complete.Undoubtedly, the Indian government called it the "biggest civil-engineering challenge faced by any railway project in India in recent history".The bridge is made with 28,660 mega tonnes of steel that can withstand sub-zero temperatures as well as up to 40 degrees.Surprisingly, the bridge is taller than the popular attraction Eiffel Tower in Paris by 35 times, and is at least five times the height of Qutub Minar.Notably, the Chenab bridge is designed in a way that also allows trains to pass through at a low speed even if a pier supporting the structure gets damaged.It was challenging for the engineers to construct it as construction is a tall task in the Himalayan region, as there is a need for transporting huge machinery and other resources.Moreover, the biggest obstacle in the construction was the area's challenging topography and its remote location.The bridge is built in a way, that it can withstand wind speeds up to 266 km/hr and strong earthquakes. It took years and years of research and consultation to ensure that it was made strong enough to train movement and withstand bad weather conditions.&nbsp;

The bridge was built at a cost of around Rs 1,400 crore and is the highest rail and arch bridge in the world with a dock height of 359 metres from the river bed.

The Enforcement Directorate conducted raids at 15 locations in Mumbai and Kochi on Friday in the Mithi River Desilting case, including at Bollywood actor Dino Morea's home. &nbsp;The raid comes days after the actor appeared before the Mumbai Police for questioning in a corruption case. His brother was also questioned by the officials. &nbsp;The raids were carried out under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) at locations linked to contractors and officials suspected of embezzlement in the desilting operations of the Mithi River.The case involves accusations of alleged inflated bills, fake work logs, and systematic diversion of public funds sanctioned for flood prevention and drainage maintenance in Mumbai. &nbsp;The Mithi River, a critical drainage artery in Mumbai, drew national attention after the catastrophic 2005 floods. In response, the BMC and other civic agencies initiated regular desilting and cleaning operations to prevent future flooding. However, audits and investigations by agencies in recent years exposed glaring discrepancies in the actual versus reported desilting work, raising serious concerns about corruption.&nbsp;Earlier inquiries by the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) had flagged possible financial misconduct. The ED stepped in after taking cognizance of these reports and registered a money laundering case to trace the proceeds of crime. &nbsp;Sources within the agency revealed that financial documents, electronic devices, and transaction records are being seized during the searches. &nbsp;The ED suspects that a network of contractors and middlemen submitted fraudulent work completion reports and siphoned off funds meant for critical infrastructure development. &nbsp;This case adds to the growing list of alleged financial irregularities being investigated in connection with civic infrastructure works in Mumbai, sparking renewed calls for accountability and systemic reforms in the functioning of local bodies.&nbsp;(With agency inputs)
