"What has changed in recent years is that the terrorists have also realised they will have a price to pay, on that, let there be no doubt. When, for the first time, India crossed the Line of Control between India and Pakistan to conduct a surgical strike on a terror base, a launch pad - the Uri strike in September 2016. That was already something we had not done before. Even during the Kargil War, we had not crossed the Line of Control; in Uri, we did, and then came the attack in Pulwama in 2019. This time, we crossed not only the Line of Control but also the international border, and we hit the terrorist headquarters in Balakot. This time, we have gone beyond both of those. We have not only gone beyond the Line of Control and the international border. We have struck at the Punjabi heartland of Pakistan by hitting terror camps, training centres, terror headquarters in nine locations," Tharoor said. Tharoor pinned down on the necessity of Operation Sindoor following Pahalgam terror attack and said,&nbsp;"Some women cried out The terrorists killed me too, and they said, 'No, go back, tell what happened to you. We heard, we heard their cries and India decided that the colour of the Sindoor, the vermilion colour on the forehead of our women, will also match the colour of the blood of the killers, the perpetrators, the attackers..." "Our Prime Minister has made it very clear Operation Sindoor was necessary because these terrorists came and wiped the Sindoor off the foreheads of 26 women by depriving them of their husbands and fathers, their married lives..." he added. &nbsp;A moment of silence was also observed in memory of the innocent civilians killed in Pahalgam terror attack by Tharoor-led delegation along with members of the Indian community at the Sociedad Hindostana de Panama.&nbsp;The all party delegation led by Tharoor arrived in Panama City for a three-day official visit after concluding their visit to Guyana.

Pahalgam: Around 2400 travel operators and companies have sent around 60 representatives to the Kashmir Valley in a bid to revive tourism after the Pahalgam terror attack.These tourist stakeholders met Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah in Pahalgam on Tuesday.Kashmir tourism has taken a massive hit after the terror attack in Baisaran Valley of Pahalgam where 26 civilians, including 25 tourists were killed. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah stressed on the importance of tourism as a vital economic activity that provides livelihoods to countless individuals in the valley.&nbsp;“Tourism should be viewed through the prism of economic activity rather than politics. Our aim is to ensure that it remains insulated from any conflict-related issues,” Omar said.&nbsp;The tour operators from across the country unitedly said that Kashmir is a safe destination. “It gives me immense pleasure that we at Raja Rani Travels have been associated with Kashmir tourism for years and we have been wanting to do something to restore tourism. We sought a meeting with CM, we are around 60 members from across India, all the top guns of the travel industry have come together, and I think half the battle is already won,” said Abhijit Patil of Raja Rani Travels.&nbsp;The tour operators said this will be the start of the revival of tourism in Jammu and Kashmir. “It’s to send a message to everyone that Kashmir is safe, it was safe, and it will be safe. And as the tag line says Chalo Kashmir. Looking at today’s experience, everything looks normal. The prices are good, and so we are starting the sale tonight,” said Manoj Aggarwal, Director, Make My Trip.&nbsp;CM Omar Abdullah highlighted his ongoing discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah regarding forthcoming measures to revive tourism in Jammu and Kashmir. The local operators are hopeful that the people of the country will not let them down and will help the tourism industry to survive.&nbsp;“The initiative has been taken by all travel associations from Maharashtra, Gujarat, and other states in collaboration with the Tourism department of Jammu and Kashmir. The message is to tell people that Kashmir is safe to travel to. These are the people who convince people to come here, and when they are satisfied, I am sure we will start getting tourists. The weather is great here and people should come. We are hundred per cent sure that people will come,” said Hussain Khan, president, Hotelier Club Pahalgam Chapter.&nbsp;The chief minister also held a special cabinet meeting in Pahalgam and sent the message that Kashmir will not bow to terrorism.&nbsp;The president of JKNC, Farooq Abdullah, was also in Pahalgam, playing golf. The government of Jammu and Kashmir is trying its best to restore normalcy in the valley.&nbsp;&nbsp;“There are around 60 tour operators in Kashmir Valley’s Pahalgam today, we want them to see the ground situation. We have brought them to Pahalgam so that they can see the real situation themselves and send across a message about how safe Kashmir is. Chalo Kashmir is not only about tourism but also about the economy of Jammu and Kashmir and people employed in the industry. People have taken loans and have EMIs to pay, and they need revival of tourism,” said Tariq Ghani, president of the Chamber of Commerce.&nbsp;The Amarnath Yatra is starting on July 3, and it is one of the major concerns for the security forces. But it can also be a starting point for the restoration of tourism in Jammu and Kashmir.

CM Omar Abdullah highlighted his ongoing discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah regarding forthcoming measures to revive tourism in Jammu and Kashmir. He also held a special cabinet meeting in Pahalgam.

The tour operators said this will be the start of the revival of tourism in Jammu and Kashmir. “It’s to send a message to everyone that Kashmir is safe, it was safe, and it will be safe. And as the tag line says Chalo Kashmir. Looking at today’s experience, everything looks normal. The prices are good, and so we are starting the sale tonight,” said Manoj Aggarwal, Director, Make My Trip. CM Omar Abdullah highlighted his ongoing discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah regarding forthcoming measures to revive tourism in Jammu and Kashmir. The local operators are hopeful that the people of the country will not let them down and will help the tourism industry to survive. “The initiative has been taken by all travel associations from Maharashtra, Gujarat, and other states in collaboration with the Tourism department of Jammu and Kashmir. The message is to tell people that Kashmir is safe to travel to. These are the people who convince people to come here, and when they are satisfied, I am sure we will start getting tourists. The weather is great here and people should come. We are hundred per cent sure that people will come,” said Hussain Khan, president, Hotelier Club Pahalgam Chapter. The chief minister also held a special cabinet meeting in Pahalgam and sent the message that Kashmir will not bow to terrorism. The president of JKNC, Farooq Abdullah, was also in Pahalgam, playing golf. The government of Jammu and Kashmir is trying its best to restore normalcy in the valley. “There are around 60 tour operators in Kashmir Valley’s Pahalgam today, we want them to see the ground situation. We have brought them to Pahalgam so that they can see the real situation themselves and send across a message about how safe Kashmir is. Chalo Kashmir is not only about tourism but also about the economy of Jammu and Kashmir and people employed in the industry. People have taken loans and have EMIs to pay, and they need revival of tourism,” said Tariq Ghani, president of the Chamber of Commerce. The Amarnath Yatra is starting on July 3, and it is one of the major concerns for the security forces. But it can also be a starting point for the restoration of tourism in Jammu and Kashmir.

CM Omar Abdullah highlighted his ongoing discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah regarding forthcoming measures to revive tourism in Jammu and Kashmir. He also held a special cabinet meeting in Pahalgam.

India is likely to receive more rainfall than usual in June and the entire monsoon season, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday. IMD upgraded its forecast, saying the country will get 106% of the Long Period Average (LPA) rainfall in the June-September season, marking a small increase from its earlier estimate of 105%, falling in the “above normal” category.This forecast comes with a possible variation of plus or minus 4 per cent.The LPA of the season rainfall over the entire country for the period 1971-2020 has been 87 cm.&nbsp;Sharing details of rainfall distribution across regions, the IMD said that central and peninsular India are expected to receive above normal rainfall, while northwest India is likely to get normal rainfall, and northeast India may see below normal rainfall this monsoon.The department also predicted above-normal rainfall for the monsoon core zone, regions where agriculture heavily depends on seasonal rains, which is a good sign for farming and the economy.The monsoon delivers nearly 70% of India’s annual rainfall and is crucial for agriculture.&nbsp;The monsoon arrived over the Kerala coast eight days ahead of schedule and is rapidly advancing across southern India. It has reached Mumbai about two weeks early and is expected to cover Telangana and coastal Andhra Pradesh soon.&nbsp;The weather department is also confident that “Since there will be above-normal rains in June, the number of heatwave days in June is likely to be below normal. We are not expecting many heatwave days in June now,” said IMD Director General Dr M Mohapatra.&nbsp;The revised schedule comes after heavy rain lashed Mumbai, leading to waterlogging on roads as well as underground metro stations. The city experienced record-breaking rainfall in May after 107 years as the monsoon made its earliest arrival in 25 years.The weather department said that a new cyclonic circulation is forming in the northwest of the Bay of Bengal, which will cause rain in Odisha and West Bengal in the next three days.

A high-voltage drama has unfolded in Bihar after the elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Tej Pratap, announced his "12 years" of relationship with a woman named Anushka Yadav. Tej Pratap, who married Aishwarya Rai (grand-daughter of Bihar's former chief minister Daroga Prasad Rai) in 2018, had filed for a divorce and the application is still under process.&nbsp;It all started when Tej Pratap took to the social media platform Facebook and posted a photo with Anushka claiming they had been in a relationship for 12 years now. Later, he took to X and said his Facebook was hacked. But the drama escalated when Lalu Prasad expelled his elder son for six years from the RJD party and removed him from the family for “disregard for moral values in personal life". Who is Anushka Yadav?&nbsp;Although not much information is available in the public domain about her, Anushka seems to have a political connection with RJD. As per the little information available, Anushka is the daughter of Manoj Yadav and hails from Bihar's capital, Patna. Her brother, Manoj Yadav, is the former state president of the RJD’s student wing.As per reports, it was Tej Pratap who had appointed Akash as the president of RJD's student wing.&nbsp;'Why was my life ruined?'&nbsp;After the RJD chief expelled his son from the party, ahead of Bihar election scheduled for later this year, Tej Pratap's ex-wife, Aishwarya, did a press conference and showered multiple questions at the Yadav family.Aishwarya, who had alleged domestic violence against Tej Pratap and his family in 2019, called the entire case of expulsion from RJD a "drama" ahead of the election.&nbsp;Aishwarya asked the Yadav family if they were aware of the alleged affair of Tej Pratap, then why they "ruined" her life by getting him married to her.&nbsp;"Why was my life ruined? Why was I beaten? Now they have suddenly had a social awakening," Lalu Prasad Yadav's former daughter-in-law said.

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi said during an interaction with the Indian diaspora in Kuwait on Monday that Pakistan must be re-included in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list since it is involved in sponsoring terror groups against India through money laundering and hawala transactions in the Middle East and might use the $2 billion IMF loan to support its military and terror groups.&nbsp;Owaisi, who is part of an all-party delegation led by BJP MP Baijayant Panda for global outreach against terrorism, stressed that tighter financial scrutiny is needed against Pakistan and said, “Pakistan must be brought back in the FATF grey list.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while gathering a pool of people in Gujarat on Tuesday (May 27), said that terrorists in Kashmir should have been dealt with in 1947 itself if Congress had considered the advice of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The Indian PM blamed the 1947 partition for the attack in Pahalgam on April 22 in which 26 people were killed.&nbsp;“When the Partition happened in 1947, the chains should have been cut at that time, but instead, the country was divided into three parts. Soon after, the first terrorist attack was reported in Kashmir, and Pakistan occupied one part of Kashmir," PM Modi said.&nbsp;“If we had killed these Mujahideens; if we had listened to Sardar Patel, he wanted the Army not to stop until we get back PoK,” Modi said.&nbsp;What was Sardar Patel's advice?&nbsp;Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, first Deputy Prime Minister and home minister of India, had argued in 1947 that the Indian Army should not cease its military actions until India reclaims Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). But, PM Modi said, Patel’s “counsel was ultimately disregarded".&nbsp;"In 1947, when Mother India was partitioned into three parts... that very night, the first terror attack occurred on the soil of Kashmir. One part of Mother India was forcibly taken over by Pakistan in the name of 'mujahideen'. On that day, those so-called mujahideen should have been thrown into the pit of death," the PM said.&nbsp;"And it was Sardar Patel's wish that until POK is taken back, the army should not stop. But Sardar Sahib’s words were not followed," PM Modi added.&nbsp;The PM said since Patel's advice was not followed, the bloodshed by these "mujahideen has been continuing for the last 75 years." He also said that the Pahalgam attack was "just a distorted form of the same."&nbsp;'What were his ideological forefathers doing in 1947?'&nbsp;Responding to PM Modi's statement, Congress leader Pawan Khera alleged that it was PM Modi's "ideological forefathers" who were critical of Patel.&nbsp;"He has no idea of history or basic democratic courtesy. What were his ideological forefathers doing in 1947? They were criticising Patel, burning his effigies, and making cartoons of Sardar Patel, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhas Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, the famous cartoon of Ravan with ten heads. Don’t take the PM seriously," Khera said.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that the term “proxy war” no longer applies for cross-border terrorism, as the terrorists killed in India’s strikes under Operation Sindoor were buried with full state honours in Pakistan, draped in national flags and saluted by the Pakistani army. This clearly shows that terrorism is not just a shadow war, but a well-planned military strategy, he added while speaking at a rally in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.&nbsp;“I say this can no longer be called a proxy war because the terrorists whose funerals were held after May 6 were given state honours in Pakistan.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that nine terrorist hideouts were destroyed in just 22 minutes in India’s airstrikes during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan in what was a decisive action.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that the term “proxy war” no longer applies for cross-border terrorism, as the terrorists killed in India’s strikes under Operation Sindoor were buried with full state honours in Pakistan, draped in national flags and saluted by the Pakistani army. This clearly shows that terrorism is not just a shadow war, but a well-planned military strategy, he added while speaking at a rally in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. “I say this can no longer be called a proxy war because the terrorists whose funerals were held after May 6 were given state honours in Pakistan.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hits out at Pakistan once again during his address in the western state of Gujarat. While speaking to a crowd in Gandhinagar, he highlighted that the night of partition in 1947, when Pakistan was formed, Kashmir bore the brunt of the first terror attack.&nbsp;"In 1947, when Maa Bharti (referring to India) was partitioned, shackles should have been broken, but instead arms were cut as the country was divided into three parts. On that very night, the first terrorist attack took place in Kashmir. A part of Maa Bharti was captured by Pakistan using terrorists in the name of Mujahideen," said PM Modi.&nbsp;"If only these Mujahideen were killed that night… and Sardar Patel's wish was that until we get PoK, our armed forces should not stop. But no one listened to him, and now we have been facing this (terrorism) for the last 75 years," he added.&nbsp;Referring to the dastardly attack in Pahalgam, he said it was only another such example of it.

Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on Tuesday (May 27) said that they planned to strike the terrorist launchpads near the Line of Control (LoC) on the night of May 9 and May 10 after Operation Sindoor. BSF stressed that India responded loudly and in an effective manner to the cross-border shelling from Pakistan.&nbsp;During a press conference, BSF Inspector General of Jammu sector, Shashank Anand, said that the Pakistani post opened fire on India's positions, for which it was already prepared.

&nbsp;"As a result of this preparedness, we inflicted heavy damage on several Pakistani posts during the cross-border firing. We did not suffer any losses ourselves,” Anand said.&nbsp;"On the night of May 8, when we carried out this operation, the enemy's morale in that area was visibly shaken. The next day, i.e., on May 9, Pakistan began unprovoked cross-border firing along the international border in the northern areas of Jammu, moving away from the Samba region,” he added. “The BSF was already prepared for such a situation, and on May 9 and 10, the BSF launched heavy shelling on Pakistan's border belt. During this period, we had planned that if the opportunity arose, we would also strike the terrorist launch pads located near the international border.”&nbsp;BSF DIG SS Mand said, “On May 8, our surveillance detected 40-50 persons near the border. We did pre-emptive strikes. Pakistan then fired on BSF BOPs - we retaliated well. Inputs suggest many terrorists, their supporters, Rangers, and officers were harmed in our strike.” &nbsp;<h2>‘Deliberate and planned attack’</h2>&nbsp;Anand said that BSF carried out a “deliberate and planned” attack on a Lashkar-e-Taiba launch pad near the LoC.&nbsp;"As part of this operation, on the night of May 9 and 10, the BSF carried out a deliberate and planned attack on a Lashkar-e-Taiba launchpad in ‘Looni’, which is located in Pakistan just 3 kilometres from the international border," he said.&nbsp;“We are getting many inputs regarding terrorists returning to their launchpads &amp; camps and possible infiltration along LoC &amp; IB. Security Forces will have to remain alert,” he added.&nbsp;On May 7, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26. Following strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, India said that over 100 terrorists were killed.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday (May 26) expressed his desire to talk to India to resolve issues between the two countries. This comes as India reached out to various countries around the globe in a bid to expose Pakistan-based terrorism. The Pakistani PM said that he wants peace and is ready to talk on Kashmir, the Indus Water Treaty and terrorism. &nbsp;Addressing a joint press conference with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Sharif in Tehran said, "We want to resolve all disputes, including the Kashmir issue and the water issue, through negotiations and are also ready to talk to our neighbour on trade and counter-terrorism,” he said. &nbsp;The Pakistani PM also said that Islamabad wants peace, but did not speak on his country's support to terrorists. "If they accept my offer of peace, then we will show that we really want peace, seriously and sincerely," he said.&nbsp;Pakistan's PM Sharif also met Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

<h2>India says ‘terror and talks can't go together'</h2>However, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his first statement after Operation Sindoor, made it clear that dialogue with Pakistan will be limited to the return of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and the issue of terrorism. &nbsp;"Terror and talks cannot happen at the same time. Terror and trade cannot take place. Blood and water cannot flow together. I want to tell the international community that if there will be talks between India and Pakistan, it will only be on terrorism and POK," PM Modi had said.<h2>Pak PM's visit to “friendly nations”</h2>Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif embarked on a four-nation trip this week to seek support from allied nations against India’s Operation Sindoor. He visited Turkey and met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. In what is being seen as an unusual move, Field Marshal Asim Munir accompanied Pakistani PM as he held bilateral talks with the Turkish counterpart. The Pakistani delegation that also includes Pakistan's foreign minister Ishaq Dar will also visit Azerbaijan and Tajikistan.

India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday (May 26) responded on China's role in the India-Pakistan clash after Operation Sindoor. In an interview with the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, EAM Jaishankar said, “You know, many of the weapons systems that Pakistan has are of Chinese origin" even as he did not name the country directly.&nbsp;"You know, many of the weapons systems that Pakistan has are of Chinese origin, and the two countries are very close. You can draw your conclusions from that," he said.&nbsp;On questions if India and Pakistan was at a brink of nuclear war, Jaishankar said, “Very, very far away. I'm frankly astonished by your question." "At no point was a nuclear level reached. There is a narrative as if everything that happens in our part of the world leads directly to a nuclear problem. That disturbs me a lot because it encourages terrible activities like terrorism," he said.&nbsp;&nbsp;The EAM also ruled out US mediation in the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. He said, “The cessation of firing was agreed upon between the military commanders of both sides through direct contact. The morning before, we effectively hit and incapacitated Pakistan's main airbases and air defence system. So, who should I thank for the cessation of hostilities? I thank the Indian military because it was the Indian military action that made Pakistan say: We are ready to stop.”&nbsp;EAM Jaishankar had earlier in said in an interview, "Rubio had spoken to me, Vance had spoken to our prime minister. They had their view, and they were talking to us, and they were talking to Pakistanis, as indeed were some other countries. The United States was not alone in this.
