<p>He further added that Pakistan has now realised the growing insignificance of senior Khalistani militant leaders like Wadhwa Singh, Ranjit Singh Neeta, and Lakhveer Singh Rode. With the involvement of other youth such as Harvinder Singh Rinda, the Pakistani security agency is sending drugs to India with the help of drones.&nbsp;</p>

The president of National Akali Dal, Paramjit Singh Pamma, in a press conference, slammed Pakistan for sheltering those working against India through ISIS. He said Pakistan pretends to be friends with India but provides security to senior Khalistani militants on their soil. The party president said Pakistan had been under fire in recent times over these issues, particularly after the recent visit of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to India. Pamma attributed the recent killing of Paramjit Singh Panjwar, Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) chief to two reasons, first, to get rid of the liability, and second, to clean its terrorist land. He further added that Pakistan has now realised the growing insignificance of senior Khalistani militant leaders like Wadhwa Singh, Ranjit Singh Neeta, and Lakhveer Singh Rode. With the involvement of other youth such as Harvinder Singh Rinda, the Pakistani security agency is sending drugs to India with the help of drones. The plan is to get rid of Khalistan's old operatives, of which the killing of Panjwar was the first such action, noted Pamma. WATCH WION LIVE HERE:

<p>South Africa directly qualified for the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, to be held in India later this year, after the first ODI between Bangladesh and Ireland got washed out due to rain. Thus, weather gods finally assisted South Africa to assure them an automatic qualifying spot in the mega event in the subcontinent. Ireland, on the other hand, can still qualify but will have to go through the 10-team qualifying tournament in June-July.</p>

<p>Ireland had to whitewash&nbsp;Bangladesh 3-0, in the three-match series being held in England, to pip South Africa and (with the net run rate also coming into the picture) to directly qualify for the marquee tournament in India. However, the first ODI could not get completed due to rain as Ireland were struggling at 65 for 3 in 16.3 overs in pursuit of Bangladesh's 246/9.</p>
