India-Pakistan tensions: India ramps up bid to declare TRF a terror group

PM Modi on Monday addressed the nation, for the first time after the launch of Operation Sindoor, and stressed that India's patience has limits when it comes to cross-border terrorism. He added, “Terror and talks cannot go together and water and blood cannot flow together.”

Ceasefire undermined by Pakistan's rogue commanders: Strategic options for New Delhi

With just six months to go before the world’s next major climate summit—COP30 in Brazil—most countries, including India, have yet to submit their updated climate action plans. That's according to the International Institute for Environment and Development.

Climate action lagging before COP30, 170+ nations miss climate plan submission deadline

A gun battle is underway in South Kashmir's Shopian district as security forces engage with terrorists. The encounter broke out during search operations when terrorists fired upon security forces. A reward of 20 lakh rupees has been announced for information on the terrorists.

Breaking | Operation Sindoor: Terrorists fired upon security forces during search operations

<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address to the nation on May 12 outlined that Operation Sindoor was not just a one-off exercise and is India&rsquo;s new policy against terrorism. Now, it is for Pakistan to deal with this "new normal." In a direct warning to Pakistan, PM Modi said that India's fight against terrorism will now include the Pakistani Army as well if they defended Indian Forces' action against the terrorists. The PM called out Islamabad's nuclear blackmail and warned that New Delhi won't give heed to it anymore. Moreover, the&nbsp;<span>Army Commanders in the western borders have been given "full authority" to launch counteraction against Pakistan if they breach the understanding of the ceasefire.&nbsp;</span>This marks a strategic shift in India's policies vis-a-vis Pakistan in general and terror in specific.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>PM Modi's speech signifies a strategic shift</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>No more nuclear blackmail:</strong> PM Modi in his speech said, "No nuclear blackmail will be tolerated anymore. Terrorist attacks on India will have to face a befitting reply, and the response will be on our terms." PM Modi's <span>"the era of nuclear blackmail is over" is a big message to the Pakistani administration and Pakistani Army that has shielded terrorists and prevented India's action against them via nuclear shield.&nbsp;As per reports, Pakistan's</span><span> doctrine on nuclear arms - establishment under General Zia-ul-Haq and articulated by Lieutenant General Khalid Kidwai - outlined four 'red lines' that would trigger nuclear retaliation: loss of territory, destruction of military infrastructure, economic strangulation, or internal destabilisation. It was intended to prevent India's action on cross-border provocations. With PM Modi's statement on Monday, it is clear India will no longer pay heed to Pakistan's nuclear bluff and will play the nuclear card as a strength, not a counterbalance.&nbsp;</span><br><br></li>
<li><strong>No Distinction Between Terror Sponsors and Terrorists:</strong> In a strong message to Pakistan, PM Modi said, "<span>India will no longer see terrorist leaders and the governments sheltering them as separate entities." This shows that India, which has long been the victim of Pakistan-based terror groups and has taken legal and diplomatic ways to address the Pakistani army and its administration's support to terrorists will not do it anymore.

India News | PM Modi's address to the nation on Operation Sindoor marks a strategic shift in how India-Pakistan ties have progressed over the years. It is India's 'new normal' vis-a-vis Pak

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his address to the nation on May 12 outlined that Operation Sindoor was not just a one-off exercise and is India’s new policy against terrorism. Now, it is for Pakistan to deal with this "new normal." In a direct warning to Pakistan, PM Modi said that India's fight against terrorism will now include the Pakistani Army as well if they defended Indian Forces' action against the terrorists. The PM called out Islamabad's nuclear blackmail and warned that New Delhi won't give heed to it anymore. Moreover, the Army Commanders in the western borders have been given "full authority" to launch counteraction against Pakistan if they breach the understanding of the ceasefire. This marks a strategic shift in India's policies vis-a-vis Pakistan in general and terror in specific. Read More | India's BIG decision post Indo-Pak ceasefire: 'Full authority to Army commanders for counteraction' if understanding violated PM Modi's speech signifies a strategic shift No more nuclear blackmail: PM Modi in his speech said, "No nuclear blackmail will be tolerated anymore. Terrorist attacks on India will have to face a befitting reply, and the response will be on our terms." PM Modi's "the era of nuclear blackmail is over" is a big message to the Pakistani administration and Pakistani Army that has shielded terrorists and prevented India's action against them via nuclear shield. As per reports, Pakistan's doctrine on nuclear arms - establishment under General Zia-ul-Haq and articulated by Lieutenant General Khalid Kidwai - outlined four 'red lines' that would trigger nuclear retaliation: loss of territory, destruction of military infrastructure, economic strangulation, or internal destabilisation. It was intended to prevent India's action on cross-border provocations. With PM Modi's statement on Monday, it is clear India will no longer pay heed to Pakistan's nuclear bluff and will play the nuclear card as a strength, not a counterbalance. No Distinction Between Terror Sponsors and Terrorists: In a strong message to Pakistan, PM Modi said, "India will no longer see terrorist leaders and the governments sheltering them as separate entities." This shows that India, which has long been the victim of Pakistan-based terror groups and has taken legal and diplomatic ways to address the Pakistani army and its administration's support to terrorists will not do it anymore.

'You are our hero': Delhi Jama Masjid Imam's grandson thanks PM Modi, Armed forces for Operation Sindoor

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his first public address to the nation since Operation Sindoor was launched last week. The Prime Minister issued a stark warning to Pakistan on the new policy India has adopted against terrorism and the only condition for talks: terror and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Operation Sindoor: PM Modi says 'water and blood' can't flow together

Within a span of 24 hours, the Indian armed forces have twice briefed the nation on significant gains made on the battlefield against Pakistan. This includes not only the precision strikes on terror camps but also in the days of Pakistani hostilities that followed, be it the drones from Turkey or projectiles sent to Pakistan by China.

For decades now, Pakistan has wielded the threat of nuclear retaliation as its go-to deterrent whenever conventional military pressure mounts. Operation Sindoor demonstrated how India decisively hit deep inside Pakistan to destroy terror hubs, Pakistan air bases, and radar sites.

Hours after Trump said he threatened to cut trade with India and Pakistan to force a ceasefire, sources in the Indian government have refuted the claim by the US president. Sources in government have told WION that there was no reference to trade in any of the discussions with Trump administration officials after Operation Sindoor commenced. Watch in for more details!

<p>As tensions between India and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/pakistan-0">Pakistan</a>&nbsp;escalated in the past two weeks, the famous Karachi Bakery in Hyderabad was vandalised by protesters, demanding them to change the store's name.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Karachi Bakery is known for its fruit and Osmania biscuits and has received criticism amid the rising India-Pak tensions.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Sunday, a group of 10-15 men gathered outside the 73-year-old bakery and raised "anti-Pakistan slogans", news agency PTI reported.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The protesters gathered in front of Karachi Bakery at Shamshabad, holding tricolour flags, and allegedly tried to damage the bakery's nameboard by hitting it with sticks.&nbsp;</p>
