PM Modi arrives in Maldives, receives warm welcome from Mohamed Muizzu
A meeting is scheduled between Pakistan Minister Ishaq Dar and US State Secretary Marco Rubio, weeks after the United States designated The Resistance Front (TRF) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. This development raises questions about the US's stance on terrorism, as Dar had previously defended the TRF in the United Nations and the Pakistani Parliament. In a speech, he stated Pakistan's refusal to accept TRF's condemnation, saying, "I got calls from big capitals... Pakistan will not accept." The meeting occurs amid a larger diplomatic effort by Pakistan, with Army Chief Asim Munir also meeting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Concurrently, India maintains its long-held position of rejecting any third-party mediation on the Kashmir issue, a role the US has previously hinted at.

No end to Lok Sabha deadlock, House adjourned till 2 pm after Oppn uproar
The Lok Sabha witnessed another round of chaos and uproar on the fifth consecutive day on Friday and was adjourned minutes after convening. Speaker Om Birla exhorted the Opposition benches to break the impasse by discussing the issues, but his appeal went unnoticed. Seeing no end to the slogan-shouting, the Speaker adjourned the House till 2 p.m. As the Lower House convened on Friday morning, the Parliamentarians stood together to pay respects and remember the brave heroes of Kargil. Speaker Om Birla led the House in paying tributes to the heroes of the Kargil war as they stood in silence for about a minute and remembered their supreme sacrifice for the motherland. Kargil Vijay Diwas is celebrated every year on July 26 to observe India's victory over Pakistan in 1999, when the security forces chased away Pakistani forces from the mountain tops of Kargil in Ladakh. Saluting the valour of the armed forces, Speaker Om Birla said, "The nation is observing the 26th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas. Our brave forces defied all odds and operated in extremely adverse circumstances to defeat the enemy. We salute their valour and pay tributes to them who made the supreme sacrifice for the nation." Soon after the minute-long silence, Opposition members raised noisy protests over the Election Commission of India's electoral rolls revision in Bihar and stormed into the well of the House. They shouted slogans and waved placards, drawing the ire of the LS Speaker, who cautioned them against placards in the House on previous occasions also. He urged the protesting lawmakers to meet him in person to break the deadlock, while advising them that the Question Hour is for debating issues of national importance and not for slogan-shouting. He also urged the members, both from the treasury and opposition benches, to hammer out a solution by engaging in dialogue. When the sloganeering didn't stop, the Speaker asked the protesting lawmakers, "Don't you want to debate in the House? Don't you want the House to function?" As the uproar did not stop, he adjourned the House till 2 p.m. The Congress-led Opposition has been unrelenting in its protests over Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls, which it calls an "institutionalised cleansing drive" by the ECI to benefit the ruling party.

‘Filthy water, not allowed to meet children': Imran Khan under ‘harshest prison term in Pakistan's history'
In a message from the jail, former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he is undergoing the 'harshest prison term' in the country's history and the water that he gets for ablution is filthy and unfit for human use. read more A supporter of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan holds his poster during a gathering by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party to observe Martyrs' Day to honour those who allegedly died during last month's protest, in Peshawar on December 15, 2024. (Photo: Abdul Majeed/AFP) Pakistan's incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan on Thursday said he is undergoing the 'harshest prison term' in the country's history. Khan, 72, has been lodged at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi since August 2023 in multiple cases. 'I am enduring the harshest prison term in the country's history solely for the supremacy of the Constitution and in service of my nation,' he was quoted as saying in a post uploaded on his verified X handle. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The level of oppression and authoritarianism is such that even the water I have for ablution is filthy and contaminated with dirt, unfit for any human being,' Khan alleged. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder alleged the books sent to him by his family have been withheld for months and access to television and newspapers has also been suspended. 'I have spent countless hours re-reading the same old books, but now even those are no longer available,' he said. Khan asserted that no political leader in Pakistan's history has faced the kind of treatment he is currently experiencing. He contrasted this with former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who, despite being involved in several corruption cases, 'was granted every possible comfort' during his imprisonment. Khan emphasised that his wife, Bushra Bibi, who is 'innocent' and not involved in politics, is being subjected to 'inhumane conditions' in prison. The 72-year-old cricketer-turned-politician further alleged that all his basic human rights have been violated. Even the minimum facilities accorded to ordinary prisoners under the law and the jail manual are denied to him. 'Despite repeated requests, I have not been allowed to speak to my children. Political meetings have also been restricted; I am only permitted to meet certain 'choice individuals', while all other interactions are barred,' he said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Khan appealed to his party members to set aside all internal differences and focus solely on the movement planned for August 5. The PTI is all set to launch the 'Free Imran Khan Movement' from August 5 across the country. Khan's sons –Suleman and Kasim — are currently in the US, meeting with the Trump administration and Congressmen as part of efforts to release Khan who has been in jail for the last two years in multiple cases. 'I am waging a battle against a 78-year-old system, and my greatest success is that despite unprecedented oppression, the public stands firmly with me,' Khan said. He said on February 8, 2024, the people expressed their trust in PTI by voting for it even in the absence of an electoral symbol. 'After such a clear mandate, it is the moral and political responsibility of every party member to become the voice of the people. It will be nothing short of disgraceful and condemnable if PTI leaders waste time on internal conflicts at this critical juncture. Anyone found engaging in factionalism within the party will be expelled,' he said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Khan said the Shehbaz Sharif-led government has crippled the judiciary and 'the way biased judges are now delivering blatantly unjust verdicts' is visible to the entire nation. 'We must launch a robust campaign to liberate the judiciary, for no nation can survive, let alone progress, without judicial independence,' he said. (This is an agency copy.
