Pahalgam victims' kin thank Army for eliminating three terrorists
Thane/Navi Mumbai: Families of tourists from Dombivli and Navi Mumbai who were killed or injured in the Pahalgam, J&K, massacre of April 22, thanked the Indian Army for eliminating three terrorists, including Suleiman Shah, who is believed to have led the attack, in Srinagar on Monday. Six tourists from Maharashtra were shot dead and six others injured when a group of assailants escaped after having shot dead 26 tourists in Baisaran meadow. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor to destroy terror bases in Pakistan. Kamothe resident Subodh Patil (52), who survived after a bullet grazed his neck, said, "I saw Monday's news on television. It is indeed satisfactory and worth appreciating that the govt did not rest after Operation Sindoor, and ensured that the mastermind is eliminated."

"It often happens that after a few days of a furore, everything calms down. But the Army has continued its operation. I hope it will kill all the terrorists involved." He added, "I feel that the Indo-Pak cricket and hockey matches should not be held either. Earlier, I believed that sports should not be mixed with politics. But unless we completely boycott them, there will be no reformation," he said. Pune-based Nitin Desale, son of New Panvel resident Dilip Desale (64), who was killed, did not respond to calls and text messages for comment on Monday. After Operation Sindoor Nitin had said, "It feels good... This revenge shows that the govt cares about the lives of ordinary citizens. I have complete faith in our defence forces and govt." The Pahalgam terror strike that shook the safety perception of the nation had destroyed the lives of newly married couples, fledgling households, and families who were simply visiting the 'Paradise on Earth' to enjoy their summer break.

PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah to speak in Lok Sabha on Operation Sindoor today
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address the Lok Sabha today during the special discussion on Operation Sindoor, news agency ANI reported. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh began the special discussion on 'Operation Sindoor', India's military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, in the Lok Sabha on Monday. The debate continued until midnight on Monday and will resume today at 11 AM. Shah will address the Lok Sabha between 12:00 to 1:00 pm while Modi will speak later in the evening, the news agency said quoting sources. "The objective of Operation Sindoor was not to cross the border or capture the territory, it was to eliminate terror nurseries which Pakistan had nurtured for years, and provide justice to the innocent families who lost their loved ones in cross-border attacks," the Defence Minister, while speaking in the Lower House, said on Monday. Singh asserted that, during Operation Sindoor, India not only demonstrated its military capability, but also its national resolve, morality and political acumen, stressing that New Delhi will give a decisive and clear answer to any terrorist attack. "Those who provide shelter and support to terrorism will not be spared. India is not going to bow down to any kind of nuclear blackmailing or other pressures," he said. Twenty-six civilians were killed in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, after which India retaliated through precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The objective of Operation Sindoor was not to cross the border or capture the territory, it was to eliminate terror nurseries which Pakistan had nurtured for years. The Congress said on Monday that Home Minister Amit Shah must take the responsibility for the "security lapses" that allowed the Pahalgam terror attack, while asking the Centre to clarify how many Indian jets were downed during Operation Sindoor and "before whom did Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrender" to halt the military action against Pakistan.

Asaduddin Owaisi tears into Modi govt over India-Pakistan cricket match - ‘does your conscience allow?'
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi voiced his concern over the upcoming cricket match between India and Pakistan in the 2025 Asia Cup and raised questions regarding accountability for the Pahalgam terror attack. The Hyderabad Member of Parliament was speaking during a heated debate in parliament over Operation Sindoor on Monday. 'Does your conscience allow you to ask the family members of the people who were killed in Baisaran to watch India's cricket match with Pakistan?... We are stopping 80% of Pakistan's water, saying that water and blood will not flow together. Will you play a cricket match? My conscience does not allow me to watch that match.' Posing a question directly to the government, he asked, "Does this government have the courage to call the 25 dead people and say we have taken revenge in Operation Sindoor, now you watch the match with Pakistan?" Owaisi's remarks came after the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced that the Men's Asia Cup 2025 will be hosted in the United Arab Emirates from September 9 to 28. Group A features India, Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong make up Group B. Owaisi also questioned how the perpetrators of the Baisaran incident managed to infiltrate India territory. "Who did Pahalgam? We have 7.5 lakh army and central paramilitary force. From where did these four rats enter and kill our Indian citizens? On whom will accountability be fixed?...", he asked, referencing the incident in Pahalgam. Earlier, former Indian skipper and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly also weighed in on the upcoming India-Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup 2025, stressing that while sports must continue, terrorism must be firmly dealt with. "I am okay. The sport must go on. At the same time, Pahalgam should not happen, but the sport must go on. Terrorism must not happen; it needs to be stopped. India took a strong stance towards terrorism... Sport needs to be played," Ganguly told ANI. Does your conscience allow you to ask the family members of the people who were killed in Baisaran to watch India's cricket match with Pakistan? The Lok Sabha on Monday afternoon began discussion on 'India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The debate was initiated by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
