"Hum ghar mein ghus kar maarenge aur bachne ka ek mauka tak nahi denge": PM Modi

India Gazette13-05-2025
Jalandhar (Punjab) [India], May 13 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday reiterated India's firm stance on terrorism, emphasising that the country will not tolerate any form of terrorism and will take decisive action against terrorists.
Speaking at the Adampur Air Base, PM Modi said, 'Hum ghar mein ghus kar maarenge aur bachne ka ek mauka tak nahi denge' (We will beat you inside your house, will not give you a chance to escape).
PM Modi travelled to Adampur Air Base in Jalandhar today and interacted with Air Warriors, days after the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan.
Praising the Indian Armed Forces on the astounding success of the Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Modi asserted that Indian defence forces have defeated the Pakistani army on which these terrorists were relying for their safety.
'The Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy have defeated the Pakistani Army, on which these terrorists were relying. There is no such place in Pakistan where terrorists can sit and breathe in peace,' the PM said.
Stating that India's policy against terrorism is 'crystal clear', the Prime Minister stated that Operation Sindoor is India's new normal and India will give a solid reply.
'India's 'Laxman Rekha' against terrorism is crystal clear now. If another terror attack occurs now, India will give a reply - a solid reply. We saw this during surgical strike, during air strike. Now, Operation Sindoor is India's new normal,' he said.
Prime Minister Modi reiterated the three key pillars of India's security doctrine - India will respond to a terrorist attack in its own way; it will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail; and it will not differentiate between terror-supporting governments and terror masterminds.
The PM said, 'Like I said yesterday, India has decided on three points. First, if there is a terrorist attack on India, we will give a reply in our way, on our terms, on our time. Second, India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. Third, we will not see terror-supporting governments and terror masterminds as separate entities. The world, too, is going ahead with understanding India's new form and system.'
On Monday, in a bold and unequivocal message to the nation following Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India will no longer tolerate nuclear blackmail and will respond to any terrorist attack with strict and decisive action.
'Operation Sindoor is now India's established policy in the fight against terrorism, marking a decisive shift in India's strategic approach', he declared, stating that the operation has set a new standard, a new normal in counter-terrorism measures.
In a first address to the nation since India's military retaliation 'Operation Sindoor,' PM Modi on Monday outlined three key pillars of India's security doctrine.
Firstly, the 'Decisive Retaliation,' any terrorist attack on India will be met with a strong and resolute response. India will retaliate on its terms, targeting terror hubs at their roots.
The second is 'No Tolerance for Nuclear Blackmail.' PM Modi said India will not be intimidated by nuclear threats. Any terrorist safe haven operating under this pretext will face precise and decisive strikes.
The third pillar is 'No distinction between terror sponsors and terrorists.' PM Modi said India will no longer see terrorist leaders and the governments sheltering them as separate entities. (ANI)

Adbhut! Avishwasniya!: Delhis Infamous Minto Bridge Underpass Stays Clear Amidst Heavy Rains, X Cant Handle It

In a unique scene that took Delhiites by surprise and social media into tizzy, the infamous waterlogged Minto Bridge underpass witnessed free flowing traffic during Wednesday morning, even as heavy rain pounded the national capital. The 90-year-old railway underbridge has long been synonymous with torrential waterlogging during monsoon months, which has continued since India's independence. The Minto Bridge, placed strategically where Deen Dayal Upadhyaya (DDU) Marg meets Swami Vivekananda Marg, is an integral artery that connects Connaught Place, New Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi, and Darya Ganj. Its vulnerability to flooding has been a commuters' nightmare for long. #WATCH | Delhi: Latest visuals from Minto Bridge; traffic running smoothly. The national capital received heavy rainfall this morning. — ANI (@ANI) July 23, 2025 But a video uploaded by news agency ANI on Wednesday morning presented a very different picture: cars plying effortlessly under the underpass with no signs of waterlogging in sight. "Latest visuals from Minto Bridge; traffic flowing smoothly. The national capital was lashed with heavy rain this morning," read the caption accompanying the video. The sudden turn of events soon attracted responses on all social media networks, with most calling it a "miracle at Minto Bridge." Amit Malviya of BJP attributed the turnaround to the new Delhi BJP government under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. "Even after heavy rain, vehicles passed smoothly over Minto Bridge, which used to get flooded with even a drizzle. That's the difference Delhi is seeing in just a few months under the BJP government!" Malviya tweeted. X user Monica Jasuja shared the same sentiment, saying in amazement, "Breaking: Minto Bridge navigates Delhi rains without becoming a swimming pool! Adbhut! Avishwasniya! Akalpaniya! (Amazing! Unbelievable! Unimaginable!)". Breaking: Minto Bridge survives Delhi rains without turning into a swimming pool! Adbhut! Avishwasniya! Akalpaniya! 90 years of "underwater bridge experience" finally ends. Turns out all it needed was some actual drain cleaning, not underwater engineering! New government… — Monica Jasuja (@jasuja) July 23, 2025 While some rejoiced at the miracle, others argued over whether that kind of success should be held newsworthy. "Anything functioning normally in this country is such an anomaly that it warrants a celebration," one X user wrote. Another said, "One of the busiest roads in the most significant borough of the capital country not waterlogged because of rain is news in this country." Alternatively, other users provided compliments for the efforts of the present government. "You know the govt has done a great job when Minto bridge has no rain water surrounded with less traffic. Mass respect and W for Rekha Gupta," wrote another user. Smita Barooah, considering the difficulty, wrote, "The Delhi government has been working on cleaning the drains on a war footing.". In spite of the gigantic pendency & since they've been in power for less than 6 months, much has been accomplished. Of course much more is yet to be done. Minto Bridge remaining open during the monsoons is a sign of good progress. The Minto Bridge has been an evergreen problem for civic officials in the past, with attempts over decades to address its waterlogging problems. The Public Works Department (PWD) has taken numerous steps over the years, ranging from the installation of pumps to the laying of new drainage lines. This latest example of the underpass staying dry even as heavy rains lashed the city indicates that all efforts made recently may be paying off, providing a ray of hope for Delhi's monsoons.

‘Nothing's safe anymore': Pakistani expert admits fear over India's 7,500-kg bunker buster missile that can strike 80m deep

India is reportedly developing a massive conventional missile based on its nuclear-capable Agni-V platform, designed to destroy underground enemy targets like Pakistan's nuclear command centres. The move, inspired by the US's bunker-busting strikes in Iran, has triggered alarm among Pakistani experts, who warn that it dangerously blurs the line between conventional and nuclear warfare. They argue that such a weapon could provoke miscalculation, spark unintended escalation and unravel the fragile logic that's kept South Asia from crossing the nuclear threshold. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads A powerful new conventional missile under development in India has left Pakistan visibly uneasy. Designed to strike deep underground targets, the 7,500-kg Agni-V-based bunker buster, capable of reaching hardened nuclear command centres, is already provoking a reaction across the border. A top Pakistani strategic affairs expert has sounded alarm over what she sees as a 'dangerous shift' in India's military doctrine that could upend the region's fragile missile, reportedly under development by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), is an advanced version of the Agni-V ballistic missile platform. Unlike the nuclear-tipped Agni-V, this version is designed to carry a massive conventional warhead capable of penetrating 80 to 100 metres underground, a weapon meant to target deeply buried command centres, missile storage facilities, and other hardened to Indian media reports, the missile will have a reduced range of about 2,500 km, compared to Agni-V's intercontinental reach, due to the heavy warhead. However, its destructive potential remains significant. Two variants are believed to be in the works: one that detonates above ground to strike surface targets, and another designed to bore deep into the earth before exploding — similar in function to the US GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Agni-5 missile, equipped with bunker-busting capabilities, is tailored to address regional threats. It provides a powerful conventional option to pre-emptively neutralise enemy targets. With the ability to strike deeply fortified underground sites, the Agni-5 helps India effectively counter strategic weapon, if operationalised, would be among the most powerful conventional missiles in the world. Its ability to deliver a devastating payload without crossing the nuclear threshold could offer Indian military planners a new option in the event of a high-stakes across the border, the development is being viewed with growing unease. Writing in Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, Rabia Akhtar, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Lahore, warned that such a weapon risks a 'hazardous entanglement' between conventional and nuclear strategies. She argues that a missile capable of destroying command-and-control centres, which may also serve as nuclear command posts, could trigger unintended reported move comes in the wake of the United States' use of similar bunker-busting munitions against Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow and Natanz in June this year. According to Rabia Akhtar, this demonstration of conventional firepower likely influenced Indian strategic thinking, pushing for a missile that could perform a similar role in the India has not officially commented on the new missile, several Indian defence experts have indicated that it could be aimed at deterring adversaries by holding their most secure military assets at risk, all without using nuclear however, sees a more scary picture. The very idea that a conventional missile could be used to neutralise strategic targets may prompt riskier calculations during a crisis. 'It creates uncertainty around intent,' Akhtar said, adding that Pakistan's early-warning systems might not be able to distinguish a conventional Agni missile from a nuclear one, increasing the chances of an overreaction.

Air India crash: Wrong bodies sent to grieving families in UK, report cites DNA tests

Multiple families of victims of the Air India 171 crash in the United Kingdom have received wrong bodies of their deceased relatives, according to a report. read more Members of Indian Army's engineering arm prepare to remove the wreckage of an Air India aircraft, bound for London's Gatwick Airport, which crashed during take-off from an airport in Ahmedabad, India. Reuters Multiple British families of Air India 171 crash have received wrong bodies, according to a report. On June 12, the London-bound AI 171 flight crashed shortly after take-off in Gujarat's Ahmedabad. Out of the 260 deceased, 52 were British nationals. Their remains were identified by genetic testing and dental records and transported to the United Kingdom. The Daily Mail has now reported that the identification and transportation of bodies was botched up in multiple cases. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD These errors came to light after Inner West London coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox sought to verify the remains of British nationals transported from India by matching their DNA with samples provided by the families, as per the newspaper. Multiple families receive wrong bodies, remains: Report In at least two cases, families of deceased got wrong bodies and remains, according to The Mail. In one case, relatives had to abandon funeral plans after they learnt that the coffin they received contained the wrong body. In another case, remains of multiple persons were wrongly put together in a coffin and given to a family. In the second case, the remains were separated and the family went ahead with the funerals with the remains that were identified with their relative. The newspaper reported that there are fears that there could be more such cases where families could have been handed over wrong bodies or remains. It said that an enquiry was taking place in the matter and British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was expected to raise the matter with Indian PM Narendra Modi, who embarked on a visit to the UK on Wednesday. Victims' families flag lack of transparency The Mail reported that one relative criticised the 'lack of transparency and oversight in the identification and handling of remains' and said that there were calls for a British-run ID unit to be flown in to Ahmedabad. 'Our loved ones were British citizens. They deserved better in life. They certainly deserved better in death,' the relative said. The families told the newspaper that they did not see their deceased relatives, but had to rely entirely on the labelling provided by Indian authorities. On their part, the Indian authorities took DNA samples and also referred to dental records to determine which body or remains belonged to whom. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Nobody looked at the remains. We weren't allowed to. They just said 'this is your mother or father' and gave us a paper label with an ID number on it. We had to take their word for it. It's horrific that this could have happened, but what could anyone do?' Altaf Taju from Blackburn, whose London-based parents were killed along with their son-on-law Altafhusen Patel, told the newspaper.
