UK acknowledges partial success by Afghan Taliban in curbing ISKP terrorists
London/Kabul, July 5 (UNI) The United Kingdom acknowledged that Afghanistan's Taliban-led interim government has made partial gains in curbing the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), though the Islamic terror group continues to pose a serious threat both within the country and beyond its borders. Speaking at a security conference in Islamabad, British High Commissioner to Pakistan Matt Cannell noted that while Taliban efforts have disrupted ISKP operations since 2022, the group has not been dismantled, reports Tolo News. 'What we've seen is a dispersal rather than eradication of ISKP,' he said. 'They have obviously regrouped and are now promoting attacks in neighbouring countries and across the border as well.' ISKP, the regional affiliate of the Islamic State, has remained active despite ongoing crackdowns by the Taliban, which so far has successfully curbed the terrorist group's numbers in the country. The group has been responsible for a series of deadly attacks targeting civilians, minorities, government authorities, infrastructure, and even foreign officials across Afghanistan and the wider region. While the Taliban has claimed that the group has been defeated, Western officials and analysts continue to express concern about its shifting tactics and potential for resurgence. Cannell emphasised the need for sustained regional cooperation to counter the evolving threat. 'We understand how Taliban pressure has continued to affect ISKP,' he said. 'Sharing insights with our partners is essential to continue disrupting future activity.' In a separate meeting, the British chargé d'affaires to Afghanistan told Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's acting Minister for Refugees and Repatriation, that the United Nations has drafted a plan for Afghanistan focused on strengthening engagement with the interim government and supporting national stability in the country.

The revelation comes after Nehal Modi was arrested in the United States on the basis of an extradition request made by the Central Bureau of Investigation ( CBI ) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

"Nehal Modi was personally overseeing that all the accounts and records were eliminated and was influencing the employees and participated in destroying the evidence in respect of the money trail," officials said. Live Events According to officials, Nehal Modi also "dealt with proceeds of crime by taking 50 kg gold from Firestar Diamond FZE, Dubai after the initiation of investigation in this fraud." Nirav Modi's brother is also accused of participating in assisting the activity of money laundering as defined under Section 3 of PMLA, 2002, and is liable for punishment under Section 4 of PMLA, 2002, said the officials. After the case broke out, investigators said Nehal Modi "dealt with the Proceeds of crime in respect of the Nirav Modi case and taken away diamonds having value USD 6 million and 150 boxes of pearls from Hong Kong and cash of AED 3.5 million and 50 kg Gold from Dubai." He allegedly carried out these actions in collusion with Mihir Bhansali, another key co-conspirator in the case. In a major attempt to sabotage the investigation, Nehal Modi is also accused of "destroying digital evidence, including mobile phones and servers, linked to the Nirav Modi case while in Dubai." Furthermore, officials said, "Nehal Modi allegedly intimidated witnesses and orchestrated their transfer to Cairo, where their passports were confiscated under his instructions." Officials reveal that "in Cairo, the witnesses were coerced into signing false documents." In a particularly alarming incident, Nehal Modi is said to have "offered INR 2 million to a witness in exchange for delivering a false testimony before European judicial authorities." The revelations have added a new dimension to the ongoing probe, further tightening the legal net around the Nirav Modi money laundering and fraud case, which has global ramifications. The arrest of Nehal Modi has been made pursuant to an extradition request jointly submitted by the ED and the CBI. As per the complaint filed by the U.S. prosecution, extradition proceedings are being pursued on two counts: one count of money laundering under Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, and one count of criminal conspiracy under Sections 120-B and 201 of the Indian Penal Code. Nehal Modi is wanted in India in connection with the Rs 13,000 crore PNB fraud case . Investigations by the Enforcement Directorate and Central Bureau of Investigation have revealed that Nehal Modi played a key role in laundering proceeds of crime on behalf of Nirav Modi, who is also facing extradition from the UK. "He is alleged to have assisted in concealing and transferring large sums of illicit funds through a web of shell companies and overseas transactions, in violation of Indian laws." The next hearing date in the extradition proceedings is scheduled for July 17, 2025, when a status conference will be held. Officials further said that Nehal Modi may apply for bail during this hearing, which the U.S. prosecution has stated it will oppose.

'Come, let us unite': MK Stalin hails Thackeray brothers' anti-Hindi powerplay; vows to 'teach BJP a lesson'
NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin on Saturday welcomed the thaw in ties between Thackeray brothers against the "imposition of Hindi" in Maharashtra " by the Bharatiya Janata Party. A critique of the three-language policy under NEP himself, Stalin slammed the Centre for "withholding Rs 2, 152 crore in funds under Samgara Shiksa Abhiyan" and asked what languages are being taught as a third language in Hindi belt schools. "Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the people of Tamil Nadu, who have been waging a generational battle for linguistic rights to defeat Hindi imposition, have now transcended state boundaries, stirring a storm of protest in Maharashtra. BJP , which acts unlawfully and anarchically by declaring that funds will only be allocated if Hindi is taught as a third language in Tamil Nadu's schools, has been forced to retreat for the second time in Maharashtra, where it governs, out of fear of the people's uprising. The enthusiasm and oratory of the victory rally held in Mumbai today, led by brother Uddhav Thackeray, against Hindi imposition, is truly exhilarating," Stalin wrote on X. — mkstalin (@mkstalin) "I am well aware that the Union government, which prioritises the promotion of Hindi and Sanskrit full-time, has no answers to the questions raised by Mr. Raj Thackeray: 'What is the third language taught in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan?' and 'Hindi-speaking states are lagging behind—why impose Hindi on the people of progressive non-Hindi-speaking states?' Will the Union government change its vindictive stance of withholding ₹2,152 crore in funds under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan for Tamil Nadu unless it accepts the new education policy that imposes Hindi and Sanskrit under the guise of a three-language policy? Will it immediately release the funds legally due for the education of Tamil Nadu's schoolchildren?" he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Grupo Energía Bogotá CFD: Calcula cuánto podrías ganar invirtiendo solo $100 Actualidad Empieza ahora Undo Tamil Nadu chief minister also vowed to teach BJP and its allies "a lesson they will never forget!" "Come, let us unite! Tamil Nadu will fight! Tamil Nadu will win!" Stalin said. This comes after Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chiefs came together at the "Awaz Marathicha" rally to celebrate the rollback on what they called the government's bid to "impose" Hindi over Maharashtra. The Fadnavis government had issued a Government Resolution (GR) on April 16, making Hindi a compulsory third language for students in Classes 1 to 5 studying in English and Marathi medium schools. Since the announcement, both parties had opposed its implementation. Sena (UBT) and MNS called the policy an indirect imposition of Hindi. Uddhav said that the decision was similar to the Emergency, while Raj urged schools not to follow the government order, calling the imposition of Hindi an "anti-Maharashtra activity." The fierce opposition eventually compelled the government to retreat from its decision on June 29. The government also announced the formation of a committee under educationist Dr. Narendra Jadhav to suggest the way forward and oversee the implementation of the language policy. The panel has been given three months to study the issue and prepare a report.
