‘Iran Hit Israel Hard': Bombshell By Trump Not Tehran; Shocking Admission At NATO Meet
Union Minister Puri Drops Truth Bomb: Calls Pre-Modi India's Terror Response 'Theatre of the Absurd'
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri delivered a powerful global appeal. Calling the 1985 bombing a "dastardly act of aviation terror", Puri urged the international community to shut down all channels of terror financing, deepen India-Canada cooperation in intelligence sharing, and confront radicalisation within diaspora circles. Puri reflected on India's historic leniency in expecting "better sense" from perpetrators and denounced the "theatre of the absurd" pre-Modi era of dealing with terrorism. Recalling India's long struggle—from Kashmir to Mumbai to Punjab, he said terrorism is not a past threat, but a present danger. Standing alongside the Irish and Canadian leadership, Puri said the world must act not in solemn mourning alone, but through collective, proactive action against extremist ideologies and violence.#kanishkabombing #hardeepuri #aviationterror #indiaagainstterror #terrorfinancing #khalistanextremism #canadaindia #flight182 #stopterrorism #globalunit #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Turmeric farmers part of PM Modi's vision of $1 billion exports by 2030: Amit Shah
Hyderabad: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, after inaugurating the headquarters of the National Turmeric Board in Nizamabad on Sunday, said, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fulfilled a 40-year-old demand of millions of turmeric farmers across the country, particularly in Telangana. Addressing a farmer's meeting where he had also unveiled the logo of the NTB, he said 'This promise made by the Prime Minister is now being realized. Nizamabad, known as the turmeric capital for decades and a location where farmers have cultivated turmeric for centuries, has not seen its product reach global markets until now.' However, with the formation of the National Turmeric Board, 'Turmeric from Nizamabad will be exported to many countries within the next 3-4 years,' he added. Amit Shah mentioned that once the NTB begins its operations, farmers will be free from the shackles of the middlemen. 'The Board will create a comprehensive chain for turmeric packaging, branding, marketing, and export.' Highlighting the medicinal properties of turmeric, Shah said, 'It is anti-viral, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory, and is recognized worldwide as a wonder drug. Consuming even a small amount can address multiple health issues simultaneously.' He also noted the beginning of production and marketing of GI-tagged organic turmeric.' Amit Shah said that the Centre has set a target of achieving one billion dollars in turmeric exports by 2030, 'with all necessary preparations already in place. The National Turmeric Board will ensure that farmers receive maximum value for their products, promote turmeric consumption in international markets, and publicise the medicinal benefits of Indian turmeric worldwide.' Additionally, the Board will ensure that the quality and safety standards of Indian turmeric meet global benchmarks, arrange for appropriate packaging, and provide training and skill development to farmers on effective harvesting techniques to prevent export-related obstacles. The Union Home Minister further added that research and development on the health benefits of turmeric will be conducted to showcase these advantages globally. He underscored that Nizamabad, Jagtial, Nirmal, and Kamareddy districts of the State are among the top turmeric-producing areas in the country. He recalled that in 2025, turmeric farmers received prices between Rs 18,000 to Rs 19,000 per quintal. Concerted efforts are underway to increase the price to an additional Rs 6,000 to Rs 7,000 per quintal over the next three years. In the 2023-24 season, turmeric was cultivated in 3,00,000 hectares in India, yielding 10.74 lakh tonnes. The Union Minister highlighted that Prime Minister Modi established National Cooperative Exports Limited (NCEL) to assist farmers engaged in exports and National Cooperative Organics Limited (NCIL) for those involved in organic farming. Shah noted that Modi has cultivated a culture of keeping promises, and the commitment made in 2023 to establish the National Trade Bureau (NTB) has been fulfilled.

KTR slams Shah for inaction over Cong's corruption allegations
Hyderabad: In a scathing attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BRS Working President KT Rama Rao has demanded to know why the BJP-led Centre has failed to order an investigation into the corruption allegations against the Congress government in Telangana. Reminding Shah of his own earlier remarks in Nizamabad—where he labelled the Revanth Reddy-led government an 'ATM' for the Congress high command— Rama Rao questioned, 'Why hasn't the Union Home Minister acted upon it? What is stopping the Centre from initiating a probe through the CBI or ED?' Alleging a covert understanding between the BJP and Congress, KTR stated, 'In Delhi, they stage a mock fight. In Telangana, they strike secret deals. Is BJP shielding Revanth Reddy because it cannot take on BRS alone?' He recalled that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had once accused the Congress of running a 'RR Tax' scam in Telangana, yet no investigation was initiated. 'If you only make allegations during visits but allow Congress to loot in broad daylight, what message are you sending to the people?' he asked. The BRS leader also took strong exception to what he described as an orchestrated campaign to defame the Kaleshwaram Project, a landmark irrigation initiative that he said played a pivotal role in making Telangana the top rice-producing state in the country. 'It is unfortunate that a landmark initiative like Kaleshwaram is being targeted purely for political gain,' he said. On the BJP's developmental record in the state, KTR noted, 'Despite having eight BJP MPs and two Union Ministers from Telangana, not a single project has been given national status. No IIT, IIM, or central medical institute has been granted. This discrimination has not gone unnoticed.' He also ridiculed the Centre's repeated 'launches' of the Turmeric Board, pointing out that Union Minister Piyush Goyal had already virtually inaugurated it earlier this year. 'Now Amit Shah is cutting ribbons for the same office set up in a building constructed by former CM KCR. Not a single rupee was allocated in the budget. Even a permanent building has not been sanctioned,' he said. KTR further accused the BJP of betraying Telangana through multiple actions, including scrapping the Bayyaram Steel Plant—meant to provide employment to tribal youth—cancelling Hyderabad's ITIR project, which would have been a game-changer, and pushing forward Andhra Pradesh's Banakacharla project while curbing Telangana farmers' water rights. He also cited the privatisation of operations at the Kazipet Coach Factory, thereby dashing youth employment hopes in Warangal. 'Since coming to power at the Centre, BJP has treated Telangana with hostility. The people have rejected them before and will continue to do so,' said KTR.

‘Drop guns & join mainstream': Amit Shah rules out talks with Reds
HYDERABAD: Union home minister Amit Shah on Sunday asserted that the Centre will not engage in any discussions with Naxals as they continue to bear arms. Speaking at a public meeting after the inauguration of the headquarters of Turmeric Board at Nizamabad in Telangana , the home minister emphasised that the Congress-governed state should not become a hub for Naxal activities. 'Congress asks (the Centre) to hold discussions with these people (Maoists). Our govt's policy is 'no talks' with those who hold arms. Give up weapons, surrender, and join the mainstream. I have serious doubts about whether Congress govt might offer shelter to Naxals on the run,' the Union home minister said. The home minister urged CM A Revanth Reddy to take a strong stance against making Telangana a hub for Naxals, highlighting losses among police and local tribes due to Maoist violence. 'Should we simply forget the sacrifices and allow them to roam free?' the Union minister asked. Shah reiterated the Centre's commitment to eradicating Naxalism from the country entirely by March next year. 'In several Northeastern states, over 10,000 extremists have surrendered, many of whom have even successfully contested local elections. In the past two years alone, over 2,000 Naxals have laid down their arms. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo If they continue to resist, we are determined that Naxalism will be wiped out by March 31, 2026,' Shah declared. Shah slammed the Congress govt, saying the tenure of the previous BRS regime was marred by corruption, which ultimately led the public to vote for Revanth. But despite the change in leadership, the people of Telangana have not seen the benefits they expected. 'Once Telangana was an ATM for BRS. Now, it has merely become an ATM for Congress leaders in Delhi,' Shah remarked. Shah denounced Congress LS leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi for raising questions about Operation Sindoor . 'Rahul, how many doubts do you have? During Operation Sindoor, we crossed into Pakistan and dismantled their terrorist camps.' On the turmeric board, Shah credited PM Narendra Modi with the initiative, saying the latter had promised it in 2023 and had not fulfilled it by meeting a four-decade-old demand to set up its headquarters in Nizamabad. 'Modi Ji always delivers on what he promises,' the Union home minister emphasised. Shah highlighted Modi's other measures for farmers such as increasing the agriculture budget by Rs 1 lakh crore, providing Rs 6,000 annually to every farmer, keeping fertiliser prices stable, and ensuring crop insurance.
