CPI member demands withdrawal of Agniveer Scheme
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New Delhi, Jul 30 (PTI) CPI member P Sandosh Kumar on Wednesday demanded withdrawal of the Agniveer scheme, drawing attention to the martyrdom of Agniveer Murali Naik, who laid down his life during Operation Sindoor. Participating in the special discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Rajya Sabha, he argued that despite this ultimate sacrifice, his family is not eligible for pension or long-term benefits under the Agniveer scheme, calling it a national shame. 'The Agnipath recruitment scheme not only disrespects the sacrifices of our soldiers but also weakens the very structure of our armed forces. The Communist Party of India demands its immediate withdrawal and calls upon the government to fill the over one lakh sanctioned vacancies in the armed forces in a meaningful, secure, and dignified manner," Kumar said. He asked about diplomatic or geopolitical pressure that might compel the Modi government to halt the Operation midway.

Rahul questions PM's silence as Trump repeats India-Pak ceasefire claim
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday attacked the government over US President Donald Trump repeating his claims about bringing about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, saying there is something fishy as the American leader has made the statement "25 times". The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha questioned as to who is Trump to get a ceasefire done and said Prime Minister Modi has not given a reply even once. Asked about Trump's claim and if the PM should make a statement as being demanded by the opposition, Gandhi said, "How can the prime minister make a statement. What will he say-- Trump got it done, he can't say that. But that is the truth. Trump got the ceasefire done, the whole world knows. That is the reality." "This is not just about ceasefire there are big problems that we want to discuss. There are problems related to defence, defence industry, Operation Sindoor. The situation is not good and the whole world knows. Those who call themselves patriot have run away. The prime minister is not able to give one statement," Gandhi told reporters in Parliament House complex. "Trump has said 25 times that 'I got the ceasefire done'. Who is Trump to get a ceasefire done? It is not his job. But the prime minister has not given a reply even once. That is the truth, he cannot hide," Gandhi said. He said the government has accepted to have a discussion on Operation Sindoor when Prime Minister Modi returns from abroad. "On the one hand you (government) say Operation Sindoor is ongoing and on the other hand you say that victory has been achieved. Either victory has been achieved or (Operation) Sindoor is ongoing. Trump is saying I halted Sindoor, he has said it 25 times. So, 'kuch na kuch toh daal mein kala hai na' (something is fishy)," Gandhi said. To a question on India's outreach post Operation Sindoor, Gandhi said, "They (government) have destroyed our foreign policy, no one supported us." The Congress on Wednesday said that while US President Trump has reached the quarter century mark on his claims, Prime Minister Modi is "totally quiet, finding time only to travel abroad and to destabilise democratic institutions at home". Trump on Tuesday claimed yet again that he stopped the recent "war" between India and Pakistan and that five planes were shot down in the conflict. He also claimed that the conflict between India and Pakistan "was probably going to end up in a nuclear war". Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "As the Modi Government continues in its refusal to give firm dates for a debate on Pahalgam-Sindoor in Parliament and as the Modi government persists in its refusal to commit to a reply by the PM in the debate, President Trump reaches the silver jubilee, the quarter century mark on his claims." "He has trumpeted 25 times in the last 73 days but the Prime Minister of India is totally quiet - finding time only to travel abroad and to destabilise democratic institutions at home," Ramesh said in X. Speaking at a reception in the White House, Trump said, "We stopped wars between India and Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda." "They shot down five planes and it was back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. I called them and said, 'Listen, no more trade. If you do this, you're not going to be good They're both powerful nuclear nations and that would have happened, and who knows where that would have ended up. And I stopped it'," he said. Trump claimed the US took out Iran's entire nuclear capability and also stopped the conflict between Kosovo and Serbia. Trump, who has repeatedly said that he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan through trade, last Friday said for the first time that five jets were shot down during the fighting. "You had India, Pakistan, that was going in fact, planes were being shot out of the air, five, five, four or five. But I think five jets were shot down actually, that was getting worse and worse, wasn't it? That was looking like it was going to go, these are two serious nuclear countries and they were hitting each other," he had said at the White House in his remarks made during a dinner that he hosted for the Republican senators. Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire after a long night of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim on several occasions that he helped settle the tensions between India and Pakistan. However, India has been consistently maintaining that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries. In a nearly 35-minute phone call with Trump last month, Modi firmly stated that India does not and will "never accept" mediation and that the discussions between Indian and Pakistani militaries on cessation of military actions were initiated at Islamabad's request. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.

Trump warns US will attack Iran nuclear facilities again ‘if necessary'
US President Donald Trump on Monday (July 22) asserted that the American bombing had severely damaged Iran's key nuclear facilities, warning that Washington would attack again 'if necessary.' Trump's remarks came after Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, acknowledged the impact of the US strike, stating that the damage to his country's nuclear infrastructure was 'serious and severe'. However, he vowed that Iran would not give up on its nuclear enrichment program as it was now a 'question of national pride.' 'It is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe. But obviously we cannot give up of enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride,' Araghchi told Fox News. 'Our enrichment is so dear to us.' Taking to his Truth Social handle, the US president said, 'Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, on the Iran Nuclear Sites: 'Damages are very severe, they are destroyed.' Of course they are, just like I said, and we will do it again, if necessary!' Nuclear facilities 'seriously damaged': Araghchi Iran's foreign minister, in an interview with Fox News, admitted that the extent of the damage to his country's nuclear facilities was severe but refused to comment on whether any enriched uranium survived the strikes. 'Our facilities have been damaged – seriously damaged,' Araghchi said. 'The extent of which is now under evaluation by our atomic energy organisation.' 'But as far as I know, they are seriously damaged,' he added. Araghchi has previously reiterated Iran's position that it would not accept any nuclear agreement that blocks its right to enrich uranium. The United States, on June 22, joined Israel's offensive against Iran and launched operation 'Midnight Hammer' to target three nuclear facilities of Iran, namely Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, and the operation involved 125 US military aircraft, including seven B-2 Stealth bombers. About two dozen cruise missiles were also launched at the Isfahan nuclear site from a submarine by the US military. One of the major strikes by the United States was on Fordow nuclear enrichment facility, buried deep below a mountain outside Tehran, and is considered vital to Iran's nuclear ambitions. At least 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs) were dropped at the Fordow site. After the strikes, Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the United States and Qatar, and the 12-day conflict between the two warring nations came to a pause on June 24.
