Operation Sindoor: India's decisive victory — A moral imperative and beacon of global humanity
In the relentless saga of India's fight against the insidious scourge of terrorism, Operation Sindoor stands tall—not merely as a military campaign but as a monumental testament to resilience, justice, and the unyielding spirit of humanity. This operation is a clarion call, echoing far beyond South Asia's borders, signifying India's unwavering resolve to uproot terror's poisonous roots nurtured on Pakistani soil.
The harrowing attack in Pahalgam was a wound inflicted on the very soul of our nation — vibrant lives extinguished in a brutal instant, dreams shattered, families plunged into immeasurable grief. This was not just an isolated act of violence; it was the tragic crescendo of years of calculated, state-sponsored terror, fuelled by the venomous rhetoric of Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir—recently elevated to Field Marshal amid global controversy. His incendiary words were not mere provocation; they were a deliberate assault on India's peace and social fabric, designed to sow fear and chaos.
But India's response was nothing short of historic. Operation Sindoor was a masterclass in precision, courage, and strategic brilliance. Orchestrated with meticulous care by our intelligence and armed forces, it systematically dismantled terror networks that had long thrived with impunity. The reverberations of this operation shook Islamabad to its core, culminating in an extraordinary plea from Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) to India for a ceasefire—a tacit admission of India's overwhelming strength and Pakistan's vulnerability.
Yet, this operation transcends bilateral conflict. It is a beacon of hope for global humanity. Terrorism, bred and nurtured within Pakistan's borders, is a malignant force threatening peace worldwide — from the crowded streets of Europe to the heart of America. By decisively targeting these terror hubs, India has not only safeguarded its own citizens but has taken a stand for international security and justice. In doing so, India asserts itself as a global sentinel against terror, defending humanity's most sacred right: the right to live free from fear and violence.
The emotional gravity of this victory is profound. Every life lost in Pahalgam, every innocent soul taken, is a solemn call to action — a vow from millions of Indians to eradicate the darkness of hatred and violence. Operation Sindoor carries the weight of collective grief, yet it also embodies hope — hope for a future where children play without fear and communities thrive in peace. It sends a powerful, unyielding message: terrorism will be met with relentless courage, justice, and an indomitable will.
This is India's defining hour — a righteous blow against tyranny and a luminous beacon for humanity worldwide. The global community must awaken to the significance of Operation Sindoor. This was not aggression but a necessary act of self-defence against a clear and present danger. The era of unchecked state-sponsored terrorism is over. India's decisive action demands global solidarity, unequivocal condemnation of terror sponsorship, and accountability for those who unleash destruction.
Let Operation Sindoor be a rallying cry — a call for unity, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to confront terror wherever it lurks. In this battle against hatred and violence, India does not stand alone but speaks for every mother, every child, and every community yearning for a world where the sanctity of life is inviolable.
This is not just a military campaign; Operation Sindoor is a moral victory — a profound service to humanity and a resounding testament to India's unshakable commitment to peace, justice, and the protection of innocent lives. The plea from Pakistan's DGMO for a ceasefire only underscores the magnitude of India's triumph and signals a transformative shift in regional security.
Today, India stands tall — victorious, resolute, and humane — lighting the way toward a safer, more just world.

Delhi Confidential: Sweet offering
DMK's Arun Nehru, a first-time MP from Perambalur, has a sweet trick to make new friends in Parliament. The 41-year-old is popular among Opposition benches for his delicious homemade chocolates that he generously distributes among his colleagues. Nehru is also promoting a small venture — Kocoatrait, which makes ethically sourced zero waste bean-to-bar chocolates — from his constituency. He says it's one way of supporting a sustainable and circular economy. Nehru's sweet offering has won him praise from the Treasury benches too. While he has introduced some NDA MPs to his homemade delights, the DMK leader says he is still amassing courage to go to the senior leaders. He recently offered a few chocolates in different flavours to Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who said he relished each one of them. Overhaul On Cards Ridden by factionalism, the Haryana unit of Congress may soon get new District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents under the party's Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan (organisational rejuvenation campaign). The party had kickstarted the organisational overhaul in Gujarat, where it appointed new DCCs in June. It recently sent observers to Haryana and Madhya Pradesh to oversee a similar exercise. Sources in the Congress say they are not sure when the Madhya Pradesh appointments will be finalised, but in Haryana the revamp will begin in the next few days. The party high command has meticulously gone through suggestions made by the observers, and will soon announce the appointments. In party circles in Haryana, meanwhile, speculation is rife about which faction — former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda or party MP Selja Kumari — will have more people among the new DCCs. Old Office, New Role Senior forest service officer Gobind Sagar Bhardwaj, who was till recently a member secretary of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), returned to his former institution — the Wildlife Institute of India — as its director. Bhardwaj had earlier served as a scientist and faculty at the autonomous wildlife research body and has moved there after a one-year stint at NTCA.

Telangana led way in caste census, BJP trying to derail BC empowerment: Ponnam Prabhakar
New Delhi/Hyderabad, July 25 (UNI) Telangana Transport and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar on Friday said the Congress government in Telangana has taken decisive steps to implement a caste census despite not being in power at the Centre, and condemned BJP leaders for attempting to undermine the process. Speaking to the media at Telangana Bhavan in New Delhi after a meeting with AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi, Prabhakar said Rahul Gandhi had emphasised the need for a caste census during the Bharat Jodo Yatra and promised to implement it if voted to power. Telangana, he said, took the lead by initiating the caste census on February 4, 2024. Despite delays due to the Lok Sabha elections, the state government successfully completed the enumeration with 3.5 crore people voluntarily participating. The collected data, comprising over 80 crore documents, was digitised, reviewed by a subcommittee, and approved by the state cabinet. The resulting legislation to implement 42 per cent reservation for BCs in education and local bodies was passed and sent to the Governor, and later to the President for approval on April 30, 2025. Prabhakar slammed Union Minister G Kishan Reddy and BJP leaders for opposing the bill and accused them of betraying the Backward Classes. 'What has BJP done more than us for BCs? Instead of supporting this historic move, they are trying to spread misinformation and dilute our efforts,' he said, citing BJP's past opposition to the Mandal Commission and social justice policies. He also questioned why BJP, while claiming to support BCs, failed to appoint a BC as the Leader of the Opposition in Telangana or maintain BC leadership in their own party. 'Our Congress party stands as the brand ambassador of social justice. We are not blaming any party, but facts must be examined,' he said. He urged BJP leaders to stop creating divisions and instead support the caste census and reservations for BCs. 'This is not just about Telangana, but a nationwide movement to ensure social justice,' he said, reiterating the Congress' commitment to fight for the rights of weaker sections. Ministers Konda Surekha and Vakiti Srihari were also present during the interaction. UNI VV ARN

'My mistake that caste census was not done in UPA tenure': Rahul Gandhi
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said it was his mistake that the UPA govt did not conduct the caste census, adding the blame lies with him and not the party. He said he is correcting the mistake now by getting the census done, pointing to the exercise by the Congress-ruled Telangana which he dubbed as a model in social data collection which has created a "political earthquake" that is not visible. At the AICC's OBC convention "Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan", which was attended by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, K C Venugopal, Siddaramaiah, Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot, Bhupesh Baghel, Gaurav Gogoi among others, Rahul said when he looks back at his 21 years in politics, he has scored well on the issues of poor, SCs, STs, minorities and women, but faltered on those of the backward classes. "I can see clearly that I faltered on one issue - the way I should have protected the OBC sections, I didn't do it. The reason was at that time, I did not understand your issues deeply," he said. Rahul said it is easier to comprehend the challenges faced by dalits and tribals because of their history, but those of OBCs are "hidden". "I regret if I knew your issues and history better, I would have got the caste census done. And I am going to correct it (the mistake) now." Modi is no big problem, Rahul tells party meet However, he argued it was a good mistake because a caste count then would not have yielded "the X-ray of society" as done by the Telangana census where now the participation of SC/ST/OBC at various levels of corporates in the state can be easily discerned. At the same time, the Gandhi scion exhorted the backwards to take the reins of the Congress. Pointing to the dais with CM Siddaramaiah, Ashok Gehlot, Sachin Pilot, Bhupesh Baghel, V Narayanasamy, he said they are the 'icons' of the OBCs, but there is a need for more of them. At one point, Rahul said PM Narendra Modi is "all show and no substance", and does not pose a big challenge. He said after meeting, and being in the room, with Modi a few times, he has realised that the PM is a balloon inflated by the media. The remark came when Rahul's rhetorical question - what is the biggest problem of the backward communities -- elicited a stray shout of Modi. "I tell you, you have hyped it in your mind. Modi is no big problem," he said. Rahul said the problem of OBCs is that their history was killed by the RSS-BJP. "When you realise this, you would know that RSS is your biggest enemy," he added. He said BJP leaders claim they will remove English from India, but their own children study in the English medium. Kharge took a swipe at Modi by asking if he would retire at 75 years of age, as suggested by the RSS. He said Modi became OBC only after he became the CM of Gujarat and added his community to the OBC list.
