Drought Or Floods: Pakistanis Stare At Dual Challenge After Indias Action; Social Media Abuzz
The Indus Water Treaty suspension came in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir in which 26 people were killed. The Pakistan-backed terrorists carried out targeted killings in the valley, shooting non-Muslim tourists mainly.
Now, while Pakistan was expecting a drought in the Chenab River, the local citizens are claiming that India has released waters into Jhelum unannounced causing a flood-like situation in the surrounding area. Pakistani social media users are claiming that India released a large amount of water into the Jhelum River without informing Pakistan, causing a sharp rise in water levels near Muzaffarabad. A flood alert has already been issued in the region and State Disaster Management personnel have been deployed.

"India's reckless release of excess water into the Jhelum River from Anantnag has dangerously raised water levels, threatening lives and livelihoods downstream. India should be dealt with accordingly and stop this water terrorism," said another user.

Indians are also reacting to the reports of flooding. "Several Pakistani handles are claiming a sudden release of Jhelum waters by India without prior notice. While they were busy preparing for droughts, floods came out of syllabus," said a user.

"Such is the Jalwa of PM Modi — sometimes a flood, sometimes a drought. This morning, so much water was sent that it caused floods, and now the Dams have been shut off completely. Jhelum water is no longer flowing to Pakistan," said another user.

Siding With Pak, China: BJP's Jay Panda Trashes Congress Questions On Op Sindoor
New Delhi: The BJP's Jay Panda today ripped into the Congress over its plans to corner the government on Pahalgam attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor in the upcoming session of parliament, saying their stance plays into the hands of Pakistan and its all-weather ally China. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Mr Panda said, "The Congress leaders' stance raises questions since they play into the narrative -- the propaganda being spread by Pakistan and China". The comments of these "two or three top Congress leaders" are repeatedly being played by the media in the two nations. They are discussed in the Pakistani National Assembly. "That should cause them to introspect and think why is it that their stand is being cheered by Pakistan," he said. As a representative of the country for the government's outreach programme on Operation Sindoor, he said he got the vibe that things have changed in some Muslim nations. In the four nations to which he had led a delegation --- Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Algeria -- it was clear that they have moved on from the days when they an "natural affinity" for Pakistan. "They have completely changed," he said. "These are nations that Prime Minister Modi has focused on building relations with. They have given him their highest honors. And all these four countries have faced terrorism and reacted similar to us -- very hard action against terrorists and against the kind of terrorists that Pakistan has given shelter to. For example, Al-Qaeda," he explained. The other big reason why the world is ready to see India's view is that "We are the world's fastest growing economy". "We have become the fourth largest. We are going to become the third largest. Countries all over the world, including these Gulf, GCC and Middle Eastern countries that we visited, all want to be associated with India," he said. The Congress has insisted that India's diplomatic outreach has failed. Senior party leader Pooja Tripathi told NDTV, "When Pakistan and Russia are signing a big-ticket deal with Pakistan, you send diplomatic missions to every country possible... and then nobody, not even a single country came out making statement that Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism and Pakistan was responsible. They did criticise the terror attack, but nobody named Pakistan". Pakistan, she said, was "not alone" in its efforts to target India after the terror camps were targeted. Pointing out that Lieutenant General Rahul Singh, the deputy military chief, "has gone on record and said that China was providing real-time updates to Pakistani drones and they were having our information," she said the government should think of that "rather than calling it anti-national and we are siding with Pakistan and China". "This is a strategic fallout. This makes us vulnerable at two strategic borders. This was not a one-on-one India-Pakistan war that was going on," she said. "We were exposed at multiple levels. And this government needs to, rather than shying away from having an all-party discussion, rather than shying away from having a joint session... These are the questions that they need to answer," she added.

Family of murdered Yemeni national refuses pardon for Nimisha
Kochi: The family of the Yemeni national for whose murder Kerala-born expat nurse Nimisha Priya was sentenced to death has ruled out accepting any proposal for a pardon, suggesting her execution being postponed at the intervention of Indian authorities and religious leaders was at best a temporary reprieve. "Nimisha won't be pardoned; she must face execution, as ruled by Yemeni courts," online news portals in Yemen quoted murder victim Talal Abdo Mahdi's brother Abdelfattah Mahdi as saying. News of the Yemeni authorities deciding to keep the execution scheduled for Wednesday on hold till further orders came the previous day, raising hope in her native Kerala that there could yet be a breakthrough in negotiations. Abdelfattah dismissed any such possibility, including accepting blood money. "What is happening today, and all the talk of mediation and reconciliation attempts, is neither new nor surprising," he posted on his Facebook page. "Throughout the years of pursuing our case, there were covert efforts and serious attempts at mediation — and that is natural and expected. But the pressures we faced did not change us. Our demand is clear: qisas (retribution) and nothing else, no matter what." Abdelfattah said the execution being postponed on the eve of the date fixed by the prison authorities on court orders was something the Mahdi family didn't expect. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "Those who stopped it are well aware of our absolute rejection of any form or method of reconciliation. We will follow through with the execution until it is carried out… Blood cannot be bought. Justice cannot be forgotten." Nimisha, on death row since 2018, is from Kollengode in Palakkad. She was convicted of murdering Talal, with whom she had started a clinic in Sana'a, after he allegedly tortured her and seized her passport. Sunni leader Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Muslaiyar, who holds the title of "Grand Mufti" of India, sought the help of Yemeni Islamic scholar Sheikh Habib Omar to persuade the Mahdi family to accept blood money and grant a pardon to Nimisha.
