AAP MLA marshalled out during discussion on Operation Sindoor in Delhi Assembly
Participating in the discussion on the motion to thank the Prime Minister, Home Minister and the armed forces for Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev, Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood said the two operations represent the new normal in response to terror attacks.
"After terrorist attacks, dossiers are not sent any longer; instead, the Army is given a clear order to eliminate the enemy," he said.
Mr. Sood said those questioning the two operations should be tried under sedition charges.
In his speech, Mr. Jha attacked the Centre for accepting the "ceasefire" during India-Pakistan military conflict and used words that the Speaker directed to be expunged from the records.
Speaker Vijender Gupta also asked Mr. Jha to tender an apology to the House. However, as Mr. Jha remained defiant, he was marshalled out on the direction of the Speaker.
Mr. Jha hit out at the BJP, saying the decision of 'ceasefire' was made by U.S. President Trump and criticised the central government for accepting it.
"Operation Sindoor was an opportunity to teach a lesson to the enemy and take back the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir," the AAP MLA from Burari said.
The ruling BJP legislators hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev.
Operation Sindoor was launched by the Indian armed forces to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 civilians were massacred.
Three of the terrorists involved in the attack were gunned down by the security forces in an encounter under Operation Mahadev at Harwan in Srinagar on July 28.

BJP member raises concerns over code 'GAY' for Gaya airport; govt says airport codes considered permanent
New Delhi: A BJP member in Rajya Sabha has raised concerns about 'GAY' as the IATA identifier code for Gaya international airport in Bihar. In response, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol in a written reply said the three-letter airport codes once assigned are considered permanent and are altered only under exceptional circumstances, usually involving air safety concerns. The three-letter airport codes, also known as IATA location identifiers, are assigned by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to facilitate identification of airports across various travel-related systems and processes. These codes are generally assigned using the first three letters of the location's name where the airport is situated, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha on Monday. He also mentioned that requests for changing the code of Gaya have been received in the past by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Airports Authority of India. "IATA location codes are primarily intended for commercial airline operations and are issued at the request of airline operators. Air India had earlier approached IATA seeking change of the existing airport code. However, IATA has conveyed that under the provisions of IATA Resolution 763, assigned three-letter codes are considered permanent and are altered only under exceptional circumstances, usually involving air safety concerns," Mohol said. The minister's responses were to queries from BJP member Bhim Singh on whether it is a fact that the Gaya international airport's code is 'GAY', which people consider socially and culturally offensive and uncomfortable. He also asked whether the government is considering to change the code name 'GAY' to a more respectful and culturally appropriate code.

Judges don't decide who is ‘true Indian', says Priyanka Vadra after SC rebukes Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday defended her brother Rahul Gandhi a day after the Supreme Court criticised his remarks on alleged Chinese incursions, saying that it is not for judges to decide who a 'true Indian' is, PTI reported. On Monday, a Supreme Court bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and AG Masih told Rahul Gandhi that a 'true Indian' would not make remarks such as the ones he did about China allegedly having intruded into Indian territory. The court asked the Opposition leader how he had verified his claims, and said that he should have made the comments in Parliament, rather than on social media. Commenting on the court's observations, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said: 'With due respect to the honourable judges, they do not decide who a true Indian is. It is the duty of the Opposition leader to question the government.' Vadra also said that Rahul Gandhi would never speak against the Army, and that he holds it in the highest respect, PTI reported. 'This is a misinterpretation,' she said, in an apparent reference to a defamation case filed against Rahul Gandhi for the remarks.

'NOTHING in the Constitution gives the SC the power to hand out certificates for being a true Indian',' Gokhale said. 'We are ALL equal under law.' The Trinamool Congress member said that it was the prerogative of an MP to decide whether to make statements in Parliament or outside. 'As long as it's within the law, no court has the right to tell MPs whether they should say something inside the House or outside,' he said on social media. It is VERY dangerous when the Supreme Court uses language like 'are you a true Indian?' Questioning the govt does not make someone 'not a true Indian'.

‘Right to choose trading partners': Russia calls Trump's trade ‘threats' to India ‘not legal'
The Kremlin on Tuesday hit out at US President Donald Trump's recent remarks targeting India over its continued trade ties with Russia, calling such pressure tactics 'not legal'. Responding to Trump's announcement of a 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, 'We hear many statements that are in fact threats, attempts to force countries to cut trade relations with Russia. We do not consider such statements to be legal.' In a sharp rebuke of Trump's stance, Peskov added, 'We believe that sovereign countries should have and do have the right to choose their own trading partners, partners for trade and economic cooperation, and to choose for themselves the forms of trade and economic cooperation that are in the interests of a particular country.' The comments came days after Trump, in a July 31 post on Truth Social, vowed to impose steep tariffs on India for what he described as 'obnoxious' trade barriers. His threat included an unspecified 'penalty' for buying Russian crude. New Delhi has called Trump's threats 'unjustified' and vowed to protect its economic interests, deepening a trade rift between the two major economies.
