'Ek Gora White House Mein...': Owaisi BLASTS Modi Govt Over Trump's 'Ceasefire' Claim
During the discussion on Operation Sindoor in Parliament, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi launched a sharp attack on the government, raising questions over national security, accountability, and cricket ties with Pakistan. Owaisi questioned whether the families of Baisaran terror victims would be asked to watch a cricket match against Pakistan. He criticised government's stance of stopping water to Pakistan while still agreeing to play cricket. He demanded accountability for the Pahalgam attack, asking how terrorists managed to infiltrate despite heavy troop presence. Owaisi also slammed India's ceasefire decision, questioning if such decisions would now be dictated by the White House.#asaduddinowaisi #opsindoor #pahalgamattack #indiapakistancricket #ceasefire #nationalsecurity #parliamentdebate #aimim #terrorism #indiapakistan #toi #toibharat

EAM Jaishankar reiterates India's 'zero tolerance against terror' stance against cross-border terrorism in parliament
New Delhi: There was no communication between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump between the Pahalgam attack on 22 April and mid-June, external affairs minister S. Jaishankar told Parliament on Monday. The remarks follow repeated claims by Trump that he helped broker the ceasefire between India and Pakistan – a claim consistently denied by New Delhi. Following the 22 April terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, India attacked Pakistani terror bases on 7 May under its Operation Sindoor. The hostilities continued until 10 May, when a ceasefire was called. Indian officials have consistently maintained that the ceasefire was brokered bilaterally. In a cemented statement on India's foreign policy actions in the ongoing Operation Sindoor, Jaishankar echoed Modi's new doctrine of zero tolerance against cross-border terrorism. Jaishankar, in his address to the Lok Sabha, said talks and terror cannot go hand-in-hand, and that India will not pay heed to threats of nuclear weapons. "Talks and terror cannot go together. Blood and water cannot flow together," said Jaishankar. Modi in his address to the nation on 12 May had announced India's new approach against terror. Jaishankar said the global fraternity had sided with India and its response to the terror attack in Pahalgam, where India attacked key terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He said all but three nations along with Pakistan had not supported India. Prime minister Modi received about 20 phone calls from world leaders expressing solidarity, and supporting Operation Sindoor, the external affairs minister told Parliament. Seven Indian delegations of members of Parliament across political parties had helped convey India's view to foreign governments "against cross-border terrorism, Jaishankar said. The minister said Operation Sindoor is still ongoing, but did not provide further details. Jaishankar also said the United Nations Security Council had shown solidarity with India and condemned the Pahalgam attack which left 26 people dead. 'Our goals in the Security Council were two – one, to get an endorsement from the Security Council of the need for accountability, and two, to bring to justice, those who perpetrated these attacks.' The UNSC statement, dated 25 April, also stated that every nation has the right to defend itself against cross-border terrorism. 'And, most importantly, the council underlined the need to hold the perpetrators, organizers, financiers, and sponsors of this reprehensible act of terrorism accountable and bring them to justice,' said Jaishankar. 'This statement of the UNSC resonated throughout the international community," he added. Jaishankar's address came after remarks by defence minister Rajnath Singh earlier in the day, who said the Indian armed forces had managed to thwart all attacks by Pakistani forces, and managed to damage key terrorist bases as well as military infrastructure.

Over 95 lakh domestic tourist visits to Jammu & Kashmir during Jan-June in 2025: Government data
The figures for domestic tourist visits to Jammu and Kashmir during January-June this year stood at more than 95 lakh, according to data shared by the government. Union Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat shared the data in a written response on Monday to a query on whether the Centre is aware of the decline in tourist footfall and business losses in Jammu and Kashmir during the peak tourist season following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi also asked if any assessment was made by the government on its economic impact on local tourism-dependent stakeholders. "No such assessment has been made by the Ministry of Tourism on economic impact on local tourism-dependent stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir," Shekhawat said. The Pahalgam terror strike took place on April 22 in which 26 civilians, mostly tourists were brutally killed. India avenged the killings with Operation Sindoor under which the armed forces early May 7 decimated multiple terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir (PoK). A special discussion in the Lok Sabha on "India's strong, successful and decisive Operation Sindoor" began on Monday as Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said the military action against Pakistan had sent a clear message to supporters of terrorism that India was committed to defend its motherland. In his response, Shekhawat also shared year-wise tabulated data for domestic tourist visits (DTVs) and foreign tourist visits (FTVs) from 2020 to 2025. This data is provided by the state tourism department. Based on the latest information received from the Jammu and Kashmir tourism department, the number of DTVs and FTVs stood at 95,92,664 and 19,570 respectively for the period January-June of 2025. DTVs for preceding four years were -- 2,35,24,629 (for year 2024); 2,06,79,336 (2023); 1,84,99,332 (2022); 1,13,14,920 (2021) and 25,19,524 (2020). FTVs for preceding four years were -- 65,452 (for year 2024); 55,337 (2023); 19,985 (2022); 1,650 (2021) and 5,317 (2020, and for January-June period of 2025 it stood at 19,570. Shekhawat said the Ministry of Tourism has taken several steps or initiatives to promote tourism sector in the country, including in Jammu and Kashmir. On April 23, the Union tourism minister had told reporters in Delhi that some people with nefarious intentions had tried to again "incite separatism and terrorism" in the Valley and asserted that his ministry would do the best to "minimise the dent" on tourism in Jammu and Kashmir in the wake of the Pahalgam attack.
