Cong's can't trust own EAM, it trusts some other country: Amit Shah
NEW DELHI: Home minister Amit Shah while making his intervention in the Lok Sabha on Monday slammed the Congress for not trusting the statement of external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Operation Sindoor and instead believing the US President Donald Trump , and said that is why it is sitting in the opposition and will remain there for 20 more years. Shah intervened when the Opposition members were interrupting Jaishankar. "They (opposition) do not have faith in the minister of external affairs who has taken oath as a member of the Indian govt. They trust some other country. I know the importance of foreign (opinion) in their party, but it does not mean that they should impose this view on Parliament," said Shah.

Test call-up reward for his performance: Jagadeesan's coach
CHENNAI: Even as Rishabh Pant's injury came as a dampener for the Indian team, it meant that Tamil Nadu keeper-batter N Jagadeesan has received his maiden Test call-up for the fifth and final Test against England to be played at The Oval on Thursday. Jagadeesan has been rewarded for his consistent performances in the last two seasons for Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy, where he top-scored for his side. In the 2023/24 season, he made 816 runs at 74.18 with a high score of 321. In the 2024/25 Ranji season, he made 674 runs at 56.16. Jagadeeasan's personal coach AG Guruswamy, a highly respected figure in Tamil Nadu cricketing circles, is all the more pleased that his protege will be going to England. "Very happy that Jagadeesan has been called by the Indian team management for the last Test as a back up for injured Pant. He has been working hard all these years and in the last two years, he has done extremely well for Tamil Nadu in both white-ball and red-ball cricket. He deserves the call-up,'' said Guruswamy. What paved the way for Jagadeesan all up was the fact that the current India team management wanted a wicketkeeper who can bat. "Maybe that his batting is a bonus and that paved the way for his call-up. But let's not forget he has also been brilliant behind the wickets. He has been constantly working on his wicket keeping skill sets and has always shown the attitude to put extra effort in practice sessions to polish his game," said Gurusamy. "Jags is mentally very strong. In the last couple of years he has also worked on the mental aspect of the game. He is calm, cool and precise in his approach to the game, thus he can handle pressure. For the last ten days he has been practicing in Coimbatore for his club games. So should he get an opportunity to play for India, I am sure he will excel and not be rusty. Plus, skill-wise, he is good. Because you see, he has been brought up on matting wickets. Backfoot play will be very good for players who play on matting wickets. He will be able to handle the bounce better,'' he added.

At no stage of talks with US was trade tied to Sindoor: EAM S Jaishankar
NEW DELHI: External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Monday strongly defended India's global outreach after the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attack and the subsequent developments related to Operation Sindoor, saying in Lok Sabha that the international community had overwhelmingly backed India. Even as President Donald Trump again claimed he ended the India-Pakistan conflict, Jaishankar asserted there was no conversation between Trump and PM Modi between April 22 and June 17 - the two publicly known days Trump dialled Modi - and also denied trade was a part of the talks that were going on with the US, ahead of the truce. Trump continues to claim that he used trade to enforce peace. Jaishankar cited statements by Quad, Brics, the US listing of terror group TRF and the UNSC condemnation of the attack, which called for holding the perpetrators accountable, to buttress govt's argument about support for India from across the globe and to dismiss opposition's claim that India had again been hyphenated with Pakistan. He was responding to opposition MPs who had said that Indian foreign policy had come a cropper as international support was not forthcoming. He said India's objectives in its engagements with the global community was to ensure zero tolerance for terrorism, and to stress "the right to defend ourselves, right to defend the people of India against cross-border terrorism". Jaishankar said that the UNSC condemnation of the Pahalgam attack resonated throughout the international community, adding that while there are 193 members of the United Nations, only three, apart from Pakistan, opposed India's strikes on terror camps in Pakistan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The World's Oldest Living Actors.

The minister also defended his recent visit to China saying he went there to discuss de-escalation, trade restrictions and terrorism. "In 2005, China was designated as a Strategic Partner during Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to India. Strategic Partner! And there is a very famous concept called Chindia. A belief that China and India have common interest," he said, while attacking Congress functionary Rahul Gandhi for getting a briefing from the Chinese ambassador while the Doklam crisis was still on.
