Govt agrees to 16-hr discussion on Operation Sindoor, Pahalgam
At the meeting of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC), attended by members of different parties and chaired by Speaker Om Birla, sources said the government representatives noted that Modi is leaving on a foreign visit this week, and a debate when he is present in the House is possible only next week. Asked if government's stand means that Modi may speak on the issue in the House, official sources said no decision has been taken yet.
Meanwhile, the PM met his senior Cabinet colleagues who later held deliberations among themselves on the ruling alliance's strategy.
Opposition members protested at the BAC meeting that the government's agenda for this week did not mention their demand for a debate on the issue. They said the Home Minister and the Defence Minister should also be present during the discussion. Some Opposition members also called for a debate on the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and the situation in Manipur.

‘Bharat jhukega nahi': Ravi Kishan recalls PM Modi's words as he tried to touch his feet; says he was told to ‘stay away from controversies'
Although actor Ravi Kishan commenced his political journey with Congress, he jumped ship in 2017 and joined the BJP, and has been the ruling party's MP from Gorakhpur Lok Sabha constituency since 2019. An ardent admirer of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the actor-politician recently opened up about the PM's invaluable advice to him. Ravi also maintained that most BJP leaders are following Modi as an example and trying to emulate his nature. Infamous for not mincing his words when commenting on various topics, he stated that he piped down a bit as per PM Modi's instructions. Maintaining that he used to get involved in a lot of controversies initially, he said during an appearance on Raj Shamani's podcast, 'In fact, the Prime Minister himself asked me not to do that. He said, 'You are a celebrity as well. So, speak only after giving it a lot of thought. The lesser you appear before the media, the better. Avoid getting embroiled in controversies as much as possible.' He said those things in the very best words. From that day onwards, I have never made any loose talk just to create headlines.' Pointing out that he has something he likes to call the 'Ravi Kishan ras (essence)', the actor said there have been occasions when remarks infused with it have gone viral. He added, however, that such moments usually happen unintentionally, and emphasised that he stopped trying to generate headlines deliberately after receiving that advice from Modi. 'There were a lot of issues going on, including the Marathi-Bhojpuri controversy (that I could have commented on). But the best thing to do is, do your work, stay quiet and don't beat the drum. The entire country is watching you. Also, people know everything, including the smallest details about you, such as your car, bungalow, success et al. Keep your head down and be natural,' he added. He also mentioned that people like him have to always respect others and listen to them. 'There have been times when people stopped my car, asking about the drainage in their area, and even requesting me to book train tickets for them. You have to sit there and book tickets for them. As an MP, I have to. They complain to me about water not coming from roadside taps. I fought the election, and it's my job to look into that as well. Don't make faces; don't get angry,' Kishan emphasised. Dubbing Modi as 'Niswarth Sant', he recalled an incident where he was about to touch the PM's feet, but the latter stopped him immediately. 'Even Yogiji (Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath) is following Modiji's path. In fact, all of us are. Every BJP leader is following Modiji. As a star campaigner for the party, I can say with confidence that all BJP CMs are following his lead. He is so virat (huge) and so is his work… He works for 18 hours or so every day after getting up at 4.30 in the morning… He never takes leave, even if he is ill. I have never heard that he's sick or that he's on a holiday. He has been working 24×7 for so many years. Yogiji is the same. They function on just 4-5 hours of sleep. They are 'niswarth sant (selfless saints)'. We get such people only once in centuries,' he pointed out. Kishan continued, 'After I won my first election, I went to meet Modiji in his cabin to seek his blessings. Looking at me, he asked, 'So, how's your Mahadev?' I went fully blank. I usually don't fall on people's feet. But, upon seeing him, my hands went straight for his feet to touch them. He immediately held my hands and said, 'Bharat jhukega nahi (India will not bow down)'. That was the line for me.'

India, U.K. to sign free trade agreement on July 24 in London
India and the U.K. will sign a free trade agreement on Thursday (July 24, 2025) in London that will allow export of labour-intensive products such as leather, footwear and clothing at concessional rates, while making imports of whisky and cars from Britain cheaper. The pact also helps double trade between the two economies to $120 billion by 2030. Also Read: Caution and optimism: On India's FTA with the United Kingdom The pact, officially called a comprehensive economic and trade agreement, will be signed in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and his British counterpart Jonathan Reynolds would sign the agreement. Once the pact is signed, it will require approval from the British Parliament before it can take effect. The process may take about a year. PM Modi on Wednesday (July 23, 2025) left on a four-day visit to the U.K. and the Maldives. The two countries announced the conclusion of the negotiations for the trade agreement on May 6. The pact has chapters on issues including goods, services, innovation, government procurement, and intellectual property rights. The two countries have also concluded the negotiations for the Double Contribution Convention Agreement, or social security pact. It would help avoid double contribution to social security funds by Indian professionals working for a limited period in Britain. In such trade agreements, two countries either eliminate or significantly reduce customs duties on maximum goods traded between them. They also ease norms for promoting trade in services and bilateral investments. Under the pact, 99% of Indian exports would benefit from zero duty in the U.K. market. The main proposals of the agreement include slashing of import duty on British Whisky and gin from 150% to 75% before reducing to 40% by ten years of the deal; automotive tariffs will be reduced from over 100% to 10% under a quota. Other goods with reduced import duties, which can open markets and make trade cheaper for businesses and Indian consumers, include cosmetics, aerospace, lamb, medical devices, salmon, electrical machinery, soft drinks, chocolate and biscuits. It will open export opportunities for domestic labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, marine products, leather, footwear, sports goods and toys, gems and jewellery, engineering goods, auto parts and engines, and organic chemicals. On the services front, the agreement eases mobility for professionals including Contractual Service Suppliers; Business Visitors; Investors; Intra-Corporate Transferees; partners and dependent children of Intra-Corporate Transferees with right to work; and Independent Professionals like yoga instructors, musicians and chefs. India's exports to the U.K. rose by 12.6% to $14.5 billion, while imports grew by 2.3% to $8.6 billion in 2024-25. The bilateral trade between India and the U.K. increased to $21.34 billion in 2023-24 from $20.36 billion in 2022-23.
