India Today4 days ago
Anupam Kher congratulated the Indian Armed Forces on the success of Operation Mahadev in Srinagar, in which terrorists, including the mastermind behind the Pahalgam attack, were eliminated. In an interview with IndiaToday.in, the veteran actor praised the Narendra Modi-led BJP government, calling it "a government which acts.""I congratulate the government for putting an end to those perpetrators who brutally killed 26 of our citizens. I think it's important to act, and it's a government which acts. It takes time... such things do not happen overnight, especially when intelligence is involved and something is always involved," Kher said in the interview.advertisementKher, who is currently launching his new book titled 'Different But No Less', also commended the Indian Armed Forces for their resolve and courage. "It needed to happen and it has happened. I am proud of our Armed Forces. If we don't have Armed Forces like this, if we can't avenge the killing of our innocent people - based on their religion, in front of their wives - what can be more brutal than that? It's good, and I am proud of them," Kher added.Operation Mahadev: A tactical strike

"Has His Reasons": Shashi Tharoor On Rahul Gandhi's "Dead Economy" Remark

Mumbai: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday refused to comment on party leader Rahul Gandhi's endorsing US President Donald Trump's 'dead economy' remark about India and said the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha may have had his "own reasons" for saying so. The remarks came after Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact. Speaking to the mediapersons, Tharoor said, "I don't want to comment on what my party leader has said. He has his reasons for saying so. My concern is that our relationship with the US, as a strategic and economic partnership, is important for us. We are exporting around 90 billion worth of goods to America. We can't be in a position to lose that or have it diminish significantly." "We must wish our negotiators strength to get a fair deal for India. We should also be talking to other regions for exporting our goods. Then we could make up for some of what we might lose in the US. We have to support our negotiators," he added. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact. Speaking to reporters, Rahul Gandhi said that the whole world knows the Indian economy is "dead" except for the Prime Minister and Finance Minister. "Yes, he is right. Everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact. The entire world knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. BJP has finished the economy to help Adani," Rahul Gandhi said. On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump made a shocking statement on his social media platform Truth Social after the announcement of 25 percent tariffs against India and threatened an additional "penalty" for importing Russian oil.

CM mourns loss of M.K. Sanoo

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has condoled the death of critic and orator M.K. Sanoo who passed away in Kochi on Saturday. Recalling Sanoo's contributions to Kerala society and history through his activities, discourses, and writings, Mr. Vijayan said his demise was an irreparable loss, particularly to the progressive movement. His was a quiet but forceful voice in the socio-cultural milieu. He was an excellent teacher, orator, public activist, social worker, writer, and literary critic and in step with the State's progressive achievement. His four-year term as an MLA was noteworthy. He was always eager to hear the problems of the people directly and bring them to the attention of Minister and officials, the Chief Minister said. Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan, in his condolence message, said Prof. Sanoo was a multi-faceted personality – literary critic, biographer, orator, and a teacher. He left his imprint not only on literary criticism but also the area of Malayalam biographies. Recalling Sanoo's biographies of Changampuzha, Basheer, and P.K. Balakrishnan, Mr. Satheesan praised his writing and oratorial skills. Communist Party of India State unit secretary Binoy Viswam said Sanoo led a full life as a writer, literary critic, orator, and teacher. He had left a lasting imprint on Malayalam literature and on society. He was a Left fellow-traveller and gained recognition as a legislator too. He was full of empathy and interacted with all sections of society. Expressing his grief, Communist Party of India (Marxist) State secretary M.V. Govindan said Kerala had lost a multi-faceted personality. Sanoo always took care to uphold Left principles and reformist thinking. He was a leading light who endeared himself to the people through his work and progressive thinking. Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala said Sanoo was a shining star of Malayalam criticism who had left a void that could not be filled. He enriched Malayalam literature with a few select books. As a legislator, he participated in all events without political considerations. Sree Narayana Guru's philosophy was the essence of his thinking. Paying tributes to Sanoo, Bharatiya Janata Party State (BJP) president Rajeev Chandrasekhar said in a message that Sanoo's demise was indeed a loss to the Malayalam literary tradition and cultural sphere. His contributions as a teacher, legislator, writer, thinker, and orator were immense. BJP leader K. Surendran said the State had lost a great literary critic in Sanoo. His scholarship of Sree Narayana Guru's philosophy was very deep. As a legislator, he functioned without considerations for political affiliations. He maintained good ties with the BJP.
