Is India's Water Blockade the Death Knell Pakistan Doesn't See Coming?
While the world focuses on military tensions and diplomacy, India executed a more devastating strategy: turning off the water tap. A quiet, bloodless war that slowly starves a nation — not with bombs, but by drying its rivers. India's calculated steps have been designed to weaken Pakistan from the roots upward. However, as Pakistan-backed terror attacks continue, the global silence is louder than ever. The main question still remains: When terror has a return address, and everyone knows it, why does the world choose silence over action? Unfiltered and fearless, from politics to power games, every episode brings straight answers to sharp questions. Join Hindustan Times' Kumkum Chadha as she digs deeper.

'Jo Hume Chhedega…': PM Modi's Speech on Operation Sindoor Cut Short by Audience. Here's Why
/ Jun 28, 2025, 01:33PM IST Prime Minister Narendra Modi was forced to pause his speech when thunderous applause and chants of 'Modi! Modi!' erupted at a public event. The trigger? Just three words: "Jo Hume Chhedega..." — a veiled but unmistakable warning to Pakistan. PM Modi was referring to Operation Sindoor, India's bold military response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 civilian lives, allegedly carried out by Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives. Though he couldn't complete the line, the crowd understood—and completed it with their cheers. This emotional and powerful moment showcased how deeply national security resonates with citizens. Watch the full clip and reaction as PM Modi outlines India's zero-tolerance policy on terror.#pmmodi #operationsindoor #modispeech #pahalgamattack #indiaresponds #modivsPakistan #joHumeChhedega #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Pakistan starts rebuilding terror launchpads destroyed in Operation Sindoor with ISI support: Report
Pakistan has begun rebuilding terrorist launchpads and training camps that were destroyed during India's precision military strikes under Operation Sindoor in May, NDTV said in an exclusive report citing top intelligence sources. The reconstruction is reportedly backed by the Pakistani military, its intelligence agency ISI, and the interim government. According to the report, Pakistan is setting up small, high-tech terror facilities in forested areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to evade Indian surveillance and future strikes. These facilities are being equipped with technologies designed to mask thermal, radar, and satellite signatures. ET Online has not independently verified the report.

New sites are being built in areas such as Kel, Sardi, Dudhnial, Athmuqam, Jura, Lipa, Pachiban, Kahuta, Kotli, Khuiratta, Mandhar, Nikail, Chamankot, and Jankote locations chosen for their difficult terrain and thick vegetation. To reduce vulnerability, Pakistan's ISI has allegedly dispersed training across smaller camps, each housing fewer than 200 terrorists, the report said. These mini-camps are said to be guarded by specially trained Pakistan Army units and fitted with advanced surveillance tools, including thermal sensors and anti-drone systems. Live Events ISI-terror group nexus active According to intelligence sources cited by NDTV, Indian agencies intercepted communications indicating a recent high-level meeting in Bahawalpur, attended by senior commanders of Jaish-e-Mohammed , Lashkar-e-Taiba , Hizbul Mujahideen , and The Resistance Front, along with ISI officials. Bahawalpur, the JeM headquarters, was a major target in Operation Sindoor. The meeting reportedly focused on rebuilding terror infrastructure, reassigning leadership roles, and accelerating recruitment efforts in Pakistan and Kashmir. NDTV also accessed footage showing condolence events for terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor, with masked armed men providing security. International aid allegedly misused Citing unnamed sources, the report said that part of Pakistan's international financial aid from the World Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB) is allegedly being diverted to finance the reconstitution of these terror camps. Pakistan has secured a USD 350 million loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to promote women's financial inclusion and economic empowerment under the Women Inclusive Finance (WIF) Sector Development Programme, according to Radio Pakistan. Separately, Pakistan is under a USD 7 billion IMF loan programme and has received two tranches so far, the latest in May. The country is also expecting to secure an additional USD 3.3 billion in foreign loans from Chinese banks through a syndicated loan and refinancing of commercial debt.

US-backed GHF chief denies evidence of deaths near aid centres, defends Gaza operation
Hundreds of Palestinians, including children, have died in the past weeks as they gathered at aid distribution centres to collect food after months of blockade imposed by Israel that cut off the region from aid. Most of these deaths were reported near distribution centres run by GHF read more Palestinian children shove to get a ration of hot food from a charity kitchen set up at the Islamic University campus in Gaza City. AFP The head of the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has defended the US and Israel-backed organisation's operation in the region despite the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians during aid collection. Johnnie Moore, the chief of GHF, told BBC that while he does not dispute the deaths of Gazans, the claim that '100 per cent of those casualties are being attributed to close proximity to GHF' is 'not true'. He also accused the United Nations and other international organisations of spreading unverified information. 'We spend an extended period of time trying to understand what actually happened, if anything actually happened and whether there's a way that we can make it less likely to happen,' Moore said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'People need to understand that it is disinformation that people going to GHF sites are being killed, we have no evidence of that happening in proximity to our sites,' he added. Hundreds of Palestinians, including children, have died in the past weeks as they gathered at aid distribution centres to collect food after months of blockade imposed by Israel that cut off the region from aid. Most of these deaths were reported near distribution centres run by GHF. IDF opens probe The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have opened an investigation into possible war crimes after more evidence points to the possibility of its troops deliberately opening fire at Palestinians receiving food at aid distribution centres across Gaza. Anonymous Israeli soldiers have told Israeli newspaper Haaretz that troops had been told to shoot at crowds of Palestinian citizens collecting aid near food distribution sites to keep them away from Israeli military positions. The soldiers added that they had reservations about launching an assault on people who appeared to pose no threat. IDF rejects media reports The Israeli military has rejected reports by Israeli media, saying no forces had been ordered 'to deliberately shoot at civilians, including those approaching the distribution centres'. It added, 'To be clear, IDF directives prohibit deliberate attacks on civilians." Late on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's Defence Minister, Israel Katz, similarly, rejected claims made in the Haaretz report in a joint statement. They accused the news outlet of 'malicious falsehoods designed to defame the IDF, the most moral military in the world'.
