Lashkar-e-Taiba enraged by Bilawal Bhutto's statement on extraditing Hafiz Saeed to India, his son says 'every Pakistani's head...'
In an interview given to a Qatari international channel, Bilawal Bhutto said that Pakistan can hand over Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India, but India should first show cooperation in talks and other matters. Bilawal Bhutto also said that Pakistan itself has got Hafiz Saeed punished for funding terrorism without India's help and today Hafiz Saeed is inside the jail. What did Hafiz Saeed's son say?
Now, strong objection to Bilawal Bhutto's statement has come from the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, whose chief Hafiz Saeed's son Talha Saeed criticized Bilawal's statement and said that all the terror cases against Hafiz Saeed in Pakistan are false and Bilawal should have presented Pakistan's side in the interview, and not opposed Hafiz Saeed by speaking India's language on the issue of Hafiz Saeed. Whatever Hafiz Saeed has done till date, he has done it for Pakistan only. Talha Saeed also announced a protest against Bilawal. What is Bilawal's position in Pakistan?
Bilawal Bhutto's father Asif Ali Zardari is the current President of Pakistan and Bilawal Bhutto is the head of Pakistan People's Party (PPP), which is currently in alliance with the ruling Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's party Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) and is a partner in power in Pakistan. On May 28, Pakistan's Union Minister Malik Rashid had announced from an open platform that '24 crore Pakistanis are today represented by men like Hafiz Saeed and Saifullah Kasuri'.
It is worth noting that former Pakistani army officials and many exiled human rights activists have given evidence of Pakistan's collusion with terrorists.

Dropped from official holiday calendar by L-G, ruling NC starts preparations for ‘Martyrs Day' in Srinagar
Ruling National Conference (NC) on Monday (July 7, 2025) held a special meeting in Srinagar to review the preparations on the occasion of the death anniversary of Begum Akbar Jehan Abdullah, wife of the party founder Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah, and 'Martyrs' Day' on 13th July. The preparations assumed significance because J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha removed the 'Martyrs Day' from the official holiday calendar of the government after the Centre ended J&K's special constitutional status in 2019. 'A review meeting was convened at the party headquarters, Nawa-e-Subha, Srinagar, to assess the ongoing arrangements for the annual observance of the death anniversary of Madar-e-Maharban Begum Akbar Jehan Abdullah (on July 11) and Martyrs' Day on 13th July. The meeting was chaired by the General Secretary, Haji Ali Muhammad Sagar,' a NC spokesman said. Mr. Sagar directed the party cadre to ensure a special prayer ceremony is held at the Naqsband Sahib graveyard where 22 locals, who lost their lives in the rebellion against the Dogra rule, are buried. Top J&K government officials, including the then Governor, would join the regional parties in paying tributes to those killed by the soldiers of the Dogra monarch in 1931 in Kashmir. However, no official ceremony is held at the graveyard of those who were killed in 1931 after 2019. There is a growing demand from the regional parties to reincorporate July 13 in the holiday calendar of J&K. The ruling NC too advocated its inclusion but failed to do so because of the special powers granted to the L-G in the Union Territory (UT). 'The government should declare July 13 as a gazetted holiday in memory of the martyrs of 1931. The 'Martyrs' Day' should be observed at the State level, as it used to be,' J&K Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari said. 'This government is in danger only because of its underperformance and its failure to fulfil promises made to the people. Otherwise, it has a strong mandate for a full five-year term,' he added.

HC grants bail to ITR espionage accused
Cuttack: In a development related to Chandipur espionage case, the Orissa high court granted bail to Basanta Kumar Behera, a contractual air conditioning operator at the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur, who had been in custody since Sept 2021 for allegedly spying for a Pakistani agent. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Behera was one of four DRDO contractual employees arrested in the sensational case that was initially investigated by the state police and later transferred to the State CID-Crime Branch. The case involved allegations of leaking sensitive missile testing information to a foreign handler. Justice Gourishankar Satapathy, while granting bail on July 1, underscored the importance of the constitutional right to a speedy trial under Article 21. The court observed, "If the state is unable to provide a speedy trial, it should not oppose the plea of bail merely on the ground that the crime committed is serious." The court noted that Behera had earlier availed interim bail on two occasions without violating any of the imposed conditions. Considering his prolonged incarceration, his compliant conduct during interim release, and the bail already granted to co-accused Sachin Kumar Chhata and Tapas Ranjan Nayak, the court found sufficient grounds to approve Behera's bail application. Advocate Ashutosh Mishra, appearing on Behera's behalf, confirmed that all necessary procedures are being expedited for his client's release. "As of now, Basanta Kumar Behera is in Balasore Jail. We are in the process of fulfilling the bail conditions, and he is expected to be released within a day or two," Mishra told TOI on Monday. Behera was granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 5 lakh with two solvent sureties. He has been directed to report to the local police station once every fortnight for the next six months, preferably on Sundays. Additionally, he must not leave the jurisdiction of the trial court without prior permission and is required to submit his current residential address, mobile number, and other relevant details to both the court and investigating agency. The trial, currently pending before the 3rd additional sessions judge in Balasore, has made little progress in the past nearly four years.

PIB fact check exposes false Pakistan propaganda, alleging
New Delhi [India], July 7 (ANI): The PIB fact check has debunked the false claims made by a Pakistani propaganda account on the alleged loss of lives of four IAF pilots, including three Rafale pilots. The Pakistani social media is spreading the false narrative, which was amplified more amid Operation Sindoor. According to the PIB fact check post, it stated that, 'The Government of India has issued NO such statement.' 'India Admits Rafale Pilot Loss? - Here's the truth behind this claim: Several Pakistani propaganda handles are spreading false claims that India has officially confirmed the loss of 4 IAF pilots, including those flying 3 Rafale jets. FAKE ALERT! The Government of India has not issued such a statement. There is no truth to these rumours. Don't fall for misinformation. Always cross-verify with official sources before believing or sharing such claims.' The PIB fact-checking unit wrote on X. The image showcased an X-post of Mansoor Ahmed Qureshi and the Daily CPEC, claiming that four indian pilots lost their lives. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen. India used Rafale jets armed with SCALP missiles and HAMMER bombs to target nine terror infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir on May 7. The Indian Air Force completed the mission in just 23 minutes without any losses, exposing the weaknesses of Pakistan's air defence systems, the sources said. After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan. Following this, on May 10, an agreement was announced regarding the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan. (ANI)
