HYDERABAD: Amid a rising controversy over US President
Donald Trump
's claim of having negotiated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor,
Telangana chief minister
A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday claimed that the Narendra Modi government succumbed to pressure from Trump and backed down from the opportunity to crush terrorism and defeat Pakistan following the
Pahalgam terrorist attack
.
Former Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi
had turned down the US President's offer to mediate and stop the war with Pakistan in 1971. It is unfortunate, Revanth said, that the present US President claimed he initiated a ceasefire post-Pahalgam anti-terrorist operations launched by India against Pakistan.
"Post-Pahalgam, the people of the country are remembering the iron lady, Indira Gandhi, for teaching Pakistan a lesson by breaking it into two parts, Bangladesh and Pakistan," Revanth said after paying tributes to the statue of Rajiv Gandhi on the occasion of his death anniversary, also observed as National Anti-Terrorism Day.
After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the entire country, including Congress top leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and party cadres, stood in total support of PM Modi to teach Pakistan a permanent lesson. But the Centre did not utilise this opportunity, Revanth claimed, and added, 'The announcement by Trump about ceasefire made people believe that India succumbed to the US President's threat of trade implications.

"Had the Modi government gone ahead and crushed terrorism, defeated Pakistan and given India a victory, the world would have welcomed and praised him. Morally, the BJP has the responsibility to explain to the people on this issue. They (BJP) have started criticising Rahul Gandhi only to hide their inefficiency. Even the rallies being conducted by the BJP on the streets for Operation Sindoor is to hide their inefficiency.
The people of the country have seen what has happened so far and they will decide. An inspiration should be taken from Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi who gave their lives for the integrity of the country," CM Revanth said.
However, the CM made it clear that the Congress will not indulge in politics when it comes to the country's security, integrity, and protecting the lives of citizens, and has clarity that it will extend total support to the Centre on this issue.
"The Congress achieved independence for the country and it is the responsibility of the party to protect the country and extend support for the cause."
Revanth also criticised Union Minister G Kishan Reddy for making allegations against Rahul Gandhi.
"As the CM, I led a candle light and Tiranga rally with thousands of people in support of PM Modi and our armed forces. But Kishan Reddy was in the comforts of his house (was sleeping in his home Revanth said) instead of standing with us in support of the Modi government and our armed forces," the CM alleged.

Bengal BJP ups ante against ‘fake' voters, accuses Trinamool of ‘threatening' BLOs
The Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have been engaged in a war of words over the possibility of a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in West Bengal, with the saffron party amplifying its rhetoric against 'fake voters' and alleging that West Bengal's District Magistrates and booth-level officers (BLOs) are being 'threatened' by the Trinamool government. 'In booths 101, 102, 104, and 105 of the Baruipur East Assembly constituency, 100% of the residents are Hindus. Despite there being not a single person from the Muslim community residing there, the voter list suddenly shows the names of Muslim voters, none of whom are Indian citizens. All are Bangladeshis,' Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, said on Friday. On Thursday, he had said that in a 'closed-door meeting' at the State Secretariat, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had 'scolded' BLOs travelling to Delhi for training and had ordered that no steps should be taken without permission. He also accused West Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant of having 'verbally instructed District Magistrates to replace the 1,000 BLOs who were trained in Delhi.' 'I want to tell the Chief Secretary that you cannot lawfully change BLOs appointed after July 5 without a valid reason and the consent of the Chief Electoral Officer. The Chief Minister cannot intervene in election-related matters… I am reassuring everyone that no BLO can be changed by the Chief Minister or Chief Secretary,' Mr. Adhikari said, addressing the press outside the West Bengal Assembly on Thursday. He also accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of 'threatening' BLOs and DMs in a meeting on Monday at Bolpur in Birbhum district, where she said she was not informed about 1,000 BLOs being taken to Delhi for training and that BLOs should not harass 'genuine' voters. 'Remember, the EC comes in during elections, but you all are employees of the State government. Do not harass people unreasonably… If you receive any instructions, inform the Chief Secretary first. You all are taking sudden decisions without informing us,' Ms. Banerjee said, addressing district officials during the administrative meeting. Meanwhile, Trinamool leaders have said that a 'covert exercise' towards a National Register of Citizens (NRC) is being conducted in the name of SIR. 'An NRC process is being initiated in the name of voter list revision… if anyone is dropped from the voters' list, protest. Demand to know from your BLO why you were removed as a genuine voter. This is your constitutional and democratic right,' the Chief Minister had said in a public address on Tuesday. The next day, Trinamool's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee alleged that the Election Commission and the BJP were trying to suppress voters, because 'if people are allowed to vote freely, they will be defeated.' On Friday, Trinamool MPs stood outside Parliament and agitated against the SIR in Bihar, which they called 'silent invisible rigging.' According to the website of the Election Commission, SIRs are to be conducted across the country, requiring electors missing from the last SIR electoral roll to 'prove their eligibility' as a voter by submitting government-issued identification documents. However, this has incited a strong reaction from Opposition parties over the possible loss of voting rights for lakhs of voters who might not be able to submit documents on time. With training sessions being held for BLOs of West Bengal, and the electoral roll of the 2002 SIR in the State being made public recently, many in the political circles believe that an SIR could be conducted in West Bengal ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.

India's Operation Mahadev rattles Pakistan; Islamabad claims Home Minister Amit Shah is..., calls India's stance on Indus Water Treaty as...
Home Minister Amit Shah told the Parliament that three terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam terror attack were killed during Operation Mahadev in Jammu and Kashmir. (File) Operation Mahadev: Operation Mahadev, a joint operation by the Indian Army and the state police, in which three Pakistan-linked terrorists who reportedly carried out the Pahalgam terror attack, were killed in Jammu and Kashmir, has rattled the neighbouring country with Islamabad now accusing Indian leaders, particularly the ruling BJP of leveling false allegations against the country without any credible evidence. What did Pakistan say? In a statement, the Pakistan Foreign Ministry termed the statements made in the Indian Parliament on Operation Mahadev during the discussion on Operation Sindoor, as 'irresponsible and provocative', which are aimed at 'distorting facts, justifying India's aggression and gaining public support for its military actions' against Pakistan. 'We completely reject the anti-Pakistan statements made by Indian leaders in their Parliament,' Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan said in the statement. The spokesperson also claimed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah's comments on Operation Mahadev were completely 'non-factual' and lacked any shred of truth. 'India attacked Pakistan on the night of 6-7 May without any credible evidence or investigation, and its aggressive stance has not changed as it continues to make new allegations against Pakistan,' he alleged. Why Pakistan is accusing Home Minister Amit Shah? The Pakistan Foreign Office further claimed that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had offered to conduct an impartial international investigation into the Pahalgam attack, but the offer was declined by India, which is now making 'baseless' claims by linking the terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev to Pakistan. The spokesperson also brought up the Indus Waters Treaty, stating that India's remarks on the strategic water sharing agreement between the two countries are 'worrying'. Operation Mahadev On Tuesday, Home Minister Amit Shah informed the Lok Sabha that three Pakistan-linked terrorists who carried out the Pahalgam attack– Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Suleiman alias Faizal, Afghan, and Jibran– were killed during Operation Mahadev, a joint operation launched by the Indian Army and the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Monday.

"After this verdict, my assessment is that Chidambaram should now be quizzed. He should be asked why he tried to frame the Hindu society with terror. People should also ask this question to him," he added. Almost 17 years after the Malegaon blast that claimed six lives and injured 101 people, a special court in Mumbai on Thursday acquitted all seven accused, including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur , noting that "there was no reliable and cogent evidence" against them.
