PDP protest foiled in Srinagar, several detained
The PDP said the protest, which began from party headquarters, was aimed at highlighting key civic issues, including rising electricity tariffs, acute shortage of drinking and irrigation water, and the demand for shifting Kashmiri detainees back to local jails.
A PDP spokesperson said the party had planned a demonstration but was prevented by police, who detained senior leaders and workers activists.
The detained among others included senior leaders Abdul Haq Khan, Mohammad Khurshid Alam, Ghulam Nabi Lone Hanjura, Basharat Bukhari, Zahoor Ahmad Mir and several former legislators.
The PDP condemned the elected government for disallowing the protest to highlight the basic issues.
'Isn't it a dictatorship that this protest was not allowed by the government?' PDP leader Hanjura asked .

TRF Echoes Pakistan Foreign Minister's Protest Of US Ban On Terror Outfit
Last Updated: This clearly exposes the synergy between Pakistan's diplomatic machinery and its terror proxies, said sources Hours after Pakistan's foreign minister and deputy PM Ishaq Dar expressed disagreement with the United States' ban on the TRF, the terror outfit issued a statement opposing the decision. The Resistance Front justifies its armed resistance in Jammu and Kashmir as a lawful and necessary response to what it describes as the 'unlawful Indian occupation". The TRF claims that its designation as a terrorist organisation by the United States is unjust and influenced by Indian pressure on American institutions. The group maintains it is a legitimate, local freedom movement fighting against the so-called 'Indian occupation" of Jammu and Kashmir, rejecting the terrorist label. It asserts that the US and other powers label Kashmiri groups as terrorists out of frustration. TRF's statement rejects the US decision, framing its struggle as a rightful liberation from an oppressive Indian regime. Top intelligence sources reveal that the TRF is not an indigenous movement but a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba. 'The timing of the TRF statement, issued just hours after Ishaq Dar criticised the US designation, clearly exposes the synergy between Pakistan's diplomatic machinery and its terror proxies, confirming state-sponsored narrative warfare," said a source. The TRF has been involved in targeted killings of civilians, migrant workers, and minority communities in Kashmir. This is evidenced by confessions, forensic recovery of weapons, and intercepted communications with handlers in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, said sources. Financial trails tracked via hawala and crypto channels link TRF operations to Pakistan-based facilitators, confirming that the group is part of a hybrid warfare doctrine combining terror and propaganda, they added. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 22:31 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban says likelihood of WWIII increasing, urges international community to act
Budapest, July 26 (UNI) Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, referring to the wide array of conflicts plaguing the world today – most prominently the Russia-Ukraine war and the EU's increasing desire to be an active participant in it, has said that the likelihood of a World War III is ever increasing, and urged the international community to do all it can to prevent it, reports Russian state media TASS. "Perhaps the most important question now is whether there will be a third world war, and the answer is that the likelihood of a world war is constantly increasing," he said in an address broadcast by the M1 TV channel. As evidence, Orban cited the results of polls in six major countries, whose citizens consider the threat of a new world war to be quite real. The opinion that "in 5-10 years a third world war will break out is held by 55% of the French, 50% of the Spanish, 46% of the Italians, 45% of the Americans, 41% of the British, and 41% of the Germans," the premier added." "The whole world feels the cold wind of war," he noted. He further claimed that Europe was no longer looking for peace, and stated that Brussels would go to war with Russia even if the US decides to pull out. Hungary, in contrast, does not wish to engage in warfare—although, as he noted, Brussels believes that this would require a pro-war government, something he would never allow. UNI ANV RN
