Ukrainian UAVs, Guided Aerial Bombs Strike Deep Into Russia; Putin Responds With Targeted Attacks
Talha Saeed, son of 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, has launched a scathing attack on PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari after the latter hinted that Pakistan may not oppose extraditing Hafiz Saeed and Jaish chief Masood Azhar to India. Calling Bhutto 'not a true Muslim', Talha accused him of parroting the Indian and Western narrative to gain favor internationally. 'How can Bilawal offer my father like this? He's compromising our sovereignty,' Talha said, adding that PPP has a history of leaking sensitive info to foreign powers. Talha also accused India of sponsoring terrorism inside Pakistan, and questioned if individuals like Bilawal could be trusted with the country's foreign policy and national security. Bilawal's interview with Al Jazeera has now triggered a major ideological rift within Pakistan, exposing fault lines between political elites and religious extremists.#talhasaeed #bilawalbhutto #hafizsaeed #let #lashkaretaiba #pakistan #india #masoodazhar #pakistanpolitics #hafizsaeedextradition #terrorism #ppp #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

Two friends of India come forward to stop China from troubling India by..., the countries are...
New Delhi: India has fought a different kind of war with China over the shortage of fertilizers and now it seems that India has pulled itself out of this difficulty with a big diplomatic move. China's decision to stop fertilizer exports to India can be considered one of the most drastic ways of weaponising the supply chain by Beijing. By doing this at the beginning of the Kharif season, it has caused a huge shortage of DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) for India. Which two countries are helping India? In such a situation, along with dealing with terrorism, trade and Trump, India also had to make a big diplomatic effort for fertilizers in the last few months. Because it was necessary to ensure adequate stock before DAP distribution for the Rabi season. The Rabi season usually starts in late July. During this time, countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco came forward to help India. What is the volume of total import? Before the Rabi season, DAP imports to India reached a little more than 22 lakh metric tonnes from China. India has got help from Saudi Arabia, which is another big supplier. After talks, an agreement was reached between the two countries, under which more than 31 lakh metric tonnes of DAP will be available. Similarly, India also signed an agreement with Morocco, which will give 5 lakh metric tonnes of DAP. Still, the shortage of 7 lakh metric tonnes will be tried to be met from domestic stock. Talks are underway to increase exports from Russia since there is no sanction on fertilizer. Which other countries is India talking to? The government estimates that it will have adequate supply before the Rabi season. India is talking to several countries to improve this supply chain, including Egypt, Nigeria, Togo, Mauritania and Tunisia. China has been gradually working on new contracts with India for fertilizer since 2023, therefore, there has been a steady increase in supplies from Saudi Arabia, as Indian companies started feeling the pressure. However, China was better in terms of cost. What is the connection with Operation Sindoor? In May-June this year, China suddenly became strict in the matter of fertilizer. Indian agencies came to know that suppliers were informally told that goods going to India would not be allowed to go. This was a clear signal, which rang alarm bells in New Delhi, that too in the midst of 'Operation Sindoor'. India had to ensure that this crisis lasted only for one season and no major problem arose at the domestic level. On the other hand, on the war front, China was actively helping the enemy.

As top ULFA(I) leader joins BJP, what it means for peace talks in Assam
Manoj Rabha — alias Drishti Rajkhowa — who joined the BJP earlier this week was the second-in-command of the United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent) before he surrendered in 2020. Rabha was inducted into the BJP along with a set of other leaders, including the Aam Aadmi Party's former Assam state-in-charge Manoj Dhanowar. Speaking about Rabha's entry into the BJP, Assam BJP chief Dilip Saikia said he has 'assimilated into our mainstream society for quite a while now'. 'He has left guns and bullets and entered the politics of ballots. What we have been saying for a very long time is 'Bye bye to bullet and welcome to ballot'… We, along with the central government, are always telling Paresh Baruah [ULFA(I)'s commander-in-chief] that bullets and talks cannot go together. The Constitution does not permit it. There can be talks… That is what we want, but Assam has to be peaceful,' he said. One of the BJP's biggest talking points in Assam is the numerous peace pacts its governments have signed with various insurgent groups in the state, but ULFA(I) under Baruah's leadership is the only one that has repeatedly refused to enter peace talks. A pro-talks faction of the ULFA had signed a tripartite peace pact with the Union and state government in December 2023, but the ULFA(I) has resisted coming to the table for talks without discussing sovereignty for Assam. Rabha, 55, is from Western Assam's Goalpara district. He was known to be a close confidant of Baruah and was the deputy commander-in-chief of ULFA (I). His surrender in November 2020 had been hailed by the central government as 'a major blow' to the outfit that was 'ushering a new dawn of peace in the region'. He had been an active member of the outfit for three decades, was a well-known Improvised Explosive Device (IED) expert, and headed the outfit's operations in Western Assam. His parents — Dhaneswar Rabha and Sushila Rabha — had been killed in 1999 in the infamous 'secret killings' of Assam. These were extra-judicial killings of close relatives of numerous ULFA leaders by unidentified killers between 1998 and 2001. Rabha's formal induction into the BJP comes amidst criticism over the government's handling of the ULFA(I). It took place days after the ULFA(I) claimed that its camps in Myanmar along the border in India had been bombed in a 'drone attack' by Indian forces in which three of its senior functionaries had been killed. While the Indian Army has denied information on such an operation and the Assam state government has distanced itself from it, the alleged operation has drawn criticism from both civil society groups and opposition parties in Assam as being detrimental to the cause of facilitating talks with the ULFA (I). 'Sudden and unprovoked attacks of this nature could disrupt the peace process, which neither the people of Assam nor AASU desires,' the All Assam Students' Union had said in a statement. Opposition parties such as the Congress and the Asom Jatiya Parishad have also questioned the implications of the incident on future peace talks. Assam Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi claimed that 'precision strikes' could not have taken place without the knowledge of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Sarma. He asked: 'What is the reason that the approach of dialogue and peace has been abandoned in favour of killing youths from Assam in precision attacks?'

Asaduddin Owaisi on 7/11 acquittals: Will Govt punish ATS for jailing innocents for 18 years? – ‘prime life is gone'
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on July 21 asked whether the government would take action against officers of Maharashtra ATS (Anti-Terror Squad) who investigated the 7/11 Mumbai train blasts case of 2006 after the Bombay High Court acquitted all 12 accused in the case. The Bombay High Court's judgement came nearly a decade after a special court awarded the convicts capital punishment and life sentences. '12 Muslim men were in Jail for 18 years for a crime they didn't commit. Their prime life is gone. 180 families who lost their loved ones, several injured no closure for them. Will the government take action against officers of Maharashtra ATS who investigated this case ?' the Hyderabad MP asked in a post on X. A bench of Justice Anil Kilor and Justice Shyam Chandak observed that 'the prosecution has utterly failed in establishing the case beyond reasonable doubts,' legal news website Bar and Bench reported. The court found the statements of nearly all prosecution witnesses unreliable. The court reportedly said there was no reason for taxi drivers or people inside to remember the accused after almost 100 days of the blast. 'Innocent people are sent to jail, and then, years later, when they are released from jail, there is no possibility for reconstruction of their lives. For last 17 years, these accused are in jail. They haven't stepped out even for a day. The majority of their prime life is gone. In such cases where there is a public outcry, the approach by police is always to first assume guilt and then go from there,' Owaisi said in the post. On the evening of July 11, 2006, bomb blasts took place at seven different places in the Mumbai local trains within just 11 minutes. In the incident, 189 people lost their lives in blasts, while more than 827 passengers were injured. The bombs were placed in first-class compartments of trains from Churchgate. They exploded near the stations of Matunga Road, Mahim Junction, Bandra, Khar, Jogeshwari, Bhayandar and Borivali. A trial court in 2015 convicted 12 people in the blasts case.
