"Desh nahi mitne dunga, desh nahi Jhukne dunga": PM Modi hits out at Pak in first public rally after Op Sindoor
Addressing a public rally in Rajasthan's Bikaner, PM Modi said, 'When I came after the airstrikes, I said, Saugandh mujhe iss Desh ki mitti ki, m desh nhi mitne dunga, mein desh nhi Jhukne dunga,'Those who came to erase Sindoor, we have demolished them.'
PM Modi in his first public rally after Operation Sindoor recalled his visit to Rajasthan after balakot airstrikes: 'This brave land of Rajasthan teaches us that nothing is greater than the country and its citizens. On April 22nd, terrorists destroyed the vermilion from the foreheads of our sisters by asking about their religion. Those bullets were fired in Pahalgam, but those bullets pierced the hearts of 140 crore countrymen. After this, every citizen of the country united and resolved that they would wipe out the terrorists. We will punish them more than they can imagine.'
'It is a coincidence that after the country carried out air strikes in Balakot 5 years ago, my first public meeting was held on the border in Rajasthan itself. It is due to the penance of Veerbhoomi that such a coincidence takes place. Now this time when Operation Sindoor happened, then after that my first public meeting is again taking place here in Bikaner on the border of Veerbhoomi Rajasthan among all of you,' he added.
PM Modi said the country's forces destroyed 9 of the biggest hideouts of terrorists in 22 minutes.
'Today, with your blessings and the valour of the country's army, we have all lived up to that pledge. Our government gave a free hand to all three forces... Together, the three forces created such a Chakravyuh that Pakistan was forced to kneel down. In response to the attack on the 22nd, we destroyed 9 of the biggest hideouts of terrorists in 22 minutes. The world and the enemies of the country have also seen what happens when Sindoor turns into gunpowder,' PM Modi said in reference to the name of the operation 'Sindoor'.
'Rajasthan teaches us that nothing is more important than the nation. On 22nd April, terrorists targeted our people, asking their religion and wiping the sindoor of our sisters. The bullets fired in Pahalgam wounded the hearts of 140 crore Indians. In response, the entire nation vowed to punish the terrorists in a way they could never imagine. With the valour of our armed forces, Pakistan was forced to bow. In reply to the 22nd April attack, within just 22 minutes, terrorist camps were destroyed. The country witnessed that when the sindoor of our sisters is targeted, the response can shake the enemy to its core,' he further added.
Highlighting the government's efforts to modernise the country's infrastructure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that there is a sixfold increase in spending on infrastructure in India in recent years.
'Today, I have come among you after seeking blessings from Karni Mata. By Her grace, our resolution of creating Viksit Bharat becomes even stronger. Today a mahayagyan is going on to make modern infrastructure in the country to make Vikshit Bharat, Remarkable efforts have been put in the last 11 years to make our roads, airports and railway stations modern. There is a six times increase in money on infrastructures than earlier times,' PM Modi said. (ANI)

US-India ties to worsen further?, Trump warns Indians over THIS issue: 'Respect the terms of...' US-India ties: Issuing a stern warning to visa holders from India, the Donald Trump administration has issued a stern warning about the over staying in the United States. It also made clear that any violation could lead to visa revocation and possible deportation. This may further deteriorate both countries ties amid the tariff war. In a post on X the US Embassy said, 'Respect the terms of your US visa and your authorized period of stay in the United States. Remaining in the United States past your I-94 'Admit Until Date' can lead to severe consequences such as visa revocation, possible deportation, and ineligibility for future visas. Overstaying may permanently affect your ability to travel, study, or work in the United States.' What the Congress said? Marjorie Taylor Greene, Congresswoman from Georgia's 14th District in a post on X said, 'End Indian H1-B visas replacing American jobs instead and stop funding and sending weapons to the Obama/Biden/Neocon Ukraine Russia war.' Her remarks came while referring to the latest statement by US President Donald Trump, who on Monday said that the United States will 'substantially raise' the tariff paid by India for buying 'massive amounts of Russian Oil', stating that much of the oil purchased from Moscow is being sold in the open market 'for big profits'. Trump wrote on Truth Social, 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!' What US said about India purchasing Russian Oil? India has defended its sovereign right to conduct energy policy based on national interest. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Monday came out strongly in defence of the country's decision to import oil from Russia, despite criticism from the United States and European Union. According to the MEA, India's imports from Russia are driven by necessity and aimed at ensuring predictable and affordable energy costs for Indian consumers. The MEA described the criticism of India's trade policy as 'unjustified and unreasonable,' asserting that India will take necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.

SC judges can't decide who is a true Indian: Priyanka after SC raps Rahul
New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday rallied behind Rahul Gandhi, her brother, over the Supreme Court's reprimand, saying it is not up to the judges to decide who is a "true" Indian. She said her brother has the highest respect for the army and will never say anything against it. As the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi is liable to ask questions of the government, Priyanka said. The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the proceedings against Gandhi before a Lucknow court over his remarks on the army during his December 2022 Bharat Jodo Yatra. The top court, however, censured the Congress leader, saying if he is a "true Indian," he would not say such a thing. Asked about the court's observations, Priyanka told reporters at the Parliament House complex, "With due respect to the honourable judges of the Supreme Court, they do not decide who is a true Indian. It is the job of the opposition leader. It is his duty to ask questions and to challenge the government." The Wayanad MP added, "My brother would never say anything against the Army. He holds the army in the highest respect. So it is a misinterpretation (of his remarks)." Later, she said, "With due respect to the judiciary, it is outside its purview to decide who is a true Indian and who is not." "Justices can't decide on this. Rahul ji has always respected the army, soldiers and officers. In all his speeches and comments, that respect is reflected. It is the responsibility of the Leader of Opposition to ask questions of the government, and he fulfils that," she added. Congress general secretary organisation K C Venugopal said Rahul Gandhi's remarks are the thoughts of every Indian. "When we ask questions inside the House or outside, they (the government) do not answer. We are termed anti-national for asking questions. But we are the true Indians who demand answers," he told reporters in the Parliament House complex. The BJP on Monday took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, saying he has vowed to "strengthen China." The Congress, in response, said that every patriotic Indian has had questions since the Galwan incident, but the government chose to "obfuscate" the truth with its policy of "DDLJ -- Deny, Distract, Lie, and Justify."
