Exposing nuke bluff, terror hubs: PM unveils 5-pronged Army success against Pak
"Pakistan couldn't do anything," he said, adding that in just 22 minutes, the victims of the April 22 terror attack were avenged through precision strikes.Highlighting the second side of the Army's success story during Operation Sindoor, PM Modi pointed out that this was the first time India had reached territories inside Pakistan where it had never ventured before, not even during previous wars, to raze their terror establishments in Bahawalpur and Muridke to the ground.Presenting the third side, PM Modi declared that Pakistan can no longer hide behind the bogey of a nuclear threat. "We have proved Pakistan's nuclear threat to be a lie...India will no longer bow down to their nuclear blackmailing," he said.Moving on to the fourth aspect of Operation Sindoor's success story, Prime Minister said that the four-day conflict witnessed India's technological prowess at play through precision strikes in the heart of Pakistan."Pakistan's airbases suffered major damages. And, till date, a lot of their airbases are lying in the ICU," quipped PM Modi. PM Modi reminded everyone present in the House that, had it not been for the preparations India had made in the defence sector over the past decade, the losses incurred in this era of technology could have been insurmountable.Lastly, PM Modi pointed out that during Operation Sindoor, the whole world witnessed the power of Aatmanirbhar Bharat for the first time. He said that Made-in-India drones and missiles laid Pakistan's air defence bare, adding that the 'synergy' among the Air Force, Navy, and Army proved costly for the neighbouring country.- EndsTune InMust Watch

‘He Likes Swiss Watches!': Trump Shocks Horology With Tariffs
The Trump administration jolted Switzerland with punitive new tariffs. Few seemed to be more taken aback than buyers and sellers of Swiss watches. Oliver R. Müller, a luxury watch consultant based in Switzerland, was indignant at the blow that tariffs will likely inflict on the country's watch industry, which has recently been relying on demand from the US to offset fading sales in China. 'It's another burden that comes on top of many others,' Müller said in an interview. The administration's 39% tariff on all Swiss imports, if passed along from sought-after brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe and Omega to distributors in the US, would likely lead to retail-price increases of 12% to 14%, Müller estimated. That would add about $1,000 to the $9,500 price of a stainless steel Rolex Submariner. Swiss watches are a longstanding signal of affluence, and over the years the president has been seen wearing various high-end timepieces, including a Rolex. Members of his family and his administration have also sported Swiss watches in public. For observers, that made the 39% levy all the more vexing. 'On top of it all, he likes Swiss watches!' Müller said. High-end watches have been drawing a growing American fan base in recent years, with obsessive owners showing off their collections on social media. The chain retailer Watches of Switzerland, which has locations in tony shopping areas across the US, said in a statement that it would 'continue to work closely with our brand partners to mitigate any potential impact.' Trump administration officials didn't seem to be focused on watches when they put the tariffs in place, instead citing pharmaceuticals as a driving force in the trade imbalance between the countries. The US has no large luxury-watch making industry of its own. Online watch enthusiasts have long clocked the make and reference numbers of the high-end watches of Trump officials. FBI Director Kash Patel has been spotted wearing a Breitling. Former DOGE czar Elon Musk has a TAG Heuer with the SpaceX logo. Secretary of State Marco Rubio — who in a previous political life declared that Trump, had he not inherited a fortune from his father, would be 'selling watches in Manhattan' — has worn a Rolex, too. There were already warning signs in the Swiss watch industry before Trump's tariffs. Exports fell 5.6% in June compared with a year earlier, according to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, a trade group. That was driven by 'significant declines' in sales in the US, as well as Japan and Hong Kong, the group said in a monthly report. Trump lent his name and signature to a line of MAGA-coded timepieces last year, including a $100,000 'Swiss-made' Tourbillon. The makers of the watch, a firm registered as TheBestWatchesonEarth LLC, didn't respond to a request for comment sent through an intermediary. The site states that the watches 'are not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign.' With assistance from Chris Rovzar.

List steps you plan against betting apps, SC asks government
. NEW DELHI: Expressing serious concern over the deleterious impact of addictive betting applications on youth, the Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre to respond in two weeks what steps it is contemplating to save youngsters from getting financially ruined, often forcing them to commit suicide. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi asked the counsel for Centre to specify in its affidavit "what remedial measures it is contemplating after applying mind to the gravity of the issue". The counsel said another bench is examining whether these apps are akin to gambling, requiring them to be banned, and the decision in that case would have a direct bearing on reliefs sought in a PIL filed by K A Paul. But the bench said, "You (the Centre) do not appear to take the problem seriously". The judges also issued notices to some states, RBI, ED, TRAI, Google India, Apple India, Dream11 and other gaming companies to file responses in two weeks. The petitioner had sought a complete ban on illegal betting apps and strict regulation of online gaming and fantasy sports, alleging these are being popularised by film stars, famous cricketers and other celebrities and end up drawing youth to the apps like moths to a flame. He said the more than 150-year-old Public Gambling Act, 1867, is unable to deal with the menace. Over 24 incidents of suicide have been reported from Telangana alone in the last one and a half years and are directly linked to debt traps created by gambling/betting platforms.
