Invoke divine blessings for armed forces: Pawan Kalyan
Pawan Kalyan said, 'The Indian armed forces possess immense strength, capability, and advanced technology to protect the nation. This is a time when the whole nation should pray for the safety of armed forces and the nation's victory in the conflict.'
To this end, the JSP has initiated a spiritual movement to invoke divine blessings. Special pujas will be performed at the six Shanmukha temples in Tamil Nadu -- Tiruttani, Tiruchendur, Palani, Tiruparankundram, Swamimalai and Palamudiracholai on May 13. JSP MLAs and Janasainiks will participate in the special pujas.
In Andhra Pradesh, special prayers will be held at Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy temple in Vijayawada, Mopidevi and Bikkavolu Subrahmanya temple, and Sri Puruhutika Devi temple in Pithapuram. Special rituals will also be conducted at Karnataka's Kukke and Ghati Subrahmanya temples.
On Sunday, a major prayer will be held at Suryanarayana Swamy temple in Arasavalli of Srikakulam district to invoke the Sun God's blessings for the Indian army. Pawan Kalyan urged Janasainiks and the people to pray for the well-being of the people in the war-affected States of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana.
The party urged the people of all faiths to pray in their respective places of worship, including churches and mosques, for national unity and integrity and divine protection for the Indian armed forces.

Trump Signs ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act': What It Means For Indians And High-Income Americans
Last Updated: The bill, passed by both chambers of Congress, includes several measures that will impact Indian families and workers abroad US President Donald Trump signed into law the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act" on Friday during a Fourth of July picnic at the White House, bringing sweeping changes to taxes, remittances, and federal spending. The bill, passed by both chambers of Congress, includes several measures that will impact Indian families and workers abroad, as well as raise fresh questions about tax breaks for high-income Americans. 'This is the most patriotic bill ever passed," Trump said during the signing. 'We are putting American families, American jobs, and American values first." Impact On Indians: Remittance Tax One of the bill's key provisions is a 1 per cent levy on international money transfers made by non-US citizens, including green card holders and workers on temporary visas. The tax applies to remittances sent using cash, money orders, or cashier's cheques. India, the world's largest remittance recipient, could be significantly affected. According to the Reserve Bank of India, Indian nationals received $32.9 billion in remittances from the US in 2023-24, accounting for nearly 28 per cent of total inflows. The new levy, even at a reduced rate of 1 per cent — down from an earlier proposed 5 per cent— may strain households in states like Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar, where remittances support education, healthcare, and housing. Tax Cuts For The Wealthy The law allows up to $10,000 in interest deductions on loans for buying new American-made vehicles. However, federal tax credits for electric vehicles — which offered up to $7,500 in incentives — will now end in September, four years ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, clean energy tax credits from the Biden era will be phased out entirely by 2028. Defence And Immigration Spending The bill also boosts military and immigration enforcement budgets, with $150 billion allocated for shipbuilding and missile defence, including Trump's 'Golden Dome" project. Another $100 billion has been directed to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to ramp up immigration crackdowns. One campaign promise that did make it through — a tax exemption on service industry tips — was included in the final law. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the new law will add $3.3 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade. Notably, for many Indian families reliant on US remittances, even a modest 1 per cent tax could add up. At the same time, the law renews Trump-era tax cuts for the rich, intensifying debates over fiscal priorities and economic equity.
