Patriotic campaigns uniting nation: Haryana CM during Tiranga yatra
Addressing the media after the rally, Saini said these patriotic campaigns are uniting the nation and honouring our valiant soldiers.
Sharing about his recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Saini said that new opportunities are being created to ensure overall development of Haryana.
Under the Amrit Station Scheme, several railway stations are undergoing significant upgrades, he said.
He also paid homage to the victims of Pahalgam attack and garlanded the statue of Madan Lal Dhingra.
'Operation Sindoor was a wonderful confluence of humanity, technology, efficiency and sharp politics. This yatra will be remembered for ages as a tribute to the brave soldiers of the country. Tiranga yatras were organised not only in the country but in the entire state to salute the valour and courage of these soldiers. The zeal and enthusiasm of crores of people of the state was seen in these yatras,' said Saini, adding that youth from Haryana is ready to serve the nation and the yatra is a message to the heroes that the country stands with them.
Speaking on the ongoing issue with the neighbouring state, Saini said Punjab must abide by the verdicts of both Supreme Court and high court and stop obstructing Haryana's legitimate share of water.
Criticising his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann in the ongoing water issue, he said that politicising such a sensitive and essential issue reflects poorly on a public leader.
Former minister of state Subhash Sudha, in-charge of chief minister's office Kailash Saini, senior leader Jai Bhagwan Sharma DD, BJP district president Tejender Goldy, MC chairperson Sakshi Khurana, deputy commissioner Neha Singh, superintendent of police Nitish Agarwa and others were present.

When will PM Modi breaks silence: Congress after Donald Trump repeats ‘stopped India-Pak conflict' claim
The Congress on Tuesday (July 8, 2025) said U.S. President Donald Trump has for at least the 21st time repeated his claims on bringing about a "ceasefire" between India and Pakistan, and asked when will Prime Minister Narendra Modi break his "silence" on this issue. In his remarks on Monday (July 7, 2025), Mr. Trump repeated the claim that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan by telling the two neighbours that Washington would not do trade with them if they continued the fighting. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "For at least the 21st time in the last 59 days, President Trump has said that he "stopped the four-day India-Pakistan war in May; the war was about to escalate into a nuclear conflict." Mr. Trump has stated that India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire because the carrot-and-stick of trade with the U.S. was used by him, Mr. Ramesh said. "In other words, his message was: stop the war at once or face the real prospects of losing American markets (and presumably investment)," he said. 'President Trump has trumpeted all this just as he was also announcing that a US trade deal with India and Pakistan was about to be declared very soon,' Mr. Ramesh said. "When will Narendra Modi — once described by his senior colleague Ghanshyam Tiwari as the BJP's 'trump card' - break his silence on this issue?" the Congress leader said. Mr. Trump on Monday (July 7, 2025) said the U.S. is close to making a trade deal with India. "Now, we've made a deal with the United Kingdom, we've made a deal with China. We're close to making a deal with India. Others we met with and we don't think we're going to be able to make a deal, so we just send them a letter. If you want to play ball, this is what you have to pay," Mr. Trump said. Repeating his claim about bringing about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Trump said, "We did a job with India and Pakistan, Serbia, Kosovo, Rwanda and the Congo, and this was all over the last three weeks or so and others that were ready to fight." "And we stopped a lot of fights. I think the very big one, frankly, a very, very big one, was India and Pakistan. And we stopped that over trade," he said. "We said we're not going to be dealing with you at all if you're going to fight. And they were maybe at a nuclear stage. They're both nuclear powers. And I think stopping that was very important," Mr. Trump added. Since May 10, Mr. Trump has repeated his claim several times that he helped settle the tensions between India and Pakistan and that he told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours that America will do a lot of trade with them if they stop the conflict. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terrorist infrastructure in territories controlled by Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The strikes triggered four days of intense clashes that ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions on May 10. New Delhi has been maintaining that India's fierce counter-attack that day forced Pakistan to plead for ending the hostilities.

Pakistan didn't shoot down India's Rafale during Op Sindoor, confirms Dassault CEO
Dassault Aviation Chairman and CEO Éric Trappier confirmed that no Rafale jets were lost in combat during Op Sindoor, but one encountered technical failure at a high altitude read more (File) Indian Air Force's Rafale fighter jets fly past during an air show at Yelahanka air base in Bengaluru in February 2021. Reuters Dassault Aviation Chairman and CEO Éric Trappier has rejected reports that India lost Rafale fighter jets during a recent military standoff with Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. French website Avion De Chasse quoted Trappier as saying that while one Rafale jet was lost due to a high-altitude technical failure, no jets were lost during enemy engagement. The executive admitted that an incident involving one jet occurred 'at an altitude of over 12,000 metres during an extended training mission, with no enemy involvement or hostile radar contact'. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Additionally, Indian Defence Secretary RK Singh on Monday (July 7) confirmed to Network 18 that it was incorrect to say that India lost Rafale fighter jets during the four-day conflict. When asked about Indian losses during the combat, Singh responded: 'You have used the term Rafales in the plural, I can assure you that is absolutely not correct. Pakistan suffered losses many times over India in both human and material terms and more than 100 terrorists." He also clarified that Indian forces had full operational freedom in conflict. 'No political constraints on our armed forces and they have full operational freedom in conflict,' he said. The first official acknowledgement of Indian Air Force (IAF) losses had come last month from India's Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan. While speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, he admitted losses but strongly rejected Pakistan's claim of downing six Indian jets, including Rafales, calling the assertion 'absolutely incorrect'. Separately, India's Defence Attaché to Indonesia, Navy Captain Shiv Kumar, acknowledged 'some' losses during Operation Sindoor. During a seminar in Indonesia, he addressed a prior speaker's reference to Pakistan's claim that multiple Indian fighters, including three Rafales, were shot down. 'I may not agree with him that India lost so many aircraft. But I do agree that we did lose some aircraft, and that happened only because of the constraint given by the political leadership to not attack the military establishments and their air defences,' Capt. Kumar said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD French intelligence officials suspect China played a significant role in stoking doubts about the Rafale's combat performance after Operation Sindoor. According to a report by the Associated Press on Sunday, classified intelligence indicates that Chinese defence attachés have been lobbying foreign governments, notably Indonesia, to reconsider buying more Rafales and switch to Chinese-made fighter aircraft.

WBSSC scam: Job losing staff's protest march to state secretariat today
A section of the non-teaching staff in Group-C and Group-D categories in state-run schools of West Bengal, who have lost their jobs following a Supreme Court order in April this year, will be conducting a "march to the state secretariat" on Tuesday afternoon. This section of the non-teaching staff, united under the banner of "Group-C & Group-D Adhikar Mancha (Group-C & Group-D Rights Forum)", will conduct a rally to press a four-point demand from the state government in resolving the ongoing impasse. The forum has calculated that of the total non-teaching jobs cancelled following the Supreme Court order in April this year, a total of 3,395 were "untainted" and hence should be reinstated, while the jobs of the identified "tainted" ones should be terminated immediately. Their second demand is the immediate publication of certified copies of the "untainted" non-teaching staff by the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC). Their third demand is the immediate publication of all the optical mark recognition (OMR) recognition sheets used in the written examination for recruitment, so that it becomes clear who was "tainted". The fourth and final demand is that the state government should work out some alternatives for the time being but only for the "untainted" ones and excluding the "tainted" ones. The untainted staff will start assembling in front of Howrah Maidan Metro station in Kolkata-adjacent Howrah district from 11.30 a.m. on Tuesday onwards and thereafter march toward the state secretariat, Nabanna located at Mandirtala, also in Howrah district. Initially, they decided to conduct the rally on July 3. However, being denied police permission to conduct the rally on that day, they finalised Tuesday as the date for the protest programme. "We had several rounds of meetings with WBSSC on the matter. However, the latter was unable to come out with any specific solution. So ultimately we were forced to give this protest call," said a representative for the forum. Meanwhile, security arrangements in and around Nabanna have been tightened over this protest march. A three-tier security system has already been raised around the state secretariat. All the roads connecting to Nabanna have been blocked with barricades.
