30 killed in Pakistani military operation
Shafaq News - Islamabad Pakistan's military reported on Friday that 30 militants were killed during a three-day operation in North Waziristan aimed at preventing infiltration from Afghanistan. The Pakistani army described the response as a demonstration of 'exceptional vigilance and preparedness,' confirming the recovery of weapons, explosives, and ammunition. Authorities identified the assailants as members of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and affiliated groups, and accused India's intelligence agency, RAW, of backing them. While Islamabad has long blamed Kabul for hosting armed factions, it has recently increased claims that New Delhi is also involved in supporting cross-border violence. Both Afghanistan and India have denied the allegations.

‘Who created the Taliban': Shashi Tharoor hits back at Pakistani delegation
'This (Pakistan) delegation is going around saying we are also victims of terrorism; we have lost more lives to terrorism than India has. We turn around and say- Whose fault is that? As Hillary Clinton famously said 10 years ago. You can't breed vipers in your backyard and expect them to bite only your neighbours…That's why they (Pakistan) are now getting terrorists attacked by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, but who created the Taliban from which the Tehrik-i-Taliban broke off? We all know the answer to that, so let Pakistan look inside it and let it do some serious interior reflection before it goes around pleading innocence and deniability and everything else.' Washington DC: Even as Pakistan's delegation, seeking to put its point across after India's action against terror during Op Sindoor, arrived in Washington Wednesday, India's outreach delegation, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticised Pakistan's outreach effort. 'Bhutto has been calling his delegation a peace delegation, and it is quite ironic that the Pakistani delegation is speaking the language of peace. It's like the Devil quoting from the scriptures. For a country that is trying to create fake heroes by promoting failed generals to field marshal, they don't know what true leaders look like. Pakistan has been surviving on cheap Chinese imports, including military hardware, which spectacularly failed on the battlefield. So perhaps it is hard for them to digest high-quality, high-calibre military hardware as well as strong democratic leadership on the other side of the border,' Surya said. Earlier, under pressure Bilawal Bhutto made an impassioned call for peace at the UN Headquarters in New York and even called for joint intelligence sharing on terrorism. A theory completely rejected by the Indian side. 'I think the US has understood for some time now that India has a very clear position that there will be no talks with a gun pointed at our head… The problem is that we will not deal with people who are pointing a gun at our heads. I mean frankly, if your neighbour unleashes his Rottweilers* to bite your children and in fact to do worse to your children, and then says, let's talk. You think he's going to talk to him until he either unleashes those Rottweilers* or locks them up in a kennel or puts them to sleep. It's as simple as that. You're not going to talk to people who are pointing guns at your temples. It's not going to happen,' said Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. 'India does not seek war. We have never sought war in our civilisation's history… But that doesn't mean that we will remain passive in the face of Adharma. If there is cessation of aggression, you will have peace, but if you attack us not once, but we are ready to do 100 Operation Sindoor,' said BJP MP Tejasvi Surya. India already has the upper hand as the two delegations come face to face in the US. On Wednesday, House Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast endorsed India's action against terror. 'The world was holding its breath, watching what had taken place, both in disgust and also in anticipation of the response. When you are attacked, you have no choice but to respond. The world does not allow anything else, and those responses needed to take place. We have a great friendship and partnership between our nations, and we see nothing but growth and expansion in the future,' he said. Pakistan is clearly on the back foot as India presents a strong case for itself. A sign of that came on Wednesday when Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif again urged US President Trump to facilitate talks with India. India's stance is clear: if there are to be talks, they will only be on terrorism emanating from Pakistan and Pakistan's illegal occupation of part of Jammu and Kashmir.

"Can't Breed Vipers...": Shashi Tharoor Slams Pakistan's US Outreach
Washington: Even as Pakistan's delegation, seeking to put its point across after India's action against terror during Op Sindoor, arrived in Washington on Wednesday, India's outreach delegation, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor decimated Pakistan's copycat outreach effort. "This (Pakistan) delegation is going around saying we are also victims of terrorism; we have lost more lives to terrorism than India has. We turn around and say- Whose fault is that?

Shehbaz Sharif Seeks Trump's Facilitation As Tharoor-led Delegation Exposes Pakistan In US
Last Updated: Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif praised Trump for his role in helping de-escalate the situation with India and urged Washington to facilitate a dialogue between the two nations. Amid Indian delegations' global outreach against terrorism, Pakistan is making an all-out effort to seek the help of US President Donald Trump to try and achieve peace with India. Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised Trump for his role in helping de-escalate the situation with India and urged Washington to facilitate a comprehensive dialogue between the two nuclear neighbours. Addressing an event at the US Embassy in Islamabad, the Pakistan PM echoed former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who stated that Trump 'deserves credit" for helping facilitate the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan. 'On 10 different occasions, he has taken credit for facilitating the ceasefire between India and Pakistan — and rightly so. He deserves that credit because it was his efforts that helped make the ceasefire possible. So, if the US is willing to help Pakistan in maintaining this ceasefire, it is reasonable to expect that an American role in arranging a comprehensive dialogue would also be beneficial for us," Bhutto said. Meanwhile, India publicly denied role of US President Trump in achieving the ceasefire agreement with Pakistan. New Delhi has consistently rejected third-party mediation on bilateral issues. 'I think the US has understood for some time now that India has a very clear position that there will be no talks with a gun pointed at our head… The problem is that we will not deal with people who are pointing a gun at our heads. I mean frankly, if your neighbour unleashes his Rottweilers* to bite your children and in fact to do worse to your children, and then says, let's talk," said Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is leading the all-party delegation to the United States. 'You think he's going to talk to him until he either unleashes those Rottweilers* or locks them up in a kennel or puts them to sleep. It's as simple as that. You're not going to talk to people who are pointing guns at your temples. It's not going to happen," he added. The Indian delegation also slammed the Pakistani side for claiming that it was as much a victim of terrorism as India was. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, 'This (Pakistan) delegation is going around saying we are also victims of terrorism, we have lost more lives to terrorism than India has. We turn around and say- Whose fault is that? As Hillary Clinton famously said 10 years ago. You can't breed vipers in your backyard and expect them to bite only your neighbours…That's why they (Pakistan) are now getting terrorists attacked by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, but who created the Taliban from which the Tehrik-i-Taliban broke off? We all know the answer to that, so let Pakistan look inside it and let it do some serious interior reflection before it goes around pleading innocence and deniability and everything else."
