In this special episode of ThePrint WorldView, Dr. Swasti Rao, foreign policy expert and consulting editor, is joined by Kabir Taneja, Deputy Director of Strategic Studies and Fellow for the Middle East at the Observer Research Foundation. The conversation delves into the strategic and ideological forces behind the Pahalgam terror attack, examining how groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Al-Qaeda, ISKP, Hamas, and the Taliban continue to influence the region. Kabira Taneja unpacks the complex web of transnational networks, their evolving tactics, and their reliance on modern funding channels like crypto. The episode critically assesses India's counter-terror response, especially in light of Operation Sindoor, and highlights the limitations of diplomatic tools like dossier diplomacy. It also questions the effectiveness of international frameworks such as RATS under the SCO, suggesting that India's approach may need to move beyond multilateral rhetoric toward more assertive, sustained strategic measures. #pahalgam #indiapakistan #indpak #indopak #pakistan #indianarmy #modi
pWotD Episode 2930: 2025 India–Pakistan standoff Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 207,232 views on Saturday, 10 May 2025 our article of the day is 2025 India–Pakistan standoff.On 23 April 2025, a standoff emerged between India and Pakistan, which was sparked by the 2025 Pahalgam attack, a terrorist attack in the Baisaran Valley of Jammu and Kashmir, killing 27 people, including 25 Hindu tourists, a Christian tourist, and a local Muslim, as well as injuring more than 20 others. The Resistance Front (TRF) initially claimed responsibility for the attack. Armed skirmishes between India and Pakistan were reported along the Line of Control (LoC) beginning on 24 April, raising fears of further escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. A ceasefire was announced on 10 May 2025 from 16:30 PKT/17:00 IST following an agreement between India and Pakistan. However, Pakistan violated the ceasefire.The standoffs were followed by a diplomatic crisis which emerged between the two countries, as India accused Pakistan of sponsoring the attack. India initiated the expulsion of Pakistani diplomats, recalled its own diplomatic staff, suspended visa services, closed its borders, and announced its withdrawal from the Indus Waters Treaty, while Pakistan quickly denied any involvement and instead urged for an international inquiry, which Delhi promptly rejected. Pakistan initially responded with trade restrictions, closure of airspace and border crossings, and suspension of the Shimla Agreement. India's Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) also strongly urged Indian citizens to avoid travelling to Pakistan, and called on those currently in the country to return at the earliest opportunity.Between 24 April and 6 May, Pakistan and India engaged in skirmishes including cross-border firing and intermittent artillery shelling. On 7 May 2025, India launched missile strikes on Pakistan, codenamed Operation Sindoor. According to India, the missile strikes targeted the militant groups Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. According to Pakistan, the Indian strikes targeted civilian areas, including mosques, killing 31 Pakistani civilians. In return, Pakistan said they had downed a number of Indian jets and damaged Indian infrastructure. There are a number of misinformation campaigns across both the countries' media outlets following the strike.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 09:42 UTC on Sunday, 11 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2025 India–Pakistan standoff on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.
In the early hours of Wednesday, May 7—well past midnight—India launched a precise, 23-minute military operation targeting nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. These locations were reportedly strongholds of two of the world’s most notorious terror groups: Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Indian Rafale jets deployed SCALP and HAMMER missiles in the strikes, in what appeared to be a retaliatory act not only against the recent Pahalgam attack, but against a long history of terror incidents—Red Fort, Parliament, Mumbai train blasts, Pathankot, Uri, Pulwama—stretching back to the Kargil conflict. According to Indian government sources, over 100 militants were killed in the strikes. Pakistan launched a retaliatory attack using drones and missiles, reportedly aimed at as many as 15 cities across northern India. The Indian government stated that all incoming threats were intercepted, primarily using its S-400 air defence systems. India then escalated further, crossing deeper into Pakistani territory than ever before. It neutralized an air defence radar installation in Lahore and conducted operations in sites at Sialkot and even near Islamabad. This marks a significant shift in India’s military posture—from punitive strikes to potentially pre-emptive warfare. As the lines blur between militants, soldiers, and civilians, critical questions emerge: Is this the new normal in India’s security doctrine? How long can Pakistan withstand a prolonged conflict, economically and militarily? Will China’s support to Pakistan—currently limited to weapons supply—expand into something more direct? And, crucially, what diplomatic or military paths remain open for de-escalation before the region tips into broader instability?

Lashkar offshoot The Resistance Front claimed the Pahalgam attack in an online post before withdrawing the claim while attributing its initial post to a 'cyber attack'.
In the early hours of Wednesday, in what is being described as the most expansive attack on terror originating from Pakistan, Indian armed forces targeted and destroyed nine terror sites across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. These included the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.Today on the show, we're first joined by The Indian Express' Diplomatic Affairs Editor, Shubhajit Roy, who explains the details of the operation and unpacks the strategic messaging from India regarding it.Next, The Indian Express' Arun Sharma shares his ground report on the cross-border shelling by Pakistan in response to the operation, which left nine dead and 40 injured. (14:07)And finally, The Indian Express' Deeptiman Tiwary explains why civil defence drills, such as air sirens, blackouts, and the revival of bunkers, are making a comeback, and what they suggest about India's current threat preparedness.

pWotD Episode 2927: 2025 India–Pakistan strikes Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 278,690 views on Wednesday, 7 May 2025 our article of the day is 2025 India–Pakistan strikes.On 7 May 2025, India conducted missile strikes on Pakistan and in Pakistan-administrated Jammu and Kashmir, codenamed Operation Sindoor. India said it targeted terrorist infrastructure of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed and that no Pakistani military facilities have been targeted, while Pakistan said India targeted civilian areas (including mosques) and claimed that Indian strikes killed 26 Pakistani civilians, including children, and injured more than 46 people. Pakistan stated that it had retaliated against the Indian strikes, claiming to have downed a number of Indian jets and inflicting damage on Indian infrastructure. India said Pakistani cross-border artillery fire killed multiple civilians, including children.India said that it had targeted terrorist camps across nine locations including Bahawalpur, which is the hub of the Maulana Masood Azhar led Jaish-e-Mohammed, a U. N. designated terrorist organization, Subhan Allah camp, an alleged hub of Pakistan-based jihadist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Muridke near Lahore, a hub of the Hafiz Saeed-led Lashkar-e-Taiba, another U. N. designated terror group. Masood Azhar said that 10 members of his family, including 5 children, were killed in India's airstrikes on the group's headquarters at the Jamia Masjid Subhan Allah in Bahawalpur.The Indian strikes were in response to the 22 April terror attack by militants in Indian Kashmir killing 28 civilians, mostly Hindu tourists. The attack on tourists triggered the 2025 India–Pakistan standoff, which is part of the broader Kashmir conflict. India accused Pakistan of supporting the militants, which Pakistan denied.According to the Indian media and government officials, there has been an ongoing misinformation campaign after the Indian strikes by pro-Pakistani social media handles, including claims of targeting the Indian airbase at Srinagar, destroying Indian Brigade Headquarters and downing Indian jets which India denies.Similarly, DAWN also reported misinformation from pro-India social media handles, with Indian accounts claiming conflict pictures from Gaza and Lebanon to be from Indian strikes on the Pakistani border city of Sialkot.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:33 UTC on Thursday, 8 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2025 India–Pakistan strikes on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Aria.
1. Operation Sindoor: India Strikes Back In a dramatic pre-dawn move on May 8, India launched Operation Sindoor, striking nine terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including key Lashkar and Jaish hubs in Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad. The operation was a direct response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians on April 22. Executed using fighter jets, loitering munitions, cruise missiles, and tri-service precision, the strikes were conducted entirely from Indian airspace and targeted only terrorist infrastructure. India described the operation as “focused, measured, and non-escalatory,” avoiding Pakistani military installations while showcasing significant firepower and coordination across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. 2. Pakistan Responds: “This Won't Go Unanswered” Reacting to the strikes, Pakistan's military issued a stern warning. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated, “India's temporary pleasure will be replaced by enduring grief,” vowing retaliation at a time and place of its choosing. Pakistan confirmed strikes in three locations and mobilized its air force, while closing its airspace for 48 hours. Tensions along the Line of Control have since intensified, with reports of heavy artillery exchanges. 3. IAF Combat Drills & Civil Defence Readiness Parallel to Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force began a major combat readiness exercise across the western sector, involving fighter jets, drones, helicopters, AWACS, and refuellers in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, and UP. Though termed “routine,” the timing—post-Pahalgam—adds strategic weight. Simultaneously, India conducted nationwide civil defence drills across 244 districts, the largest since 1971. These drills tested air raid sirens, evacuation plans, blackout protocols, and communications, sending a clear message: India is prepared for all scenarios. ⸻ 4. India, UK Seal Historic Free Trade Deal In a major diplomatic win, India and the UK signed a long-awaited Free Trade Agreement after three years of negotiations. The deal unlocks a $45 billion trade corridor, addresses visa access for Indian professionals, and introduces the Double Contribution Convention to ease social security obligations for cross-border workers. While hailed as a boost for textiles, automotive, and seafood exports, concerns remain over the UK's upcoming carbon tax that could hurt Indian steel and cement exports. Still, the FTA is expected to double bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2030, marking a new chapter in India's global trade diplomacy. 5. SEBI Exposes IPO Scam at Synoptics In a first-of-its-kind action, SEBI has cracked down on Synoptics Technologies and its merchant banker, First Overseas Capital Ltd, for misusing over ₹19 crore from IPO proceeds. The money was diverted to shell entities a day before listing, with ₹2 crore used to buy Synoptics shares and artificially inflate demand. SEBI called the misuse “shocking and stunning,” banned FOCL from handling any new IPOs, and barred Synoptics' promoters from the market. A deeper probe has been launched into 20 other IPOs managed by FOCL. The message is clear: tampering with public money won't go unpunished. 6. India to Overtake Japan as 4th Largest Economy According to the IMF's April 2025 Outlook, India is projected to surpass Japan in 2025 with a GDP of $4.187 trillion, becoming the world's fourth-largest economy. This rise reflects India's resilience, reforms, and growing domestic demand—even as growth cools to 6.2% in FY25. Challenges persist: trade tensions, including recent US tariffs, and slowing momentum may test the climb. But India's long-term trajectory remains upward, with Germany next in its sights.
The ongoing standoff between India and Pakistan triggered by the Pahalgam terror attack is unlike any in the past. This time, ‘non-state actors' like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba are on the same page ideologically as Pakistan's Islamist Army Chief Asim Munir. In Episode 1654 of #CutTheClutter Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at how both countries resolved past standoffs, why the 2001 Parliament attack marked a turning point, and what makes the post Pahalgam standoff more serious.
Exactly a month into his new term, President Donald Trump's latest major pick, Kash Patel, has been appointed as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation after a grueling confirmation in the US Senate. Tulsi Gabbard had earlier been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. Both these are positive from India's point of view: they signal that the sinister Deep State may well be reined in, after decades of anti-India activism on its part.Over the last week or two, there have been revelations after revelations of bad faith on the part of the disgraced US establishment, most notably in the shadowy USAID agency, which, it appears, was the absolute “Heart of Darkness” of the Deep State, neck-deep in covert operations, election interference, and general mayhem all over the world, and certainly in India.Trump himself emphasized that $21 million in covert funds had gone towards affecting election outcomes in India. Presumably the reduced majority Modi got in 2024 could be traced back to this. Fortress AmericaThe general contours of Trump's foreign policy are beginning to emerge. I predicted a month ago, before Trump had taken over, in ‘Greenland, Canada, Panama: Chronicles of a Foreign Policy Foretold', that Western Europe, and the United Kingdom in particular, would find themselves treated as irrelevant to the new order to come. That has happened.In fact, things have gone beyond what I anticipated. In a nutshell, Trump is downgrading the Atlantic, and his focus will be on the Americas, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific. Which, from a historical perspective, makes sense: the world's economic center of gravity is moving towards Asia; trade flows in the Pacific and the Indian Oceans are increasingly more important than in the Atlantic; and a few centuries of European domination are pretty much over.Sorry Europe, Atlanticism is at an endTo put it bluntly, the vanity that Europe is a ‘continent' is now being exposed as hollow: to be precise, it is merely an appendage, an outpost, to vast Asia. Europe is at best a subcontinent, like India is; it should probably be renamed as ‘Northwest Asia'. The saga of ‘Guns, Germs and Steel' post the Industrial Revolution is winding down rapidly. There is some schadenfreude in that the UK becomes even more irrelevant: just a small, rainy island off NW Asia.The Putin-Trump dialog suggests that Ukraine, and even NATO, are now superfluous. Atlanticism has been a constant in US foreign policy, mostly pushed by two forces:* Eastern European-origin State Department officials who have inherited a blood-feud with Russia from their ancestors, eg. Brzezinski, Albright, Nuland, Blinken, Vindman* an ancient intra-Christian schism between the Eastern Orthodox Church and (for a change) an alliance of Roman Catholics and Western Protestants like Lutherans, Anglicans and Calvinists.It is time that the Americans realized they've been turned into cats'-paws by these forces, and turned their backs on these ancient animosities, which have almost no relevance today. In fact one could argue that a NATO-Russian alliance is the right solution in the medium term, because otherwise both could become puppets of China. Bringing the Ukraine war to an end is a start.The general tone of the Trump White House implies a Fortress America. In practice, this seems to mean that instead of being Globocop, the US focuses on a) the Americas, North and South, b) the Pacific Ocean, d) the Indian Ocean, in that order.A new Monroe Doctrine in the AmericasThe attention being paid to Canada and Mexico over and above the tariffs issues suggests that there is a plan to create a stronger and more unified North American entity; the noises about “Canada the 51st state” and “Gulf of America” suggest that maybe a new NAFTA-style agreement could be inked, especially now that the warming Arctic Ocean makes the thawing tundra of Canada more appealing.It is true that there is no immediate thrust for a Monroe Doctrine-style exclusive US ‘sphere of influence' in South America, but I suspect it is coming. Already, there have been positive vibes between Trump and Argentina's Milei, and Salvador's Bukele: the former for his DOGE-style chainsaw-wielding that's showing results, and the latter for his strong law enforcement.The Island Chains and other red lines in the PacificIn the Pacific, there has been pushback against China's moves on the Panama Canal: there are two Hong-Kong-based entities (read proxies of the Chinese government) controlling ports around it: Balboa on the Pacific side, and Cristobal on the Atlantic side.On the other hand, there is increasing global support (with the judicious use of Chinese carrots such as BRI) for the annexation of Taiwan by China, including, if necessary, by force. A Lowy Institute study (“Five One Chinas: The Contest to Define Taiwan”) suggests that some 119 UN member states accept the official Chinese position on ‘reunification'. Only 40 countries are not on board with China's claim of sovereignty over Taiwan.It is very likely that there will be a showdown between the US and China over Taiwan, within the next two years. It is said that Xi Jinping has given a timeframe of 2027 for all this. It will be interesting to see how many states that condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine will condemn China's future attack on Taiwan. Chances are that many will be strategically silent.Japan, Australia, South Korea and other friends of the US will have a hard time keeping the peace in the Pacific. The “Three Island Chains” act as increasingly critical red lines to contain an aggressive China. In fact, the Asia Maritime Initiative is speaking of five island chains (“China's Reach Has Grown, So Should the Island Chains”), including those in the Indian Ocean (remember the “String of Pearls” intended to tighten around India's throat).The three island chains: 1. Taiwan, Japan, Philippines; 2. Guam, Marianas; 3. Hawaii(Source: China is making waves in the Pacific, Alexandra Tirziu, Jan 2024 https://www.gisreportsonline.com/r/china-pacific-conflict/)Meanwhile, in a show of aggression far from its shores, three Chinese warships indulged in “live firing” in international waters between Australia and New Zealand, and commercial aircraft were warned to keep away. This is a warning to Australia, which, thanks to AUKUS foolishness, cancelled French submarines and now await British submarines… in the 2040s.The increasing relevance of the Indian Ocean and the Middle EastMuch of the world's trade, including 75% of global maritime trade and 50% of its daily oil shipments, go through the Indian Ocean.The main issues will be the control of the Straits of Malacca and Hormuz, and the alternative routes being explored by China via the Isthmus of Kra in Thailand, possible use of Coco Islands and other Myanmarese ports including Sittwe and (a bit of a stretch for China) access to Chittagong. There are also troublesome pirates, including Houthis, that make for perilous journeys leading to the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Aden, and the Red Sea.Interestingly, the US is making moves in the Indian Ocean that will support both the IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor) and I2U2, the India-Israel-UAE-US economic partnership. IMEC is the old Spice Route, revivified.There is also the proposed Ben-Gurion Canal through the Negev Desert in Israel that would benefit Saudi Arabia as well (its futuristic NEOM city is nearby), and this would be made feasible by Trump's proposed transformation of Gaza. It would be an alternative to Suez.Following up on the Abraham Accords, Trump 2.0 would like to bring the Gaza war to an end, and create an environment in the Middle East where Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE et al will form a counter and a buffer to the machinations of Iran and Turkey.The Indo-US joint communique is a statement of intentIt is in this global context that we need to analyze the joint communique between the US and India after the Trump-Modi summit. Both nations will be attempting to advance their own strategic doctrines. The US would like India to become a non-treaty ally. India would like to keep its multi-alignment policy going, along with Atmanirbharatha. These may make any bilateral progress a little rough but some give and take will work.There are a few specific areas of interest:* Defense* There is an effort by the US to wean India away from its dependency on Russia for weapons. The most evident carrot here is the F-35 advanced fighter jet, which has now been offered to India for the first time, along with other conventional weapons such as Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stryker infantry combat vehicles, as well as the P8i Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and various drones* The P8i is already in service in India, and it would help keep an eye on the southern Bay of Bengal with its proximity to China's submarine pen on Hainan Island* The F-35 raises some questions. In the Bangalore Air Show it was pitted against the Russian Su-57, which is a lot less expensive. Also, the F-35 needs extraordinary levels of maintenance for its ‘stealth' coating. Finally, should India invest in building its own AMCA 5th-generation fighter jet rather than buying?* Even though there will be co-production agreements, the US is a whimsical supplier (remember Tarapur), and there will be little transfer of technology, so military procurement and cooperation must be carefully thought through by India* Trade and Investment* The goal is to reach $500 billion in bilateral trade by 2030, which would involve a doubling from current levels ($200 billion in 2023). Besides, the Trump doctrine of reciprocal tariffs and zero trade imbalance may make some of this difficult* Indian firms are planning to invest $7.35 billion in the US* Energy* India will now get access to US civil nuclear technology, but there's a small twist: the clauses invoking civil liability for nuclear damage will be deleted. This is reminiscent of Pfizer's covid-era contract with developing countries: Pfizer was assured of indemnity (with the local governments being liable) in case of injury or death caused by its vaccine. This sounds like a bad idea* India will increase its purchases of US oil and natural gas. This is a win-win: it will increase US imports to India, thus reducing the trade deficit, and India will be assured of additional supplies* Technology and Innovation* A whole raft of actions have been proposed, including a tie-up between the US National Science Foundation and the Anusandhan National Research Foundation in India, a program called TRUST, another called INDUS innovation, and one in the area of space collaboration, titled NISAR* Multilateral Cooperation* The Quad, IMEC and I2U2 figured in communique, but also something called the Indian Ocean Strategic Venture. I note this nomenclature progress with approval: there used to be the Asia-Pacific, then it was the Indo-Pacific, and now the Indian Ocean is being singled out* In the area of counter-terrorism, the communique explicitly named Pakistani entities such as Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Toiba, among others. This is a welcome change from the shadow-boxing indulged in by the Biden administration and others, whereby Pakistani terrorists were treated as ‘assets'* The extradition of Tahawwur Rana, a Pakistani-Canadian now in a Los Angeles jail, to India for investigation into his role supporting David Headley, in the 26/11/2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, is a welcome sign, after the curious Biden exertions in the Pannun case* People to people links* Indian parents are spending $8 billion a year to support 300,000 Indian students in the US. This amounts to a sort of ‘foreign aid', and also incidentally supplies a lot of especially STEM graduates to the US economy* Facilitating visas, which have become frustratingly difficult for Indian business and leisure travelers to the US. Last year, the wait for just a visa interview was 452 days in Chennai (as compared to 15 days in Beijing), which probably was the result ot the Biden State Department ‘punishing' India for refusing to toe their Ukraine sanctions line* The legal movement of students and professionals between the two countries is to be eased.Overall, this is a statement of intent: both Modi and Trump are laying their cards on the table, and they will both (as they should) bargain hard to benefit their own nations. But India is no longer being treated as a pariah as it was since the Pokhran blasts, the denial of cryogenic rocket engines (via, yes, the Biden Amendment), and so on.As Trump moves towards the inevitable multipolar world, he does not wish to leave Asia to eager hegemon China; as he wishes to move the US out of military entanglements in far-off places (for which he expects Europe and others to bear the burden of their own defense), it is natural for him to want India to punch its weight in Asia.A mutually beneficial relationship free of the supercilious lectures by previous Democratic administrations (eg Daleep Singh on Ukraine sanctions, and he was, ironically enough, the great-grand-nephew of Dalip Singh Saund) would be welcome from the Indian point of view. Having a counterweight to China, and a G3 instead of a G2, would likewise be useful from the US point of view. Thus, there are glimpses of a possible win-win situation.2222 words, 22-02-2025 This is a public episode.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 29th of October and here are the headlinesPrime Minister Narendra Modi launched health cards under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana to provide health coverage for individuals aged 70 and older, irrespective of their income or economic status. The Ayushman Vaya Vandana card initiates this expanded scheme, aimed at transforming public healthcare access for India's rapidly growing elderly population. Each eligible individual will receive an annual coverage of Rs 5 lakh, which can be shared within families. For households with two elderly beneficiaries, the coverage will be split, ensuring that essential healthcare becomes more accessible to senior citizens.All three militants who attacked an Army ambulance in Jammu's Khour town were killed by security forces after a 24-hour operation. The White Knight Corps reported, "After round-the-clock surveillance, an intense firefight this morning resulted in a significant victory for our forces." They praised the relentless operations and tactical excellence that led to the militants' elimination. While the identities of the slain militants have not been confirmed, security forces believe they were affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammad.Mumbai MLA Zeeshan Siddique and actor Salman Khan received new threats from a 20-year-old man in Noida, who aimed to extort money from them. The accused, identified as Gurphan Khan, was arrested by the police after sending a threatening message to Siddique's public complaint mobile number. The Nirmal Nagar police in Bandra (East) registered an extortion case on Monday. The Crime Branch took action, apprehending Khan for allegedly sending the threats, which included death threats to both Siddique and Salman Khan, on October 25.For the Maharashtra assembly polls, the NCP-SP announced five candidates on Tuesday, making a notable change for the Mohol assembly seat by selecting Raju Khare in place of Siddhi Kadam, daughter of former MLA Ramesh Kadam. Anil Sawant will contest from Pandharpur, where the Congress has nominated Bhagirath Bhalke. In Solapur, Abhijit Patil will represent Madha, while Girish Karale will run for Morshi. Sangita Waje is set to contest from Mulund in Mumbai.An Israeli strike on a five-story building in northern Gaza, where displaced Palestinians were sheltering, killed at least 60 people early today, including many women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Separately, Lebanon's militant group Hezbollah announced Sheikh Naim Kassem as the successor to the late leader Hassan Nasrallah, who died in an Israeli airstrike last month. Hezbollah pledged to uphold Nasrallah's policies “until victory is achieved.”This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

In this episode we speak to Brigadier Jaish Mahan, who commissioned into the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) in 1994 and has served in roles spanning the medical profession. He has deployed on seven operational tours, including Kosovo, Sierra Leone, the Iraq war and Afghanistan three times. Brigadier Mahan has been an Army Reservist since his transition from the Regular Army in 2016, and was Deputy Commander (Reserves) 7th Light Mechanised Brigade Combat Team, before taking up his current position as Deputy Commander (Reserves) 1st UK Division. Drawing from his experiences, Brigadier Mahan emphasised the importance of consistent and stable values and highlighted integrity as the pre-eminent one, due to the importance of creating trust between leaders and their teams. He also comments on how a leadership intervention can be pivotal in altering the dynamic of a team and the situation, and how establishing relationships with teams wider than your own, early on, can increase support later. He acknowledges the power of facilitating cognitive diversity in teams, allowing individuals and teams to find their own way using empowered delegation - a concept that the British Army recognises as Mission Command.
Le conflit en Israël, depuis les attaques terroristes du Hamas le 7 octobre 2023 et la riposte menée par Tel Aviv à Gaza, n'a de cesse de voir se multiplier les points de tension dans toute la région. Les frontières de l'épicentre sont dépassées depuis longtemps. En Irak et en Syrie, les milices chiites pro-iraniennes multiplient les tirs contre des cibles américaines. En mer Rouge, les houthistes yéménites proches de l'Iran envoient leurs missiles contre les navires étrangers. L'armée israélienne et le Hezbollah, bras armé de l'Iran au Liban, s'affrontent sans cesse dans la zone frontalière. Un climat de tension qui se généralise et dont a su profiter l'Organisation État Islamique qui a revendiqué l'attentat meurtrier à Kerman en Iran, le 3 janvier. Sans compter les assassinats ciblés : celui du général iranien Reza Mouzavi tué à Damas dans une frappe attribuée à Israël. L'État hébreu qui est également accusé d'être derrière l'élimination de haut gradés du Hamas ou du Hezbollah libanais.Alors que le Pentagone avait entamé une phase de désengagement militaire dans la région, il est contraint de redéployer des forces armées. Depuis octobre 2023, plus de 15 000 marins américains sont mobilisés dans la Méditerranée et dans le Golfe Persique afin de constituer une bulle de protection autour de l'État hébreu. Les Américains pourront-ils tenir cette posture indéfiniment alors qu'ils sont la cible des mouvements de l'axe de « la résistance » affiliés à Téhéran ? Téhéran qui entend bien surfer sur la guerre pour se renforcer au Moyen-Orient. L'Iran a, cette semaine, élargi son spectre des représailles à l'attentat qui l'a frappé début janvier 2024 en attaquant au Pakistan le quartier général du groupe jihadiste iranien Jaish al-Adi (armée de la justice en arabe).

Na terça-feira, o Irão usou drones e mísseis para alvejar posições do Jaish al-Adl, um grupo sunita composto por baloches envolvido em ataques dentro do Irão. O Paquistão retaliou, disparando mísseis contra a província iraniana de Sistão e Balochistão. No Guerra Fria desta semana, Nuno Rogeiro e José Milhazes analisam estes desenvolvimentos: "O Irão quer ser uma potência regional e tudo gira em torno desta ideia", diz RogeiroSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Iran launched a missile attack apparently targeting militant bases in western Pakistan which killed two children, Pakistani officials said.Officials in Islamabad said the attack was "illegal" and warned of "serious consequences". However Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, speaking in Davos, insisted that no Pakistani nationals had been targeted, only members of Jaish al-Adl. We'll hear from Islamabad.Also in the programme: China's birth rate hits a record low, with young people not heeding official encouragement to start families; the deal to send medicine into Gaza for Israeli hostages; and the struggle to re-make public media in Poland.(Photo shows an Iranian missile during a training drill.

AS NOTICIAS | Rusia exige la desnuclearización de Ucrania, Irán ataca Pakistán y la OTAN se preparaRusia requiere que Ucrania se desarme nuclearmente como condición esencial para cualquier posible acuerdo de paz. La portavoz del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Rusia, Maria Zakharova, afirmó el martes que lograr un acuerdo de paz "integral, justo y sostenible" con Ucrania implica que Kyiv se comprometa a llevar a cabo la desnuclearización, una medida que ya fue acordada en "los primeros años de su existencia como Estado". En la década de los 90, los entonces presidentes de Rusia y Ucrania, Boris Yeltsin y Leonid Kravchuk, respectivamente, firmaron un pacto en el cual Kyiv se comprometía a eliminar el arsenal nuclear heredado de la desintegrada Unión Soviética.Irán ha llevado a cabo un ataque contra dos campamentos pertenecientes al grupo extremista suní Jaish al Adl, el cual es considerado una organización terrorista por las autoridades de Teherán. El incidente ocurrió en la provincia de Baluchistán, ubicada en el suroeste de Pakistán.Brindar asistencia a Ucrania podría potencialmente prevenir un enfrentamiento directo entre la OTAN y Rusia, evitando así la necesidad de que las fuerzas estadounidenses intervengan, según lo expresado por Kuleba. En su opinión, los costos del caos global tras una derrota de Ucrania superarían significativamente el respaldo actual del estado para enfrentar la agresión. Kuleba aseguró que Ucrania no se someterá nunca a Rusia.#noticiasdelamañana #noticias #rusia #ucrania #nuclear #iran #pakistan #otan #stoltenberg #negociostv #economia #mercados #endirecto #negocios #wallstreetSi quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy
Prosegue la guerra in Medioriente. Dopo gli attacchi in Siria e Iraq, l'Iran colpisce anche in Pakistan: Islamabad denuncia l'uccisione di due bambini e il ferimento di altri tre a causa di un attacco di droni e missili da parte delle Guardie rivoluzionarie iraniane contro il gruppo armato Jaish al-Adl nella provincia pakistana del Baluchistan.
The 2019 Balakot airstrike was a significant military operation conducted by the Indian Air Force in response to the Pulwama terrorist attack. This marked the first time since the 1971 War that Indian aircraft had conducted an airstrike on Pakistani soil.The strike targeted a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror camp in Balakot, Pakistan. The Indian Mirage-2000 fighter pilots carried out the airstrike, aiming to eliminate terrorist threats.The following day, the Pakistan Air Force retaliated with a strike in the Rajouri sector of Jammu. In the ensuing aerial battle, India claimed to have shot down a Pakistani F-16 fighter aircraft while losing a MiG-21, with its Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman captured after ejecting over Pakistani-held territory. Later, he was repatriated.The aftermath of the airstrike saw controversies, including unverified news in the newsrooms and conflicting reports. The duo, Dev Goswami and Shiv Aroor recount their experiences covering the event. They discuss the preparations for the airstrike and the controversies surrounding the strike; for one, the Indian Air Force has confirmed "hitting targets," but there is no official estimation of casualties — if any — yet, and Pakistan's response, exploring claims that they intentionally missed targets in India to avoid escalating to an all-out war.Shiv Aroor and co-author Rahul Singh have also covered the detailed account of the Balakot airstrike, including planning, execution, and aftermath in their book 'India's Most Fearless.'Listen in as we bring you the inside and unearthed details of the two tense days!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Kapil Dev Singh
In this episode, India Today TV Output's Senior Executive Editor Shiv Aroor joins host Dev Goswami to discuss a speculative yet intriguing topic – the mysterious deaths of individuals predominantly linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed or Lashkar-e-Taiba, deemed as anti-India elements, occurring in locations like Canada, the UK, and predominantly in Pakistan.The most controversial case being that of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh separatist leader and Canadian citizen. Canada PM Trudeau made a series of claims that alleged the involvement of Indian government agents in his killing.In another case, the U.S. Department of Justice has indicted a senior Indian government intelligence official for allegedly plotting the assassination of U.S. citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun on American soil.The deaths, often attributed to unidentified gunmen, have raised eyebrows and conspiracy theories, with questions such as: Does India have a covert hit squad, efficiently eliminating threats without detection?Is there a discernible pattern to the deaths, and what is the rationale behind these covert operations? What is the modus operandi of India's R&AW agency, and can we decipher the truth behind these covert missions? Amidst the murky details, the hosts explore patterns, plausible explanations, and the historical context of India's covert operations.Listen in!Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Kapil Dev Singh

It sought ultimately to establish Muslim rule over the entire Indian subcontinent. Though based in Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Taiba initially operated in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, on the Pakistan-India border, but by the first decade of the 21st century the group had expanded its reach farther into India. Jammu and Kashmir was claimed by both India, a largely Hindu country, and Pakistan, a largely Muslim country, and the dispute gave rise to many armed groups within Jammu and Kashmir. One of the largest groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir, Lashkar-e-Taiba was extremely pro-Pakistan regarding control of the region. The group opposed any concessions to India. Further, its leaders expressed the desire to establish Islamic rule throughout India. The group took part in several attacks targeting non-Muslim civilian populations in Jammu and Kashmir in an effort to create a Muslim state. Many of Lashkar-e-Taiba's members were Pakistani or Afghan. It was believed that the group had ties with Afghanistan's Taliban government and with the wealthy Saudi extremist and al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Fighters from Lashkar-e-Taiba and another militant Muslim group, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, were killed in August 1998 when U.S. cruise missiles struck bin Laden's training camps in Afghanistan, and a senior al-Qaeda official was captured in a Lashkar-e-Taiba safe house in Pakistan in March 2002. Early activities Lashkar-e-Taiba made its first incursions into Jammu and Kashmir in 1993. In the late 1990s it was alleged that Lashkar-e-Taiba received funding from agencies of the Pakistani government, an allegation the government denied. The group began operating in the Jammu region, which had large numbers of non-Muslims. Working in conjunction with Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, Lashkar-e-Taiba began a program of attacks against Hindus and Sikhs. Lashkar-e-Taiba attacks were often aimed at civilians. Beginning in 1999, Lashkar-e-Taiba conducted a series of suicide attacks against Indian security forces, often targeting seemingly secure headquarters. In such attacks, Lashkar-e-Taiba forces were outnumbered and eventually killed, though not before killing Indian troops and causing extensive damage. In 2000 Lashkar-e-Taiba had a falling out with Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, which had declared a short-lived cease-fire with India. The group lost more allies in 2001, after the September 11 attacks on the United States led to the removal of the Taliban government in Afghanistan by U.S.-led military forces. On December 13 that year, Lashkar-e-Taiba undertook a suicide attack on India's parliament complex in the capital, New Delhi, in conjunction with Jaish-e-Moham
Taliban authorities in Kabul have denied that wanted terrorist kingpin Masood Azhar of the Jaish-e-Muhammad was in Afghanistan. The denial came in the wake of a report in the Pakistani newspaper, The News, which claimed that Azhar was in Afghanistan. Masood Azhar, it may be recalled, was released by India following the hijacking of an Indian Airlines aircraft to Kandahar in 1999. He was designated an international terrorist by the United Nations in 2019. Azhar's name surfaced soon after the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has, once again, killed Pakistani soldiers and the ceasefire brokered between the TTP and the Pakistani State is coming apart. It also comes at a time when the Financial Action Task Force, or FATF, is supposed to let Pakistan off the grey list.

The scene that played out in the UN Security Council seemed eerily familiar- after India and the US brought a joint proposal to designate Rauf Asghar, deputy chief of the Jaish e Mohammad and brother of its chief Masood Azhar, as a global terrorist under UNSC resolution 1267, China placed a technical hold on the listing. In that speech, Ambassador Khamboj hit out at: - China- for blocking terrorist designations - Pakistan- for harbouring terrorists, and for glorifying their acts - Afghanistan- for the Taliban regime's support to terror groups - even the United Nations Secretariat itself, for not including Indian inputs on these groups in its latest situation report that the UNSG presented. Ruchira Khamboj speech at UNSC: “An effective functioning of the Sanctions Committees requires them to become more transparent, accountable and objective. The practice of placing holds and blocks on listing requests without giving any justification must end. It is most regrettable that genuine and evidence-based listing proposals pertaining to some of the most notorious terrorists in the world are being placed on hold. Double standards and continuing politicization have rendered the credibility of the Sanctions Regime at an all-time low.” Read more

Today on The Leaders' Brief - Hong Kong continues to be rocked by protests in 2019 after the Hong Kong government proposed a law allowing extradition to Mainland China. Thought the law has now been withdrawn, over the past year more than 10,000 protesters have been arrested on charges of rioting and unauthorized assembly. Many activists have been trying to escape arrests by hiding or illegally traveling to countries like Taiwan by boat. Recently 12 activists were intercepted while trying to escape on a ship to Taiwan and are currently being detained in mainland China. Indian security forces killed four suspected Pakistan-based Jaish e Mohammed terrorists on November 19. They were hiding in a truck during the three-hour encounter near the Ban Toll Plaza in Nagrota, on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. 11 AK-47 rifles, 3 pistols, 29 grenades, along with 7.5kg of RDX explosives had also been recovered post the encounter. The Wuzhen Summit or the 7th World Internet conference kicked off in Zheijang province in China this week. However, this year has seen a muted response with just 130 companies attending compared to the 600 in 2019. Apprehensive feelings regarding China's role in the onset of the pandemic and the global economic downturn resulted in low attendance. However the conference did see senior leaders like Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf and Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins deliver their addresses via video.

Days after the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir found an IED-laden car in south Kashmir's Pulwama district which was a part of a terrorist attack plan. Intelligence sources said that Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists are planning to conduct another Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device attack on security forces in Kashmir valley. Security forces have been put on high alert to foil any such attack by Pakistan-based terror group. On May 28, a joint team of forces recovered an improvised explosive device (IED) from a Santro car in Ayengund area of Rajpora in south Kashmir's Pulwama district. The IED was defused successfully by the bomb disposal squad and a major attack was averted. A Jammu and Kashmir Police officer had told Zee News that security forces had received inputs 4-5 days ago about the movement of the vehicle carrying IED.

In this episode Samir Kalra speaks with award-winning author Yudhijit Bhatacharjee about the rise of Jaish-e-Mohammed founder Masood Azhar, and the role of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in the Kashmir conflict.
14 February 2019 was a dark day in the history of contemporary India. A suicide bomber drove a car loaded with explosives into a convoy of over 2,500 CRPF personnel in Kashmir's Pulwama. The resulting blast….claimed 40 lives. The fury around the attack, executed by Pak-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad, would lead to cries for retaliation and revenge. The weeks following witnessed India's response - reportedly by bombing JeM terror launch pads in Balakot, and the return of the Modi govt to power in the 2019 elections, riding on the wave of nationalism set off by these events. For the families of the 40 martyrs, life would never be the same again. Compensation was promised, assurances were made, and they were told they would be taken care of. But the reality is far from this. On the anniversary of the Pulwama terror attack, we spoke to the families of these men who laid down their lives for the country. 40 men all gone…but never forgotten. Guests: Lt. Gen(Retd.)

Thursday, May 2, 2019 Guaido's bid for power appears to fizzle, and another child dies in US custody. This is TRT World’s Daily News Brief for Wednesday, May 2nd. Guaido's coup attempt appears to fizzle The power grab in Venezuela by Juan Guaido earlier this week appears to be petering out. President Nicolas Maduro appears to be firmly in control with the backing of the military. The Trump administration appears to have egg all over its face. Julian Assange sentenced to 50 weeks for jumping bail A British judge has sentenced Julian Assange to 50 weeks in jail for skipping bail in the UK. For the WikiLeakers founder, it could get worse fast. Today, he faces an unrelated hearing that could see him extradited to the US on a computer-hacking charge. Among the data WikiLeaks dumped was a video of the US military murdering two Reuters journalists in Iraq. William Barr says 'no thanks' to House questioning US Attorney General William Barr has been defending his rollout of the Mueller report on the Russian hack of the 2016 US presidential election. But even Mueller has objected to Barr's soft sell of his report that did not rule out that the president obstructed justice. Trump is reported to be happy with Barr. UN adds Masood Azhar to 'global terror' list The UN has declared Masood Azhar a global terrorist. The Security Council backed the US-sponsored move after China withdrew its opposition.

He died at a hospital in Texas after he was caught after he crossed the border. He was the third child to die in US custody since Trump ramped up his attacks on refugees and immigrants. And that’s your daily news brief from TRT World ... For more, head to TRTWorld.com.
The United Nations on Wednesday listed Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist after China lifted its hold on the proposal. "Big, small, all join together. Masood Azhar designated as a terrorist in UN Sanctions list. China had put a hold in March on a fresh proposal by the US, UK and France to impose a ban on the chief of the JeM, which claimed responsibility for the deadly Pulwama terror attack. Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday said the UN decision to declare Masood Azhar as a global terrorist is a big success for India's efforts to root out terrorism and proved that the country's voice can no longer be ignored on the global stage.

This episode of Reporters Without Orders features host Cherry Agarwal, Newslaundry's head of research Ayush Tiwari, special correspondent Prateek Goyal and independent journalist Aruna Chandrasekhar. The panel talks about the Indian airstrike in Jaba, near Balakot, Supreme Court's order to evict more than 1 million tribals and forest-dwellers, the Kisan long march in Maharashtra and more.The podcast kicks off with the panel talking about IAF's airstrike on Jaish-e-Muhammad's "biggest training camp" in Pakistan. They also talk about the Supreme Court's verdict which has the potential to impact as many as 1 million tribals and forest-dwellers. Cherry points how tribals are often criticised for occupying "illegal" land. To which, Aruna says, “The government is supposed to be a custodian of public land…the idea that they are illegal occupants or illegal encroachers is part of language that is still extremely entrenched in our bureaucracy.”The panel also discusses why Arunachal Pradesh has been on the boil and a section of the media's coverage of the ongoing agitation. Further, they discuss the Republic TV-AMU controversy and the reason why sedition is used with much ease. Talking about police's actions in the AMU case, Ayush says, “They didn't make any arrests in that sedition charge case… there are robbery, murder, rioting (charges), besides the sedition charge.”Moving on, Prateek, who was at the Kisan long march that began from Nasik's Mumbai Naka, tells the panel what he saw on the ground. The panel also discusses the implications of association of the farmers' protest with AIKS. Prateek says, “Farmers are in distress… people above the age of 70 walked 20-25 km to take part in the march.” He says whether AIKS takes advantage of that or not is a separate issue, but such protests will go a long way in highlighting the agrarian distress.#Balakot #Supreme Court #Tribals #KisanLongMarch See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ayush pointing out its digital equivalent, says: “Many of these digital outlets carried stories on what the Pakistan newspapers are saying … would that also be considered against national security?” Cherry points out that the media is not a tool for the government to set the narrative—it's there to raise questions, which doesn't make them anti-national or unpatriotic.The discussion moves to Gaurav's story on how Facebook's recently-released Ad Library Report lists "ghost advertisers"—who are Facebook and Instagram pages which often run ads for political parties without disclaimers.

CGP Director of Governance in Muslim-Majority States, Dr. Kamran Bokhari speaks with Dr. Moeed Yusuf, Associate Vice President of the Asia Center at the United States Institute of Peace, about the unprecedented escalation in the conflict between India and Pakistan. Yusuf, author of “Brokering Peace in Nuclear Environments: U.S. Crisis Management in South Asia,” notes that the ebb and flow of tensions between the two South Asian rivals is nothing new. The last true paradigm shift between India and Pakistan, Yusuf says, was with the advent of nuclear weapons. Since 1998 the two countries have continually tested each other’s limits while remaining below the nuclear threshold. Responses to recent attacks have included the use of air power. Yusuf notes that a land incursion between India and Pakistan could lead to rapid escalation because the border region is so heavily populated. For instance, he says, about 5 kilometers from the border is Lahore -- Pakistan’s second-largest city. Airstrikes are less risky, because they can target relatively isolated areas and serve as symbolic actions. The tensions between India and Pakistan have created fertile ground for terrorist organizations, Yusuf says. Groups such as Daesh, al Qaeda, Jaish-e-Mohammed or other Kashmiri militant outfits could seize this moment to build momentum even as Pakistan faces continuing pressure to move terrorists out of its territory. Pakistan has a terrible reputation globally, Yusuf says, and the only way to clear it is to deal with terrorist groups operating on Pakistani soil. In the meantime, Yusuf says it is important for India and Pakistan to stop using third parties to resolve issues and begin holding direct strategic discussions with each other. He notes that in the early 2000s, the United States helped the two countries craft a peace plan, and peace was nearly achieved when the Mumbai attacks occurred. The best way to get India and Pakistan to talk to each other directly, Yusuf says, is for a third party to facilitate direct talks and then back out of the process, leaving the traditional rivals to talk with each other.
A draft US resolution that would designate a Pakistani militant as a global terrorist threatens to be China’s, and possibly Pakistan’s showdown at the OK Corral. The draft is supported by Britain and France. The resolution, if formally tabled in the full United Nations Security Council, could force China to justify its ten-year long blocking of efforts to designate Masood Azhar, the head of Jaish-e-Mohammed, the UN designated Pakistani group believed to be responsible for last month’s suicide attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.
The practice of state sponsored terrorism is increasingly dangerous. This was seen again on the 14th of February 2019 when a terrorist group known as Jaish e Mohammed launched a car bomb attack with a suicide bomber in India which killed approximately 40 police men. The dangerous factor here is that Jaish E Mohammed is supported by the Government of Pakistan and in particular their Interservice Intelligence Agency. Both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers. The cost of a political misstep here could be catastrophic - including the deaths of millions or tens of millions, along with the spread of a larger regional conflict.

In this week's episode, we talk about the recent conflict between India and Pakistan over contested Kashmir. Both countries have been warring over Kashmir for many years but now both possess nuclear weapons. Just recently on February the Pakistan-based terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed attacked a paramilitary convoy in Pulwama in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Some experts believe that India and Pakistan both hold between 150 - 180 nuclear warheads, which would be disastrous if either decides to use them. However, with how interconnected the world is at the moment, safe to say that chances of that happening are slim. Are nuclear weapons a deterant for all our war? Or just a fiery radioactive time bomb waiting to engulf us all?
India has served Pakistan the proverbial dish of ‘badla' (revenge) – how cold it was, and how accurately aimed, are still being debated. Pakistan also took its ‘badla' by retaliating. But where do we go from here? After the savage terror attack by a suicide bomber belonging to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed on a CRPF convoy at Pulwama in Kashmir on 14 February, in which 40 jawans were martyred, the one word most heard on Indian TV channels was ‘badla' (revenge). Some eminent Indian commentators made the word more popular by evoking the proverb − “Revenge is a dish best served cold”. The message to Pakistan was clear. “Badla” will come, but “der se” (delayed), and it will take you by surprise.

A pre-dawn strike by the Indian Air Force on Tuesday, 26 February, against terror camps of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), has resulted in a propaganda war on both sides. While India caught Pakistan unawares 12 days after the Pulwama suicide bombing that killed over 40 CRPF personnel in Kashmir, Islamabad, in embarrassment, pledged retaliation at a place and time of their choosing. For more podcasts from The Quint, check out our [Podcasts](https://www.thequint.com/news/podcast) section.
The Shiv Sena said today that India's citizens have the right to know about the casualties in the air strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed or JeM terror camp in Pakistan's Balakot and that revealing such information would not lower the morale of the armed forces.
Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has admitted that Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar is in the country, but said he is very unwell and not even in a position to leave his house.
Zack, Jenn, and Alex break down the week’s big nuclear news — the US-North Korea summit in Vietnam and the recent round of hostilities between India and Pakistan. They go over the nitty-gritty of Trump’s somewhat surprising failure to strike a deal with Kim Jong Un, explaining how the talks collapsed, and what it means for the future. Then they talk about why the conflict over Kashmir is flaring up, and just how worried you should be about a war between these two nuclear-armed states. Zack powers through a cold, Alex powers through a North Korea-related lack of sleep, and Jenn makes a fantastic pun on the phrase “peace out.” Here are two articles Alex wrote explaining what happened at the summit. For background, here’s where we were in 2017 and how the first North Korea summit changed everything. Alex’s exclusive on what the deal could have looked like.

This week on Grand Tamasha, Milan Vaishnav sits down with Sadanand Dhume (Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute and Wall Street Journal columnist) and Sukumar Ranganathan (Editor-in-Chief, Hindustan Times) to discuss the aftermath of India’s targeted military strikes against Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist camps in Pakistan. The strikes were a direct response to the tragic February 14 JeM attack on Indian paramilitary forces in Jammu and Kashmir, in which at least forty Indian soldiers lost their lives. The three discuss the current mood in New Delhi and the implications for the coming general elections. They also debate the ramifications of the conflict for state politics in Jammu and Kashmir and the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) standing in the troubled state. Then, Milan speaks with Arvind Subramanian, the former chief economic adviser to the Government of India, about the idea of a universal basic income (UBI) for India. Subramanian was responsible for putting the idea of an Indian UBI on the policy agenda with his landmark proposal in the government’s 2017-2018 Economic Survey. Since then, several states have implemented modified versions of a UBI and both the Congress Party and the ruling BJP have announced their own income support schemes. Subramanian, who is currently a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute of International Economics, weighs in on the competing proposals and outlines his own proposal for a QUBRI (Quasi-Universal Rural Basic Income).

The US is supporting the Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthis in a proxy war that has become a humanitarian catastrophe.

Dozens have died in street protests on both sides in support of their preferred leader. *)NASA bids adieu to Opportunity And finally, NASA has said goodbye to Opportunity, its trusty Mars rover. The rover was originally designed to sniff about Mars for three months. It ended up sending back data to Earth for 15 years. But engineers lost contact with the little robot last June, and yesterday finally pulled the plug on its amazing mission.
Moderate Rebels episode 19 - Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton conclude our Syria series with Rania Khalek. Ben details how his misguided views matured. And we name and shame the regime change gang, including the radlib college students from Jaish al-Grad School occupying Brooklyn, and the pro-imperialist Cliffite Trotskyites in the International Socialist Organization (ISO). We also debunk the absurd "red-brown" smears used by McCarthyite pro-imperialist "leftists." This is part 3 of our 3-part interview with Rania Khalek.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Walter Smolarek (filling in for Brian Becker) and John Kiriakou are joined by Dr. Gerald Horne, a professor of history at the University of Houston and author of many books, including “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America.”Linda Brown died yesterday Brown was a young schoolgirl when she was at the center of a landmark Supreme Court case that ended racial segregation in American schools, Brown versus Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The hosts talk about her legacy, the impact of Brown v. The Board of Education at the time, and the way that school segregation has morphed, but in effect stayed the same, since then. Tuesday’s weekly series continues, looking at the top economic issues of the day, focusing on the power of Amazon and the decline of department stores and shopping malls. Financial policy analyst Daniel Sankey joins the show.Syria and rebel groups have made evacuation deals in two of three rebel pockets outside of Damascus, in Harasta and Douma. The third pocket, controlled by the Jaish al-Islam, or Army of Islam, Saudi Arabia’s main ally, is not yet being evacuated because the Army of Islam has refused to surrender. That group is still in negotiations with Russia, Syria’s main ally, and another round of talks starts tomorrow. Civilians eagerly await the arrival of humanitarian aid from the Syrian government once rebel forces are gone. Walter and John speak with Rick Sterling, an investigative journalist and member of the Syria Solidarity Movement. A bipartisan group of congresspeople has called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate whether Aljazeera, the news outlet owned by the Qatari government, should register as an agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA. Peter van Buren, a former State Department Foreign Service Officer who became a renowned whistleblower, a journalist, and the author of four books, the most recent of which is “Hooper’s War: A Novel of World War II Japan,” joins the show. Over the last day, the US and the European Union have announced that they would expel more than 100 Russian diplomats, many thought to be intelligence officers, from their countries as a result of the Skripal poisoning case. The actions return the state of relations between Russia on one side, and the US and EU on the other, to the days of the Cold War. Reiner Braun, co-president of the International Peace Bureau, joins Walter and John. A Border Patrol agent who shot and killed a teenager who threw a stone at him from the Mexican side of the border, has gone on trial in federal court in Tucson. The agent, who shot the boy ten times, maintains that he was in danger for his safety. Isabel Garcia, co-founder of Coalición de Derechos Humanos, joins the show.The state of California is suing the Trump Administration, arguing that its decision to ask about citizenship status in the next census is an unconstitutional attempt to undercount immigrants. Brian and John speak with Jorge Barón, the executive director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.
Since the ‘Arab Spring' uprising of 2011, the United States and a network of European and regional Sunni allies have applied instruments of coercion against Syria that collectively take on the character of ‘hybrid warfare'. In this conflict, Washington and its alliance partners have undertaken a wide range of lethal and non-lethal covert operations, with heavy reliance placed upon those performed by regional Sunni allies. By empowering jihadis as proxies, President Obama has borrowed much from the Reagan administration's Afghan playbook. As he signaled the launch of this campaign in August 2011, President Obama served notice that the United States would be “pressuring President Assad to step aside”. But one year later, a Defence Intelligence Agency report revealed a hitherto unacknowledged sectarian war goal: the establishment of a “declared or undeclared Salafist Principality in eastern Syria”. It geo-political function would be to break the Shiite crescent. As of today, this hybrid war has produced not just one, but a conglomeration of religiously cleansed Sunni Islamist principalities in northern and eastern Syria. Some are controlled by the Islamic State and al-Qaida, while others are dominated by so-called moderate armies and militias. Among the latter are Washington-backed jihadist formations, such as Jaish al-Fateh and Jaish al-Islam. In all of these principalities, social pluralism has been replaced by Sunni supremacism, impacting not only religious minorities, but also non-Islamist, secular Sunni Muslims. This presentation will demonstrate the relationship between the dynamics of Washington's hybrid war in Syria and the process of religious cleansing and the dismantling of state structures that support social pluralism.
