Pakistan pushes fake news on unceremonious removal of senior Indian Military officers
NEW DELHI: Amidst the volatile situation with the Indian Military given the operational freedom to respond to the Pahalgam terror strike, fake news regarding the unceremonious removal of Lt Gen DS Rana was spread on Saturday by Pakistan based media houses and social media accounts.

J&K CM Omar Abdullah meets with PM Modi for first time after Pahalgam terror attack
NEW DELHI: Ten days after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack , Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Saturday. This marked the first meeting between the J&K Chief Minister and the Prime Minister following the attack, which claimed the lives of 27 people from across India at Pahalgam on 22 April. During the 35-minute meeting, Abdullah discussed several matters, including the situation that unfolded in the Valley post-attack and the notable decline in tourist numbers across the region. According to sources, Abdullah arrived at the PMs residence in the afternoon as per a scheduled appointment and briefed PM Modi on the situation. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), National Conference Abdullahs party shared, Chief Minister J&K Omar Abdullah called on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and discussed various issues, including last weeks Pahalgam terror attack. The J&K CMs meeting with PM Narendra Modi occurred amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the attack, and increasing calls for strong military action against terror camps and other elements promoting terrorism from Pakistani soil. Sources reported that the J&K CM also extended his governments support to the Centre in the fight against terrorism during the meeting. Recently, Abdullah stated that public outrage following the attack had sent a powerful message to terrorists and signalled a nearing end to terrorism in J&K. Addressing a special session of the J&K Assembly after the attack, he said the Assembly felt the pain of the victims families more than anyone else, and condemned the killings during the one-day session. His words struck a chord when he said, I did not have the words to apologise to these families, though the security of Jammu and Kashmir is not the responsibility of the elected government. He also expressed sorrow for failing to ensure the safe return of the tourists, acknowledging his role as tourism minister. Meanwhile, sources suggested that Abdullahs meeting with the Prime Minister was also an expression of solidarity with any action taken against terrorism and the elements that support it. Notably, following Abdullahs meeting with PM Modi, the Navy Chief also met with the Prime Minister, reportedly to brief him on the latest preparedness against terrorism. It is believed that India may soon deliver a strong response to what is seen as the terror factory of Pakistan, following diplomatic efforts to isolate it after the attack. The President of India, Prime Minister Modi, and senior ministers have postponed some foreign visits due to the prevailing tension between the two nuclear-armed nations. Sources stated that airspace over Pakistan has reportedly been closed until 23 May. So one may anticipate a strong action before that deadline of air space closure, remarked a source cryptically.

Citing seven-day notice rule, Punjab boycotts BBMB meeting over water-sharing row with Haryana
CHANDIGARH: A day after the BJP-led Union Government advised the AAP-led Punjab Government to implement the Bhakra Beas Management Boards (BBMB) order to release an additional 4,500 cusecs of water from the Bhakra Dam to Haryana over the next eight days to meet the urgent water needs of the state, Punjab did not participate in the BBMB meeting held today. Instead, it sent a letter requesting that the meeting be postponed. Sources said that in the letter to the BBMB chairman, the state government stated that a special session of the Punjab Assembly has been convened on Monday (May 5), during which the BBMB's decision to allocate 4,500 cusecs of additional water to Haryana would be discussed. As such, it could not participate in the meeting. The officials of the state government are currently preoccupied with preparations for the assembly session. The Water Resources Department further stated that a seven-day notice is mandatory before convening a BBMB meeting, as per Section 7 of the 1976 Regulations, and demanded adherence to proper procedures. It is respectfully requested that the meeting may kindly be adjourned. The Punjab government has called a special session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha on May 5 amid the water-sharing dispute with Haryana, the letter read. Not a drop of excess water from Bhakra dam: Punjab parties unite to block release to Haryana The state government also pointed out that, as per BBMB regulations, a notice of no less than seven days is required for holding a special meeting. Subsequently, another notice was issued on April 29 for the April 30 meeting. In both cases, the provisions of Regulation 3 of the 1976 Regulations were not followed. Under the circumstances, the decisions taken in both meetings are therefore not in accordance with the law. It is requested that the meeting proposed on May 3 be adjourned, the letter added. Meanwhile, in a meeting held yesterday in Delhi and headed by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, the Punjab Government was advised to release the water. Punjab Water Resources and Soil and Water Conservation Minister Barinder Kumar Goyal said that the Punjab Government boycotted the BBMB meeting. Terming the meeting completely unconstitutional and illegal, Goyal said that proper protocols had been violated in the scheduling of the 255th Special Meeting. Under Regulation 3 of the 1976 Regulations, a seven-day notice is mandatory before scheduling a BBMB meeting, he said. Goyal pointed out that the recent BBMB meetings held on April 28 and April 30 were also convened without adhering to the mandatory notice period. Notices for these meetings were issued merely a day before the scheduled dateson April 27 and April 29, respectivelyrendering any decisions taken during these meetings legally questionable. The BBMB regulates water distribution from the Bhakra, Pong, and Ranjit Sagar dams. Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan are the partner states that meet their requirements for various purposes, including irrigation, from the Bhakra and Pong dams.

Will strike any structure they build: Pakistan Defence Minister on Indus Waters Treaty
NEW DELHI: Amid escalating tensions over the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif warned on Friday that Islamabad would strike if India built any structure on the Indus River in violation of the Indus Waters Treaty. Speaking in an interview with Geo News, Asif said that building any infrastructure on the river would be considered an act of Indian aggression. This warning came after India held the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance as part of its broader response to the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people. Asif emphasized that any attempt by India to build on the river would be met with strong opposition. Certainly, if they attempt to build any structure, we will strike it. Aggression is not just about firing cannons or bullets; it has many faces. One of those faces is blocking or diverting water, which could lead to deaths due to hunger and thirst. He added, If they make any architectural attempt, then Pakistan will destroy that structure. However, Asif noted that for now, Pakistan would raise the issue at appropriate forums and with relevant stakeholders. Pakistan's defence minister says chances of conflict with India increasing with passage of time The Indus Waters Treaty, signed on September 19, 1960, between India and Pakistan and brokered by the World Bank, defines the rights and responsibilities of both nations over the use of the Indus River system. Under the agreement, Pakistan was granted control over the western riversIndus, Jhelum, and Chenabwhile India retained control over the eastern riversRavi, Beas, and Sutlej. Due to the structure of the original treaty, India has access to only about 20% of the total water governed by the agreement, while Pakistan receives the remaining 80%. This is because the western rivers, allocated to Pakistan, carry significantly more water than the eastern rivers assigned to India. This is the second time in recent weeks that Khawaja Asif has threatened India over its actions in response to the Pahalgam attack. Last week, he warned that Indias moves could trigger an all-out war between the two nuclear-armed neighbors . Asif stated that Pakistan was prepared for any eventuality, adding, We will measure our response to whatever India initiates. If it leads to an all-out attack, then obviously there will be an all-out war. Earlier this week, the Indian government also blocked Khawaja Asif's social media account.

After PM Modi, Rajnath Singh to skip Russia's Victory Day parade, his deputy to represent India
NEW DELHI: In the wake of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has reportedly opted out of representing India at the 80th anniversary celebrations of Victory Day, to be held in Moscow on May 9. Initially, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was expected to attend Russia's Victory Day celebrations. Although no official reason was provided for his decision not to go, it is believed to be linked to the security situation following the Pahalgam attack. The news of Rajnath Singh attending the Victory Parade was initially shared by Russian officials. Sources in the Ministry of Defence have stated that Rajnath Singh's deputy, Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth, will now represent India at the parade in Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin had invited both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the Victory Day celebrations at Red Square in Moscow.

26/11 Mumbai terror attack probe: NIA obtains Tahawwur Rana's voice, handwriting samples
NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday collected the voice and handwriting samples of Tahawwur Rana, the alleged mastermind behind the Mumbai terror attacks, before a Delhi court. Officials said the exercise was conducted before Judicial Magistrate First Class Vaibhav Kumar under tight security. Rana provided handwriting specimens by writing various alphabets and numerical characters, they added. The NIA had sought permission from the special court to collect the samples , which was granted on April 30. Ranas legal counsel opposed the request, arguing that such a procedure was unnecessary. However, the NIA contended that scientific verification of Ranas voice was crucial, particularly to match it with previously recorded phone calls linked to the 26/11 case. The court accepted the agencys arguments and allowed the sample collection. Rana remains in NIA custody until May 10 . Officials said it would be difficult to obtain a further extension of his police remand, which is why the agency is expediting key investigative procedures. Following the end of his remand, Rana is likely to be shifted to a high-security cell in Tihar Jail on May 10, they added. Rana, a 64-year-old Canadian businessman of Pakistani origin, was extradited from the United States last month for his alleged involvement in the deadly 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Following his extradition, he was placed under the NIAs custody in New Delhi, where investigators continue to probe his suspected links to the perpetrators of the attacks. The 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, orchestrated by the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed the lives of over 170 people and left hundreds injured. He helped plot the 26/11 attacks.

NIA questions two jailed LeT operatives in Pahalgam terror attack probe
NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) sleuths are questioning two Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terroristsMushtaq and Nisarcurrently lodged in a Jammu jail for their links to the 2023 Rajouri attack, as investigators have found similarities in the modus operandi used in the Pahalgam attack on tourists , officials said on Saturday. Mushtaq and Nisar have been in jail since April 2023 for their role in the terror attack on civilians in Rajouri district, followed by an IED blast in which seven people, including two children, were killed and several others injured. Meanwhile, NIA investigators have expanded the scope of their probe, as a significant lead has emerged related to the movement of a banned Huawei satellite phone in the Pahalgam region at the time of the attack, officials added. Huawei, a Chinese company, is prohibited in India, raising suspicions that the device was smuggled from Pakistan or another foreign country, they said. The NIA is now extending its investigation to the border areas of Jammu and Kashmirincluding Machil, Keran, Nowgam, Baramulla, and Urito establish the infiltration routes of the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam attack and to locate their hideouts. Security sources also confirmed that the Jammu and Kashmir Police have taken action against various individuals under the Public Safety Act. Over the past two days, nearly 100 suspects have been detained, making it the largest such action since the Centres decision to revoke the special status granted under Article 370 of the Constitution. The NIA formally took over the Pahalgam terror attack probe and re-registered its own case on April 27. Several teams from the agency are now involved in collecting evidence and questioning eyewitnesses, including relatives of the victims, to uncover the broader terror conspiracy. Initial investigations into the attack indicate that the number of terrorists involved could range from five to seven. The attackers were also aided by at least two local militants who had received training in Pakistan.

NEW DELHI: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of failing to uphold 'Rajdharma' by not visiting Manipur even once in the last two years. In a post on X, he said Manipur continues to be troubled for two years without the Prime Minister setting foot on its soil. Kharge said the violence in Manipur began on May 3, 2023 and still continues. Just two days ago, 25 people were injured in a violent clash in Tamenglong district, he noted. Kharge said more than 260 people have died and 68,000 people displaced and thousands are still living in relief camps. Narendra Modi ji, Even as Manipur awaits your presence and return of peace and normalcy, we want to ask 3 pointed questions to you, he wrote. Since January 2022, your last election rally in Manipur, you have made 44 Foreign visits around the globe and 250 domestic visits across the nation, yet you have not spent a single second in Manipur.

Islamabad calls New Delhi's plan to ask IMF to review Pak loans as 'politically motivated'
ISLAMABAD: Ahead of IMF's crucial review meeting next week, Pakistan has termed India's announcement that it will request the global lender to review Islamabad's financial support programme as politically motivated after the Pahalgam terror attack. The Express Tribune said Saturday quoting officials that India's attempt to involve the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an extension of its political campaign to isolate Pakistan diplomatically. The IMF Executive Board is scheduled to meet Pakistan officials on May 9 for the first review of the Extended Funding Facility (EFF), and request for an arrangement under the resilience and sustainability facility. India on Friday said it will be asking global multilateral agencies, including the IMF, to have a relook at funds and loans provided to Pakistan, as New Delhi seeks to corner the neighbouring state diplomatically following the dastardly April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam , which killed 26 tourists. The Express Tribune said officials argue that India's attempt to involve the IMF is an extension of its political campaign to isolate Pakistan diplomatically. Authorities have identified five terrorists, including three Pakistani nationals, behind the massacre in Pahalgam. Islamabad has rejected the accusations and called for an impartial international investigation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 24 vowed to punish the terrorists behind the Pahalgam terror attack and those part of the conspiracy beyond their imagination, asserting that the country's enemies targeted not merely unarmed tourists but dared to attack India's soul. In a high-level meeting with the top defence brass on April 29, Modi asserted that the armed forces have complete operational freedom to decide on the mode, targets and timing of India's response to the terror attack, according to government sources. Meanwhile, the newspaper quoted an adviser to Pakistan's Finance Ministry as confirming on Friday that the country's USD 7 billion IMF bailout, secured last year, remains well on track and critical for macroeconomic stability. Islamabad also received an additional USD 1.3 billion in climate resilience funding in March 2025. This programme is not just stabilising Pakistan; it's building confidence, said finance adviser Khurram Schehzad. The latest IMF review went smoothly, and our meetings with global financial institutions in Washington reflected high investor interest.

'Will you act now?' Congress asks SEBI over insider trading charge against Adani nephew
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday wondered whether market regulator SEBI would prosecute Gautam Adani's nephew who has been accused sharing insider data. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the people of India are still waiting for SEBI to complete the investigation into Adani's violation of 24 counts of securities laws. The Modani Matter simply refuses to go away. Recently Gautam Adani's nephew - who is a director in several Adani Group companies - has been accused of insider trading by sharing unpublished, price-sensitive information with his brother-in-law which resulted in 'ill-gotten gains' of Rs 90 lakh, he said in a post on X. Will SEBI once again let the Prime Minister's favourite business group off with a slap on the wrist? Or will it prosecute the case to the full extent of the law? Ramesh asked while sharing reports of Pranav Adni sharing insider data. Meanwhile, he said, the people of India are still waiting for SEBI to complete the investigation into Adani's violation of 24 counts of securities laws. It has been 26 months since the Supreme Court directed SEBI to complete its investigation following the Hindenburg revelations, he said. Meanwhile, SEBI's US counterpart -- the Securities and Exchange Commission -- has been much more proactive since it received evidence that between 2020 and 2024 Gautam Adani and seven associates offered Rs 2,000 crore in bribes to Indian officials to secure solar power contracts that would have yielded over Rs 16,000 crore in profits, the Congress leader noted. The Modi government has predictably chosen not to assist the SEC --now acting under President Donald Trump's administration--in serving a legal summons to Adani despite repeated requests for assistance from the SEC, according to a 25 April 2025 SEC update, Ramesh alleged.

IPL 2025: Kolkata Knight Riders Seek Win Over Rajasthan Royals To Boost Playoffs Hopes
Kolkata Knight Riders: Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are aiming to secure a playoffs spot in IPL 2025. For that to happen mathematically, they need to win their remaining four matches, starting with a home game against the already-eliminated Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Eden Gardens on Sunday afternoon. The task for seventh-placed KKR is easier said than done, considering their home leg form has been poor - only one win coming from five matches. Their batters have been inconsistent - Rinku Singh and Venkatesh Iyer havent been at their run-scoring best while their opening combination never got a settled look. Captain Ajinkya Rahane is also nursing a hand injury which he picked during their 14-run win over Delhi Capitals (DC) earlier this week though it is expected that he will be fit in time for Sundays game. Its the bowling where theres been some solace spin duo of Sunil Narine, who had a brilliant all-round show in Delhi and Varun Chakaravarthy have been at their best. Meanwhile, RR have already been eliminated from the race to playoffs after a string of poor results, including a recent 100-run hammering at the hands of five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) in Jaipur. Despite this, they can still be dangerous opponents with nothing to lose, as said by Rahane on the Star Sports press room show on Friday. RR's struggles in IPL 2025 have happened due to lack of depth in both batting and bowling departments, including with regular skipper Sanju Samson being injured for a huge period. 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been their bright spots with the bat, while the likes of Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer havent been in great form. Their bowling attack has also lacked penetration, with the likes of Jofra Archer and Maheesh Theekshana being expensive and ineffective. RR have nothing to lose, but KKR have, as the race to IPL 2025 playoffs intensifies with every outcome.

IMD forecasts thunderstorms, hailstorms over major parts of India this week
After stormy weather in the past 24-hours in North India, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an Orange alert for Northwest India, including the Delhi-NCR region, as well as East and Central India, for the next four days. The regions are expected to experience heavy rainfall, accompanied by lightning, hailstorms, and strong winds, occur throughout the week. Following it, the IMD has issued an agromet advisory to protect crops and orchards. They also urged residents of vulnerable regions, particularly in urban and hilly areas to take necessary precautions before the hazardous weather. In the past 24-hours, Delhi's Safdarjung station recorded 77 mm of rainfall, marking the second-highest amount of rainfall for May since 1901. The highest was 119.3 mm, recorded on May 20, 2021, at the Safdarjung Airport. This recent rainfall was associated with the remnants of the Tauktae cyclone that crossed the Gujarat coast. After significant downpours along with thunderstorms, minimum temperatures in Delhi-NCR dropped by as much as 8C, and it has been predicted that maximum temperatures in Delhi-NCR will be below normal by 1-3C in the coming days. The IMD reports that multiple weather systems are currently in place, leading to continued rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning in the region. A combination of a western disturbance and a series of cyclonic circulations over Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana has created hazardous weather conditions across large areas of North India. These weather systems are expected to remain active throughout the week. In some areas, there may be dust storms and isolated hailstorms, particularly in parts of Rajasthan. In addition to Northwest India, multiple weather systems are present over Central and Eastern India, resulting in widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning. The IMD's advisory notes the existence of a cyclonic system over Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, as well as a trough running from Punjab to North Kerala. Furthermore, another cyclonic circulation is located over northern Bangladesh at lower and middle tropospheric levels. All these systems are anticipated to bring rain across the country in the coming days, indicating active pre-monsoon showers and causing unseasonal rainfall. This unseasonal rain is expected to be beneficial for upcoming crops, as it will help replenish soil moisture during a typically dry period, said Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather, a private weather agency. In its agromet advisory, IMD advised to drain out excess water from standing crops in Odisha, Kerala and Karnataka whereas it advised use of hail nets and caps to prevent damage in vegetables and orchards in Sikkim, Odisha, Himachal Pradesh, East Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Vidarbha. For livestock, it advised to keep animals inside shed during rainfall and hailstorm and feed and fodders at safe place. Additionally, residents should monitor the weather and be prepared to move to safer areas if conditions worsen.

Manipur's anguish continues, no reconciliation process underway: Congress slams PM Modi, HM Shah
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to shun Manipur and Union Home Minister Amit Shah proved to be a ig failure in managing the situation in the state which has been in the grip of ethnic strife since 2023. Congress General Secretary In-charge, Communications, Jairam Ramesh said the BJP formed a government in Manipur with a massive mandate in February 2022, and exactly two years ago today, the state erupted in sectarian violence. What began on May 3, 2023, therefore, was the self-dictated, self-directed derailment of the so-called double engine sarkar in the state. Three months later, the Supreme Court was compelled to declare that there had been an absolute breakdown of Constitutional machinery in the state, Ramesh said on X. Exactly two years ago today Manipur erupted. This calamity overtook it after the people of the state had given a decisive mandate to the BJP and its allies in the assembly elections in February 2022. What began on May 3, 2023, therefore, was the self-dictated, self-directed Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) May 3, 2025 Faced with a no-confidence motion to be moved by the Congress in the state assembly, the Modi government forced the CM to resign and finally imposed President's Rule on February 13, 2025 - twenty months after the people demanded it, he said. The anguish and suffering of Manipur continues. Political games are being played. No worthwhile reconciliation process is underway. Over 60,000 internally displaced persons continue to live in relief camps in conditions of great stress, Ramesh said. Most importantly, the PM continues to avoid and shun Manipur. He has met with nobody from the state. He has gone all over the world but has not found the time nor the inclination, nor the sensitivity to visit the troubled state and reach out to the people there, he said. The Home Minister to whom the PM has outsourced management of Manipur has proved to be a ig failure, Ramesh alleged. Manipur deserves better. The people of Manipur are waiting for the PM to arrive in Imphal and go around the beautiful state and extend the healing touch - at least to the extent that he is capable of doing so, the Congress general secretary said. More than 220 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in ethnic violence between Imphal Valley-based Meiteis and adjoining hills-based Kuki-Zo groups since May 2023.
