Indian team to present in U.N. evidence on Pahalgam terror attack

'An Indian technical team is in New York. They are interacting with the Monitoring Team of the 1267 Sanctions Committee and other partner countries in the U.N. They will also be meeting with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) and Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED),' informed an official source.
TRF, founded in 2019, began as a little-known anti-India front that opposed the entry of 'outsiders' to Kashmir and over the last few years, it has come under the focus of the Indian authorities. The group started by spreading anti-India messages on the Telegram app, and post-Pahalgam, it has also been described as an off-shoot of the Pakistan-based terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba that India has accused of carrying out a large number of terror strikes both inside and outside Kashmir.
During the Operation Sindoor of May 7, India bombed a large complex in Muridke near Islamabad that India claims to be the base of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. From the Indian point of view, the attack in Pahalgam is an extension of the Lashkar-e-Taiba's list of terror strikes that also include the 26/11 attack in Mumbai.

Jail term over 2 years or serious charges: MHA issues new grounds to cancel OCI cards
The Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card will be liable for cancellation if its holder is sentenced to imprisonment for a term of at least two years or has been named in a chargesheet for an offence carrying a possible punishment of seven years or more, the home ministry said in a notification on Tuesday. The notification, issued via the official gazette under clause (da) of Section 7D of the Citizenship Act, 1955, outlines that the new rules apply to any OCI registration meeting either of these conditions. An Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) registration shall be liable to get cancelled when a person has been sentenced to imprisonment for term of not less than two years or has been charge-sheeted for an offence entailing punishment of imprisonment for seven years or more: MHA… — ANI (@ANI) August 12, 2025 Introduced in August 2005, the OCI scheme allows Indian-origin foreign nationals to visit India without a visa and provides multiple entry, multi-purpose, lifelong access. It applies to all persons of Indian origin who were citizens of India on or after January 26, 1950, or were eligible to become citizens on that date — but excludes those who are or have been citizens of Pakistan, Bangladesh, or any other country specified by the government. The changes add fresh legal grounds for the cancellation of OCI status, which was previously revoked mainly on security, fraud, or procedural grounds. (With Inputs from PTI)
