J-K: Indian Youth Congress sets up relief camps in Poonch
According to the party's official statement, National President of Indian Youth Congress Uday Bhanu Chib started relief camps on the instructions of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi so that the Youth Congress could provide quick assistance to the affected areas.
Chib said, 'We salute the bravery of the Indian Army, which has given a befitting reply to the enemies through precise and effective air strikes. Every single worker of the Indian Youth Congress is dedicated to serving the nation.', according to the release.
Chib said, 'In this hour of crisis, the workers of the Indian Youth Congress are standing firmly with their people, with compassion, dedication, and courage.'
'In the past few days, whenever darkness fell on the battlefield of Poonch, the workers of the Indian Youth Congress remained on the ground and provided safe shelter, hot food and necessary medical aid to the displaced families through the IYC Relief Camp. This service will continue in this manner until the situation becomes completely normal,' the release added.
India has delivered a strong strategic message by targeting terror camps in Muridke and Bahawalpur -- locations known to house the leadership of major terrorist organisations with links to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), according to high-level sources.
Sources also said that Pakistan Air Force Base Nur Khan in Chaklala suffered significant damage, while Rahim Yar Khan airbase's runway was completely flattened in India's precision strikes under Operation Sindoor.
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in reply to the ghastly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22 that claimed the lives of 26 people. India had struck nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan sought to up the ante with a series of unprovoked escalations using artillery guns and drones.
Following India's operation, the conflict between India and Pakistan deepened, which resulted in increased cross-border shelling from Pakistan and retaliatory action from the Indian Armed Forces. (ANI)

India-Pakistan Diplomatic Spat: Gas, Water Cut For Indian Diplomats In Islamabad Amid Retaliation
In the wake of India's "Operation Sindoor," a retaliatory cross-border military operation against terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, sources have revealed that Pakistan has stepped up efforts to harass Indian diplomats and officials in Islamabad, including reportedly disconnecting basic utility supplies and suspendingnewspaper delivery. "Operation Sindoor," initiated in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack, involved nine terrorist hideouts of the Indian Army being bombed, killing more than 100 terrorists according to reports. Subsequent to this operation, India accused Pakistani authorities of a series of moves by Pakistani authorities that contravene the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Sources say that the distribution of newspapers to the Indian High Commission in Islamabad and Indian diplomats' homes has been suspended. In retort, India has suspended the supply of newspapers to Pakistani diplomats in New Delhi as well. In addition, there have been reports of alleged surveillance and unauthorised access to Indian diplomats' homes and offices in Islamabad, actions which are a direct violation of international diplomatic norms guaranteeing security and respect for the person of diplomatic staff. These actions are interpreted by Indian authorities as an attempt at intimidating diplomatic personnel. Indian diplomats are also said to be suffering great hardship in getting access to even basic amenities like gas and water. Local shopkeepers, who had earlier supplied packaged drinking water and gas cylinders to the Indian High Commission, are now afraid or refusing supplies outright, allegedly on orders from Pakistani officials. A source in Islamabad informed Aaj Tak that although Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has a pipeline attached to the Indian High Commission building, gas supply through it has been cut off deliberately. The Indian diplomats and their family members are compelled to buy high-cost gas cylinders from the open market, normally with procurement problems, despite having to pay more. Indian officials have termed the newspaper delivery ban as a "deliberate conspiracy by Pakistan's intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), to keep Indian diplomats isolated from normal access to print media, restrict their awareness of local developments, and render their living and working conditions in Islamabad unpleasant." Sources also pointed to a precedent for this behavior, remembering the same kind of harassment Indian diplomats had encountered in Islamabad in 2019 after the Indian Army's surgical strikes in retaliation for the Pulwama terrorist attack.

Political slugfest erupts between Congress and BJP over Par Tapi Narmada River-Link project
The controversy over the Par Tapi Narmada River-Link project has resurfaced in South Gujarat's tribal-dominated districts even as a fresh political tussle has broken out between the BJP and the Congress. Meanwhile, the Par Tapi Narmada Link Project Hatao Sangharsh Samithi has decided to hold a public rally and meeting in Valsad on August 14, with similar meetings to follow in Tapi and Dangs districts. On Sunday, Gujarat BJP president and Union Minister CR Paatil while participating in a public event in Navsari had clarified that the project has been shelved for now. Replying to a question regarding the project status, Paatil said, 'The Par Tapi Narmada River-Link project has been postponed'. Targeting the Opposition, the Union minister said: 'The Congress leaders had no other issues, so they took up this (project) and misguided innocent tribal people. I wanted to assure the tribal communities that the government will never carry out any project which is against them… it is the instruction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.' Recently, the project was also discussed in the Parliament during which it was claimed that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the project has been completed. Replying to a question, related to the project, in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State (MoS) for Jal Shakti Raj Bhushan Chaudhary informed that the Central Government has formulated the National Perspective Plan (NPP) for the Inter-Linking of Rivers (ILR) programme to facilitate the transfer of water from surplus to deficit basins and regions. The National Water Development Agency (NWDA) will be responsible for implementing the ILR projects under the NPP framework. A total of 30 ILR projects have been identified, encompassing two major components: the Himalayan Component with 14 link projects and the Peninsular Component with 16 link projects, said the minister. As of July 2025, the Pre-Feasibility Reports (PFRs) have been completed for all 30 projects, Feasibility Reports (FRs) for 26 projects, and Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for 11 projects. The Ken-Betwa Link Project (KBLP) is the first interlinking initiative, under the NPP, to have entered the implementation stage. For other link projects, under the NPP, considerations such as budgetary provisions, fund allocations, and expenditure will be taken up once these projects advance to the implementation phase, said sources. Earlier on July 29, Leader of Opposition in the Gujarat Assembly, Dr Tushar Chaudhary, had written to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and asked to clarify the project status. In the letter, Dr Chaudhary mentioned that 'in 2022, there was a widespread protest among the tribals in Valsad, Tapi and Dangs districts in South Gujarat over the project, following which, the state government had assured the tribals that the Central government project will not take place, as the state government's consent is necessary, and they won't give consent'. 'The tribals of South Gujarat are tense, and as the Chief Minister, you have to offer a clarification,' stated the letter. Meanwhile, CR Paatil during the Sunday's function also slammed Congress leader Dr Tushar Chaudhary over the letter. 'Dr Chaudhary has previously held the post of the MoS in the Central government… he should know that no such DPR was presented in the Parliament,' said Paatil. Replying to Paatil, the Congress MLA of Vansda in Navsari district, Anant Patel, in a video on social media, said, 'If you (BJP and Paatil) want to regain the trust of the tribal community, 'you' give it in writing that the project has been cancelled and will not take place.' Meanwhile, Valsad BJP MP Dhaval Patel during a press conference on Sunday said, 'The Par Tapi Narmada river-linking project will not take place in South Gujarat. I am assuring you as a son of a tribal. The Congress leaders are unnecessarily misguiding the innocent tribals.' Sharing the details about the August 14 meeting, MLA Anant Patel told the Indian Express, 'A large number of tribals from different districts and talukas will gather at Dharampur town in Valsad on August 14 to protest against the project'. He added, 'This event will be non-political. We will address the tribals in the town during a rally and hand a memorandum to the Mamlatdar.' He further added, 'We are also going to carry out similar public meetings and rallies in Tapi and Dangs districts in the coming days to make the tribals aware about the project.' Patel said, 'If Union Minister Paatil claims that the project won't take place, then he should release a white paper on this issue in the Parliament.' The project was envisioned under the 1980 National Perspective Plan under the former Union Ministry of Irrigation and the Central Water Commission (CWC). The project proposes to transfer river water from the surplus regions of the Western Ghats to the deficit regions of Saurashtra and Kutch. It proposes to link three rivers — Par, originating from Nashik in Maharashtra and flowing through Valsad, Tapi from Saputara that flows through Maharashtra and Surat in Gujarat, and Narmada originating in Madhya Pradesh and flowing through Maharashtra and Bharuch and Narmada districts in Gujarat. The link mainly includes the construction of seven dams (Jheri, Mohankavchali, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan), three diversion weirs (Paikhed, Chasmandva, and Chikkar dams), two tunnels (5.0 kilometers and 0.5 kilometers length), the 395-kilometre long canal (205 kilometre in Par-Tapi portion including the length of feeder canals and 190 km in Tapi-Narmada portion), and six powerhouses. Of these, the Jheri dam falls in Nashik, while the remaining dams are in Valsad and Dang districts of South Gujarat.

In capital, Opposition parties march against EC in show of unity on SIR, ‘vote theft'
Opposition parties on Monday took out a united march from Parliament against the Election Commission (EC) over the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar as well alleged 'voting malpractices' in the 2024 Lok Sabha election. As placard-bearing MPs sloganeered against the government and clambered over barricades, with some fainting, police stopped the march to the EC office and detained several senior leaders. This is the first time the INDIA bloc's parties have hit the street together, as they attempt to send a message that they stand united on the issue of 'electoral malpractices'. The march began at Parliament's Makar Dwar with around 300 MPs from Opposition parties singing the national anthem. Wearing white caps with the crossed-out words 'SIR' and 'vote chori', they soon set off for Nirvachan Sadan on Ashoka Road, lending varied colours to the streets of Central Delhi: from the Samajwadi Party and Left parties' red to the RJD's green and the Congress's white. The protesting MPs raised slogans against the SIR and 'vote chori'. There were signs of bonhomie and solidarity, as Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi lent a hand to TMC MP Mitali Bag as she fainted during the protest. Sanjay Singh and other leaders from the AAP, which maintains that it is not part of the INDIA bloc, also took part in the march. Police personnel on Parliament Street announced to the MPs through loudspeakers that only 30 representatives would be allowed to go to the EC office. Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, meanwhile, scaled a barricade to cheers as TMC MPs Mahua Moitra and Sushmita Dev followed. Police detained several senior Opposition leaders — including NCP's Sharad Pawar, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Gandhi, Akhilesh and his MP wife Dimple Yadav, TMC's Derek O'Brien, Congress's Priyanka Gandhi, DMK's T R Baalu and CPI-M's John Brittas. All the detained MPs were taken to Parliament Street police station — chaos prevailed on the buses — and released at around 2 pm. Speaking to reporters from the window of the bus he was detained in, LoP Gandhi said: 'The reality is that they (EC) can't talk. Because the truth is in front of the country. This is not a political fight. This is a fight for the Constitution and to save it. It is a fight for one man, one vote. Hence, we want a clean voter list.' TMC Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha Sagarika Ghose alleged police pushed women MPs and dragged them by the hair. 'Women MPs have been pushed, shoved and dragged by the hair. One woman MP has fainted. The way women MPs have been mistreated. It is the most shocking nuzzling of democracy by the Modi government,' said Ghose in a video shared on X. A distraught Moitra could be seen in the video being fanned with a placard and taking sips of water. A detained Priyanka held up a copy of the Constitution — that had become synonymous with the Congress's campaign in last year's Lok Sabha election — and raised slogans against the government from inside the police vehicle. At the police station, Opposition MPs continued to raise slogans against the government and the EC. Kharge said the protest against 'vote chori' and SIR was a fight to protect people's right to vote and save democracy. 'BJP's cowardly dictatorship will not work!,' he said on X in Hindi. Congress MP Jairam Ramesh said: 'Our demand from the EC was very clear. All Opposition MPs are staging a peaceful march. At the end of the march, we collectively wish to present a memorandum on SIR and other issues.' On Sunday, the EC had said it had decided to 'give an appointment for an interaction' to 30 party representatives 'due to limitation of space'. An EC official said Ramesh had acknowledged the EC's email, but not sent any list of names. After being released, the Opposition MPs headed back to Parliament, where both houses were functioning. In their absence, Lok Sabha passed the National Sports Governance Bill and the National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill. In Rajya Sabha, Leader of Opposition Kharge briefly tried to raise the detention of the MPs but was not allowed to. Gandhi told reporters outside Parliament that the fight wasn't political anymore — it was for the 'soul of the country'. 'Three hundred MPs wanted to meet the ECI. They say they will come with a delegation and submit a document. The EC says no and that 300 MPs can't come. They are scared that if 300 MPs reach, then the truth will come out… In Karnataka, we have clearly shown that it is not one-man, one-vote…' About the EC demanding a signed undertaking from him over his allegations of voter malpractices in Karnataka, Gandhi said: 'This is a bid to distract. It has happened in different constituencies, not just in Bengaluru. The EC is trying to suppress this data, but we will release it and it will explode.' TMC Rajya Sabha leader O'Brien said he wished to convey 'four key issues' to the EC on 'SIR (vote chori)'. 'Initiate an FIR against former CEC Rajeev Kumar for manipulation of the voters' list… Going forward, implement digitisation of voters' list… No SIR should be conducted now. No bulldozing SIR in Opposition-ruled states. (If the current voters' list is full of flaws, the Union government should resign)… No political party will share BLA-2 details (profile, contact, and photo) with the EC, as these will promptly reach the BJP,' he said in a post on X.
