Jaipur: CM
Bhajan Lal Sharma
, BJP state president Madan Rathore and Deputy CM Diya Kumari were among several BJP functionaries who participated in a '
Tiranga Yatra
' the party organised in the city Thursday in honour of the armed forces who executed '
Operation Sindoor
'.
In a spectacular display of communal harmony, hundreds of members of the Muslim community welcomed the march at Jama Masjid. The march started at Albert Hall and ended at Badi Chaupad after passing through New Gate, Bapu Bazaar and Sanganeri Gate.
"Our Army entered 500 km inside Pakistan to destroy terrorist hubs while Pakistan only fired firecrackers, showcasing their lack of military skill," said Rathore after the march reached Badi Chaupad.
"This march is not of any political party but is for every citizen of the state in honour of the armed forces. Patriotism is equally important for both ruling and opposition parties. Congress leaders should have participated in it," he added.
The CM said, "The anger in the hearts of the citizens after the Pahalgam attack was pacified by our Army's attack on terrorist bases. This is new India, where those aiding terrorists are given a fitting response.

Cong slams BJP MLA for disrespect to Tricolour
Jaipur: Congress slammed BJP MLA Balmukundacharya Thursday for wiping the sweat on his face with the
national flag
he was carrying during the 'Tiranga Yatra'.
"The Tricolour, for which our brave soldiers sacrifice their lives, is being used by BJP MLA Balmukundacharya to wipe his nose. This is not just double standards by BJP members but a betrayal for the country and the Constitution.
It is an insult to millions of martyrs who laid down their lives in the Tricolour's honour. MLA Balmukundacharya should apologise," said Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully.
Attacking the Hawa Mahal MLA, Congress chief whip Rafeek Khan said, "The BJP MLA is wiping his nose with the Tricolour. This is a public insult to our national flag and a serious offence. MLA Balmukundacharya should apologise."
Jaipur city Congress president RR Tiwari said the MLA insulted the nation by wiping his sweat with the Tricolour. "I urge BJP's state president to expel the MLA from the party and take stricter action," he added.

Congress has become Pakistan's spokesperson, speaking its language: Nishikant Dubey
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey came down heavily on the Congress party on Sunday, for the latter's criticism of the Centre over Pakistani Army chief Asim Munir getting an invite for the American military parade and said that it was behaving as a 'spokesperson' of the neighbouring nation. The Parliamentarian accused the Congress party of speaking the language of Pakistan, an enemy nation and said that it was doing so for certain political interests. Dubey, speaking to IANS, said that Congress leaders and spokespersons, including Jairam Ramesh, made a lot of hue and cry over the US government extending the Pak Army chief an invite for its military parade slated for June 14 and called it an 'utter failure' of India's foreign policy. 'But today, the US has denied sending any invite. It has become a habit of the Congress party to mislead and misguide people on issues of national interest. They are acting as the spokespersons of Pakistan,' he alleged. He further said that the Congress party, in its deep-rooted hatred for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has started bringing the nation down with its antics, while its party spokespersons are being seen siding with Pakistani propaganda rather than the national agenda. 'There must be an end to such politics that caters to and seeks to benefit the nation's enemies. Congress, being the principal Opposition party, must understand its responsibility and make amends in its approach,' he added. Brushing aside claims of the Modi government politicising military strikes for political gains, he said that the BJP pursues the politics of nationalism and patriotism, unlike Congress' appeasement and vote-bank politics. He accused the Congress party of appeasing and wooing a certain religious community with its repeated 'praise' for Pakistan and also endorsement of its fake propaganda. He said that the BJP has also always stood against Pakistan and acts of terror. 'The nation got hurt and scarred by multiple terror attacks during the UPA regimes, including the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, leaving more than 175 dead and then again the metropolitan city getting hit in 2011, leaving over 25 dead. It was because of the Congress government's timid response that Pakistan got emboldened and continued abetting terror on our soil,' the BJP MP stated. He said that Congress must see its own 'blemished' past rather than questioning the BJP's policy of nation first.

Britain's finance minister signals possible support for Israel in Iran conflict
Britain could potentially support Israel in its conflict with Iran, but the decision to send additional military jets to the Middle East was made mainly to protect British bases and personnel, British finance minister Rachel Reeves said on Sunday. Israel and Iran launched fresh attacks on each other overnight into Sunday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks by Israel so far were nothing compared with what Iran would see in the coming days. Speaking to Sky News, Reeves called for a de-escalation in the conflict and said the decision to send additional jets to the region was a "precautionary move".
