Terrorism will swallow Pakistan one day: Yogi
Lucknow, May 14 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday said that Pakistan, which is a supporter of terrorism, will one day be swallowed by the poisonous snake of terrorism.
To salute the valour of the Indian Army after the success of 'Operation Sindoor', the CM flagged off the Bharat Shaurya Tiranga Yatra from his official residence. He led the Yatra with the Tricolour in his hand and on behalf of the people of the state, congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, soldiers, ex-servicemen and the youth for the success of Operation Sindoor.
He said the entire country was eager to salute the brave soldiers. He said during a national crisis, patience and unity are the biggest assets of the country.
Yogi said, "India defeated Pakistan. The world also saw the shameless face of that country when its leaders and military officers participated in the funeral of terrorists. All that shows Pakistan is a failed nation and in the last 70-75 years since its birth, it has only sown the seeds of terrorism. Pakistan has told the world the story of its failure. The support being given to terrorism proves that terrorism will swallow Pakistan one day."
He said Operation Sindoor was a response to the actions of a hollowed-out Pakistan. "It is certain in the coming times that whoever points a finger at India and works to breach the security against the honour of our sisters and daughters, there will be no one to cry at his funeral," he said.
The CM said that Pakistan-backed terrorists had perpetrated a barbaric act in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, which was condemned by the country and the world, but Pakistan, the promoter of terrorism, and its masters remained silent.
He said, "Our government, committed to protecting the honour and dignity of India, provided all the evidence, even after that Pakistan did not stop its activities. Finally 'Operation Sindoor' was launched. On the very first day, more than 100 terrorists and their family members who directly contributed to nurturing terrorism were punished for the heinous act."
The CM said that it has been the resolve of PM Modi from the very first day that when we talk of a new and developed India, our aim should be nation first. "To realise the vision of a developed India, it is necessary that we work with the spirit of nation first," he said.
Expressing gratitude towards PM Modi, he said that he kept the whole country united and boosted the morale of the brave soldiers by going to Adampur in Punjab.

Congress leader Varsha Gaikwad stages protest against land transfer to Adani
Mumbai Congress leader Varsha Gaikwad led a protest on Sunday (June 8, 2025) against handing over the Mother Dairy land parcel in Mumbai's Kurla to the Adani group for Dharavi Redevelopment Project Private Limited (DRPPL). She demanded to use the land for a botanical garden instead of a rehabilitation project, saying, 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrenders when American president Donald Trump calls, why CM Devender Fadnavis surrenders when Modi calls for Adani.' Former Minister Ms. Gaikwad alleged the BJP government is constantly ignoring the opposition of the locals and letting Adani swallow the whole of Mumbai during the protest. 'The Kurla Mother Dairyland is environmentally sensitive. Kurla Mother Dairy houses hundred-year-old trees, locals are demanding a botanical garden to protect them, yet it is transferred to Adani for infrastructure purposes at a nominal rate,' she added. Days ago, the Maharashtra Cabinet's decision to transfer an 8.05-hectare Mother Dairy land parcel to the DRPPL triggered opposition from locals and Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders. Kurla Dairy is among the three dairies of Mumbai, where milk production stopped over the years, and the land was made available for other projects. Many Congress leaders and party functionaries, including MLA Jyoti Gaikwad, Congress spokesperson Suresh Chandra Rajhans, and Mumbai General Secretary Mahendra Mungekar, along with their supporters and activists, staged the peaceful protest in Kurla. Ms. Gaikwad said, 'While we were peacefully protesting, once again the Modani (Modi and Adani) government had sent a large police force to suppress the voice of the people. What justice is it that the police stopped the peaceful protest with the force of police force? The government is providing security to thieves, but we will not be swayed by this oppression. We will continue to fight against this Adani government for the rights of Mumbai.' She called the transfer of land a part of a 'conspiracy' wherein the plan is to destroy the lives of lakhs of Dharavikars and acquire 600 acres of land in Dharavi, along with Kurla Mother Dairy, saltpans, and Deonar dumping ground land. She alleged government will also seize land parcels in Air India Colony, Bandra Reclamation, Behrampada, and Motilal Nagar without taking the locals into confidence.

General Electric Eager to Power India's 5th Gen Fighter Jet
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Popular in Epaper US' General Electric (GE) will vie for the contract to make engines for the Indian Air Force 's fifth-generation stealth fighter or advanced medium combat aircraft , chairman and chief executive Larry Culp told ET in an said the aerospace major considers India a strategically important market for both the civil and defence aerospace businesses.'We are very interested,' he said. 'If you look at what we're doing with the Tejas with our 404 engines, we are right in the middle of probably what matters most in that regard. The US and India enjoy a very strong relationship. So we are here, we want to be supportive and are engaged so we possibly can be.'Last month, India announced a long-awaited plan to fast-track the development of an indigenous fifth-generation stealth fighter. The announcement came days after Operation Sindoor against of the most critical components—a high-thrust engine—will likely be developed through a joint venture with a foreign manufacturer. GE will face competition on this from rivals such as Safran and is also stepping up the delivery of jet engines to plane maker Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) for the Tejas Mark-1A fighter, which has been much delayed. In March, GE delivered the first of 99 F-404 engines, around two years behind schedule.'That is our intent and we've communicated that to everyone,' Culp said. 'We are working with the suppliers to ramp their capability. We're making good progress. I just look at April and May of this year compared to where we were in the first quarter—we've seen a double-digit increase in the number of receipts.'IAF chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh recently voiced concerns about delays in the procurement of critical military military programmes and commercial airline sales are increasingly being delayed due to the inability of manufacturers to ramp up production. Culp said that though multiple actions are being taken to lessen the impact, it will be a while before the problem is solved.'We are making a tremendous amount of progress not only in GE but across the industry,' he said. 'But when you look at the demand expectations that only increase every year, we're going to be talking about supply chain for a while. That's just the nature of the challenge where we are in a super cycle.'GE will also look to set up a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility for civilian aircraft engines in India once the volume increases. 'I think that's more a matter of when, as opposed to if,' he said. 'We want to make sure we have the underlying volume in the marketplace that would support those investments.'GE has more than 1,400 engines operating in India, powering both narrow and wide body aircraft and an order book for around 2,500 more. 'The number is sufficient to say that India is a priority country for us,' Culp you look at what we're doing with the Tejas with 404 engines, we are right in the middle of probably what matters most... The US and India enjoy a very strong relationship. So we are here, we want to be supportive.
