Vijay Kedia's poetic response to Operation Sindoor: A stand for justice, leadership, and national strength
Vijay Kedia's words emphasize that the operation was a necessary response to terror, focused on justice rather than retribution.
Synopsis Following India's Operation Sindoor, a response to the Pahalgam terror attacks, Pakistan's KSE-100 index plummeted by 5.5%. Vijay Kedia voiced his support for India's actions through a poetic tweet. In contrast, Indian equity markets demonstrated resilience, with the BSE Sensex and Nifty50 recovering to positive territory after an initial dip. Ace investor Vijay Kedia shared a poignant tweet in response to India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted Pakistan in retaliation for the recent Pahalgam terror attacks. Through a poetic message, Kedia expressed his support for India's actions, highlighting the country's strength and commitment to justice.
ADVERTISEMENT In his tweet, Kedia quoted a poetic verse that captures the emotional and strategic gravity of the situation:
"Pahalgam cried — and India rose with flame,Operation Sindoor struck in the enemy's name."
The mention of Pahalgam, a peaceful region in Jammu and Kashmir, symbolises the pain caused by terrorism. The "flame" signifies India's determination to retaliate with power and precision, showcasing not just military strength but also the country's resolve to protect its sovereignty.Kedia continued with a strong declaration:
"This isn't revenge - it's justice that flies —
When terror dares, a soldier replies."
ADVERTISEMENT Kedia's words emphasise that the operation was a necessary response to terror, focused on justice rather than retribution.
In his poem, Kedia also highlights India's leadership in handling such crises. The lines:
ADVERTISEMENT "Announced a drill, but delivered a storm —That's how justice takes form.Backed by leadership, quiet and firm —
Action, not noise, is India's new norm." This reflects the essence of Operation Sindoor: a carefully executed, decisive response that prioritised substance over unnecessary rhetoric. Kedia suggests that under current leadership, India chooses action over noise, embodying the nation's resolve to act decisively while maintaining strategic silence.

Back in public eye: Madhya Pradesh minister who put party in a spot with remarks on Col Sofiya Qureshi
After his remarks on Operation Sindoor caused an uproar, Madhya Pradesh Tribal Welfare Minister Vijay Shah made his first public appearance in 17 days when he visited the family of a rape-murder victim in Khandwa. Shah was booked by the Madhya Pradesh Police last month after saying in a public meeting in Mhow on May 11 that India taught a lesson to those responsible for the Pahalgam terror attack using 'their own sister'. While he did not name anyone, it has been alleged that he was alluding to Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, who had briefed the media when Operation Sindoor was underway. The minister is now under investigation by a Supreme Court-ordered special investigation team (SIT), and had not been seen in public until May 28, when he visited the grieving family of a woman who was gangraped and murdered in Khandwa district's Khalwa region. Both the Madhya Pradesh High Court and the Supreme Court have reprimanded the minister for his statement, and Shah has apologised for the comments three times. The ruling BJP went into damage control mode, and the central leadership of the party is yet to take a call on Shah's future. While his visit to Khandwa on May 28 marks his first public outing since the backlash, he did not speak to the media. Local BJP sources said Shah spent over two hours with the victim's family and promised both financial support and systemic interventions. He reportedly handed over a Rs 60,000 cheque, committed to building a tin roof for the family's house, and promised further financial assistance, sources said. 'He also said that a young girl in the family who had dropped out of school would be re-enrolled. Monthly monitoring meetings are to be initiated in the area to track school dropouts,' a BJP leader said. The Opposition Congress had launched a sarcastic 'missing minister' campaign, plastering posters across Indore and Bhopal with his photograph and a mock reward of Rs 11,000 for anyone who could find him. During this period, Shah skipped the special Cabinet meeting in the historic Rajwada palace to commemorate regional icon, Ahilyabai Holkar, on May 20 and another special Cabinet meeting hosted in the scenic town of Pachmarhi on Tuesday, to honour tribal icon and freedom fighter, Raja Bhabhoot Singh. Shah had also skipped the 300th birth anniversary events of Ahilyabai Holkar, for which Prime Minister Narendra Modi had arrived in Bhopal on May 31. The Supreme Court has extended the operation of its interim order protecting Shah from arrest. It also closed the suo motu proceedings pending before the Madhya Pradesh High Court as it is already seized of the matter. The SIT had submitted its report to the Supreme Court, which contained investigation details like forensic evidence, and sought more time for the probe.

Stocks to trade today: Trade Brains Portal recommends two stocks for 4 June
Stock market today: Indian stock markets extended their losing streak for a third straight session on Tuesday, 3 June, as weak global cues, stretched valuations, and persistent foreign capital outflows weighed on investor sentiment. The Sensex opened at 81,492.50, slightly higher than its previous close of 81,373.75, but soon tumbled nearly 800 points—or 1%—to hit an intraday low of 80,575.09. The Nifty 50 followed a similar trajectory, opening at 24,786.30 versus the previous close of 24,716.60, before slipping to an intraday low of 24,502.15, also down about 1%. By the close, the Sensex had shed 636 points, or 0.78%, to end at 80,737.51, while the Nifty 50 closed at 24,542.50, down 174 points, or 0.70%. Against this backdrop, Trade Brains Portal has recommended two stocks for 4 June—one from the IT solutions sector and the other from the housing finance sector. Current price : ₹ 758 : 758 Target price : ₹ 920 (16–24 months) : 920 (16–24 months) Stop-loss : ₹ 677 : 677 Why eMudhra is recommended: Established in 2008, eMudhra Ltd is a global organization enabling secure digital transformation through Trust services and identity-based solutions. As India's largest certifying authority, it has issued over 60 million digital identities and serves enterprise clients across more than 21 countries. Its customer base includes Fortune 100 companies and over 1,000 enterprises that rely on its identity, authentication, and paperless platforms for digital transformation initiatives. The company operates in two key segments: Enterprise Solutions, which contributes 80% of its revenue, and Trust Services, which accounts for the remaining 20%. eMudhra is uniquely positioned as the only Indian company offering a unified platform for identity, signing, cryptography, and certificate automation. It continues to lead the Indian market in the Trust Services segment, providing a wide range of digital certificates, including digital signature, SSL/TLS, and S/MIME certificates. In FY25, the company's international business grew 57.3% year-on-year, now contributing 62% of total revenue. eMudhra plans to expand further into the European Union in FY26. It also made strategic acquisitions in the U.S., including Ikon and Two95, to strengthen its presence and create cross-selling opportunities in the American market. Financially, eMudhra reported a total income of ₹ 527.8 crore in FY25, up 38.9% YoY, driven by strong global demand for its services and solutions. Adjusted EBITDA rose 15.7% YoY to ₹ 141.3 crore, with a 4-year CAGR of 35%. Adjusted PAT stood at ₹ 94.6 crore, up 17.3% YoY, with a robust margin of 17.9%. The company remains debt-free, with cash and cash equivalents of ₹ 188.56 crore as of FY25. Risk factors: However, the business is exposed to regulatory risk, as it relies on licences to issue digital certificates. Failure to comply with evolving guidelines or audit requirements in India or abroad could affect operations. Additionally, it faces competition from global players such as DigiCert, Entrust, Sectigo, and GlobalSign across various digital certificate offerings.

Current price : ₹ 122 : 122 Target price : ₹ 150 (16–24 months) : 150 (16–24 months) Stop-loss : ₹ 108 : 108 Why Bajaj Housing Finance is recommended: A non-deposit-taking housing finance company registered with the National Housing Bank in 2015, Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd (BHFL) began operations in 2017. It offers a range of secured lending products including home loans, loans against property, lease rental discounting, and developer finance, with a focus on maintaining a low-risk, medium-return portfolio. In FY25, BHFL surpassed ₹ 1 lakh crore in assets under management (AUM), reaching ₹ 1,14,684 crore. Its AUM is well-diversified: home loans make up 56.2%, lease rental discounting 19.1%, developer finance 12.5%, loans against property 10.7%, and other segments the remaining 1.5%. The company now operates 216 branches across 174 locations in 22 states. Since FY18, BHFL's AUM has grown at a staggering 64% CAGR. Total income in FY25 rose 25.7% YoY to ₹ 9,576 crore, while loan disbursements increased 25% YoY to ₹ 14,254 crore. Profit after tax for the year stood at ₹ 2,163 crore, also up 25%. The operating expense (OPEX) ratio has improved dramatically—from 74.6% in FY18 to 20.8% in FY25—reflecting strong cost control. Return on equity has strengthened to 13.4% in FY25 from 7.8% in FY21. Asset quality remains robust, with gross NPAs at just 0.11% and a provision coverage ratio of 60%. Net interest margin remains healthy and stable at 4% in Q4FY25. Looking ahead, management has guided for 24–26% AUM growth over the medium term. The OPEX ratio is expected to fall further to 14–15%, and ROE is projected to improve to 13–15%. GNPA levels are expected to remain within 40–60 basis points. Leverage, currently at 5.2x, is targeted to increase to 7–8x, while the debt-to-equity ratio stood at 4.1x in FY25. BHFL plans to invest aggressively in its Strategic Business Units and expand into non-metro markets in FY26 to sustain its growth momentum. Risk factors. The housing finance industry is highly competitive, especially in the affordable housing space. BHFL could face pressure on lending margins and market share if it is forced to lower rates. Additionally, the company faces geographic concentration risk, with a significant portion of its business concentrated in four states and the New Delhi region.
