Pakistan has become safe haven for terrorists: Chhattisgarh Deputy CM Arun Sao
Sao added that India's all-party delegation will convey this truth to the international community.
'Pakistan is trying to spread terrorism in India and across the world. The Pahalagam attack and the attendance of top military officials and other leaders at the funeral of the terrorists killed in Operation Sindoor conducted by India prove that Pakistan has become a safe haven for terrorists,' Sao told ANI.
'To reveal this truth of Pakistan in front of the world, the all-party delegation will go to various countries,' he added.
Meanwhile, defence expert Sanjeev Srivastava on Monday said that Pakistan, a country known as an 'epicentre of terrorism', cannot influence the international community by sending delegations to different nations and international forums to justify its stance on the recent military conflict with India.
'There are reports that Pakistan is going to send a delegation abroad, and naturally, they are copying India, which is sending seven delegations to different countries to expose their (Pakistan's) lies and explain Operation Sindoor. This move by Pakistan, mirroring India, is not going to have any effect on the international platform,' Srivastava told ANI.
He said that Pakistan has no credibility in fighting terrorism, pointing out that the al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was found hiding in Pakistan, and that many of the UN-designated terrorists live in that country with impunity.
'Pakistan is a nation where the world's most dangerous terrorist, Osama bin Laden, was found hiding and was eventually killed in a US Special Operation. It is also a nation where more than half of the United Nations-designated terrorists live. It is known as an epicentre of terrorism. They use terrorists as a strategic asset. As such, Pakistan's credibility is very low,' he said.
Srivastava said that India has been able to counter the disinformation campaign by Pakistan following the Operation Sindoor, adding that all party delegations that are soon going to India's different partner countries will be effective in this regard.
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, JDU leader Sanjay Kumar Jha, BJP leader Baijayant Panda, DMK leader Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule, and Shiv Sena leader Shrikant Eknath Shinde will be leading the seven delegations which will go across the world.
The All-Party Delegations will project India's national consensus and resolute approach to combating terrorism in all forms and manifestations. They would carry forth the country's strong message of zero tolerance against terrorism to the world. Members of Parliament from different parties, prominent political personalities, and distinguished diplomats will be part of each delegation.
The tour is expected to last 10 days and is likely to commence on May 23. (ANI)

Indian Army's 'Rudra' all-arms brigades reflect change, not rehash
While building on earlier initiatives such as the Integrated Battle Group concept, experts emphasise that the shift should be recognised as a distinct evolution Bhaswar Kumar New Delhi Listen to This Article The Indian Army's reorganisation into new frontline formations — the 'Rudra' all-arms brigades, 'Bhairav' light commando battalions, and 'Shaktibaan' artillery regiments — marks the latest stage in a two-decade effort to reshape land warfare. This aims to shorten the interval between political decision-making and military action, and to respond to the 'new normal' established by Operation Sindoor and doctrinal changes by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA). While building on earlier initiatives such as the Integrated Battle Group (IBG) concept, experts stress this is a distinct evolution — aligning force structure, technology, logistics, command and control, and doctrine to create an

BJP MLA Demands UPs Ghazipur Be Named After Seer Parashurams Son
Ballia: BJP MLA from Bansdih Assembly constituency, Ketki Singh, on Monday urged the Centre and the state government to rename Ghazipur after Maharishi Gautam, the father of Maharishi Parashuram. She said she has written a letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in this regard. "All such names that remind us of our times of disgrace, which have been kept to glorify the invaders and praise them, all such names should be removed, and the birthplace of great men should be named after them. I want that Ghazipur district's name should be changed," Ketki Singh told reporters at her residence in Bansdih. The MLA claimed that the history of Ghazipur is close to Maharishi Gautam, and cited that the district's name must be changed as Allahabad was renamed Prayagraj. "Changing the name will inspire the coming generation. How can a country that forgets its history build its future? If you forget your origin, you will never be able to build a future," she said. "We have read that Akbar was great. Such was his greatness that it has been written on the dead bodies of lakhs of Hindus," said the 41-year-old.

Govt mulls fresh proposal, technical panel for Bhubaneswar Metro
Bhubaneswar: A fresh proposal is under consideration for Bhubaneswar Metro Rail project, with the state govt planning to form a technical committee to study the best practices in the metro system and implement the same in the city. Speaking to the media, housing and urban development minister Krushna Chandra Mahapatra said on Thursday that the new technical committee will have members from the department as well as metro rail experts. "We have reviewed the metro project and made some important decisions. A committee with the department secretary and other members will be formed, which will provide plans for the new route and other modalities for the project," Mahapatra said. The minister said the previous plan was not feasible. "The route in the previous plan was not suitable for the project. Even a minor soil testing on the stretch had led to massive traffic chaos," he added. Mahapatra said a fresh proposal will be made and sent to the Centre for approval. "Bhubaneswar Metro will be executed under a Centre-state partnership. Committee members will visit other cities to understand the best practices," Mahapatra said. Bhubaneswar Metro Rail project, originally planned during BJD rule, has undergone significant changes under the current BJP govt. Plans to extend the route to Orissa high court and that of an underground metro were also announced. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
