Pakistani dossier claims India hit more places. Propaganda?
While there has been a halt to hostilities between India and Pakistan following the May 10 truce, Islamabad seems to not have ceased what it does best: spreading propaganda. A dossier released by Pakistan, accessed by India Today, reveals India struck more places during Operation Sindoor that were not previously disclosed by Indian defence authorities. However, the devil lies in the details.advertisementThe dossier contains maps showing Indian strikes at key cities like Peshawar, Attock, Gujrat, Jhang, Bahawalnagar, Hyderabad, Chhor - locations that were not publicly mentioned by the armed forces during their press briefings. Some sites like Peshawar and Attock are over 1,000 km and 700 km away from the Line of Control.
It begs a question. Why would Pakistan make public that India struck more sites than claimed?The broader objective might be to paint before the global community that India targeted civilian areas deep inside Pakistan. The dossier, however, does not mention if the targeted sites were civilian areas or military infrastructure.If the sites were military bases, it sheds new light on the depth of India's attack, making it abundantly clear why Pakistan reached out for a ceasefire on May 10.advertisementThe armed forces have mentioned on several occassions that they operated with precision to avoid civilian casualties. "Locations were selected to avoid damage to civilian infrastructure and loss of any civilian lives," the forces said.The dossier specifically lists that only four air bases were targeted - Murid, Rafiqui, Masroor, and Samungli.However, high-resolution commercial satellite images have shown damage to 11 military sites struck by India, including Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Parur, Chunian, Sargodha, Rahim Yar Khan, Bholari, Jacobabad, and Gujranwala.During the three-day hostilities, India also struck a radar site in Lahore, destroying an air defence system, and targeted the missile site at Malir Cantonment in Karachi. Malir Cantt is a military base about 35 km from the main Karachi city.Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt. General Rajiv Ghai has stated that around 35-40 Pakistani military personnel were killed during Operation Sindoor.India has also released video evidence of the nine terror camps it destroyed when it launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack. The sites include the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur and the Lashkar-e-Taiba training centre in Muridke.Must Watch

Influencer Sharmishta Panoli Gets Interim Bail From Calcutta High Court
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Sharmishta Panoli, a 22-year-old influencer from Kolkata, was granted interim bail after her arrest over a controversial post. A case has also been filed against the complainant, Wajahat Khan Qadri. Kolkata: Sharmishta Panoli, the 22-year-old social media influencer from Kolkata arrested over a communally charged video linked to Operation Sindoor, has been granted interim bail by the Calcutta High Court. Ms Panoli was arrested on May 31, over two weeks after she made the controversial remarks in response to a post questioning India's military action after the Pahalgam attack. The interim bail comes a day after the Kolkata Police filed a first information report (FIR) against Wajahat Khan Qadri, the man whose complaint led to the arrest of Ms Panoli. Mr Qadri faces allegations of hurting religious sentiments. He is on the run, the police said. An Assam Police team has also reached Kolkata with an arrest warrant for Mr Qadri. The Assam Police filed a case against him earlier this week for posting content on social media that contained hate speech and derogatory remarks, which hurt religious sentiments. He was not found at his Kolkata house when the police team went there on Wednesday. Mr Khan also faces many cases in other states. Ms Panoli was arrested from Gurugram last week after her Instagram post drew protests. Her arrest sparked a political row, with the BJP and its allies targeting the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal. She was produced in court and sent to judicial custody for 14 days. Ms Panoli even received support from nearly 7,000 km away. Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament and the leader of the right-wing Party for Freedom, has said the influencer's arrest is a "disgrace for freedom of speech" and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure she is freed.

In the last year, two-wheeler sales have fallen by 17 per cent and car sales by 8.6 per cent. The mobile market has fallen by 7 per cent. On the other hand, both expenses and debt are constantly increasing: house rent, domestic inflation, education expenses, almost everything is becoming expensive," Gandhi said in his post in Hindi on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo — RahulGandhi (@RahulGandhi) These are not just figures, but the reality of the economic pressure under which every common Indian is suffering, he said.

MP Mahua Moitra gets married. Who is her husband Pinaki Misra
In a rare moment of quiet amid the high-octane world of Indian politics, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra has surprised everyone with a low-key wedding. The firebrand leader, known for her sharp speeches and fearless stance in Parliament, tied the knot on May 30 in what appears to have been a very private ceremony. No official announcement was made, and both the party and the Krishnagar MP have remained tight-lipped about the event. Mahua Moitra looked radiant as she was seen dressed in traditional attire and gold jewellery, smiling alongside her husband, Pinaki Misra . According to the Telegraph, she tied the knot in Germany. So, who is Pinaki Misra? Misra is no stranger to Indian politics. A senior advocate in the Supreme Court, he first entered Parliament in 1996 from Puri on a Congress ticket. An alumnus of Delhi's prestigious St. Stephen's College and a law graduate from Delhi University , Misra later shifted political gears and joined the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), returning to the Lok Sabha from the same constituency in 2009. He served as the MP from Puri for three consecutive terms—2009, 2014, and 2019—before stepping back from the political spotlight ahead of the 2024 elections. The 64-year-old lawyer-politician also has a son and a daughter from a previous marriage. About Mahua Moitra Mahua Moitra is a politician and a former investment banker, and has carved a distinct space in Indian politics with her bold speeches. Moitra served as an MLA from Karimpur before winning the Krishnanagar Lok Sabha seat in 2019 as a Trinamool Congress candidate.
