Pakistan claims terror network 'dismantled', denies LeT link to Pahalgam attack
The Foreign Office made the remarks in a statement, a day after the U.S. designated The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the Pakistan-based terror outfit LeT, as a "foreign terrorist organisation" and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist for its involvement in the Pahalgam attack.
"Pakistan has effectively and comprehensively dismantled concerned outfits, arrested and prosecuted the leadership, and deradicalised its cadres,' the statement said.
Stating that the investigation into the Pahalgam attack is "still inconclusive," it said, "any linkage with LeT, a defunct organisation banned in Pakistan, belies ground realities".
The statement said Pakistan condemns terrorism in all forms and manifestations, has zero tolerance against terrorism, and it is the cornerstone of its policy to cooperate internationally against terrorism.
The TRF claimed responsibility for the Pahalgam attack, but later backtracked as tensions soared between India and Pakistan.

Rahul Gandhi speaks like "Leader of Pakistan," says BJP national spokesperson CR Kesavan
Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) national spokesperson CR Kesavan on Sunday launched a sharp attack on Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi , accusing him of echoing a "pro-Pakistan narrative" after the Congress leader questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over US President Donald Trump 's recent "five jets shot down" claim. He further stated that the Congress leader spoke like the "Leader of Pakistan."

Not the Leader of Opposition but the Leader of Pakistan, peddling a very toxic pro-Pakistan narrative and tarnishing the image of India and our army," Kesavan told ANI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo Labelling Rahul Gandhi's social media post as "pernicious and toxic", Kesavan said that the tweet demonstrated the Congress leader's lack of trust in the Indian Armed Forces . "Rahul Gandhi's pernicious, toxic tweet clearly demonstrates that Rahul Gandhi has no trust in our Indian Armed Forces. The tweet clearly shows that Rahul Gandhi's loyalty does not lie with India, and also Rahul Gandhi seems to be deriving a very sadistic pleasure in demeaning our brave defence personnel and defaming our nation... Rahul Gandhi currently got bail in a defamation case, allegedly for insulting the dignity of the Indian Army, and now he continues to ungratefully malign our armed forces..." Live Events Kesavan further claimed that while Trump's statement on jets nowhere mentioned India, Rahul Gandhi twisted and tried to humiliate the selfless valour of the Indian Army. "The tweet made by US President Trump had nowhere mentioned India's name. Rahul Gandhi has twisted and tried to humiliate the selfless valour of the Indian Army... he does not have belief in our own armed forces. His behaviour is condemnable. His dangerous anti-India campaign has caused outrage everywhere..." he added. Kesavan said such "anti-India campaigns" by Rahul Gandhi had triggered widespread outrage and added, "People of India will teach Rahul Gandhi a lesson..." The remarks came a day after Rahul Gandhi, in a post on X on July 19, questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding Trump's claims of having defused an escalation between India and Pakistan, during which "five ships were shot down." The post read, "Modi ji, what is the truth about the 5 ships? The country has the right to know!" This comes after Donald Trump once again claimed to have halted the escalation of the India-Pakistan conflict on Saturday.

'Trump before Trump': Orban's illiberal model on show in Hungary
BUDAPEST: At the American embassy in Budapest, the atmosphere has changed since US President Donald Trump was sworn in six months ago. "No more public scoldings. No more moralising from podiums," the new charge d'affaires Robert Palladino told guests, including several Hungarian ministers, at this month's US Independence Day celebration. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wants the European nation to serve as a laboratory of far-right ideas and an inspiration for Trump, whom the nationalist describes as "a great friend", and is hoping for a US presidential visit. Self-touted as a "Trump before Trump", Orban has transformed the national life of Hungary, an EU member and home to 9.5 million people, during his 15-year rule. In his drive to build what he has called an "illiberal state", he has been accused of silencing critical voices from the judiciary, academia, media and civil society, and of restricting minority rights. Trump's predecessor Joe Biden once accused him of "looking for dictatorship." 'Open-air museum' "Hungary is like an open-air museum, whose leader appears to have proved it is possible to bring back the so-called good old days," Zsolt Enyedi, a senior democracy researcher at Vienna-based Central European University, told AFP. "Illiberal ideas have been institutionalised," he added. Both Trump and Orban target minorities, including the LGBTQ community. "Orban realised there was not a strong public resistance to incitation against vulnerable groups... so he leveraged these to campaign," the researcher said. "Similarly, Trump deports people without going through due process as American conventions would dictate," Enyedi added.

NGT orders probe into illegal sand mining at Gunadei Brahmani river quarry
CUTTACK: The National Green Tribunal (NGT)'s east zone bench in Kolkata formed a fact-finding committee on Friday to investigate the allegations of illegal sand mining at Gunadei Brahmani river sand quarry in Dhenkanal. The order came in response to a petition filed by Talcher-based Youth United for Sustainable Environment Trust. The petition alleged large-scale violations of the Sustainable Sand Mining Management Guidelines, 2016, at the quarry, which spans 11.80 acre in Gunadei village under Odapada tehsil. The Trust claimed that the project was continuing operations illegally, without the necessary Environmental Clearance (EC) transfer and in violation of conditions attached to the original EC granted in favour of the tehsildar on March 30, 2021. The bench comprising Justice B Amit Sthalekar and Dr Arun Kumar Verma, issued notices to the state government, SEIAA, State Pollution Control Board, MoEF&CC, and the lessee. The five-member fact-finding committee has been tasked to investigate the site and submit a report within three weeks. In the order, the bench noted the EC was liable to be revoked after May 2022 if a satisfactory Annual Rate of Replenishment Study was not submitted, a condition that remains unmet.
