Aam Aadmi Party formally quits INDIA bloc alliance
In a major world exclusive, fresh intelligence inputs accessed by India Today reveal that India's most wanted terrorist, Masood Azhar, has been located in Skardu, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This is over a thousand kilometres from his known stronghold in Bahawalpur. The development contradicts recent claims by Pakistan's former foreign minister, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who suggested Azhar might be in Afghanistan. The report also details the whereabouts of other designated terrorists, including Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin, who is believed to be operating from Islamabad. The intelligence provides specific locations, countering Pakistan's narrative on terrorists. A key part of the report states, "Bilawal Bhutto Jardari has the evidence. This is your person. This is the location. You had promised that you will be willing... to arrest Masood Azhar... This is where you can find him."

Revealed: Not Chinese J-35 Jets, But a ‘Ghost Weapon' – Pakistan Air Force's Most Dangerous Plan Under Munir
New Delhi: In the days following the bruising military clash between India and Pakistan from May 7 to 10, something changed deep within Pakistan's military command. At the centre of this change lies not a fighter jet, not even the Chinese-made J-35s the media speculated about, but something quieter. Something Pakistan does not want anyone to see. Not yet. What began as whispers has now taken shape through a revealing report by Quwa, a Pakistan-based defense analysis platform. And it points to something far more ambitious than buying more jets. Pakistan's next big leap may not be in the skies, but in the shadows. The report details a high-stakes project brewing inside Pakistan's Air Force – an invisible defense network designed to outthink and outpace future threats. The system is not about raw speed or firepower. It is about sensing danger before it strikes and responding in ways the enemy cannot detect. Senior Pakistani defense planners are now convinced that the future of air dominance will not be won with just wings and missiles. It will depend on how fast information flows, and how silently. The plan is to build a dispersed network that ties together hundreds of sensors, drones, radars and data relays, all communicating with each other like nerves in a living body. A network that does not shout or blink, just watches, calculates and acts. At the core of this strategy lies one of Pakistan Air Force's most difficult tests, which is how to stay invisible in a world flooded with electromagnetic noise. In any modern war, electromagnetic attacks, radio jamming, data interception and signal disruption, are likely to be the first wave. And it is in that chaos that this invisible grid must not just survive, but lead. The ambition goes beyond simply dodging detection. Military engineers are working on a next-generation Tactical Data Link (TDL), a digital nervous system for war. It is more than a tool. It is a language, one that could allow pilots, ground units and command centers to think as one, even under the fog of war. As one Pakistani analyst observed, what Pakistan is building is not only an upgrade, it is a rewriting of the rules. A defense system that breathes. A force that speaks in silence. And as Pakistan absorbs the lessons of Operation Sindoor, its eyes are not just on India's jets, but on the invisible battlefield in between.

Masterstroke by Modi govt as India fast-tracks construction of new road along LAC that will make China 'blind' to Indian troops due to...
New Delhi: Following the Galwan Valley clash in 2020 amid a border standoff with China, India has fast-tracked the construction of the new road. Additionally, to boost border infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), an alternate route to the strategic Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) sector in Ladakh, will be ready next year which will be free of surveillance by Chinese soldiers. It will reduce travel time drastically The 130-km-long new route, via Sasoma-Saser La-Saser Brangsa-Gapshan-DBO, will be a secure and faster alternative to the existing Darbuk-Shyok-DBO (DSDBO) road, which is vulnerable to Chinese surveillance, reports India Today. It further says that the travel time will be down from 2 days to 12 hours as the new road, being built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), will reduce the distance from Leh to DBO by 79 km, reducing the commuting time drastically. How will it help Indian troops? This will not only allow India to mobilise troops without being exposed to Chinese observation, but will smoothen logistics movement in the critical border area. The world's highest airstrip at 16,614 feet is located at Daulat Beg Oldie. It holds immense strategic value due to its proximity to the Karakoram Pass and the contentious Depsang region. BRO upgrades bridges Defence sources said the BRO has upgraded nine bridges on the new route from 40-tonne to 70-tonne load capacity to facilitate the movement of heavier vehicles and artillery. Trials with Bofors and other systems have already been conducted successfully. The road originates from Sasoma in the Nubra Valley, close to the Siachen base camp. It will allow direct connectivity to DBO without needing to cross Leh. BRO's 'Project Vijayak' is undertaking the construction from Sasoma to Saser Brangsa, while 'Project Himank' is looking after the project to DBO. The total estimated budget is Rs 500 crore.

Pahalgam attack debate timing sparks uproar in both Houses of Parliament
New Delhi: The opening day of the monsoon session on Monday saw uproar in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, with repeated disruptions over the Opposition's demand for an immediate discussion on the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor . In the Lok Sabha, proceedings were adjourned twice in the first half as Opposition members trooped into the Well, shouting slogans for an urgent debate. Speaker Om Birla's repeated appeals to allow Question Hour failed, forcing adjournments till noon and then till 2 pm. Parliamentary affairs minister Kiran Rijiju assured members that the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) would decide the debate schedule in the afternoon. Defence minister Rajnath Singh added, "I assure the parliamentarians, whenever the Speaker allots time, we are ready to participate in the discussions they want."

"The defence minister is allowed to speak, but Opposition members, including me, are not allowed. This is a new approach... Convention states that if people from the government side can speak, then we should also be given space," he said. BJP MP Aparajitha Sarangi dismissed the charge as "totally baseless," saying Gandhi would get his turn when a structured discussion is initiated. Some Opposition MPs expressed concern that the government would use the debate to glorify Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the armed forces for Operation Sindoor while indulging in Pakistan-bashing. While the government indicated a 16-hour debate next week-after PM Modi's return from a foreign tour-the Congress wanted it scheduled as early as Tuesday. The Congress leadership faced internal differences over strategy. While it had demanded in Sunday's all-party meeting that the PM must reply to the debate, other Opposition parties like RJD preferred to raise different issues this week. It was decided that on Tuesday, the Opposition would also highlight concerns over the special intensive revision (SIR) of Bihar's voter rolls and stage a protest outside Parliament. Live Events In the Rajya Sabha, similar scenes played out with sloganeering and ruckus over the same demand. Leader of the House JP Nadda stressed that the government was "fully prepared to discuss Operation Sindoor and all aspects of it will be placed before the country and the world." Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge demanded an immediate discussion under Rule 267, saying, "The government should tell us about Pahalgam and Operation Sindoor." Some MPs, including RJD's Manoj Jha, also sought a debate on the voters' list revision in Bihar.
