'We are a nuclear nation, if we think we are going down, we'll take half the world down with us,' reports quoted Asim Munir as saying at the event in Tampa. 'Direct threat to Trump', says Congress Backing Operation Sindoor and the Indian and the Indian Army, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari said on Asim Munir's statement, 'We are very proud of our Indian army. Pakistan has been exposed. Now the whole world knows what intention Pakistan have. So the world should wake up. Those who do not support India on 'Operation Sindoor' should also wake up.' "We are confident that we will protect India, but this is a direct threat to Trump and Russia. Is the person who has threatened to destroy half the world worthy of sitting and eating lunch with you? Are you entertaining him? This is a dangerous statement. The United Nations Security Council should take cognisance of this," Tiwari said, speaking to ANI news agency. Another Congress MP, Sukhdeo Bhagat, said India knows its power, its limitations, and how to respond, adding that Munir's statement also threatens Donald Trump. "The clouds that thunder do not rain. India knows its power, its limitations, and how to respond. The way he (Asim Munir) is making all these statements while in America also threatens Trump. Speaking such violent words, and with Trump currently trying to portray himself as a peace messenger, raises the question of what Trump will say. Therefore, Trump should consider these things. India does not need to worry about them. India is capable of giving answers...," Sukhdeo Bhagat said. Addressing the Pakistani diaspora in Florida's Tampa, Asim Munir also repeated is anti-India rhetoric, saying "Kashmir is the jugular vein" of Pakistan". Weeks before the April 22 Pahalgam attack, Munir said Pakistan will not forget the issue of Kashmir, asserting, "It was our jugular vein." Trashing his comments, India had said, "How can anything foreign be in a jugular vein? This is a union territory of India. Its only relationship with Pakistan is the vacation of illegally occupied territories by that country."

Parliament Monsoon Session Live Updates: Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha adjourned till 2pm
Parliament Monsoon Session Live Updates: Opposition MPs from both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are scheduled to march on Monday from Makar Dwar in Parliament to the Election Commission's office at Nirvachan Sadan, starting at 11:30 am and passing via Transport Bhawan. The Delhi Police have said no permission has been sought for the proposed INDIA bloc protest march, which aims to highlight concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar and alleged 'voter fraud' in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. On Sunday, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh claimed the bloc's MPs had already marched to the EC to register their protest. At a press conference, he alleged, 'All the Booth Level Officers (BLOs) were filling out 'fake forms' in one room,' and accused the poll body of rushing a process that took two years in 2003 into just one month this time. He further said Rahul Gandhi had presented 'facts that no one could deny,' including instances where 'the name of one person appeared at multiple locations, including polling booths,' and had demanded electronic voter list data to detect duplicate votes. Meanwhile, the Lok Sabha has a busy schedule on Monday, starting at 11 am with question hour, followed by the laying of papers on the table by ministers from various departments. These include Gajendra Singh Shekhawat (Culture), Jayant Chaudhary (Education), Pankaj Chaudhary (Finance), Kirtivardhan Singh (Environment, Forest and Climate Change), and Sukanta Majumdar (Education). Multiple committee reports, ministerial statements, and legislative business are also on the agenda.

Sanjay Raut writes to Amit Shah, seeks info on ex-VP Dhankhar's whereabouts
Raut said in his letter that rumours are circulating in Delhi that Dhankhar has been confined to his residence and is reportedly not safe ANI General News Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, seeking information about the whereabouts of former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. "What exactly has happened to our Vice President (Jagdeep Dhankhar)? Where is he? How is his health? Is he safe? The nation deserves to know the truth about these questions," Raut said in his letter. Dhankhar resigned from his post on July 21, citing health reasons. Multiple Opposition leaders have repeatedly raised questions over the resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar, claiming that the former VP might have been forced to resign due to differences between leaders. Raut said in his letter that rumours are circulating in Delhi that Dhankhar has been confined to his residence and is reportedly not safe. "On July 21, the Parliament session commenced. At 11 a.m., Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice President Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar initiated the proceedings. During the session, he appeared normal and conducted the session in a usual manner," Raut wrote. "There was a verbal altercation between him and the Leader of the Opposition, Mallikarjun Kharge, after which the House proceedings were adjourned for the day. This suggests that the Chairman's health was fine at that time. However, after 6 p.m. on the same day, it was announced that the Vice President had resigned from his post, citing health reasons. This was shocking for everyone," he added. He said that what is even more shocking and disturbing is the fact that from July 21 till today, there has been no information about the whereabouts of Dhankhar. "What is his current location? How is his health? There is no clarity on these matters," he said. Raut claimed that some members of the Rajya Sabha attempted to contact Dhankhar but were unsuccessful. "There has been no communication with him or his staff, which is a matter of grave concern," he said. "In fact, some colleagues from the Rajya Sabha are even contemplating filing a writ petition of Habeas Corpus in the Supreme Court, as we are genuinely worried about the whereabouts of Dhankar and whether he is safe and healthy." "Before knocking on the doors of the Supreme Court, I thought it to be prudent to seek this information from you. I hope you will understand my sentiments and provide genuine information regarding Shri. Dhankhar's current whereabouts, his safety, and health," he said. Earlier on Saturday, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal said that the whereabouts of former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar have not been known since his resignation and demanded that Union Home Minister Amit Shah issue a statement on the matter. "After his resignation, we do not know anything about his whereabouts. I had previously heard about the 'Laapataa Ladies,' but this is the first time I have heard about the 'Laapataa' vice president," Sibal told reporters.
