India-US ties 'very solid', tariff row should be resolved: Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said it's in the best interest of both India and the United States to resolve their ongoing tariff dispute, adding that the foundation of the relationship between the two nations remains 'very solid'.In an interaction with visiting Indian journalists in Jerusalem, Netanyahu struck a tone of quiet confidence as he backed India's growing strategic and economic ties with the US -- even as US President Donald Trump's recent move to impose a 50% tariff on Indian goods has caused fresh is a basic understanding in the relationship between India and the US,' Netanyahu said. 'The basis is very solid. It will be in the interest of both countries to arrive at common ground and resolve the tariff issue.' The Israeli leader, who counts both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Trump as 'terrific friends,' said he might offer Modi some private advice on navigating the issue. 'Yes, I would give Modi some advice (on dealing with Trump), but privately,' he also made a strong pitch for deepening defence and tech cooperation between India and Israel, revealing that Israeli military equipment had proven itself during Operation Sindoor, which he described as a real-world validation of Israel's battlefield-tested technologies.'We don't develop weapons in labs alone -- we test them in battle. The equipment we provided India worked well during Operation Sindoor. Our defence partnership is on a pretty solid foundation,' he also stressed the importance of intelligence-sharing and surveillance tech, areas where Israel is known to have advanced capabilities. 'India is a huge country. It's not easy to monitor every corner. We are ready to help with air surveillance systems and data screening,' he also expressed a personal desire to visit India soon -- 'I miss India,' he said -- and advocated for direct flights between Tel Aviv and Bengaluru.

Kids to hoist tricolour as BJP aims to counter PDA pathshala
Lucknow: In a strategic counter to Samajwadi Party's 'PDA pathshala', the BJP has asked its functionaries to get tricolour hoisted by children during the upcoming 'Tiranga Yatra' scheduled to be carried out by the party from Aug 10-15 as part of Independence Day celebrations . In a communique sent to all regional presidents, district in charges and district presidents, state BJP vice-president Manvendra Singh said that the party functionaries should try to get a tricolour hoisted in maximum possible households across the state. "Wherever possible, get it done by children," Singh said. BJP sources said that the party has tasked its functionaries to hoist at least 500 tricolours in each of the 1.6 lakh polling booths. The campaign will essentially be carried out with the help of Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM) and Mahila Morcha of the BJP. UP BJYM state general secretary Varun Goyal affirmed that the campaign will be carried out even more aggressively in areas where the SP has attempted to set up 'PDA pathshalas' to "influence" the tender minds of children. "We will counter the opposition's casteist approach with a nationalist narrative," he said, asserting that the yuva morcha would reach out to the students in schools and colleges across the state. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 100% Online, Flexible Learning BITS Pilani Digital Apply Now Undo The development comes days after a SP functionary Farhad Alam initiated a PDA pathshala in Saharanpur where children were taught lessons like 'A' for Akhilesh Yadav, 'B' for Babasaheb Ambedkar, 'C' for Chaudhary Charan Singh, 'D' for Dimple Yadav and 'M' for Mulayam Singh Yadav. The development stung the BJP with the party state president Bhupendra Chaudhary terming it a conspiracy to mix political poison in the tender consciousness of children. He termed it as an attempt of "Samajwadi brainwash". Analysts said that BJP's choice of children for hoisting the national flag was more of a symbolic retort to SP's PDA pathshala which sought to indoctrinate the children with the names of prominent party leaders besides Dalit and OBC figures. A political expert said that the BJP intended to depict the party as promoting "national pride" over caste identity. BJP's goal of unfurling 500 tricolours at each of the 1.6 lakh polling booths also reflected its trademark booth-level micro-management strategy. The move, analysts said, was less about symbolism and more about mass contact and visibility, which can bolster supporters' loyalty. Singh's letter also makes an open reference to the success of 'Operation Sindoor' which was carried out in May post the Apr 22 attack in Pahalgam in which 26 people, primarily tourists, were killed by terrorists. "This is a new, prosperous and powerful self-reliant India under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi. Every proud Indian celebrated the success of Operation Sindoor with a tricolour in hand," he said. Singh also referred to Modi's description of the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament as one dedicated to the victory of Indian military which destroyed the terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) besides targeting Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen facilities.
