Pakistani Accounts Misquote Jaishankar's Op Sindoor Statement: Indian Govt Does Fact Check
The Centre said the claim made by Pakistani accounts is misleading and only a part of EAM S Jaishankar's full statement during an interview with an American news publication
Pakistani accounts have misquoted External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's statement on the interaction between India and US over Operation Sindoor.
The central government did a fact check to counter the false claims being made by these social media accounts on X. These state that on May 9, the United States had warned Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Pakistan would launch a major attack unless certain conditions were accepted. Following this, India immediately accepted these conditions, the accounts claimed.
In one of the Pakistani accounts run by Mansoor Ahmed Qureshi, a post that has been shared over 400 times mentioned: 'India's own FM confessed: 'On May 9, the US warned PM Modi that Pakistan would launch a major attack unless certain conditions were accepted." India accepted – immediately. So who blinked first?"
The Centre said this claim is misleading and is only a part of Jaishankar's full statement during an interview with an American news publication.
'This claim is misleading! This is only a part of his full statement," the government said in a post on X via a fact check conducted by the Press Information Bureau (PIB).

The government said Jaishankar, during the interview, said Modi told the US that if Pakistan attacked India, there will be a response. And the next day, following India's 'massive response" US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called him to inform him that Pakistan was ready to talk.
'During the interview with Newsweek, EAM Dr S Jaishankar said that Prime Minister told US 'if Pakistan launched an attack on India, there would be a response from us! EAM also said, the next morning, following India's massive response, 'Mr. Rubio called me up and said the Pakistanis were ready to talk'," the post on X said.

RSS discusses role in crises, war-like drills
NEW DELHI: Rashtriya Swayam-sevak Sangh ( RSS ) Friday discussed the role its cadre could play in war-like situations and during preparedness drills such as civil defence exercises planned around Operation Sindoor . On the opening day of its three-day all-India Prant Pracharak meeting in Delhi, the Sangh also took up atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh and Bengal, exploring ways to raise these concerns with the govt and other forums. The meeting is reviewing organisational progress and finalising plans for centenary year celebrations from Oct 2. Participants reflected on RSS's history of stepping in during crises, including the 1962 war when swayamsevaks regulated traffic in Delhi and supplied relief at Nehru's request. About 233 functionaries, including heads of 32 affiliates, are attending. RSS will organise social harmony meetings, and outreach campaigns, said publicity chief Sunil Ambekar.

‘Naxalism confined to just five, six districts', says Defence Minister Rajnath Singh
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday (July 4, 2025) declared that Maoism is now confined to just five to six districts in the country and even in such places, it will not continue for a long time. The Maoist hubs have been transformed into educational hubs. The area known as Red Corridor is now rapidly changing into a growth corridor, he said, speaking at the 128th birth anniversary celebrations of freedom fighter Alluri Sitarama Raju organised by Kshatriya Seva Samiti (TG & AP) and Union Ministry of Culture. Mr. Singh said the government has taken a decision that by March 31 next year, the entire country would be maoist-free. Referring to Operation Sindoor, he emphasised that only terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan was targeted, avoiding civil or military establishments, and adhering to ethical principles. He lauded Sitarama Raju, the legendary freedom fighter from Andhra Pradesh, as an embodiment of courage, duty and 'karma'. Similarily, the country's brave soldiers demonstrated courage, duty and 'karma' in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, he said. Quoting from Ramayan, he said, during 'Lanka Dahan', Lord Hanuman hit only those who hit him. Similarly, the country demonstrated courage during Operation Sindoor and targeted only terror structures in Pakistan and not civilian or military establishments, he said. "I would also like to say, if any such mischief (Pahalgam terror attack) takes place in future, we will give befitting to reply to terrorism with the same strength," he said. The life of Sitarama Raju, who hails from Andhra Pradesh, is also an example of social unity, he said. Mr. Singh said new technology, infrastructure development and digital revolution are very much needed for development in the context of a 'New India', but it is the "cultural soul" which can keep the country united. He affirmed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is working to realise the vision of Sitarama Raju on tribal development through various central initiatives. The tenet of 'Viksit Bharat', he explained, involves taking pride in its cultural heritage, while upholding constitutional values and being inspired by the dreams of the youth. Mr. Singh also urged everyone to take the life of Sitarama Raju to every school and home. Speaking on the occasion, Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said Sitarama Raju, in the short span of his life (less than 30 years), stood as an inspiration and his memory makes the countrymen feel proud. Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy, Karnataka Minister Bose Raju, former Union Minister P Ashok Gajapati Raju and other leaders were present on the occasion.
