"Hum ghar mein ghus kar maarenge aur bachne ka ek mauka tak nahi denge": PM Modi
Speaking at the Adampur Air Base, PM Modi said, 'Hum ghar mein ghus kar maarenge aur bachne ka ek mauka tak nahi denge' (We will beat you inside your house, will not give you a chance to escape).
PM Modi travelled to Adampur Air Base in Jalandhar today and interacted with Air Warriors, days after the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan.
Praising the Indian Armed Forces on the astounding success of the Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Modi asserted that Indian defence forces have defeated the Pakistani army on which these terrorists were relying for their safety.
'The Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy have defeated the Pakistani Army, on which these terrorists were relying. There is no such place in Pakistan where terrorists can sit and breathe in peace,' the PM said.
Stating that India's policy against terrorism is 'crystal clear', the Prime Minister stated that Operation Sindoor is India's new normal and India will give a solid reply.
'India's 'Laxman Rekha' against terrorism is crystal clear now. If another terror attack occurs now, India will give a reply - a solid reply. We saw this during surgical strike, during air strike. Now, Operation Sindoor is India's new normal,' he said.
Prime Minister Modi reiterated the three key pillars of India's security doctrine - India will respond to a terrorist attack in its own way; it will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail; and it will not differentiate between terror-supporting governments and terror masterminds.
The PM said, 'Like I said yesterday, India has decided on three points. First, if there is a terrorist attack on India, we will give a reply in our way, on our terms, on our time. Second, India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. Third, we will not see terror-supporting governments and terror masterminds as separate entities. The world, too, is going ahead with understanding India's new form and system.'
On Monday, in a bold and unequivocal message to the nation following Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India will no longer tolerate nuclear blackmail and will respond to any terrorist attack with strict and decisive action.
'Operation Sindoor is now India's established policy in the fight against terrorism, marking a decisive shift in India's strategic approach', he declared, stating that the operation has set a new standard, a new normal in counter-terrorism measures.
In a first address to the nation since India's military retaliation 'Operation Sindoor,' PM Modi on Monday outlined three key pillars of India's security doctrine.
Firstly, the 'Decisive Retaliation,' any terrorist attack on India will be met with a strong and resolute response. India will retaliate on its terms, targeting terror hubs at their roots.
The second is 'No Tolerance for Nuclear Blackmail.' PM Modi said India will not be intimidated by nuclear threats. Any terrorist safe haven operating under this pretext will face precise and decisive strikes.
The third pillar is 'No distinction between terror sponsors and terrorists.' PM Modi said India will no longer see terrorist leaders and the governments sheltering them as separate entities. (ANI)

Yogi likens Opposition to frogs in a well, attacks it with Parivar Development Authority barb
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath presented his ambitious 'Vision-2047' for Uttar Pradesh in the legislative assembly on Thursday and attacked the Opposition, ridiculing the Samajwadi Party's PDA slogan as 'Parivar Development Authority.' Chief minister Yogi Adityanath addresses the UP Assembly on the fourth day of the Monsoon session in Lucknow on Thursday. (Deepak Gupta/HT Photo) Accusing the Opposition of fostering a family-centric political culture, he said they should not even dream of coming to power in 2027. The SP's PDA formula is an acronym for Pichda or backwards, Dalits and Alpsankhyak or minorities. 'Your PDA stands for Parivar Development Authority. Your vision is solely to grab power. How can those who imported Queen Victoria's carriage from Buckingham Palace talk about Swadeshi?' Yogi said, contrasting the governance from 1947-2017 with the work done during his tenure since 2017. In his marathon 2-hour 35-minute address, the chief minister likened the Opposition to frogs in a well. 'Swami Vivekananda called this mindset 'Koop Manduk'. The world is progressing, but you remain stuck in family politics. You've become a victim of the Family Development Authority and want to make the state a victim too,' he said. Accusing the Opposition of hypocrisy, he said, 'They talk about freedom, but practise slavery. Will those who wanted a memorial for Duryodhana respect Indian heritage?' Mentioning the encephalitis crisis in eastern UP in the past, he said, 'In 40 years, 50,000 children died, and the Samajwadi Party was in power four times. Who is responsible for those deaths?' Referring to the minimum support price (MSP) for crops and farmer issues, the CM said the Opposition only deceived farmers before 2017. 'You bought produce through middlemen. Today, under DBT, farmers receive direct benefits.' 'Leader of Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey is very old and experienced. When he speaks from his own discretion, he speaks correctly, but when he starts being driven by others, then there is a problem,' Adityanath said. 'How will those who tear the pages of Ramcharitmanas respect heritage? When you people can cheat the cow, then who will you not cheat? You used to drink cow's milk but used to leave them on the streets, used to hand them over to the butchers. Today, under the double engine government, cows have been kept in 7727 cow shelters. You definitely drank cow's milk, but did not do anything that can express gratitude towards the cow. The curse of the cow will drown you. That is why, do not dream of coming to power in 2027,' the chief minister said. The Uttar Pradesh assembly elections are due in 2027. Reading the lines from a poem by Pandit Shyam Narayan Pandey in front of Mata Prasad Pandey, Yogi said, 'Not every person can get the heritage of UP, this is the seat of Mahakaal, no one rules over it.' Continuing his attack on the Opposition, he said, 'A respected member of the Opposition was saying that the vision was theirs. Incomplete network and stagnant investment from 1947 to 2017 shows their vision.' He put the Opposition in the dock regarding the spirit of Swadeshi, the interests of entrepreneurs, the closure of industries before 2017 and the situation of migration in the state. 'You did pick and choose while giving the benefit of government schemes but for us, all people living in Uttar Pradesh are equal. If a head of state comes to meet me, I gift them ODOP products but you used Buckingham's carriage to celebrate Saifai Mahotsav and birthday in Rampur. This is your double character and vision,' the chief minister said in the assembly. Jibe at Shivpal The chief minister took a jibe at senior SP leader Shivpal Yadav during his speech in the assembly. 'Shivpal was the last in the party under the legacy of Mulayam Singh Yadav but even Chacha (Shivpal Yadav) was fooled,' he said. No enemy in politics The chief minister told the leader of Opposition to have good relations with deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak, who is also the state's health minister. Mentioning a medical college in Siddharthnagar, Yogi said, 'You (Mata Prasad) should call the deputy CM there sometime over lunch. One should not be an enemy at this age.' Citing health reasons, the chief minister further told Pandey, 'He (Pathak) can provide super speciality services when it is needed (by you).' 'We teach G for Ganesh, you…' Talking about education, Yogi said, 'We teach G for Ganesh and G for gamla (flower pot), you have taught the children of the state from G for donkey. You encouraged cheating in the examinations. Do not make innocent children a victim of the distorted thinking of your politics. When you came to power you said cheating is a birthright.' SP tagged as anti-women Taking a dig at the SP on the issue of women's safety, Adityanath said you people (Samajwadi Party) are openly branded as anti-women. 'Dekh Sapai Bitiya Ghabrai (daughters get scared if they see a SP member),' he said.

'Trump is hurt, humiliated... his best friend insulted him': Indian-origin Maga venture capitalist
Indian-origin MAGA venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani has listed five things Donald Trump wants from India, saying the US President feels 'hurt and humiliated' after the ceasefire row and could lower tariffs if ties improve. Indian-origin venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani has said that US President Donald Trump is 'hurt, humiliated and shocked' after feeling 'insulted' by a close ally over what she described as the 'ceasefire fiasco.' In a series of posts on social media platform X, Motwani, who has publicly aligned herself with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, urged India to extend warmth towards Trump to help mend ties, saying this could pave the way for a reduction in US tariffs on Indian goods. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Will Trump reduce the tariffs on India? Yes! But this is dependent on how fast we melt him,' she wrote, adding that India should project itself as a 'peacebuilder' between Russia and Ukraine and engage in proactive public relations in the West. She also suggested that major Indian business houses could announce investment commitments in the US ahead of Trump's expected visit for the Quad summit. Will trump reduce the tariffs on India? Yes! But this is dependent on how FAST we melt him. He is hurt, humiliated and shocked that his best friend insulted him in public on the ceasefire fiasco (justified or not). He will come around, but SHOW him the warmth that we genuinely… — Asha Jadeja Motwani 🇮🇳🇺🇸 (@ashajadeja325) August 13, 2025 In another post, Motwani claimed to know what Trump 'wants from India,' and listed five expectations: A massive investment pledge from India's top business houses, ranging from $100 billion to $500 billion, in the US economy. Closure of deals for the purchase of Stryker and Javelin defence systems. Increased energy imports from the US and reduced dependence on Russian crude. Public thanks to Trump for his 'behind-the-scenes work' on controlling Chinese military equipment and support in Pakistan. More overt friendliness towards Trump, with Indians being 'more expressive' to show their affection. Below is a list of things Trump wants from India. How do i know? It is up to you to guess. But before I list them, kudos to the Indians for moving in the right direction fast.. the announcement backing the Trump Putin talks is a great first step along with Modi's conversation… — Asha Jadeja Motwani 🇮🇳🇺🇸 (@ashajadeja325) August 13, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Motwani said these steps, along with 'niceness and agility,' could help bring US tariffs on Indian goods down to 'closer to 20%.' Ending her posts with 'Jai Hind' and blessings for both nations, she stressed: 'Be nice to Trump. He knows we love him, but we must show it more actively.' In another post, Motwani listed what she claimed were Trump's key expectations from India including a massive investment pledge from Indian conglomerates worth $100 billion to $500 billion in the US, closing deals on Stryker and Javelin defence systems, increasing US energy purchases, reducing reliance on Russian crude, and openly thanking Trump for behind-the-scenes support on China and Pakistan. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD She emphasised that being 'nice' to Trump and expressing affection more actively was essential. 'American culture is different from India. Be more expressive,' she said, ending her posts with 'Jai Hind' and blessings for both nations. President Trump earlier this month slapped 25 per cent additional tariff on India over the purchase of Russian oil. With this 25 per cent tariff, India will face at least 50 per cent tariffs among the highest in the world. This 25 per cent tariff over the purchase of Russian oil is on top of the 25 per cent tariff that Trump had previously imposed on India on July 31 as part of the broader rollout of tariffs on more than 60 countries.

A tryst with destiny: A girl in the gallery, a nation in the making
In her quiet Bengaluru home, author and educationist Sharada Nayak drifts back to a midnight 79 years ago, when the air was filled with hope, pride and promise of tomorrow. As Jawaharlal Nehru's 'Tryst with Destiny' echoed not only in the central hall of Parliament, but through the lengths and breaths of a young India, Ms. Nayak, only about 14-years-old then, was present in the Parliament. 'I still get goose pimples thinking about it,' says the 93-year-old who believes she might be one of the last persons living to have attended the ceremony. Witnessing history Ms. Nayak's father, A.V. Pai, held important positions in pre and post-independent India. An Indian Civil Service officer during the British Raj was sent as an agent to Ceylon, where he played a crucial role in unionising the oppressed Tamil plantation labourers. Nehru visited Ceylon during the same period, and that was the beginning of a bond that lasted for decades that followed. In June 1947, Nehru asked Pai to accompany Vijaylakshmi Pandit to Moscow to establish the first Indian Embassy. Pai, however, declined, citing his father's terminal illness and the schooling of his young children. 'Nehru lost his temper. Your father's illness and your children's education are of secondary importance; Your duty to your country comes first, he said,' Ms. Nayak notes. Pai subsequently left for Moscow along with his wife, Tara Pai, leaving Ms. Nayak and her younger sister in Delhi under the care of house help. H.V. Kamath, a constituent Assembly member then and later a parliamentarian, was a relative and dropped by frequently to check in on the children. During one such visit, he mentioned the upcoming midnight session on 14 August. Ms. Nayak, who grew excited, wondered if she could attend the historic moment. Kamath got her two passes. 'I went with a neighbour and we were in the gallery. Most other guests were officials. Since I was little, they gave me the front seat. I peeped over the ledge and looked down as Nehru made his speech. For me, especially given that I was in my teens when you are very idealistic, it all felt very exciting. I remember that night very fondly,' she reminisces. A natural choice Post-independence, Nayak went on to complete her studies and became the executive director of the United States Educational Foundation in India, overseeing the Fulbright Exchange programme. She also founded the Educational Resources Trust, which focuses on teacher training and student workshops on citizenship, gender studies, and political awareness. She feels education as a path to pursue came naturally to her, with her great-grand uncle being Ammembal Subba Rao Pai, a pioneer who founded the Canara High School and Canara Bank. As an educationist, she feels the biggest gap in the Indian education system is the rote learning model. 'Everything is being learned by heart and vomited out onto the exam papers. Even in our religions, we learn things by heart and simply repeat them. What we miss is the ability to be innovative and to inquire. I would like our students not to learn from textbooks, but to be given assignments that prompt them to be creative and develop their own opinions,' she says. On textbook revision Ms. Nayak also records her displeasure with the recent changes in the NCERT textbooks, where several chapters related to the Mughal era and Hindutwa extremist organisations' displeasure towards Mahatma Gandhi were deleted. 'I don't like them because they're all politically motivated. Whoever is in power at a time will put what suits their ideologies in the book. I don't like textbooks as such,' she said.
