Congress
leader
Pawan Khera
came down heavily on the BJP-led NDA government over the
foreign policy
and diplomacy tactics, claiming that the dispensation's so-called "muscular foreign policy" has collapsed under its own PR.
Taking a jibe at the BJP's government, the Congress leader went on to say - "India is loud at home but lonely abroad."
In a social media post on X, Khera pointed out several developments that according to him led to the "collapse" of India's foreign policy, including funding to Pakistan from different world forums and organisations, China's backing to Pakistan, Nepal's claim on India's Kalapterritory, OIC's stance on Jammu and Kashmir and several others.

Khera posted, "Saudi Arabia suspending visas for 14 countries, including India, is just the latest blow in a steady collapse of India's foreign policy under Modi. China blocked naming the attackers at the UN. Pakistan won the backing from China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, and Malaysia, all demanding a "fair probe."
He further pointed out, "
India's global standing
is crumbling: 1. G7 excluded India over the Canada-Khalistan fallout. G20 saw no breakthrough. 2. Maldives turns hostile with "India-Out" and a pro-China pivot 3. Sri Lanka and, Maldives lease strategic assets to Beijing 4. Nepal redrew its map to claim Indian territory 5. OIC and West Asia keep attacking India over Kashmir and Muslim rights 6. SCO and BRICS are now mouthpieces for China 7. Russia signs military and energy deals with Pakistan"

The social media post added, "Meanwhile, Pakistan, despite economic collapse, bags $20B from World Bank, $1B from the IMF, $800M from ADB, tightens ties with Russia, and hijacks the Kashmir narrative. Turkey even sent a warship in its support. Iran offered to mediate. Qatar, Kuwait, and Malaysia echoed Islamabad's line."
"This dispensation's so-called muscular foreign policy has collapsed under its PR. India is loud at home but lonely abroad," Khera alleged.

Trump won't allow mob rule in America, says White House amid LA unrest
US President Donald Trump 'will never allow mob rule to prevail in America,' the White House said on Wednesday, following escalating protests in Los Angeles sparked by the administration's aggressive immigration enforcement House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking at a press briefing, said President Trump remains firmly committed to upholding law and order in the face of what she described as organized unrest. 'The most basic duty of government is to preserve law and order, and this administration embraces that sacred responsibility,' she said, as images of burning vehicles and masked demonstrators were displayed during the unrest follows a series of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids carried out in Los Angeles last week, a city governed by Democrats, which has long opposed Trump's immigration agenda. Though many protests were peaceful, several incidents of violence, including the torching of self-driving taxis and clashes with police, prompted a militarized gas and other non-lethal methods were deployed, and President Trump authorized the National Guard to intervene, a rare move in recent Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass sharply criticized the deployment, calling it excessive and politically motivated. In response, Leavitt accused both leaders of dereliction of duty. 'Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass shamefully failed to meet their sworn obligations to their citizens,' she said, also alleging that Newsom had 'fanned the flames and demonized our brave ICE officers.'advertisementPresident Trump, speaking Tuesday at Fort Bragg military base, promised to 'liberate' Los Angeles, intensifying tensions with California's Democratic administration has also raised concerns about the organization behind the protests. Trump referred to some demonstrators as 'paid insurrectionists' equipped with professional anti-riot gear, a claim Leavitt said is under investigation. 'It's a good question the president is raising, and one we are looking into, about who is funding these insurrectionists,' she told news agency backlash is intensifying as the fast-growing 'No Kings' protest movement prepares for a massive, coordinated demonstration on June 14, coinciding with both a pro-Trump parade in Washington, DC, and the president's 79th birthday. Organizers estimate that nearly 3 million people could flood streets in cities across the country in what they describe as a unified stand against response, the White House remains defiant. 'President Trump will never allow mobs to take over the United States,' Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, signaling no intention to yield to mounting public inputs from agenciesTune InMust Watch

Pete Hegseth confirmed Iran working towards nuclear weapon, claims US senator
US senator from Arkansas Tom Cotton on Thursday claimed that defence secretary Pete Hegseth had confirmed that Iran was working towards building a nuclear weapon amid a stalled nuclear deal between the countries. In a post on X, Tom Cotton said, 'Today @SecDef confirmed that Iran's terrorist regime is actively working towards a nuclear weapon. For the sake of our national security, the security of our allies, and millions of civilians in the region this cannot be allowed to happen.' Also Read: Israel preparing strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, suggests US intelligence: Report The US and Iran have been negotiating a nuclear deal for around two months, with Oman mediating. They have held five rounds of talks. US President Donald Trump, after being elected for his second term, had said he wants a deal that curbs Iran's atomic activities and that the US could strike Iran if the talks break down. Also Read: Trump travel ban shows 'deep hostility' towards Iranians, Muslims, says Iran Israel, which believes a nuclear-armed Iran would pose an existential threat has also threatened to attack Tehran, with or without US help. Iran has long denied having plans to build a nuclear weapon, although it has been enriching uranium to a higher point than required for civilian purposes, leading to wariness from the US and other western countries. Earlier this week, Trump said he was "much less confident of a deal being made. 'They seem to be delaying, and I think that's a shame," he told the New York Post. Also Read: A thaw in Iran-Canada ties? Tehran says 'ready for talks' to restart relations Iran has warned of retaliation against US military assets in the Middle East if the talks collapse and the Islamic Republic is attacked. 'I sincerely hope it won't come to that and that the talks reach a resolution,' Iran's Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said. 'But if they don't, and conflict is imposed on us, the other side will undoubtedly suffer greater losses. We will target all US bases in host countries without hesitation," he added.

BSP plans to increase its tally to 30, chalks out poll strategy
Nagpur: After BJP and Congress, it is the Bahujan Samaj Party ( BSP ) that is a major player in the Nagpur civic body polls, even emerging the third-largest party in the 2017 polls. With 10 seats under its belt, BSP is now gearing up to increase the tally to 30 and has chalked out a strategy for the same. BSP leader Prakash Gajbhiye said, "A huge population resides in slums and lower-income areas within Nagpur city, and those in power have neglected this completely. I can show you so many places in Nagpur where there is no proper sewage system, no proper roads, and the water supply is also not regular. People have realised that BJP or Congress will never solve these problems; hence they will turn to BSP for that." The party has also worked out their targeted seats in the NMC assembly constituencies, highlighting their preparedness. Gajbhiye said, "Our maximum seats will come from North Nagpur, for which our target is 15. The next highest will be from South-West, where we hope to bag around seven seats. Then in the West and South, our target is three each. And for Central, it is two seats. Now, this is the minimum target, but we are confident of getting much more. " He added that BJP's strategy of regularisation of land and building pucca homes, which can help connect with voters, won't work in the polls.

Regarding Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), Gajbhiye said, "People now realise that VBA won't be able to have any impact on their lives. We have been representing Nagpurians' voices in the civic body for a long time, so we have a proven track record." Their ace up the sleeve is party chief Mayawati herself. "We are planning for two major rallies in Maharashtra. One will be in Mumbai and the other in Nagpur. If Behenji holds a rally, then the entire voting dynamic changes at one stroke," said Gajbhiye.
