'Day Rahul Gandhi has power...PoK will be part of India': Cong MP Pramod Tiwari
New Delhi [India], May 30 (ANI): Congress MP Pramod Tiwari claimed that when Rahul Gandhi comes to power, that day Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) will be a part of India.
Speaking to ANI, Pramod Tiwari said, 'The day Rahul Gandhi will have power in his hands and will have the right to take decisions for India, that day, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir will be a part of India. This is my belief because he is a very determined person...'
Earlier, Congress leader and Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and made a similar claim about Rahul Gandhi.
CM Reddy called PM Modi an 'expired rupee'. Addressing the Jai Hind Yatra, he said, 'Modi is expired rupee, Modi is like a 1000 rupees' invalid note. Today, this country needs Rahul Gandhi's leadership. If a leader like Rahul Gandhi would have been Prime Minister of this country, then he would have taken (former PM) Indira Gandhi as inspiration and would have walked in Kaali's (Maata) way and would have made Pakistan into two parts and would have taken PoK back.'
These statements have led to a war of words between Congress and the BJP. BJP MP Sambit Patra questioned Rahul Gandhi, Revanth Reddy and Jairam Ramesh over not asking Pakistan regarding how many of their airbases were destroyed or terrorists were killed.
The BJP MP stated that Congress' 'Jai Hind Yatra' looks like 'Pakistan Hind Yatra'.
Patra said, 'Rahul Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh, and Revanth Reddy are asking how many Rafales were shot down. 'Yeh jo Pakistan ke Babbar hain, woh Hindustan ke Gabbar hain'. Rahul Gandhi did not ask how many Pakistani airbases were destroyed, how many terrorists were killed; rather, he only asked how many Indian planes were shot down.'
'Today, there are two factions in Congress - one which supports Pakistan and the other which wants to raise a voice for the country but is unable to do so because of you,' Sambit Patra added. (ANI)

‘My Wife And Two Kids...:' Indian Techie's Post Amid H-1B Visa Row Strikes A Chord
Last Updated: An Indian engineer's Reddit post highlights the personal struggles faced amid US visa uncertainties. Once a sought-after pathway for skilled professionals to work in the US, the H-1B visa is now under increased scrutiny amid tightening regulations. Indian nationals, who historically receive the largest share of these visas, are among the most affected. Adding to their concerns is a controversial executive order issued by US President Donald Trump. The order proposes revoking birthright citizenship for children born in the US to parents on temporary visas like the H-1B, unless one parent is a citizen or permanent resident. This move has sparked anxiety among immigrant families already grappling with visa uncertainties and long green card wait times. Amid growing uncertainty surrounding immigration policies, a Reddit post by an Indian engineer has brought attention to the emotional and practical dilemmas faced by many expats. The anonymous user revealed that after spending the majority of his career in the US, he recently received a lucrative job offer in India, based in his home state. However, he currently resides in the US with his wife and two young children—one of whom has just started kindergarten. Although his current income only covers basic expenses, he cherishes the work-life balance and quality family time that living in the US affords, making the decision to relocate all the more difficult. 'I am in my mid-30s, working in the IT industry. I worked mostly in the US. I have 2 kids, 1 of whom is in Kindergarten and the other one is a toddler. I just got a job offer in India with decent pay and in my native state. I am working for an Automotive company through an Indian consultancy. Though the pay in the US is not so great and my wife is not working, the pay in the US is just enough to meet the ends and hardly any savings left out. It's getting really hard as the prices are increasing, and the added pressure of keeping the visa status alive. But at the same time, I will not get the same Quality of Life in India that I enjoy here. Also, I like the family time and weekend joys with my family. I may not get it in India, where the work demands more additional work time. I am unable to choose. What would you do if you were in my situation?" he asked. Shared on May 29, the post grabbed responses, reflecting the diverse perspectives of others facing similar dilemmas. A user commented, 'It's a hard choice, and honestly, no one can really help you decide. You just have to commit to one option, not look back, and accept that you can't have the best of both worlds." Another advised, 'Move back before the kids grow up. Getting adjusted will be difficult as they get older." 'If you can't increase your salary in the U.S. and can live comfortably in India with additional savings, then it makes sense to move back," an individual said, adding, 'Your expenses will only rise once both kids start school. Many commenters highlighted the emotional comfort and cultural connection that come with moving back to one's home country. First Published:

Kharge demands special Parliament session over CDS remarks made in Singapore
New Delhi, May 31 (UNI) Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday called for a special session of Parliament, alleging that recent remarks made by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) during an interview in Singapore, raise several important questions. Kharge said the "fog of war is clearing," and it's now evident that the Modi government has "misled the nation." On his social media handle X, Kharge said, "Our IAF pilots were risking their lives fighting the enemy. We have suffered some losses, but our pilots were safe. As per CDS's interview, "we made, remedy it, rectify it, and then implement it again after two days and flew all our jets again, targeting at long range". "We salute their resolute courage and bravery. However, a comprehensive strategic review is the need of the hour," Kharge said. He further demanded the constitution of an independent expert committee to conduct a comprehensive review of India's defence preparedness, similar to the Kargil Review Committee established after the 1999 Kargil conflict. Raising concerns over Trump's repeated assertions about brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Kharge said, "US President Donald Trump has again repeated his claim about BROKERING a CEASEFIRE. This is a direct affront to the Shimla Agreement". Kharge said, "Instead of clarifying Mr Trump's repeated assertions, and the affidavit filed by US Secretary of Commerce in the United States Court of International Trade, PM Modi is on an election blitz, taking PERSONAL CREDIT for the valour of our Armed Forces, hiding behind their bravery and dodging the contours of the agreed CEASEFIRE, which the Foreign Secretary announced on 10th, after Mr Trump's tweet". While stating that 140 cr patriotic Indians deserve to know this, the Congress president again asked, "Is India and Pakistan now again hyphenated? What are the conditions of the CEASEFIRE agreement?
