"Following the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan received a strong response through
Operation Sindoor
. Those who carried out the attack have been identified, and I can confidently say they do not have long to live. Good news will come, but it's not appropriate to disclose a specific date. Over the past five years, even the highest leaders of various terrorist organisations are no longer alive, and they will meet the same fate," Sinha said.
On April 22, 26 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down by terrorists in an attack at Pahalgam in the Kashmir Valley. In retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 to target terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
"With the efforts of the local administration and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we are moving towards making Jammu and Kashmir the state of Gandhi's dreams," Sinha said at the event presided over by former union minister and vice chairman of Gandhi Smriti, Vijay Goel.

Discussing developmental projects in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly following the removal of Article 370 in 2019, Sinha highlighted that the Valley has experienced inclusive development in a short time.
Highways worth Rs 1.5 lakh crore have been built, over 5000 hotels have opened, and 1013 new startups have been launched, most of which are led by local women, he emphasised, adding that Kashmir is now rapidly advancing towards development.
Sinha expressed confidence that every central government scheme is reaching the citizens of Kashmir and mentioned that stone-pelting has become a thing of the past.
Despite concerns from the opposition regarding the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the Valley, he claimed that not a single bullet was fired during this period.
Although some may not welcome the "changed" atmosphere of the Valley, with the inspiration of Prime Minister Modi, the story of "Sabka Saath and Sabka Vikas" is being written across the state without any "discrimination", he added.

Jaishankar Welcomes US Move to List TRF as Terror Group; Experts Urge Caution After Pahalgam Attack
External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar has lauded the United States for formally designating The Resistance Front (TRF), the group behind the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity. In a post on X, Jaishankar called the move a 'strong affirmation' of the India-US counter-terrorism partnership, thanking Senator Marco Rubio and the US State Department. The decision comes after TRF, a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy, claimed responsibility for the brutal attack that killed 26 people, mostly Hindu tourists. However, strategic experts have cautioned India against over-celebrating. While many view this as a diplomatic win post-Op Sindoor, others warn that the US may still continue its dual game with Pakistan. Former diplomats and analysts say India must remain alert and not lower its guard against terror safe havens in Pakistan-occupied territories.#jaishankar #trf #theresistancefront #unitedstates #usterrorlist #trfterror #pahalgamattack #opsindoor #indiaus #counterterrorism #lashkaretaiba #pakistanterror #pakistan #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews Read More

Punjab govt setting up 22 committees to advise it on new industrial policy: Minister Sanjeev Arora
Punjab Industries Minister Sanjeev Arora Thursday said the state government was in the process of setting up industry-specific committees to advise it on shaping up a new industrial policy. A total of 22 committees comprising industrialists will be formed, he said, adding each committee will comprise 8 to 10 members with its chairman. The tenure of these committees will be for two years. 'These committees will advise the government for any requirement they need in their respective sectors. They will advise the government about what changes they require in the policy,' said Arora. Arora said the committees will be asked to give their first report within 45 days. 'We will seek their comments to make new industrial policy a reality. We want to come out with the new policy as soon as possible,' said Arora. These committees will be constituted for the textile sector, IT, sports goods, , bicycle industry, auto and auto components, heavy machinery, electric vehicles, renewable energy, food processing, steel, chemical industry, tourism and hospitality, film and media, pharmaceuticals, retail and manufacturing among others, he said. Replying to a question on some textile industrialists from Punjab investing in Madhya Pradesh, Arora said no industry is moving out of the state. 'They have future expansion plans. If any industry has future expansion plans, these can be for going there where raw material is available, and a port is near for import and exports.' 'Nobody is shutting here. They are expanding here as well,' he said. On July 7, MP Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had met local industrialists in Ludhiana and had then said that his state received investment proposals worth Rs 15,606 crore from Punjab industrialists. To a question on industry complaining about unscheduled power cuts, Arora said they regularly take up this issue with the state-owned power utility — Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd. 'We do not have a shortage of power. Rather the PSPCL is looking for customers for sale of electricity. But somewhere there are transmission problems. Sometimes grids get overloaded. All these are issues being taken care of. In the last 6-8 months, new grids have been set up and upgraded. 'We assure that this problem will be solved,' he said.

"Hounded By This Government For 10 Years": Rahul Gandhi Defends Robert Vadra
New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has backed his brother-in-law - businessman Robert Vadra - after the Enforcement Directorate filed a chargesheet in a money laundering case linked to a Gurugram real estate deal. "My brother-in-law has been hounded by this government for the last 10 years... this latest chargesheet is a continuation of that witch hunt," Mr Gandhi said on X. "I stand with Robert, Priyanka (Gandhi Vadra, the Congress MP from Wayanad) and their children as they face yet another onslaught of malicious, politically motivated slander and harassment." "I know they are all brave enough to withstand any kind of persecution and they will continue to do so with dignity. The truth will eventually prevail," Rahul Gandhi said. My brother-in-law has been hounded by this government for the last ten years. This latest chargesheet is a continuation of that witch hunt. I stand with Robert, Priyanka and their children as they face yet another onslaught of malicious, politically motivated slander and… — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) July 18, 2025 Mr Gandhi's social media post follows the Congress party also backing Robert Vadra. General Secretary Randeep Surjewala told reporters " there is not an iota of illegality" in the land deal in question, and demanded to know when buying and selling land had been made illegal. The Enforcement Directorate filed its chargesheet Thursday afternoon. It names Mr Vadra and his company, Sky Light Hospitality Pvt Ltd, and is in reference to the alleged fraudulent purchase of 3.53 acres of land in Gurugram's Sector 83 in February 2008. The federal agency claims fake documents were used to facilitate and complete the purchase, and Mr Vadra then secured a commercial licence thanks to his position of power. On July 16 the agency had attached 43 properties - worth approximately Rs 37.64 crore - belonging to Mr Vadra, Sky Light Hospitality, and others named in the chargesheet. In a brief but forceful statement, Mr Vadra's office called the chargesheet "an extension of the political witch hunt by the present government against him", and said the businessman would nevertheless, as he always had, "continue to extend his fullest cooperation to the authorities". "... he is confident the truth will prevail and he will be cleared of wrongdoing... he is looking forward to the opportunity to defend himself and clear his name in court," the statement said.
