Only China and Pakistan benefited, says Khan Sir

The video clip has been widely shared on social media, especially on platform X (formerly Twitter), and has drawn strong responses.

'Ceasefire was wrong; it shouldn't have stopped. War, at times, becomes the final path to achieving peace. If war were inherently wrong, then even Lord Krishna would have avoided the Mahabharata. Even Lord Hanuman, known for his compassion, carries a weapon — the Gada — as a symbol of defence," Khan sir told news agency
ANI
.
China also gained from Operation Sindoor
Khan Sir argued that China benefited strategically from the operation. He said, 'We targeted Pakistan in Operation Sindoor, but China gained from it. It understood India's attack capacity. Now it knows that if a war happens with India, this is how India will strike.' According to him, the operation heightened regional tension, giving China an opportunity to expand its influence.

Multiple clips go viral
Several parts of the ANI interview have gone viral online, in which Khan Sir criticised India's defence policy in comparison to Israel. He repeated that Israel studies the bodies of terrorists to understand their tactics and India should have followed a similar model. These statements sparked strong reactions as they indirectly raised questions on India's military approach and ethical boundaries.
He said that expecting Pakistan to change is unrealistic. Khan Sir stated that killing 500 to 1,000 terrorists will not make a difference. He also claimed that there are 24 crore terrorists living in Pakistan.
'If even one Pakistani is alive, he is a terrorist'
Khan Sir said, 'We are under the illusion that terrorism can be eliminated from Pakistan. If even one Pakistani is alive, he is a terrorist. Get rid of the misunderstanding that there is any good person living in Pakistan.'
Khan Sir expressed dissatisfaction with India's retaliatory action against Pakistan. He said, 'More damage should have been inflicted on Pakistan. Not a single airport should have been left operational. That would have made the people of Pakistan realise the gravity of their mistake.'
He further added, 'Where 240 million terrorists live, killing 500 to 1,000 makes no difference. Pakistan should be weakened economically to such an extent that every child there feels Pakistan did wrong. When people in Pakistan themselves start telling their government not to confront India, that's when the message will be clear.'
Khan Sir said that Pakistan was not damaged to the extent India had expected.
He added, 'Until new graveyards are built there, and bodies are piled one over another, the Pahalgam attack won't be truly avenged. Pakistan should have been completely destroyed this time. That is what pains me.'
Mixed public reaction
Reactions on social media are divided. While some users appreciated Khan Sir's straightforward opinion, others questioned his understanding of military operations. One user wrote, 'Khan Sir has a point. We should take strict steps like Israel.' Another responded, 'This opinion lacks defence experience. Operation Sindoor was a successful mission and should not be undermined.'
India launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan?
Under Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army carried out missile strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Over 100 terrorists were killed and 11 Pakistani airbases were destroyed. The operation was seen by many as a show of India's long-range precision capabilities.

Trump denied it, but what role did US play in Israeli strikes on Iran?
As missile exchanges escalate, conflicting accounts emerge over Washington's role in Israel's assault on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, according to a report read more The US has repeatedly denied any role in Israel's initial strike on Iran, a claim Tehran disputes, as missile exchanges between the two countries continue and fears grow of a broader escalation involving the world's most powerful military. Since Friday, the conflict has left hundreds dead and over a thousand wounded in Iran, while 19 people have been killed and hundreds injured in Israel as of Monday morning. Despite official denials, several reports suggest Washington may have played a more active role than acknowledged. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD According to a Time report, unnamed US officials told multiple news outlets on Sunday that President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli proposal to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. 'Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we're not even talking about going after the political leadership,' Reuters quoted an official as saying. While Israel has denied any such plan, the reported rejection by Trump implies a degree of coordination between the US and Israel. The Israeli strike came during extended US-Iran negotiations over Tehran's nuclear programme. Although Trump has pushed for a diplomatic resolution, frequently citing his deal-making prowess, both Iran and Israel have ignored growing international calls for de-escalation and launched fresh attacks early Monday. Iran has vowed to retaliate against the US, too, while Trump has warned, 'If we are attacked in any way, shape, or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.' Israel launched its offensive 'Operation Rising Lion' early on Friday, striking Iran's nuclear facilities, top military officials, and nuclear scientists. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Israeli leaders vowed the campaign would 'continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat' posed by Iran's nuclear programme. In response, Iran fired missiles at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem on Friday evening and has continued its retaliatory attacks since. Iran claims 'solid evidence' of US involvement Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed Tehran possesses 'solid evidence' that the US supported the Israeli strikes, reported Time. The Iranian Foreign Ministry echoed this in a statement, asserting the attacks 'could not have been carried out without coordination with and approval of the United States' and warning that Washington would be 'held responsible for the dangerous consequences of Israel's adventurism,' added the report. The US has firmly denied any involvement, a position the Trump administration has reiterated multiple times since the strikes began. 'We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region,' Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement issued shortly after the attacks began, calling Israel's actions a 'unilateral action.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rubio acknowledged that Israel had informed the Trump administration ahead of the operation, a point both President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have since confirmed. In anticipation of the strike, the US evacuated embassy personnel across the region a day prior. In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump urged Iran to 'make a deal' and hinted he was aware of 'the next already planned attacks,' which he warned would be 'even more brutal.' When asked later that day by The Wall Street Journal if Israel had given him advance notice, Trump replied, 'Heads-up? It wasn't a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on.' On Saturday night, after another wave of strikes, President Trump again said, 'The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight.' While Israel's assault had been in the works for months, earlier reports suggested the Trump administration would steer clear, especially amid US efforts to revive nuclear talks with Tehran. 'Clear US green light' According to an Axios report on Friday, Israeli officials claimed the operation was in fact coordinated with Washington, alleging that while the US publicly distanced itself, it privately gave a 'clear US green light' According to multiple outlets including Reuters, AP, and CNN, US officials said they had been briefed on a credible Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, and that the White House stepped in to block it. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesperson, Omer Dostri, dismissed the reports as 'fake.' Asked on Fox News Sunday about the claim, Netanyahu responded, 'There's so many false reports of conversations that never happened, and I'm not going to get into that. But I can tell you, we'll do what we need to do. And I think the United States knows what is good for the United States.' The conflicting narratives may reflect diverging priorities between Washington and Tel Aviv. Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, told NPR,' Clearly there had been coordination and some form of a green light' from the Trump administration. 'Trump is making a major gamble here, thinking that this actually will soften the Iranian position and make them capitulate,' Parsi was quoted as saying. 'If they don't, what are his options? And this is where I think the Israelis are hoping that the Iranians will not capitulate and that will force the United States into the war,' Parsi added.

Books conspicuous by absence at these schools
New Delhi: Months into the academic year, a persistent issue resurfaced in some of Delhi's govt schools: students were still without the free textbooks promised at the beginning of the session. Despite a clear mandate under the Right to Education Act, 2009, that requires govt to provide free textbooks to all elementary-level students within the first week of the academic year, this delay in providing textbooks has become routine. Year after year, the distribution of textbooks is either incomplete or postponed to the point of rendering them nearly ineffective. In some cases, books arrive only towards the end of the academic term, severely disrupting the teaching and learning process. Teachers report that even when books are delivered, they are often riddled with printing errors and produced on poor-quality paper, raising concerns about durability and readability. "Already stretched thin by overcrowded classrooms and administrative responsibilities, we are forced to prepare supplementary study material to keep the lessons going," a Delhi govt school teacher said in northeast Delhi. This repeated delay has become a source of deep frustration for educators, students and parents, and continues to draw criticism from education activists. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Effortless Glucose Monitoring: Request a Free Trial Dexcom Click Here Undo Education advocate Ashok Agarwal raised the issue a few months ago in a social media post. He pointed out that students in several schools, including SKV and SBV at Zeenat Mahal, Kamla Market, were attending classes without books. "It is unfortunate that children in Class VII are being made to study without textbooks," he wrote. He also identified several localities still grappling with the problem, such as Khajoori Khas, Mandawali, Jafrabad Extension and Brahmpuri. According to the principal of a boys' school in northeast Delhi, textbooks for many elementary classes remain unavailable even now. This is far from a new problem. A survey conducted in 2016–17 across eight Delhi districts showed that govt school students often get books in phases, with delays of six to nine months. In east and northeast Delhi, mathematics and science textbooks arrive only by Sept, five months into the session. Some Class VI and VIII students reportedly received key textbooks just days before final exams. The issue reached Delhi High Court in 2024 when, during a hearing, the court questioned govt over the delays and noted that the first academic quarter had nearly passed without students receiving their books. It also pointed out the irony that despite govt bearing the cost of publishing and distributing these textbooks, the process remained so poorly managed. While the directorate of education has not officially responded to questions about the delay, a representative of a govt teachers' association claimed that most schools received their books by the end of April, and that only a few gaps remained. However, accounts from teachers in the field contradict this optimistic assessment. Educators continue to face the brunt of the problem. The absence of textbooks has added to their workload, forcing them to rely on worksheets. "Worksheets help, but they can't replace the structure and depth that textbooks provide," a teacher said. "We have to put in extra effort to make sure students don't fall behind." What remains clear is that this is not merely a logistical oversight. It is a recurring failure with significant consequences for students.

UN rights chief decries 'horrifying' suffering in Gaza and urges leaders to pressure Israel, Hamas
The U.N. human rights chief said Israel's warfare in Gaza is inflicting 'horrifying, unconscionable suffering" on Palestinians and urged government leaders on Monday to exert pressure on Israel's government and the militant group Hamas to end it. Volker Türk made the comments at the opening of the latest Human Rights Council session on Monday, in a broad address that also raised concerns about escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, the fallout from U.S. tariffs, and China's human rights record, alongside wars and conflict in places like Sudan and Ukraine. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, who has regularly spoken out about bloodshed in Gaza and called for the release of Israeli hostages held by armed Palestinian militants, used some of his most forceful words yet to highlight the Mideast violence. 'Israel's means and methods of warfare are inflicting horrifying, unconscionable suffering on Palestinians in Gaza,' Türk told the 47-member-country body, which Israeli authorities have regularly accused of anti-Israel bias. The Trump administration has kept the United States, Israel's top ally, out of the council proceedings. Israel's military campaign since the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks in Israel has killed over 55,300 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. It says that women and children make up most of the dead, but it does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. 'The facts speak for themselves. Everyone in government needs to wake up to what is happening in Gaza,' Türk said. 'All those with influence must exert maximum pressure on Israel and Hamas, to put an end to this unbearable suffering.' In Brussels, medical aid charity Doctors Without Borders appealed to European Union leaders to use what leverage they have over Israel to end the siege of Gaza. Secretary-General Christopher Lockyear described Gaza as a 'hell on earth,' and said that almost two years of relentless bombardment has turned 'this narrow strip of land into a graveyard of shattered hospitals, mass graves and destroyed neighborhoods.' U.N. and many other aid deliveries were cut off in mid-March, and violence has accompanied distributions of food from the recently created Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has U.S. and Israeli backing. Beyond the suffering of inflicted on Gazans, Doctors Without Borders said its international staffers are often living on one meal a day, and some have been admitted to their own facilities for treatment. The EU is the world's biggest donor of aid to the Palestinians, but has little real leverage over Israel. On top of that, the 27 nations are divided in their approach to the conflict, although concern over the plight of Gazans has grown as the siege has dragged on. In his speech Monday, Türk also bemoaned an increase in civilian casualties in Ukraine, nearly 3 1/2 years after Russia's full-scale invasion. He also denounced executions without a fair trial and 'wide-scale sexual violence, including against children" in Sudan. Without mentioning President Donald Trump by name, Türk likened the U.S. tariffs he imposed in April to 'a high-stakes poker game, with the global economy as the bank.' 'But the shockwaves of a trade war will hit Least Developed Countries with the force of a tsunami,' he said, warning of a potentially 'devastating' impact on exporters in Asia, and the prospect of higher costs for food, healthcare and education in places. Türk expressed concerns about U.S. deportations of non-nationals, including to third countries, and called on authorities to respect the right to peaceful assembly. The council session, which has been shortened by 2 1/2 days because of funding issues at the U.N., is set to run through July 9. The Geneva-based council is the U.N.'s top human rights body.
