Madness of religious extremism: Baloch leader condemns Munir's nuke threat to India
Washington: Tara Chand, President of Baloch American Congress, on Wednesday slammed Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir for making nuclear threats, calling him a "fake Field Marshal" and an "enemy" of humanity. This comes as Munir, during his US visit over the weekend, warned that Pakistan will never allow India to choke the Indus River and will defend its water rights at all costs, even if the forces will have to destroy any dam that India seeks to build on it. Chand, also a former Cabinet Minister in the Government of Balochistan, took to X and posted, "Pakistan's fake Field Marshal, General Asim Munir, who has threatened in America to destroy India and the world with his nuclear bombs, should be ashamed of himself. He is the number one enemy of humanity, driven by the madness of religious extremism under the banner of Islam. He seeks to destroy the world along with India." Flagging it as a wake-up call, the US-based Baloch leader called on the world leaders to take back all of Pakistan's nuclear weapons and impose economic, political, and international sanctions on the country. Raising concern, Chand stated that before "religiously-motivated" Pakistan and its leadership can act on their destructive ambitions, their nuclear weapons have to be removed in order to prevent the rogue state from bringing harm to the world. Munir, the Pakistani media reported on Monday, visited two US cities over the weekend and flew to Belgium on Sunday after completing his second high-profile trip to the United States in less than two months. Earlier in May, Chand wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and lauded India's decision to hold the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance. He also urged New Delhi to provide support to the "free Balochistan" movement. On behalf of the Baloch community in America, he extended his gratitude to PM Modi for the stance India has taken regarding the plight of the Baloch in Pakistan since 2016. "Your mention of Balochistan in your speech at the Red Fort was welcomed by the Baloch worldwide as a sign of moral support for a nation occupied, subjugated, and terrorised by Pakistan. It gave great hope to my Baloch people," the letter mentioned. "I laud your wise decision of holding the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance and making it clear to the jihadist generals of Pakistan that blood and water cannot flow together," it added. He mentioned that since Pakistan's occupation of Balochistan in 1948, the Baloch people have been severely oppressed by the machinery of the rogue state. Chand slammed the jihadist Pakistani Army for the countless forcible disappearances and killings of the people of Balochistan. He described the abuses as a part of the strategy adopted by Islamabad to suppress the freedom struggle movement of Balochistan, which the people have been waging since Pakistan forcibly annexed Balochistan. The Baloch leader had requested the Indian government to adopt a policy of political, moral, and diplomatic support for the Baloch national resistance against the occupation of Pakistan.

Blast outside rapper Badshah's bar: Punjab man with links to gangster Goldy Brar arrested
A man from Punjab has been arrested in connection with the low-intensity blast at Bollywood rapper and singer Badshah's bar and club in Chandigarh in November last year, the Delhi Police said Wednesday. The accused, identified as Deepak, 31, a resident of Faridkot in Punjab, was arrested by a team from the Special Cell's Counter-Intelligence Unit, officers said, adding that he is currently being questioned. No one was injured in the blast which occurred outside Badshah's Bar and Club, located in Chandigarh's Sector 26, on November 26, 2024, but hours later, gangster Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the incident, purportedly through a social media post. The post, which demanded protection money from the singer, also mentioned the name of gangster Rohit Godara. According to a police officer, Deepak was in Delhi to meet someone when he was arrested. The officer said Deepak has close ties with Brar, a former associate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Sources said Deepak had conducted reconnaissance before the blast and was in touch with Brar. The CCTV footage collected from the scene showed a man hurling a bomb outside the bar and running away. Three days after the incident, two men — Vinay, 20, and Ajit Sehrawat, 21, — were arrested in Hisar by joint teams of the Chandigarh Police and Haryana's Hisar district police over suspicion of being involved in the blast. Brar and Bishnoi were allegedly involved in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in Punjab's Mansa in May 2022. The two are said to have ended their association recently and are now operating separate extortion rackets. Brar, whose original name is Satwinder Singh, carries a reward of Rs 10 lakh for his arrest, announced by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). He is a wanted accused in several cases in Punjab, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand, and is reported to be residing in the United States. Gangster Godara is also believed to be hiding in the US.

Ahead of Trump-Putin Meeting, Zelensky Says He Won't Exchange Land for Peace
KYIV, Ukraine—President Trump's face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday will heap pressure on one person not at the table: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky has tried to position himself as the party who was eager for a peace deal—something Trump has sought to broker since he returned to office this year. Concerns run high in Kyiv that Trump will seek to strike a deal with Putin that will be disadvantageous to Ukraine, or at least be persuaded by Putin that Zelensky is the one in the way of an end to the bloodshed. Zelensky told reporters Tuesday that he was ready to meet directly with Putin—a step the Russian leader has refused to take—and offered subtle indications that he could be willing to discuss delicate domestic issues such as territorial concessions. But he also shrugged off the suggestion that a land swap could be part of a cease-fire agreement in the near term, an idea that has recently been floated in calls between various world leaders. He said he didn't believe that Moscow was prepared to give up territory it currently controls in southern Ukraine in exchange for more territory in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. Instead, Zelensky said, he believed Russia was asking Ukraine to withdraw from territory it currently holds in exchange for Russia agreeing to a cease-fire. Zelensky has said for months that he would accept an unconditional interim cease-fire. 'In my view, essentially, they are offering simply not to advance any further,' Zelensky said of Russia. 'This is a very conditional exchange.' Ukrainian soldiers and army engineers inspect new fortifications in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. A Ukrainian soldier in a bunker which forms part of the new defensive fortifications built in eastern Ukraine. Zelensky's comments underscore the difficult position that the coming Trump-Putin meeting has put him in. He is wary of any cease-fire proposal that Putin might offer without Ukraine at the table. At the same time, he must be careful not to provoke Trump's anger—as he did during his disastrous trip to Washington in February—by appearing not to take peace talks seriously. On Wednesday, Zelensky arrived in Germany, where he will join German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for a video call with Trump and other European leaders. Volodymyr Fesenko, a Kyiv-based political analyst at the independent think tank Penta Center for Political Studies, said the meeting posed several potential risks for Zelensky. Putin will aim to negotiate a cease-fire with Trump with conditions that are favorable to Russia, which Trump could then pressure Ukraine to accept. But just as great a risk, he said, was that Putin would try to turn Trump—who has shown more sympathy toward his Russian counterpart than other recent presidents—against Ukraine and toward Moscow. The U.S. leader might then cut off military or economic support for Kyiv, or lift sanctions on Russia. Already, in the lead-up to the meeting, Trump halted plans to hit Russia with additional sanctions. In addition, Trump criticized Zelensky earlier this week after the Ukrainian leader initially dismissed the idea of a land swap. 'I get along with Zelensky, but I disagree with what he's done,' Trump said. 'Very, very severely disagree.' 'Putin's goal in this case is not to end the war, but to form a negative attitude toward Ukraine and Zelensky, to cause a quarrel between Trump and Zelensky,' Fesenko said. 'A real problem has already emerged—Trump's irritation with Zelensky's position.' Some Western officials see signals that Putin could be more prepared for serious peace talks than he has been in the past. In a recent discussion with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, Putin didn't mention some of his previous demands, such as the demilitarization of Ukraine or Ukrainian withdrawal from four regions that Russia partly controls and now claims as its own, The Wall Street Journal reported. Instead, according to officials briefed on the discussion, Putin had said that he would be open to a cease-fire if Ukraine withdrew from only its two easternmost regions of Luhansk and Donetsk. Russia already controls all but a small sliver of the Luhansk region, and some Western officials hope that Russian-held territory in southern Ukraine could be handed back if Kyiv withdraws from the parts of the Donetsk region it still controls. Though Ukrainians have grown more willing to make concessions to end the war since the full-scale invasion began in 2022, public opinion polls show they remain opposed to giving up territory. A June survey from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology found 52% of Ukrainians opposed to territorial concessions, with 38% willing to accept territorial losses as part of a peace deal. Though Zelensky has repeatedly dismissed the idea of territorial concessions, his comments on Tuesday indicated, at the very least, a willingness to discuss it. 'I am not ready to discuss it over the phone,' he said of 'the territorial question.' 'These are serious matters to be decided at the leaders' level.' So far, Putin has declined to meet directly with Zelensky, who he has tried to paint as an illegitimate leader who shouldn't be recognized. Zelensky has also, since early in the war, insisted that security guarantees—provided by the West—must be part of any peace agreement, since Russia has repeatedly violated earlier cease-fire pacts. Residents of Dnipro, Ukraine, fled their homes after Russian rockets hit a nearby building in June. In his comments on Tuesday, he didn't mention membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization—long his priority, but one which most analysts say isn't realistic in the short term. Instead, he insisted that Europe would have to play an important role in any peace negotiations. European leaders have been frozen out of the Trump-Putin meeting on Friday, and Zelensky noted that in recent months it is Europe—not the U.S.—that has taken on most of the cost of helping fund and arm Ukraine. 'The presence of Europe in one form or another is very important,' Zelensky said. 'Ultimately no one except Europe is currently providing us with security guarantees. Even financially—funding the needs of our army, which is a security guarantee.' Write to Ian Lovett at Ahead of Trump-Putin Meeting, Zelensky Says He Won't Exchange Land for Peace
