Pakistan in the grip of a ‘military-terrorist nexus': Prasad
Pakistan was in the grip of a military-terrorist nexus, with generals of the Pakistan armed forces using terrorism as a proxy to maintain their relevance, with Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir speaking the language of fascism, said BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad. Addressing a press conference after his return as the head of a multi-party delegation that visited Italy, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany and Denmark, Mr. Prasad said that the delegation gave a historical context to India's actions concerning Operation Sindoor. 'Pakistan is not only a state in denial, but the military-terrorist nexus has become a deadly combination,' he said. 'When we talked about history, we talked about how Pakistan is in the hands of Generals... The world needs to understand that Pakistan is in the grip of a military-general nexus whose dirty job is done by the terrorists and terrorist camps,' he added. He said that the delegation also spoke about a speech by now Field Marshal Asim Munir ahead of the Pahalgam terror attack, which mentioned how Hindus and Muslims were 'different' and that the creation of Pakistan was on the basis of that difference, and that future generations of that country must be told of it. He added that these were the words of a 'jihadi general' and that 'Asim Munir was speaking the language of fascism', which should ring alarm bells in European capitals. He emphasised that India has never been the aggressor in any conflict. 'We have fought conventional wars (with Pakistan), but we were never the aggressors. We made it clear that we are not against the people of Pakistan,' he said. Mr. Prasad stated that all Indian governments have made genuine attempts to foster good relations with Pakistan. 'Prime Minister Modi called Nawaz Sharif (former Pakistan Prime Minister) for his swearing-in ceremony, went to his grandson's wedding too and then Uri (attack) happened and we gave a befitting reply; then, similarly with Pulwama, and now this (Pahalgam),' he said. The delegation led by Mr. Prasad also included BJP MPs Daggubati Purandeswari, Gulam Ali Khatana, and Samik Bhattacharya, former BJP MP M.J. Akbar, Congress MP Amar Singh, Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Priyanka Chaturvedi, AIADMK MP M. Thambidurai and former diplomat Pankaj Saran. Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam by Pakistan-sponsored militants that claimed 26 lives and injured several others. Following retaliation from Pakistan, the Indian Armed Forces carried out targeted strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of over 100 terrorists linked to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.

NaMo App Survey On Modi Government's 11 Years Gets Over 5 Lakh Responses In A Day
New Delhi: A survey on the NaMo app to draw people's feedback on a variety of issues to mark the Modi government's 11 years has elicited a sizeable 5 lakh responses within a day of its launch, official sources said on Tuesday. A remarkable 77 per cent of respondents have completed the full survey, they said, adding that it demonstrated a high level of engagement and interest in contributing to this "national dialogue". The state with the most responses is Uttar Pradesh, followed by Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Haryana. Over 1,41,150 responses have come from India's most populated state, 65,775 from Maharashtra, 62,580 from Tamil Nadu, 43,590 from Gujarat and 29,985 from Haryana, they added. An official said, "This unique survey is designed to actively engage people in the democratic process, empowering them to express their opinions on key national issues and government initiatives." Modi announced the Jan Man Survey on Monday, the day he had taken the oath of office in this third term in 2024. It offers a platform for people to directly share their feedback and opinions with the government. The survey ensures that the voices of the people are heard and considered in shaping future policies, the officials noted. The questions asked in the survey seek responses on the evolution of India's approach to counter-terrorism in the last decade, how secure one feels as a citizen considering the government's actions against national security threats, and does one believe India's voice is being heard and respected more internationally among others. It also seeks responses on some of the government's set-piece initiatives like Skill India and Make in India and efforts for women-led development.
