"India is a peace-loving state, but..." Ravi Kishan speaks out on Operation Sindoor as India fights against terrorism
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 18 (ANI): BJP Member of Parliament (MP) Ravi Kishan recently shared his views on Operation Sindoor, India's military response to terrorism, as well as his upcoming recognition with the Sansad Ratna Award 2025.
Ravi Kishan, known for his active role in both politics and the film industry, spoke firmly to ANI about India's stance on terrorism and the country's security efforts.
He emphasised that India, while a peace-loving nation, would not hesitate to take decisive action if provoked.
Regarding Operation Sindoor, which was launched on May 7, Kishan said, 'India is a peace-loving state, but will also not retreat from war... If Pakistan does any terrorist activity or provokes India, it will get a befitting reply from India... The Indian Armed Forces know how to give a befitting reply.'
Operation Sindoor was India's strong response to the tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people.
India's strike targeted nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation.
Kishan further explained India's global diplomatic efforts in the fight against terrorism, particularly with the all-party delegation visiting key partner countries to raise awareness about Pakistan's role in spreading terror.
He elaborated, 'A committee of members from various parties has been constituted and they will be meeting leaders from across the world... This is a huge step and will tell the world how Pakistan spreads terrorism to disrupt peace in India and this time, the entire nation united against Pakistan. 'Modi ji ne ghar mein ghus ke maara'...'
Meanwhile, the BJP MP also expressed his gratitude upon being selected for the prestigious Sansad Ratna Award for 2025, an honour recognising the most distinguished parliamentarians for their contribution to parliamentary work and public service.
'I thank PM Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, UP CM Yogi Adityanath, and the public of Gorakhpur who bestowed their trust on me... Their trust motivates me to work hard and raise their issues in the parliament... I thank the jury members who selected me for the Sansad Ratna Award 2025... I am very happy...' said Kishan, who has represented Gorakhpur in the Lok Sabha. (ANI)

Proud of how MPs advocated India's voice, says PM Modi
NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday commended the seven multi-party delegations for effectively representing India's stance in global capitals following Operation Sindoor , a decisive strike against terrorist hubs in Pakistan and PoK. "Met members of various delegations who represented India in different countries and elaborated on India's commitment to peace and the need to eradicate the menace of terrorism. We're all proud of the manner in which they put forward India's voice," PM said on X. Over 50 representatives from the delegations, who visited 33 foreign capitals and the EU, called on Modi to share their experiences. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said the PM was "very pleasant" to the delegation members, seeing it as an opportunity to thank them. "He walked around the lawn to different tables, talking to different groups of people... It was a good, lively, informal meeting," Tharoor said, adding that MPs shared insights and suggested such visits be made a regular practice, which the PM seemed to support. The delegations - comprising current and former MPs and ex-diplomats - conveyed India's firm stand against Pakistan-linked terrorism and its commitment to global peace. EAM S Jaishankar had earlier praised the delegations for highlighting India's position.

BJP leaders in Jharkhand, Bihar laud Modi govt.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Smriti Irani in Jharkhand and Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal in Bihar listed out the achievements to commemorate the 11 years of the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre. Addressing a press conference at the BJP office in Patna, Mr. Meghwal said the scale and speed of the schemes have changed under the Prime Minister's leadership. He cites an example that earlier also there was a plan to build houses but the amount was less and it took more time. 'But when the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana was launched by the Modi government, the amount increased, the scale increased and the time of its completion also decreased,' Mr. Meghwal said in the presence of Bihar BJP president Dilip Kumar Jaiswal. In Ranchi, a professional meet was organised by the BJP's Ranchi Rural District wing. Speaking as the chief guest, Ms. Irani said, 'The BJP government under the leadership of Modiji is not hungry for power but to serve the poor farmers and women in villages.' The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha termed the celebration a 'mockery of people's pain and unanswered questions'. Party spokesperson Tanuj Khatri said the ground reality here does not reflect the grand celebrations. 'It echoes with the cries of the people, their struggles,' he said.

Highlighting 11 years of Modi govt., BJP attacks TMC govt.
Union Ministers and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Bhupendra Yadav and Sukanta Majumdar on Wednesday shared highlights from the 11 years of the Narendra Modi-led Central government and accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of depriving the State of the Centre's development initiatives and schemes. During an event of the BJP in Kolkata, Mr. Yadav, the Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, said that Ms. Banerjee's rule will be remembered for 'heinous crimes against women, teachers losing their jobs in a scam, communal violence in Murshidabad, and massive brain drain from the State due to Trinamool-aligned mafia, strange land policies, and an anti-business attitude'. 'Prime Minister Modi has governed the country with consistency and continuity, and brought transparency to its public initiatives,' Mr. Yadav said. He claimed that while the Central government has not shirked its responsibility in aiding development in the State, the West Bengal government has 'stopped' the Centre's initiatives from being fully implemented in the State. Mr. Majumdar claimed that the State's government has based its actions on 'corruption, appeasement politics, communal disharmony' and alleged that industry would have flourished in West Bengal if the Trinamool government operated with transparency and welcomed the Centre's development initiatives. The legislators also expressed confidence in the BJP forming the government in West Bengal following the Assembly elections in 2026 and said it will 'restore the State's legacy and glory'.
