India to send team to UNSC with fresh proof of Pakistan terror links
According to sources, the team will present the latest evidence highlighting Pakistan's complicity in terrorism.
The evidence will also focus on the role of The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, in which 26 innocent civilians were killed.
The 1267 sanctions committee, also known as the ISIS and Al-Qaida sanctions committee, which was established under UNSC Resolution in 1999, is one of the most important UN subsidiary bodies working towards combating terrorism, particularly in relation to ISIS, Al-Qaida and associated individuals, groups, undertakings and entities, the sources said.
It also oversees sanction measures related to individuals, entities and groups, associated with the terror organizations and ensures the implementation of sanctions pursuant to UNSC resolutions 1267 (1999), 1989 (2011) and 2253 (2015), they added.
The Indian government's decision has come after a ceasefire was declared amid chances of Indian and Pakistan reaching to the brink of an all-out war after India's response to Pahalgam terror attack by conducting 'Operation Sindoor' in which nine terror hideouts deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) were targeted and destroyed earlier this week.

Trump imposed additional tariffs on India to create 'secondary pressure' on Russia over Ukraine war, says White House US President Donald Trump has announced new higher tariffs on Indian goods as part of his plan to pressure Russia to end the war in Ukraine, the White House said on Tuesday. Trump has decided to double tariffs on India to 50 per cent by adding an extra 25 per cent duty. The new rates will come into effect on August 27. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the president was putting strong public pressure to stop the war. She said Trump had already taken steps, including sanctions on India, to create 'secondary pressure' on Moscow. This decision comes just a few days after Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House. Both leaders suggested that progress had been made toward possible three-way talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump called the meeting 'a very successful day,' while Zelenskyy said it was the 'best conversation' he had had with the US president so far.

NCERT releases two special modules hailing Operation Sindoor
The National Council for Education Research and Training (NCERT) has introduced two special modules on Operation Sindoor, calling the special military operation against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) 'a triumph of bravery, strategy and innovation.' The modules are aimed at familiarising students with the country's military prowess during Operation Sindoor (AFP) 'Operation Sindoor— A Saga of Valour', is meant for preparatory and middle stages (Classes 3 to 8), and 'Operation Sindoor— A Mission of Honour and Bravery' is meant for students in the secondary stage (Classes 9 to 12). The modules are aimed at familiarising students with the country's military prowess. NCERT modules are supplementary resources in English and Hindi that cover contemporary and culturally significant topics. They are separate short publications on specific topics that are not part of the textbooks but taught through projects, posters, discussions, and debates. The modules state that even though Pakistan denied any involvement in the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, it was carried out on 'direct orders' by 'Pakistan's military and political leadership.' They also go into detail about the role of the Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy, in planning and executing the attack, in what is referred to in the modules as a conspiracy also involving Pakistan's ISI. They also feature strategy details that went into the operation, maps of targeted sites and photographs of destroyed Pakistani drones, as well as information on India's air defence systems, including the S-400, which intercepted and neutralised enemy aircraft and drones. The secondary module also provides details on the country's response in the immediate aftermath of the Pahalgam attack. 'Candlelight marches were held from across the country. Muslim communities in Hyderabad, Lucknow, and Bhopal wore black armbands and openly denounced the attack. In Kashmir, shopkeepers closed their shops in protest. Villages near the border demanded strong action and supported the Armed Forces,' the module states. It adds that the local (Kashmiri) population 'stood up and spoke against terrorists. Their response breaks stereotypes and shows the real voice of peace-loving people.' India launched Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7 and struck nine terror and military installations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as a response to the Pahalgam terror strike in which 26 people were shot dead by terrorists. In June, defence minister Rajnath Singh said Operation Sindoor was the natural progression from the 2016 surgical strikes and the 2019 Balakot airstrikes in Pakistan, and it was conducted in a manner that forced Islamabad to ask for a ceasefire, articulating India's firm resolve against terror. The modules cite historical examples of India's strong military responses—from the wars of 1947, 1965, 1971, and 1999 to the 2019 Balakot strikes . They also underscore the role of the 'Make in India' initiative in Operation Sindoor, quoting Defence Minister Rajnath Singh: 'The operation proved India can break through any enemy defence using what we have made ourselves.'
