Kremlin Trashes Trump Ultimatum; 'Don't Fear Sanctions, Used To Them'
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar delivered a stinging rebuke to Congress and former PM Jawaharlal Nehru during the Operation Sindoor debate in the Rajya Sabha. He called the Indus Waters Treaty an extraordinary act of appeasement, blaming it for compromising Indian interests to favour Pakistani Punjab. In his boldest statement yet, Jaishankar declared: 'Blood and water will not flow together.' The Modi government, he said, will keep the treaty in abeyance until Pakistan irreversibly ends its support for terrorism. Does Jaishankar's take on Nehru on IWT and Article 370 hint at the Modi govt rewriting Nehruvian foreign policy?#jaishankar #operationsindoor #induswatertreaty #bloodandwater #nehru #congress #pmmodi #modigovernment #rajyasabhadebate #terrorism #pakistansupportterrorism #modivsnehru #foreignpolicy #article370 #nationalsecurity #trending #breakingnews #appeasement #upa #jawaharlalnehru #bjpvscongress #waterdiplomacy #indianpolitics #kashmir #punjab #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

Delhi Confidential: Caught in crossfire
Senior BJP leader and Lok Sabha MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy got a taste of the bitterness between TMC leaders Kalyan Banerjee and Mahua Moitra on Monday. Rudy, who is contesting against his party colleague Sanjeev Balyan for the post of secretary (administration), Constitution Club of India, was at the Makar Dwar of the Parliament House when he saw Banerjee leaving the premises. Rudy approached Banerjee, a four-time MP from Serampore, seeking his vote but the latter shouted at him that he would not support anyone who is backed by Moitra. 'You are supported by Mahua Moitra. I will not vote for you,' Banerjee told Rudy. As the stunned BJP leader looked at him, Banerjee announced that he 'would warn everyone who is friendly' with Moitra to stay away from him. Old Practice Revived Rajya Sabha getting adjourned for the day after being informed about the death of former Jharkhand CM and sitting MP Shibu Soren marked a return to a practice which was discontinued a few years ago. The proceedings of the Upper House were adjourned only for a few hours after the death of former Union Ministers Arun Jaitley (2019), Ram Vilas Paswan (2020) and Congress leader Rajeev Satav (2021). On Monday, Opposition leaders led by Congress's Jairam Ramesh suggested that the House should go back to the old practice of adjournment as a mark of respect to the deceased member. Mission Sindoor The invitation cards for Independence Day programme this year carry a logo of Operation Sindoor, an effort by the government to publicise India's military operation against terror targets in Pakistan in May this year. It is learnt that Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi in an address to senior Army officers post-Operation Sindoor had mentioned the decision to imprint the logo on all cards and official correspondence of the defence services. Senior Army officers are also likely to deliver lectures in schools on Operation Sindoor to create awareness among students on the operation.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Chief Ministers and other leaders across the political spectrum paid tribute to Jharkhand Mukti Morcha co-founder and former Chief Minister Shibu Soren who died Monday. Shah said in a post on X that Soren 'struggled for decades for the rights and empowerment of the tribal community in Jharkhand'. 'With his simple personality and humble nature, he connected with the masses,' Shah wrote. Singh said Soren was counted among the towering leaders of Jharkhand who struggled throughout their lives for the rights and empowerment of the weaker sections of society, especially the tribal community. 'He always remained connected to the land and the people,' he said. West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee said Soren's death has brought a chapter of Jharkhand's history to an end. BJP leader and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said Soren's life was dedicated to the well-being of the deprived, tribals, and labourers. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin wrote on a social media post, 'Thiru Shibu Soren's life was defined by relentless resistance against exploitation and an unshakeable commitment to social justice. As one of the key architects of Jharkhand's statehood movement, he transformed decades of Adivasi assertion into a political force that gave birth to a new state.' Telangana Chief Minister and Congress leader Revanth Reddy hailed Soren's struggles for the formation of Jharkhand and his efforts to address the problems of tribals. JD(U) leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said Soren's 'significant contribution to Jharkhand's politics is noteworthy'. 'His passing has caused an irreparable loss not only to Jharkhand but also to the political and social spheres of the entire country,' Kumar wrote. RJD president Lalu Prasad spoke of 'memories of our joint struggles' for achieving 'social justice and empowerment of deprived classes'. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the former Jharkhand chief minister dedicated his life to the upliftment of tribal society. BJD chief and former Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik, said Soren would be remembered for his dedicated fight for the rights of tribal and marginalised people. Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said Soren was a towering figure in Indian politics and a dedicated statesman who served the people with unwavering commitment.
