Trichy: Deputy chief minister
Udhayanidhi Stalin
chaired a consultation meeting of the newly appointed DMK state and district youth wing office-bearers in Trichy on Sunday.
During the meeting, fifteen resolutions were passed including lauding recent court verdicts and criticising the Union govt.
One of the resolutions extended condolences to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the martyrs of Operation Sindhoor with a praise for the efforts of the Indian armed forces. The participants welcomed the Supreme Court's ruling on the powers of the governor and the conviction of accused in the Pollachi sexual assault case. They said Union govt has been 'undermining' state autonomy and 'deliberately delaying' the release of the Keeladi excavation report.
"The researcher submitted the report that establishes Tamil history as dating back 2,200 years to the Union archaeological department in Jan 2023. However, the Union govt not only delayed its release and failed to respond to it in the Parliament, but it has now returned the report requesting amendments," a resolution read.
According to sources, Udhayanidhi Stalin, also the DMK youth wing secretary, reiterated that the DMK would not be intimidated by Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids, and criticized the AIADMK-BJP alliance.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this heartbreaking tragedy," Shehbaz Sharif said in a post on his X. Shehbaz's elder brother and three-time former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif also offered condolences to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people of India over the loss of life in the plane crash on a post on his X handle. "This devastating loss transcends borders and reminds us of our shared humanity," he wrote. Pakistan People's Party Chairman and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said: "Saddened to hear a tragic incident occurred earlier today.

Pakistan worms back into US good books as 'Field Marshal' Asim Munir goes to Washington
Pakistan army Lt Gen Syed Asim Munir attends a ceremony in Islamabad, Pakistan, November 1, 2022. (AP file photo) TOI correspondent from Washington: Pakistani expat supporters of former PM Imran Khan are lining up protests against the country's de facto military ruler, "Field Marshal" Asim Munir, who is scheduled to arrive in Washington DC on Thursday to attend a military parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of US Army. "General Asim Munir and his regime have committed some of the worst human rights abuses in Pakistan's history. Pakistani-Americans from across the country will travel to Washington this Saturday, the 14th, to demand a lifting of the martial law, an end to human rights violations, and restoration of the constitution," the US wing of the Imran Khan's PTI said in a statement. Munir is a guest of the Centcom commander Gen Michael Kurilla, who gave glowing testimonials to Pakistan as a "phenomenal partner" in counter-terrorism at a congressional hearing earlier this week, underscoring rejuvenated ties between Washington and Islamabad. The remarks came in the face of Pakistan's terrorist depredations in the US and in India, where officials attribute the uptick in terror attacks in Kashmir, including the Pahalgam carnage, to Munir's hardline policies aimed at keeping the military relevant. Once a "frontline ally" and a "major non-Nato partner", Pakistan's ties with US have been moribund for almost 15 years following a tactical alliance during the Bush presidency to vanquish Al Qaeda and ISIS, even as Washington forged strategic ties with New Delhi with a civilian nuclear deal and began to view India as a counterweight to China. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025: Steel Suppliers From Mexico At Lowest Prices (Take A Look) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo Successive US Presidents after Bush, including Obama, Trump in his first term, and Biden, largely ignored the country. But ties have rebounded dramatically over the past 15 weeks after the Pakistani establishment reached out to Trump surrogates to play a "get out of jail" card, dangling lucrative contracts in mineral exploration and cryptocurrency to Trump surrogates to make inroads into Washington. Among them is Gentry Beach, a Texas-based businessman, hedge fund manager, and CEO/co-founder of Highground Holdings and Valence Chemicals, who is a longtime friend and associate of Donald Trump Jr., having met him at the Wharton School of Business in the 1990s. Beach led a US business investor delegation to Pakistan soon after the Trump II inauguration to explore investments in luxury real estate, mining, energy, technology, with his company White Bridge Mining, signing an agreement for exploration of gold and other minerals. Following meetings with top Pakistani leaders in Islamabad and Dubai, Beach began talking up Pakistan in Washington, calling it an "amazing country" and echoing Islamabad's talking points that it has been on the "frontlines in the war on terrorism" and "sacrificed so much for America. " Trump himself began taking a charitable view of Pakistan after having lambasted it during his first term. "The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!' he tweeted in January 2018. He also suspended $1.3 billion in security assistance to Pakistan, citing its failure to crack down on terrorist networks. But amid scuttlebutt that Pakistan had bought its way back into Washington's good books, the US President took a more benign view of Islamabad, asserting on June 6, 'Pakistan has very strong leadership. Some people won't like when I say that, but it is what it is."
