Nagaland Turns Back 200 Vehicles Carrying Illegal Migrants From Assam Border
The Niuland district administration along with the Nagaland Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) intercepted and turned back over 200 vehicles carrying evicted illegal immigrants from Assam at various checkpoints across the district, sources have told NDTV.
This comes at a time when the Nagaland government issued an advisory to the police to check evicted illegal migrants from Assam trying to enter the state.
District-level intelligence teams were deployed at the check gates to assist in identifying and processing the occupants, sources said.
In the last two days, over 200 vehicles that were attempting to transport individuals evicted during the Assam government's drive have been turned back after checking their credentials and it was found that they were evicted in the recent anti-encroachment drive in different parts of Assam.
Three states in the northeast have issued an alert cautioning against the entry of illegal migrants from Assam, where the Himanta Biswa Sarma government has been carrying out massive eviction drives.
The advisory issued by neighbouring Manipur, Meghalaya and Nagaland said all officers concerned should report any movement of suspected illegal migrants immediately. They have to collect the suspects' biometric and biographic data, too.
The three states are concerned that the encroachers and illegal migrants evicted from Assam government lands may enter their states.
Yesterday, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma chaired a high-level review meeting to assess the state's preparedness and strengthen border vigilance due to the ongoing eviction drive in Assam against illegal immigrants.
The meeting aimed to prevent a spillover of illegal migrants from Assam entering neighbouring Meghalaya. It also reviewed the potential fallout of Assam's eviction drive and its impact on Meghalaya's border areas.
Manipur Police today gave revised instructions outlining the procedure for detection, restriction of movement, and deportation of illegal immigrants.
In addition, a comprehensive standard operating procedure (SOP) for verification and detection of illegal immigrants, including Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals, has been provided to ensure uniform and coordinated action at the district level.
To strengthen enforcement, special task forces (STFs) have been formed to detect, identify, and take appropriate legal action against illegal immigrants residing in Manipur, police sources added.

'India destroyed 1,000 Pakistani missiles mid-air, Congress waited for slip up': PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took multiple swipes at the Opposition, accusing them of being obsessed with finding even a single instance of his failure during Operation Sindoor. Addressing the Lok Sabha, the prime minister said while the whole country was proud when India destroyed all Pakistani missiles in the sky, Congress was waiting to find one instance to attack him. 'Pakistan launched 1,000 missiles and drones towards India, but they were destroyed mid-air by our armed forces. If they had fallen on any part, it would have led to huge destruction, but india destroyed them in the sky. Whole India was proud of it, but Congress was waiting,' PM Modi said. 'Modi kahin toh fasega [Modi will slip up somewhere]' the prime minister said. Attacking Congress more, the prime minister said the party 'operates through the remote control' of Pakistan. 'The country is surprised that Congress has given a clean chit to Pakistan. They are saying that the terrorists of Pahalgam were from Pakistan. Give us proof of this. Pakistan is also demanding the same thing that Congress is making,' he said. 'It has been an old habit with Congress to have a negative approach to the armed forces; Congress yet to embrace Kargil win,' PM Modi said.

Unfortunately, Congress is importing issues from Pakistan..." "Just 3-4 days after the 22nd April terrorist attack, they [Congress] started jumping up and down. They started saying, "kahan gayi 56 inch ki chhati?" "Kahan kho gaya Modi?" "Modi has failed"...They were shaping their politics even in the murder of innocent people in Pahalgam," he said. PM Modi said the Congress needs excuses to keep attacking the government. "Some people are crying here too. They tried to play a game during surgical strike, it didn't work. During airstrike, they tried playing another game. That didn't work either. When #OperationSindoor took place, they adopted a new tactic - "Why did you stop?"...Waah re bayan bahaduron! You need one or the other excuse to oppose."

Akhilesh Questions Timing Of Pahalgam Revenge, Hints At Ceasefire ‘Friendship' With US
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has stirred a major political storm by questioning the timing and intent of Operation Mahadev, the Indian Army-led offensive that killed three Pakistani terrorists linked to the Pahalgam massacre. During a fiery Lok Sabha debate, Akhilesh asked why civilians weren't protected in Pahalgam on April 22 and who would be held accountable for the security lapse. He claimed Operation Sindoor was necessitated by government failure, and even suggested a hidden understanding with the U.S. and Pakistan behind the ceasefire. Taking a poetic dig at PM Modi, Akhilesh said: "Main duniya ko manane mein laga hoon, mera ghar mujhse rootha ja raha hai." While acknowledging the Army's sacrifice, he criticized the media portrayal of the strikes as exaggerated. Is this political scrutiny or playing into enemy hands?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking in Lok Sabha during the ongoing special discussion on Operation Sindoor, defended the military action taken in response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam. The attack had claimed 26 lives, mostly tourists. Modi rejected claims of international pressure on India, stating clearly that 'no leader in the world asked India to stop' its operations. Modi also responded to allegations by Congress and its allies regarding the ceasefire with Pakistan. The PM refuted suggestions that the United States played a mediating role, countering opposition claims that US President Donald Trump had repeatedly claimed to broker peace. 'Congress and its allies have unfortunately become spokespersons of Pakistani propaganda,' he said. Terrorism won't be spared, says Modi Addressing the Pahalgam terror attack, the Prime Minister called it the 'height of cruelty.' He emphasized that India would not spare terrorism or those behind it. According to Modi, after the attack, India launched Operation Sindoor as a direct military response. 'The perpetrators of terrorism won't be spared,' he said. PM Modi in Parliament: "NO leader of the world asked us to STOP our action." 🔥🔥PM Modi dismisses US President Donald Trump on India-Pakistan Ceasefire claims. #ModiGovtAgainstTerror #NarendraModi He further added that Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) had reached out pleading, saying: 'Don't hit us anymore, we can't suffer any longer.' Response to opposition's charges on ceasefire and Trump In response to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who questioned why Operation Sindoor was halted within 22 minutes and dared Modi to call Donald Trump a liar, the PM said that the decision to stop was India's own. Modi reiterated that India did not bow to any external pressure. 'No country in the world has stopped India from taking any action in its defence,' he said, adding that 'India showed the world we will not bow to nuclear blackmail.' He also said that the world supported India's actions, but the opposition questioned them. Referring to the U.S. Vice President's call on May 9, Modi said, 'He warned me of a big attack from Pakistan. I told him that our response would be bigger. We will respond to bullets with cannons.' If PM Modi has even 50% of the courage Indira Gandhi had, let him make a statement in parliament that Trump is a liar, US didn't force a ceasefire, and we didn't lose any fighter planes.- Shri @RahulGandhi Defence minister, Shah back operation; Opposition fires back Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said in Rajya Sabha that Operation Sindoor was not only a message to Pakistan but also to its supporters. He added that if Pakistan cannot handle terrorism, 'India is ready to help.'

Shah stated that all three were 'A-Grade' terrorists on the National Investigation Agency's radar. Meanwhile, Congress leaders including Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge questioned the government on the ceasefire terms and the lack of security personnel at the Pahalgam site. Priyanka Gandhi asked why no forces were present to prevent the attack, while Kharge raised questions about repeated U.S. claims of ceasefire mediation. Akhilesh Yadav, SP criticise ceasefire announcement route Samajwadi Party MP Akhilesh Yadav also joined the criticism, questioning why the ceasefire was first announced via social media, pointing to Donald Trump's post on Truth Social. He suggested that diplomatic communications should not rely on such channels. Modi says world saw a new India In his concluding remarks, PM Modi said the world witnessed the strength of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' during the operation. He claimed that India's armed forces were given full freedom and made sure 'masters of terrorism can't sleep peacefully anymore.' He termed this aggressive stance against terror the 'new normal.'
