Brasilia: Representatives of the Parliaments of 10 member countries, including India, participated in the annual meeting of the 11th BRICS Parliamentary Forum held in Brasilia on June 4-5, 2025. India was led by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla along with a high-level Parliamentary Delegation, the official statement observed. The statement noted that the Parliaments of 10 BRICS countries strongly condemned the Pahalgam terror attacks and agreed to cooperate on a 'zero tolerance' policy against terrorism.

According to the official statement, this year, the 10 member countries participating in the BRICS Parliamentary Forum were India, Brazil, Russia, China, South Africa, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Indonesia. Representatives of these countries' Parliaments actively participated in the Conference and played a significant role in drafting the joint declaration. Notably, after several rounds of intense discussions and deliberations during the conference, broad consensus was reached on key topics such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), global trade and economy, inter-parliamentary cooperation, global peace, and security. As per the statement, the perspectives presented by India on various issues were appreciated by all countries and were unanimously included in the final joint declaration. In particular, India's decisive stance on terrorism was taken seriously. India strongly condemned terrorist attacks and emphatically called for adopting a "zero tolerance" policy against terrorism. Significantly, the joint declaration strongly condemned the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India, and it was agreed that the Parliaments of all BRICS countries would work together united against terrorism. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla emphasised joint efforts on cutting off financial assistance to terrorist organisations, sharing intelligence, preventing misuse of modern technologies, and cooperating in investigation and judicial processes. India's policy and leadership were specially commended, and the BRICS Parliaments recognised that the active participation of all nations is essential to maintain global peace and security. At the conference, Om Birla effectively presented India's clear and strong role on various topics -- especially global cooperation against terrorism, a just and balanced global order, participation in technological innovations, and democratic exchanges. As per the statement, at the conclusion of the Conference, the hosting of the next 12th BRICS Parliamentary Forum was entrusted to India, and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla was appointed as its Chairperson.

Ananya Panday Calls Herself A ‘3/10 Actor' In Viral Video; Reddit Trolls Her Brutally

Last Updated: Ananya Panday called herself a 3/10 actor in a resurfaced video, sparking viral trolling and heated PR debates on Reddit and social media. A throwback video of Ananya Panday rating herself as an actor has resurfaced on Reddit and is going viral for all the wrong reasons. The clip, from a rapid-fire segment on Pinkvilla, features Ananya playfully struggling to rate her own acting skills. Initially hesitant, she says, 'I can't do this… Like a 3… How can I rate myself as an actor?" Her Call Me Bae co-stars Niharika Dutt and Muskkaan Jaferi try to lift her spirits, nudging her to rate herself higher. Eventually, Ananya settles on a 7 out of 10. While her response seemed candid and humorous, the internet didn't take it lightly. Redditors quickly latched onto the video, calling out what they described as another PR move. One user wrote, 'The thing is, it's actually working. People do sympathise with her. All the Insta girlies unite to defend her in any reel criticising her. Unfortunately." Another added, 'Nepotism or no nepotism—if you are focused on winning PR games instead of working on your craft, people won't watch you." A third user sarcastically chimed in, 'Even my 2-month-old can see through these PR tricks. At least be clever about it." The viral backlash has reignited debates around nepotism and image-building in Bollywood, with many questioning whether such self-deprecating moments are genuine or calculated. On the work front, Ananya Panday is gearing up for her next big release, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Kartik Aaryan. The romantic comedy is already making waves, especially after the makers revealed the release date—February 13, 2026—along with a romantic poster showing the duo kissing behind an Indian passport. The film, directed by Satyaprem Ki Katha's Sameer Vidwans, is being jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures. It also marks Kartik Aaryan's return to Karan Johar's production house following their much-publicised fallout during Dostana 2. Fans are excited to see Kartik and Ananya reunite after their successful pairing in Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), making this one of the most awaited rom-coms on the horizon.

BJP slams Rahul Gandhi, calls him Pakistan's spokesperson

Rahul Gandhi (Picture credit: PTI) NEW DELHI: On the day when Rahul Gandhi 's surrender barb at PM Narendra Modi became a talking point in Pakistan as lawmakers and ministers used his remarks and statements to fuel their anti-India propaganda, BJP on Thursday attacked the Congress MP for alleging that Trump forced India to accept a ceasefire on May 10, with Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan saying he is promoting Pakistan propaganda. "Rahul Gandhi is Pakistan's spokesperson. Pakistan would not acknowledge this and he would deny this. But the Congress leader's conduct is the clinching evidence," Pradhan said, adding, "This is not a conspiracy theory, nor is it motivated by partisanship. The proof is in the public domain and for everyone to see. He has been Pakistan's trumpet." Pradhan said from accusing Hindus and Hindutva of violence to lying that India surrendered to foreign pressure to suspend Operation Sindoor , Rahul has unfailingly parroted Islamabad line. "He copies and pastes statements on Pakistan's website and exposes his stupidity," Pradhan said. Pakistan defence minister Khwaja Asif, in a viral video, could be heard speaking about Rahul's jibe at the Indian govt. "People of India are beginning to realise that their Prime Minister has surrendered," Asif claimed, in an attempt to save his own face after his humiliating takedown during Operation Sindoor. Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju also took note of the viral video and slammed the Congress MP for crossing the line, so much so that it seems to be going against the nation. "There is a limit to stupidity & opposition! There's nobody in Congress Party to tell him that being in the opposition party does not mean, to oppose the nation?" TNN
