Ranveer Allahbadia Shows Laden's Photo On Piers Morgan Show To Expose Pakistan On Terrorism
Last Updated:
Allahabadia appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, exposing Pakistan's terrorism links, defending India's actions post-Pahalgam attack
Indian podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia, who stayed away from the limelight after his ' sex with parents" remark caused nationwide outrage, appeared on the Piers Morgan Uncensored talk show, where two representatives from Pakistan were also present to discuss the latest conflict between the two neighbouring countries.
Allahabadia exposed Pakistan's terrorism links and said the nation has become the terror hub of the world. He defended India's retaliatory actions in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack as 'precision-oriented, moderated, and a retaliation".
India has never been 'an aggressor in any of these situations", the podcaster pointed out.
On the show, Allahabadia showed photos of Osama bin Laden, founder of terror group al-Qaeda, who was killed in Abbottabad in Pakistan in 2011, and said he was found 800 metres from a military base. The world only knows this person (Osama bin Laden)… India has a list of people like him," he added.
Allahabadia also displayed a photograph of US-designated global terrorist and senior LeT commander Hafiz Abdul Rauf who was leading funeral prayers for the terrorists killed in India's cross-border precision strikes.
'A UN-designated terrorist was being celebrated by the Pakistani military. If you check with the US, they'd tell you he is Abdul Rauf… Rauf's face is the one that India recognises," he said while showing his picture.
Allahbadia's video clip from the show where he was showing pictures of Laden and Rauf was widely shared on social media. The panel on Piers Morgan's talk show also featured Indian journalist Barkha Dutt, former Foreign Minister of Pakistan Hina Khar, and Shehzad Ghias Shaikh from 'The Pakistan Experience'.
Hitting out further at Pakistan, the podcaster highlighted India's economy is eleven times that of Pakistan's. He slammed the Pakistani narrative of India trying to gain sympathy from the world.
'Piers, my question is to you. You've seen the objective facts and figures. What do you feel about this situation?" he asked.
Morgan fired another question at him on his now-deleted post controversial where he addressed 'Pakistani brothers and sisters' whom he said he doesn't hate.
Allahabad said he deleted the post because the ceasefire was announced.
'I deleted it because Pakistan had just broken the ceasefire and gave us another reason to not trust the entire state once again," Allahbadia said. 'Even if you try to have a conversation with Pakistan, it responds with 'where's the proof of the Pahalgam attack?… We are combatting terrorism and Pakistan exports terrorism… This is not an Indian narrative, this is the narrative that the world should know," he said.

US tariff revenue hits record high in May, helping cut budget deficit
US customs duties climbed to a record in May, helping shrink the budget deficit for the month, while doubts remain about the persistence of the inflows as the Trump administration negotiates with trading partners and faces a judicial challenge over its levies. The Treasury Department recorded $23 billion in customs-duties revenue for May, according the agency's monthly budget statement. This represents a $17 billion, or 270 per cent, increase from the same month a year earlier. May's figure is more than triple the monthly average of 2024. The jump in customs duties revenue reflects several new tariffs put in place by President Donald Trump, the bulk of which took effect in early April. The highest levies on China were reduced temporarily in mid-May, when the US and China reached a preliminary deal. This week, US-China talks yielded a framework for an agreement, though Chinese President Xi Jinping still has to sign off on it. Also helping last month's finances: a decline in the Treasury's cost of servicing its debt. That was thanks to smaller payments on inflation-linked securities, and a reduced discount on Treasury bills, an agency official said. Still, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent earlier Wednesday warned that the US faces another supersized deficit for the current year. Speaking at a House panel, he told lawmakers the gap would be 6.5 per cent to 6.7 per cent of gross domestic product — a third straight year in excess of 6 per cent. Bessent wants to shrink it toward 3 per cent. Increasing spending on Social Security and healthcare programs continue to drive US outlays higher, Wednesday's data also showed.

India slips to 131st position in Global Gender Gap Index 2025
With a parity score of just 64.1 per cent, India is among the lowest-ranked countries in South Asia, according to the report released on Thursday. New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI) India has ranked 131 out of 148 countries in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2025, slipping two places from its position last year. The Global Gender Gap Index measures gender parity across four key dimensions: Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. The Indian economy's overall performance improved in absolute terms by +0.3 points. 'One of the dimensions where India increases parity is in Economic Participation and Opportunity, where its score improves by +.9 percentage points to 40.7 per cent. While most indicator values remain the same, parity in estimated earned income rises from 28.6 per cent to 29.9 per cent, positively impacting the subindex score,' the report said. Scores in labour force participation rate remained the same (45.9 per cent) as last year — India's highest achieved to date. In educational attainment, the report said, India scored 97.1 per cent, reflecting positive shifts in female shares for literacy and tertiary education enrolment, which result in positive score improvements for the subindex as a whole. 'India also records higher parity in health and survival, driven by improved scores in sex ratio at birth and in healthy life expectancy,' it said. However, similar to other countries, parity in healthy life expectancy is obtained despite an overall reduction in the life expectancy of men and women, the report said. 'Where India records a slight drop in parity (-0.6 points) since the last edition is in Political Empowerment. Female representation in Parliament falls from 14.7 per cent to 13.8 per cent in 2025, lowering the indicator score for the second year in a row below 2023 levels,' it said. Similarly, the share of women in ministerial roles falls from 6.5 per cent to 5.6 per cent, moving the indicator score (5.9 per cent) further away this year from its highest level (30 per cent in 2019), it said. With notable gains in political empowerment and economic participation, Bangladesh emerged as the best performer in South Asia, jumping 75 ranks to rank 24 globally. Nepal ranked 125, Sri Lanka 130, Bhutan 119, Maldives 138 and Pakistan 148. The report said the global gender gap has closed to 68.8 per cent, marking the strongest annual advancement since the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet full parity remains 123 years away at current rates, according to the report. Iceland leads the rankings for the 16th year running, followed by Finland, Norway, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The 19th edition of the report, which covers 148 economies, revealed both encouraging momentum and persistent structural barriers facing women worldwide. The progress made in this edition was driven primarily by significant strides in political empowerment and economic participation while educational attainment and health and survival maintained near-parity levels above 95 per cent. However, despite women representing 41.2 per cent of the global workforce, a stark leadership gap persists with women holding only 28.8 per cent of top leadership positions, the report said. 'At a time of heightened global economic uncertainty and a low growth outlook combined with technological and demographic change, advancing gender parity represents a key force for economic renewal,' said Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director, World Economic Forum. 'The evidence is clear. Economies that have made decisive progress towards parity are positioning themselves for stronger, more innovative and more resilient economic progress,' Zahidi said.

Chief Justice's judicial terrorism caution amid government's overreach charge
Chief Justice of India BR Gavai said that while judicial activism remains an enduring aspect of India's democracy, it must not cross the line into 'judicial terrorism.'Speaking during an informal interaction with Indian students at Trinity College, Oxford Union, Chief Justice Gavai addressed the ongoing debate surrounding the judiciary's 'intrusion' into the legislative domain."Judicial activism is bound to stay. At the same time, judicial activism should not be turned into judicial terrorism. So, at times, you try to exceed the limits and try to enter into an area where, normally, the judiciary should not enter," he said in response to a The Chief Justice's remarks come at a time when the government has accused the judiciary of overreach. Gavai clarified that the judiciary would intervene if the legislature or executive failed in their duty to safeguard fundamental rights, but that judicial review should be used sparingly."This power has to be exercised in a very limited area in very exception cases, like, say, a statute, is violative of the basic structure of the Constitution, or it is in direct conflict with any of the fundamental rights of the Constitution, or if the statute is so patently arbitrary, discriminatory," he stated. "The courts can exercise it, and the courts have done so."Gavai's comments echoed the note of caution sounded by Justice Surya Kant during his keynote address at the 'Envision India Conclave' in San Francisco earlier this week. Kant had stressed that courts must not supplant the role of the legislature or override the will of the they must act as facilitators of democratic dialogue - strengthening participatory governance, protecting the vulnerable, and ensuring rule of law prevails even in moments of political uncertainty," Kant had said. "Judicial overreach risks unsettling the delicate balance of power."Chief Justice Gavai, who is the second Dalit and first Buddhist to hold India's highest judicial office, characterised the Constitution as a "quiet revolution etched in ink." He described it as a transformative force that not only guarantees rights but actively uplifts the historically Chief Justice also urged Indian students studying at British universities to return and contribute to nation-building."The only appeal to you is that after you complete your studies, you do not remain here. Come back to India. Give your services to make our Bharat strong and one of the most important powers in the entire globe," he said. "So, Bharat needs you, respond to that need."With PTI inputs
