Hurriyat leader endorses Aug 5 protest
In a statement, Bhat said that August 5, 2019, marks the darkest chapter in Kashmir's political history — when India unilaterally abrogated Articles 370 and 35A, stripping the region of its limited autonomy and constitutional guarantees.
"Our protest will send a clear message: the Kashmiri nation rejects illegal occupation and stands united in its peaceful quest for freedom and dignity."
Hurriyat leader praised the unwavering resilience of Kashmiris who, despite continued lockdowns, communication blackouts, and military repression, have never surrendered their will. Bhat strongly condemned Indian Home Minister Amit Shah's provocative remarks against the All Parties Hurriyat Conference.

PTI not a political party but a fascist group: Azma Bokhari
Listen to article Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari on Monday said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was not a political party but a fascist group that seeks to destabilise the country. Addressing a press conference in Lahore, she accused PTI of promoting unrest and undermining national interests. She claimed that PTI had fled from the Sambrial and Muridke by-elections out of fear of public rejection. 'This group caused the May 9 incidents—an event that must not be forgiven, or it will keep repeating,' she said. Bokhari stressed that only the Supreme Court holds the authority to impose bans but insisted that 'to move the country forward, it is essential to rid ourselves of this chaos-spreading party'. Bokhari questioned the political legitimacy of PTI, referring to its alleged role in guerrilla-style conspiracies. 'Is a group waging guerrilla war and conspiring against Pakistan a political party?' she asked, adding, 'The terrorist group will not be allowed to destroy Pakistan's law and order.' Read: PTI alliance mobilises for August 5 'power show' Referring to PTI's protest planned for August 5, she said no one is ready to accept responsibility for the day. She criticised PTI for calling for processions while remaining silent on national causes. Responding to reports of a potential deal for PTI's founder to leave the country, Bokhari said, 'I've heard about the deal, but I don't know for sure'. Turning to foreign affairs, she accused PTI chief Imran of advancing American interests, stating, 'The Jewish lobby has relaunched its product; Khan promoted American interests'. She ridiculed Imran's previous stance on independence, saying, 'Are we slaves? Is real freedom being promoted through ads? Previously, he asked for freedom from America; now, even his son is demanding freedom'. 'Instead of threatening America, now write on vehicles: 'Trump, only you are our hope',' she added mockingly. Bokhari stated that even PTI leader Ali Amin Gandapur had acknowledged Punjab's development during a visit to Lahore. She said, 'They talk of 'final calls', but their protest movements never materialise—protest calls on November 26 and April 9 were both cancelled'. She reaffirmed the government's commitment to national interest, highlighting Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz's zero-tolerance policy on sugar hoarding. 'Many arrests have been made, and the government will take custody of stockpiled sugar from mills,' she said. She concluded by asserting that the current government was committed to protecting Pakistan's welfare, saying, 'This is a government that safeguards the interests of the people.'

Top Trump aide accuses India of financing Russia's war in Ukraine
A top aide to President Donald Trump on Sunday accused India of effectively financing Russia's war in Ukraine by purchasing oil from Moscow, after the US leader escalated pressure on New Delhi to stop buying Russian oil. "What he (Trump) said very clearly is that it is not acceptable for India to continue financing this war by purchasing the oil from Russia," said Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff at the White House and one of Trump's most influential aides. Miller's criticism was some of the strongest yet by the Trump administration about one of the United States' major partners in the Indo-Pacific. "People will be shocked to learn that India is basically tied with China in purchasing Russian oil. That's an astonishing fact," Miller said on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures." The Indian Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Indian government sources told Reuters on Saturday that New Delhi will keep purchasing oil from Moscow despite US threats. A 25% tariff on Indian products went into effect on Friday as a result of its purchase of military equipment and energy from Russia. Trump has also threatened 100% tariffs on US imports from countries that buy Russian oil unless Moscow reaches a major peace deal with Ukraine. Miller tempered his criticism by noting Trump's relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which he described as "tremendous."

India wraps up mass Hindu pilgrimage
Hindu pilgrims gesture as they begin their pilgrimage to the cave shrine of Amarnath from a base camp in Pahalgam on June 28, 2024. (File) AFP More than 400,000 Hindus took part in a month-long pilgrimage in contested Indian-run Kashmir, authorities said, shrugging off security worries weeks after conflict with Pakistan. The pilgrimage began on July 3 and closes officially on August 9, but organisers said that lashing rains had damaged narrow paths forcing a premature end. Official Vijay Kumar Bidhuri said in a statement late Saturday that 415,000 pilgrims had taken part. Many of the faithful began their trek to the Amarnath ice pillar from near Pahalgam, where gunmen on April 22 killed 26 mostly Hindu tourists in the Muslim-majority region. New Delhi said the gunmen were backed by Pakistan, claims Islamabad rejected — triggering a series of tit-for-tat diplomatic measures that escalated into a four-day conflict. It was the worst standoff by the nuclear-armed nations since 1999, with more than 70 people killed in missile, drone and artillery fire on both sides, before a May 10 ceasefire. AFP
