Can India afford to ignore Pakistan's repeated threats? Experts debate on Gaurav Sawant's show
After Field Marshal Asim Munir, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and now Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has threatened India over the Indus waters treaty, which has been held in abeyance since May following the Pahalgam terror attack. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said, "I want to tell the enemy today that if you threaten to hold our water, then keep this in mind that you cannot snatch even one drop of Pakistan.' A day earlier, former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari termed the IWT's suspension an attack on the Indus Valley Civilisation and said the nation would not back down if New Delhi forced it into war. There's a clear pattern to these threats that are emerging from Pakistan. So, can India afford to ignore these repeated Pakistani threats and has US President Donald Trump sacrificed the India-US strategic partnership at the altar of a cryptocurrency deal with Pakistan or to regain a toehold in the region to keep an eye on Iran or is there another game at play here? Watch as experts discuss these and more on the show.

J&K: Soldier killed in Uri as Army foils LoC infiltration bid; Chinar Corps expressed 'deepest condolences'
SRINAGAR: Havildar Ankit Kumar of 9 Bihar Regiment was killed early Wednesday while fighting armed intruders near the Loc in Uri sector of north Kashmir's Baramulla district — the third Army fatality in five days in counterterrorism operations, raising the year's security death toll in J&K to 17. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Army's 15 Corps, or Chinar Corps, confirmed on social media the death of Kumar, 35, and expressed 'deepest condolences' to the bereaved family. Sources said the infiltration bid was foiled, but the intruders exploited poor visibility and monsoon rain to retreat into PoK. It was the first such attempt in Uri since Operation Sindoor in early May when heavy Pakistani firing and shelling followed India's destruction of terrorist infrastructure in PoK and Pakistan after the April 22 Pahalgam massacre that left 22 people dead, most of them tourists. 'This is clear proof that old patterns of infiltration attempts backed by Pakistan will persist,' said Luv Puri, former UN counterterrorism official and Kashmir analyst. 'In the current climate where renewed US-Pakistan engagement is being discussed, the purpose of the infiltration attempt seems to be to signal that nothing has changed and that shifting geopolitical winds may only have emboldened them to make this point. ' The Uri clash came a day after the Army ended an 11-day offensive in south Kashmir's Kulgam district, where two soldiers — Lance Naik Pritpal Singh and Sepoy Harminder Singh of 19 Rashtriya Rifles — were killed and 10 personnel wounded before a terrorist was shot dead. Of the 17 security personnel killed in J&K operations this year, four have died in Kashmir and 13 in Jammu division. Security forces have killed 14 terrorists in Kashmir so far in 2025, among them three top Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives linked to the Pahalgam attack, gunned down in Srinagar on July 28.

On Monday, soldier Banoth Anil Kumar died after falling into a deep gorge during a routine patrol near the LoC in Uri sector. He was from Telangana.
