PM on ‘very weak wicket, has much to cover up': Congress slams Modi for not denying Trump's claims
The Congress on Wednesday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "refusing to unequivocally" deny US President Donald Trump's repeated claims of brokering a ceasefire bewteen India and Pakistan as he is on a "very weak wicket and has much to cover up." The opposition party also took a swipe at Prime Minister Modi after Trump repeated his claim about playing a role in bringing about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, saying the American leader is coiled around the PM "like a snake" and "hissing bitter truths" into his ear. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday on Air Force One on his way back to Washington from Scotland, Trump repeated the claim that he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan. Tagging a video of Trump's latest remarks, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "This is President Trump yet again - After the PM's intervention yesterday in the Lok Sabha where he deflected and diverted the main issue." "Why is the PM simply refusing to unequivocally and categorically deny what his good friend Donald Trump has now said 30 times in the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UK? The answer is clear. Mr. Narendra Modi is on a very weak wicket and has much to cover up," Ramesh said on X. Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera said, "Trump is coiled around Modi like a snake. And yesterday, Rahul Gandhi handed him the perfect chance to wriggle out of the mess. Just say Trump was lying about the ceasefire." "Simple, right? But no. Modi is allergic to taking Rahul ji's advice. And voilí , today the snake is back, coiled tighter than ever, hissing bitter truths into Modi's ear," Khera said on X.

Flooded Escape Tunnels Trapped Pahalgam Killers. Forces Hunted Them Down
New Delhi: An all-nighter by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, scientists working through the night, a special plane from Srinagar to Chandigarh, and test-firing to match bullet casings -- it took all of this to confirm that the three terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev near Srinagar Monday were the same monsters who murdered 26 innocents in cold blood in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley on April 22. According to sources in the government, the Home Minister wanted to be sure before informing the Parliament that the three terrorists killed in Operation Mahadev are the ones involved in the Pahalgam attack. He was up through Monday night and constantly monitored the developments at the Chandigarh Forensic Science Laboratory over phone and video calls as scientists matched bullet casings and guns recovered after Operation Mahadev. Sources said the Home Minister was up till 5 am, communicating with scientists for a confirmation, and rested for a few hours before heading to Parliament for the big day. Addressing the Lok Sabha during the Operation Sindoor debate yesterday, Mr Shah said, "There is no room for doubt. I am holding the ballistic report, six scientists have cross-checked it and confirmed to me over video call that the bullets fired at Pahalgam and the bullets fired from these guns are a 100 per cent match." Operation Mahadev: 3 Terrorists Gunned Down As Defence Minister Rajnath Singh began the debate on Operation Sindoor in Parliament on Monday, an encounter was underway at Lidwas near Srinagar. A joint team of the Army, CRPF and Jammu and Kashmir police had zeroed in on a hideout after weeks of constantly intercepting terrorists' communication. In the gunfight that followed, three terrorists were gunned down and sophisticated weapons such as assault rifles and rifle grenades were recovered. The forces suspected that these three terrorists were the Pahalgam killers, but the government wanted to leave no room for doubt before it went public. So, while multiple media reports linked Operation Mahadev to the Pahalgam attack, no official confirmation came through. A Perfect Match Security forces had earlier arrested some local residents on charges of assisting the terrorists. They were brought in for the identification of the bodies of the three killed in Lidwas. They confirmed that the terrorists killed in Mahadev were the killers of Pahalgam. But this was not enough. The government insisted on a foolproof match. The terrorists' weapons recovered after Operation Mahadev were then flown to Chandigarh on a special plane. An Air Force cargo plane flew a machine from Ahmedabad to Chandigarh. At the Chandigarh forensic lab, shots were fired from the weapons recovered. The empty bullet casings, generated after the test firing, were then matched with the casings recovered from Baisaran Valley after the attack. It was a 99 per cent match, according to sources. During this entire process, the Home Minister was constantly in touch with the scientists till the final report was ready and sent to him, the sources added. Guns Never Fired After Pahalgam During the matching experiments, Home Minister Shah was told that the last time the terrorists' guns -- an M9 and two AK-47s -- were fired was during the Pahalgam attack. For three months, the terrorists Suleiman, Afghani and Jibran -- were in hiding. All of them Pakistani nationals, they could not return because of the security forces' strategy to prevent their escape. According to sources, the home minister and security hawks chalked out this strategy when he flew to Kashmir hours after the Pahalgam attack. Mr Shah, sources said, had made it clear to the forces that the terrorists must not succeed in returning to Pakistan. The forces identified an 8-km path that they could use to cross over and security was beefed up in that region. The forces located secret tunnels used by the terrorists for infiltration and dug up to flood them. This blocked the routes and foiled their escape plans. Eventually, the forces tracked them down and eliminated them.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder: Congress slams PM Modi, HM Shah for Nehru criticism
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their criticism of India's first PM Jawaharlal Nehru in their remarks in the Lok Sabha, saying they have no answers to their "present-day failures" and they choose to "divert, distract, distort, and defame". Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "Yesterday in the Lok Sabha, both the HM and the PM once again showed that they suffer from what in medical language is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when it comes to Jawaharlal Nehru. It is possible that this will be on display in the Rajya Sabha too today." "They have NO answers to their present-day failures. They have NO answers to legitimate questions that are being raised on their policies and actions," he said. Instead of engaging in meaningful debate, they divert, distract, distort, and defame, he said. "The Home Minister claimed to be a historian of sorts. He is India's second greatest distorian. Top honours in this regard is reserved for the man qualified in Entire Poli(e)tical Science," Ramesh said. Speaking during the discussion in Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Modi said the Congress government under Jawaharlal Nehru lost over 38,000 km of territory of Aksai Chin. He slammed the Indus Waters Treaty agreement that the first prime minister signed with Pakistan as a "big blunder". "Before asking why PoK has not been taken back yet, Congress must respond -- who let it go. India is still suffering the pain of mistakes committed by previous Congress governments, starting from Jawaharlal Nehru," Modi had said.
