India will use every method to deal with Pakistan-backed terrorism: Rajnath Singh
Rajnath Singh
said on Friday.
In an interaction with naval warriors on board aircraft carrier INS Vikrant off Goa, Singh sent a stern warning to Islamabad saying India will not hesitate to use the methods to deal with terrorism that Pakistan cannot even think of.
Operation Sindoor
is not just a military action but India's frontal assault against terrorism, he said.
"We will use every method against terrorism that Pakistan can think of, but we will not hesitate to use those methods also which Pakistan cannot even think of," he said.
The defence minister said it would be in Pakistan's interest to uproot "nurseries of terrorism" operating on its soil.

"
Anti-India activities
are being carried out openly from Pakistani soil. India is completely free to carry out any kind of operation against terrorists, both on this side and the other side of the border and sea," he said.
"Today, the whole world is acknowledging India's right to protect its citizens against terrorism. Today, no power in the world can stop India from doing this work," he said.
Singh also hailed
Indian Navy
's role during Operation Sindoor.
"The Indian Navy has impressed every Indian with its silent service. By remaining silent, the Indian Navy succeeded in keeping the Pakistani army tied down," he said.
When the
Indian Air Force
destroyed terror bases on Pakistani soil, the Indian Navy's aggressive deployment in Arabian Sea confined Pakistani Navy to its own shores, he said.
On the overall operation, he said "our strike was so powerful that Pakistan began pleading with entire world to stop India."
In just a short span of time, we demolished Pakistan's terrorist bases and its intentions, he said adding the speed, depth and clarity with which our armed forces acted were remarkable.
Operation Sindoor not only sent a clear message to terrorists but also to their patrons who nurture them, he added,
On our own terms, we halted our military actions, the defence minister said.

Today in Politics: What the Malegaon verdict means politically
The crucial Malegaon verdict on Thursday has wide-ranging repercussions politically. The acquittal of all the accused, including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit, in the 2008 Malegaon blast case by a special court has given the BJP fresh ammunition to target the Congress, which has been groping in the dark against the ruling party's charge against it of being a 'pro-Muslim' and – by extension – an 'anti-Hindu' party. The Congress has often fallen between two stools in navigating this territory since the BJP's rise in the 1980s and, on Thursday, the central leadership maintained a telling silence in the wake of the Malegaon judgment. The 2008 blasts, blamed on accused with links to Hindutva groups, had come amidst a string of terror incidents under the UPA government. The attack in Malegaon was preceded days earlier by the Batla House encounter, in which alleged terrorists linked to the Indian Mujahideen and to several incidents across the country were killed. Two months later followed the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, one of the worst the country has seen. Even as the government dealt with the attacks, statements by several Congress leaders in their wake landed the UPA government in a sticky situation. Digvijaya Singh, the Congress general secretary, raised doubts over the Batla House encounter by security agencies, suggesting it was 'fake'. In the wake of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, he said he had spoken to Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare hours earlier, and that Karkare had told him he was receiving threats from Hindu extremists. Karkare was at the time heading the investigation into the September 29, 2008, Malegaon blasts. In 2010, the then Union Home Minister P Chidambaram first used the word 'saffron terror'. Addressing an annual conference of DGPs and IGPs, he said: 'There is no let-up in the attempts to infiltrate militants into India. There is no let-up in the attempts to radicalise young men and women. Besides, there is the recently uncovered phenomenon of saffron terrorism that has been implicated in many bomb blasts of the past.' The Congress distanced itself from Chidambaram's remarks then, saying 'terrorism does not have any colour other than black'. The same year, one of the secret diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks quoted Rahul Gandhi as telling then US Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer during a lunch in 2009 that 'the bigger threat (than outfits such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba) may be the growth of radicalised Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community'. In 2012, then Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid also sparked a row when he said that Sonia Gandhi 'wept bitterly' when she was shown images of the Batla House encounter. Following its rout in 2014 and its struggles to rebuild, the Congress has attempted course-correction, with a section in the party emphasising the need to reach out to Hindus. Rahul Gandhi's frequent temple visits and assertions of being a 'Shiva devotee' are seen as a part of it, as well as the party's engagement with the Hindutva vs Hinduism narrative. Manoj C G breaks down these attempts The sudden announcement of President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on Indian goods from August 1, with an additional but unspecified 'penalty' for its defence and energy imports from Russia has put a lot of stress on the Narendra Modi government. This move, coming just ahead of an impending trade agreement, could pull down the economy and cast a shadow on India-US ties, experts say. Former Union Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, who has served as Finance minister for four terms and was also the Commerce and Industry minister, talks to The Indian Express of the tightrope that India must now walk on the negotiations. 'Negotiating a trade agreement with the United States is not easy. It is painstaking. The big obstacle is that we had — and in many cases still have — is high tax. As a result of that, the trade balance between the United States and India is almost $45 billion in our favour. We can say the same thing about our trade with other countries, where the trade balances in favor of the other country. But that is part of the world of commerce… We will have to deal with it. We do not have to bend over. At the same time, we do not have to be defiant,' says Chidambaram. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Thursday said that political parties and electors will be given one full month to add names of eligible citizens or remove names of those they think are ineligible from the draft electoral rolls of Bihar to be published on August 1. In a statement to the voters, the CEC said that as part of the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls of the state, the draft electoral rolls for Bihar are being published on Friday. Physical as well as digital copies will also be given to all the recognised political parties in Bihar in all the 38 districts by the district election officers (DEOs), Kumar said. The CEC's remarks come amid continuous protests by the opposition parties against the SIR, claiming that it will deny eligible citizens of their to right vote for want of documents. They also alleged that the local poll machinery in Bihar could be manipulated by the ruling BJP-JD (U) alliance to its benefit. The protests have disrupted both Houses of Parliament on a daily basis during the ongoing Monsoon session.

Trump's 25 per cent tariff on India: An opportunity, and a step too far
US President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25 per cent tariff on Indian imports, along with a penalty for procuring energy and military equipment from Russia, is a shocker at first sight. But, it also presents a moment for India to seize the initiative and do what is right without losing any more time. A free trade agreement that allows greater access for Indian products to the world's largest market and, at the same time, opens up its economy to American goods and services, is a win-win for both sides. India's exports to the US, at $86.5 billion in 2024-25 (April-March), were higher than those to any other country. Imports from the US, at $45.7 billion, were below only those from China ($113.5 billion), Russia ($63.8 billion) and the UAE ($63.4 billion). A no-deal, simply put, is not in India's interest. The effort should be to not just preserve, but enhance the gains from trade. Trump, no doubt, has overturned the predictable rules and principles governing the global trading order that delivered high growth and lifted the fortunes of millions across countries. His latest unilateral measure, subjecting India to a higher tariff than the UK (10 per cent), the European Union, Japan and Korea (15 per cent), Indonesia (19 per cent) or Vietnam (20 per cent), runs counter to the larger story of growing cooperation between the two countries. The last couple of years alone have seen significant movement towards the signing of a new 10-year defence partnership framework, an MoU to expand and diversify critical mineral supply chains and proposed amendments to India's nuclear liability law. For all the jarring notes in Trump's imperious actions and pronouncements, India must not lose sight of the big picture. If anything, it must hasten the process of clinching a long-delayed agreement that will also give a push to much-needed domestic economic reforms. And the approach should be based on export proactiveness rather than import defensiveness — as was evident in the recent India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. While Trump's 25 per cent import levy may be a pressure tactic for forcing India to lower both duties and non-tariff barriers on American products, his threatening to impose an additional 'penalty' for the country buying Russian oil and defence hardware is unacceptable. Just as signing a trade deal with the US is in India's interest, securing the energy needs of its population — including by sourcing oil from any country offering crude at discounted prices — is non-negotiable. It is possible this may entail a cost in the form of secondary sanctions linked to Russian supplies, which India will have to factor in going ahead. Recognising this cost is as important as converting the Trump threat into an opportunity to be seized.

To justify dismissal of constable who married Pakistan national, CRPF cites national security: ‘Our security will get compromised…'
The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has justified the dismissal from service of constable Munir Ahmed, saying that he married a Pakistani woman despite apprehensions from seniors that it may raise a national security issue and before any decision was made on his applications seeking permission for the marriage. The CRPF opposed Munir's writ petition in the High Court of J&K and Ladakh, challenging his dismissal from service. While the DIG (Adm) had clarified that under the CCS (Conduct) Rules 1964, there is no requirement for an NOC and that a government servant marrying a person who is not of Indian nationality has to just inform the government, the CRPF said that in this case, since the woman is a Pakistani national, it opposed the marriage. In a letter dated July 23, 2024, the Jammu Sector CRPF had resubmitted Munir's file to the J&K Zone CRPF, asking the latter not to grant an NOC to him for the marriage. In the letter, the Jammu Sector CRPF said, 'CCS Conduct Rule 1964 was framed 60 years ago, and at that time, Pakistan was not a hostile country'. 'However, after the eruption of militancy in J&K, the neighbouring country has become a hostile nation and is abetting terrorism in J&K, which has claimed thousands of innocent lives, as well as of police personnel, political activists and paramilitary forces,' it said. 'Besides terrorism, Pakistan has also indulged in various means and efforts to gather intelligence of our strategic locations, campuses, deployment, and our weaponry, and keeps our forces (engaged) in proxy war,' it wrote, adding that the petitioner was employed in the executive staff in the CRPF and had access to confidential information. 'Therefore, there is apprehension that once he gets married to a Pakistani girl, our security will get compromised and… (this) could endanger our national security,' it said. It also claimed that there had been 'some instances of women working as spies to lure such boys into marriage, even though in this case, he states she is a relative'. In a subsequent response to further questions from the J&K Zone CRPF, it was told that Ahmed solemnised nikah with Pakistani national Menal Khan on May 24, 2024, through video conferencing and that he had requested an NOC for the same. It said that it came to know through a newspaper on February 28, 2025, that Menal Khan had entered India through the Wagha Border on a 15-day tourist visa and was residing with the petitioner at his residence. The CRPF on May 3 this year dismissed Ahmed, a resident of Jammu district's Bhalwal tehsil, from service without a formal inquiry, saying that his actions were found to be detrimental to 'national security'. The dismissal came in the aftermath of the attack in Pahalgam, where 26 people were shot dead by terrorists from Pakistan. Ahmed had denied the allegations, claiming he had informed the CRPF Directorate last year of his marriage with Menal Khan and that the latter had acknowledged it in a communication. He also claimed that he had first told the DG of the wedding on December 31, 2022 and had sought an NOC from the organisation. But he had also admitted that his wife's short-term visa had ended earlier this year and the couple was trying to get a long-term one. Meanwhile, with her short-term visa now ended, Minal had been issued a 'Leave India' notice in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack and was taken to Attari, but the deportation was stalled after Ahmed moved the High Court.
