'Don't Confirm Participation In Indian Events': Pakistan Sports Board To Federations
Last Updated: All national sports federations have to seek clearance from the PSB before making any commitment, promise, or announcement about participation in competitions hosted on Indian soil In a significant move reflecting the strained political climate between the two nations, the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) has issued a stern directive to all its national sports federations: do not confirm participation in any event in India without explicit prior consultation and approval from the board. This decision, formalised during the 34th meeting of the PSB on July 23, comes amid what the board terms 'prevailing security concerns" and 'regional sensitivities". The directive, issued via a circular, makes it mandatory for all national sports federations to seek clearance from the PSB before making any commitment, promise, or announcement regarding participation in competitions hosted on Indian soil. The decision arrives in the wake of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, notably following the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 22, which claimed 26 civilian lives. India has held Pakistan-backed terrorists responsible for the incident, while Islamabad has vehemently denied the accusations. This led to a series of diplomatic measures and a brief military conflict in May, although a ceasefire was later announced after Pakistan reached out for talks. The immediate impact of this directive is evident in several upcoming sporting events. Pakistan's national men's hockey team had already withdrawn from the Men's Hockey Asia Cup, scheduled to be held in Rajgir, India, from August 27 to September 7, citing 'serious security threats". There are also reports that Pakistan will not participate in the Junior World Cup in India in November. Furthermore, the issue of Indian and Pakistani teams playing against each other in multi-nation tournaments continues to be a point of contention. While bilateral series remain suspended since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, events like the Asia Cup cricket tournament are now being moved to neutral venues, with the 2025 edition set for the UAE in September, as confirmed by the Asian Cricket Council president Mohsin Naqvi. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

TRF Echoes Pakistan Foreign Minister's Protest Of US Ban On Terror Outfit
Last Updated: This clearly exposes the synergy between Pakistan's diplomatic machinery and its terror proxies, said sources Hours after Pakistan's foreign minister and deputy PM Ishaq Dar expressed disagreement with the United States' ban on the TRF, the terror outfit issued a statement opposing the decision. The Resistance Front justifies its armed resistance in Jammu and Kashmir as a lawful and necessary response to what it describes as the 'unlawful Indian occupation". The TRF claims that its designation as a terrorist organisation by the United States is unjust and influenced by Indian pressure on American institutions. The group maintains it is a legitimate, local freedom movement fighting against the so-called 'Indian occupation" of Jammu and Kashmir, rejecting the terrorist label. It asserts that the US and other powers label Kashmiri groups as terrorists out of frustration. TRF's statement rejects the US decision, framing its struggle as a rightful liberation from an oppressive Indian regime. Top intelligence sources reveal that the TRF is not an indigenous movement but a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba. 'The timing of the TRF statement, issued just hours after Ishaq Dar criticised the US designation, clearly exposes the synergy between Pakistan's diplomatic machinery and its terror proxies, confirming state-sponsored narrative warfare," said a source. The TRF has been involved in targeted killings of civilians, migrant workers, and minority communities in Kashmir. This is evidenced by confessions, forensic recovery of weapons, and intercepted communications with handlers in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, said sources. Financial trails tracked via hawala and crypto channels link TRF operations to Pakistan-based facilitators, confirming that the group is part of a hybrid warfare doctrine combining terror and propaganda, they added. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 22:31 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘Siddaramaiah's Contributions To Mysuru Surpass King Krishnaraja Wodeyar's', Says Son; BJP Reacts
Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of CM Siddaramaiah, praised his father's contributions, comparing them to Mysuru ruler Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV. BJP leaders criticised the comparison. Yathindra Siddaramaiah, CM Siddaramaiah's son and a Congress MLC, has strongly backed his father, praising his contributions as potentially surpassing those of the progressive Mysuru ruler, Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV, known for ushering in progressive reforms during the pre-Independence era. This endorsement comes amid ongoing speculation about leadership changes in Karnataka. Yathindra claimed that the development works undertaken by the Congress government in the Mysuru region during his father Siddaramaiah's tenure are comparable to, or possibly even surpass, those of Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar. 'Apart from the funds allocated during Siddaramaiah's tenure as Chief Minister, Mysuru has not received any significant funding. Our government under Siddaramaiah has carried out as much, if not more, development than what was done during Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar's time. Therefore, the opposition's claim that we have done nothing and are holding the 'Sadhana Samavesha' event here without reason is baseless and hollow," NDTV quoted Yathindra Siddaramaiah as saying to the reporters on Saturday. Yathindra's comments were in response to criticism from Karnataka BJP leaders, including state president BY Vijayendra, who alleged that the event was politically motivated rather than a genuine showcase of achievements. 'The Sadhana Samavesha is not to commemorate the chief minister's achievements or to highlight development in the Mysuru region. It is being used as a tool to threaten the high command," Vijayendra claimed, hinting at internal power tussles within the Congress. He had also questioned the event's venue, suggesting Mysuru didn't warrant such a high-profile gathering due to a perceived lack of progress in the region. At the event, the state government unveiled projects worth over Rs 2,500 crores for the Mysuru district. BJP leader R Ashoka criticised Yathindra's remarks, who said that, by making the comparison with his father, the Congress leader had insulted King Wodiyar's family. 'Contributions of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wodiyar to Old Mysore are immense. He built the KRS (Krishna Raja Sagara) reservoir and provided life-giving water, enabling people to prosper. He also built soap factories, universities, and upheld social justice," Ashoka said. 'Comparing someone who pawned gold jewellery to build a reservoir with those who looted 14 sites in MUDA (a reference to the alleged Mysore Urban Development Authority scam) is unacceptable. Yathindra Siddaramaiah has insulted the Maharaja's family and must apologise immediately," he said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
