Pakistani generals use terrorism as a proxy to stay relevant: Ravi Shankar Prasad
New Delhi [India], June 10 (ANI): BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad, who recently led an all-party delegation on a multi-national tour, said on Tuesday that the delegation had conveyed to global leaders India's firm policy of zero tolerance against cross-border terrorism. He said the delegation told foreign counterparts that Pakistan remains gripped by a 'military-terrorist nexus,' where the country's generals use terrorism as a proxy to maintain their relevance. 'Pakistan is not only a state in denial, but the military-terrorist nexus has become a deadly combination,' the BJP MP told reporters. 'When we talked about history, we talked about how Pakistan is in the hands of Generals... The world needs to understand that Pakistan is in the grip of a military-general nexus whose dirty job is done by the terrorists and terrorist camps. In Pakistan's new setup, the Generals use terrorism as a proxy to keep themselves relevant.' Speaking about interactions with foreign officials, he said the delegation shared the historical context of India-Pakistan relations, underscoring how India has repeatedly sought peaceful ties, while Pakistan has continued to sponsor terrorism. He emphasised that India has never been the aggressor in any conflict. 'We put forward the history between India and Pakistan. We were born on the same day, Pakistan on August 15 and August 14 us. We are the fourth largest economy and on the way to be the third largest, and they (Pakistan) are begging for funds,' he said. 'We have fought conventional wars (with Pakistan), but we were never the aggressors. We made it clear that we are not against the people of Pakistan.' Citing past terror incidents, including the 2016 Uri attack and the 2019 Pulwama attack, Prasad said all Indian governments have made genuine attempts at fostering good relations with Pakistan. 'We told that all governments in India have tried to have good relations with Pakistan. PM Modi called Nawaz Sharif (former Pakistan PM), went to his grandson's wedding too and then Uri (attack) happened and we gave a befitting reply, then similarly with Pulwama, and now this (Pahalgam),' he said. He also spoke about the enthusiastic reception from the Indian diaspora during the delegation's overseas engagements. He also encountered Pakistan supporters in Copenhagen, sarcastically suggesting that some of the funding from the recent IMF loan to Pakistan might have been used to fund protesters against the delegation. 'There were around 400 people (to listen to us) in Copenhagen, and there were some Pakistanis protesting too. Modi ji is common, but they also used my name to say things about it. I had said that our delegation has been successful and met with officials in 3 countries already, there would have been questions from Islamabad, and they got the IMF loan too, so they could have funded a bit here, as after 10 minutes they went away and were not seen again,' he said. The delegation, led by BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad, also included BJP MPs Daggubati Purandeswari, MJ Akbar, Gulam Ali Khatana, and Samik Bhattacharya; Congress MP Amar Singh, Priyanka Chaturvedi from Shiv Sena (UBT,) AIADMK MP M Thambidurai and former diplomat Pankaj Saran. The group visited the UK, France, Germany, Brussels (Belgium), Italy and Denmark to explain India's position against terror and brief countries about Operation Sindoor. The operation was launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam by Pakistan-sponsored militants that claimed 26 lives and injured several others. Following retaliation from Pakistan, the Indian Armed Forces carried out targeted strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of over 100 terrorists linked to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.

Punjab CM, Arvind Kejriwal launch 'Fast Track Punjab Portal' for ease of doing business, boost industry in state
Mohali (Punjab) [India], June 10 (ANI): Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched the 'Fast Track Punjab Portal', which aims to simplify the process of starting new businesses, setting up projects, and expanding industries in the state. Speaking on the occasion, Mann alleged that earlier governments treated industrialists like ATM machines and extracted election funds from them. 'Industrialists were so harassed that they would say, 'Forget it, we won't set up industries here.' Some moved to Madhya Pradesh, others to Himachal Pradesh. But now, industrialists can identify land and apply through the Punjab Invest Portal. Within two weeks, all clearances will be granted, and the registry will be completed. You can start your industry within 24 hours,' he said. Mann emphasised that the initiative aims to boost both revenue and employment opportunities. 'We want industrialists' to grow and employment to increase. When your revenue rises, you'll set up more industries, creating more jobs. Previous governments had a share in every sector. Mandi Gobindgarh, once Asia's largest iron market, now looks like a deserted city. They always claimed the treasury was empty, but we never said that. We will fill the treasury and provide jobs,' he stated. He said industralists are 'annadatas' like farmers but some people are afraid because of previous governments. 'We have released budget for constructing 19,000 km of link roads in Punjab and are opening skill development centres to ensure you get skilled workers right here,' he added. Kejriwal said the initiative is unprecedented in India and reflects his government's distinct policy approach. 'We met traders and received their proposals. After listening and understanding their concerns, we made this decision. We want traders who left Punjab to return and work here. Our intent is clear, and that's why we are making this announcement,' Kejriwal said. He emphasised creating a business-friendly environment where industrialists can focus 90 per cent of their time on business growth rather than running around government offices. 'Simple policies, quick approvals, and an honest system--this is the identity of the new Punjab. When industries grow, Punjab will progress,' he added. Highlighting the significance of the portal, Kejriwal described it as a 'historic' move, stating, 'No government in any state has made such announcements until today. Starting a new business, setting up a project, or expanding an industry in Punjab has now become extremely easy. Just apply on the Invest Punjab Portal, and all approvals will be granted within 45 days. For projects up to Rs. 125 crore, approvals will be given in just three days. No running around, no delays, no corruption. Punjab is ready for your industry's new journey.' (ANI)
