Punjab Assembly passes resolution marking country's victory
The resolution, presented by Deputy Speaker Malik Zahir Iqbal Channar, congratulated the nation on the success of Operation Bunyan-al-Marsoos against India.
The representative house of the Punjab Assembly extends its congratulations to the entire nation, particularly the Pakistan Armed Forces, for the historic success of Bunyan-al-Marsoos. This remarkable achievement by Pakistan's military crushed the enemy's arrogance and filled the nation with pride.
On the night between May 6 and 7, 2025, India launched a cowardly attack on Pakistan under Operation Sandoor, using the false flag operation in Pahlgam on April 22, 2025, as a pretext. The aggression targeted civilian areas in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir, attacking mosques, seminaries, and martyring innocent civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. Additionally, India struck Pakistan's water infrastructure, endangering not only regional but global peace.
Following the Pahlgam incident, India unilaterally suspended the Indus Waters Treaty on April 23. This treaty is a bilateral agreement, and its unilateral termination violates international law. The waters of the Indus belong to 250 million Pakistanis, and their rights cannot be revoked.
The enemy did not anticipate a response that would leave it humiliated before the international community, forced to lick its wounds in defeat. On the morning of May 10, Pakistan Armed Forces delivered a crushing blow through Bunyan-al-Marsoos, fulfilling their promise to the nation. Pakistan's military and political leadership demonstrated exceptional strategy, and the National Security Committee granted full authority to the armed forces to respond to Indian aggression. The forces not only met but exceeded the nation's expectations, achieving a glorious victory. Pakistan's brave forces not only downed enemy aircraft but also destroyed multiple military bases.

US adviser Navarro says India's Russian crude buying has to stop
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said India's purchases of Russian crude were funding Moscow's war in Ukraine and had to stop, adding that New Delhi was 'now cozying up to both Russia and China.' 'If India wants to be treated as a strategic partner of the US, it needs to start acting like one,' Navarro wrote in an opinion piece published in the Financial Times. India's Foreign Ministry has previously said the country is being unfairly singled out for buying Russian oil while the United States and European Union continue to purchase goods from Russia. US President Donald Trump an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods earlier this month, citing New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil, taking total tariffs on imports from India to 50%. 'India acts as a global clearinghouse for Russian oil, converting embargoed crude into high-value exports while giving Moscow the dollars it needs,' Navarro said. The adviser also said it was risky to transfer cutting-edge US military capabilities to India as New Delhi was 'now cozying up to both Russia and China.' Longtime rivals China and India are quietly and cautiously strengthening ties against the backdrop of Trump's unpredictable approach to both. White House defend firing of labor official as critics warn of trust erosion Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the end of the month while Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit India from Monday for talks on the disputed border between the two countries. A planned visit by US trade negotiators to New Delhi from August 25-29 has been called off, a source said over the weekend, delaying talks on a proposed trade agreement and dashing hopes of relief from additional US tariffs on Indian goods from August 27.

India's stock benchmarks set to open higher on easing oil woes, GST reforms
India's equity benchmarks are set to open higher on Monday, buoyed by cooling Russian oil supply concerns after a meeting between the U.S. and Russian Presidents and New Delhi's proposed goods and services tax reforms. Gift Nifty futures were trading at 24,984 as of 8:46 a.m. IST, indicating that the Nifty 50 will open about 1.4% above Thursday's close of 24,631.3. Indian markets were closed on Friday for a holiday. Following his meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump appeared more aligned with Moscow on seeking a Ukraine peace deal instead of a ceasefire first. Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders on Monday to hammer out details of possible security guarantees for Kyiv, though actual proposals are vague as yet. Oil prices slipped after the U.S. refrained from imposing new measures to curb Russian oil exports, following Trump-Putin's Friday meeting. Meanwhile, Trump said on Friday he did not need to consider retaliatory tariffs yet on countries buying Russian oil, such as China, but might 'in two or three weeks', easing fears of supply disruption. China, the world's biggest oil importer, is the largest buyer of Russian oil, followed by India. A fall in prices is positive for importers of the commodity, such as India. Separately, shares of car makers could rise after Reuters reported the government proposed lowering the GST on small cars to 18% from 28%. Alongside easing worries over Russian oil imports, the Indian government's announcement of sweeping tax reforms to boost the economy amid the trade conflict with the U.S. also boosted sentiment, analysts said. The S&P Global's ratings upgrade, reiterating India's macro stability, is also likely to aid risk sentiment. Foreign portfolio investors (FPI) offloaded Indian stocks worth 19.27 billion rupees ($220.2 million) on Thursday, while domestic institutional investors (DII) purchased stocks worth 38.96 billion rupees, taking their buying streak to 29 sessions.

Indian rupee to receive a risk boost, but US-India trade discord overhang persists
MUMBAI: The Indian rupee is poised to open higher on Monday, supported by a likely rally in local equities after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's sweeping tax reforms to boost growth, though persistent U.S.–India trade tensions should cap the advance. The 1-month non-deliverable forward indicated the rupee will open in the 87.50-87.52 range versus the U.S. dollar, compared with 87.55 on Thursday. Indian financial markets were closed on Friday. Gift Nifty futures indicated that the Nifty 50 will open more than 1% higher after India announced sweeping tax reforms to lift the economy in the face of a trade conflict with Washington. The rupee will 'see a bit of lift from equity, however it's hard to see it doing much with the U.S.–India trade cloud hanging overhead,' said a Mumbai-based FX trader. 'The downside (on dollar/rupee) is capped, and any dip will likely be faded.' Trump-Putin meeting The outcome of the weekend's Trump–Putin meeting did not evoke much of a reaction from Asian equities and currencies. U.S. President Donald Trump has said a full-fledged peace deal for Ukraine remained the ultimate aim rather than a mere ceasefire. After talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said he would delay new tariffs on countries like China that continue purchasing Russian oil. Absent from his remarks was any reference to India, which remains on track to face an additional 25% duty starting August 27. Adding to the pressure on the rupee, Washington has scrapped a planned August 25–29 visit by trade negotiators to New Delhi, shelving discussions on a potential trade deal and extinguishing hopes of relief from the fresh tariffs on Indian goods.
