Record of Pakistan on terrorism very clear: MEA on top US general hailing ties with Pak
'We have to have a relationship with Pakistan and with India. I do not believe it is a binary switch that we can't have one with Pakistan if we have a relationship with India,' US Army General Michael Kurilla, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), had said. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal's remarks at his weekly media briefing here came in response to a query on the recent comments made by a top US general on Washington's ties with New Delhi and with Islamabad. New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI) Pakistan's record on terrorism is 'very clear' and the Pahalgam attack is only the recent example of cross-border terrorism, the Ministry of External Affairs said on Thursday. 'We should look at the merits of the relationship for the positives that it has,' the US general said during a testimony before the US House Armed Services Committee. Briefing the media here, Jaiswal said, 'The record of Pakistan, of what Pakistan is, is very clear'. 'We all know the Pahalgam attack is only the recent example of cross-border terrorism. I would remind you that only recently one of the conspirators of the 26/11 attack, Tahawwur Rana was extradited from the United States to India. 'Obviously, none of us have forgotten that Pakistan gave shelter to Osama bin Laden. It is significant that the person, and you would be aware, Dr Shakil Afridi, who helped locate Osama bin Laden, is still imprisoned by the Pakistani military,' he said. The MEA spokesperson was also asked about reports suggesting that Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir has received an invitation to attend the US Army Day celebrations on June 14. 'On invitation part, I would urge you to be better informed as to who are the people who are invited, there are foreign leaders who have been invited or not. Take your questions to the American side, they will be in a better position to answer it,' Jaiswal told reporters. He was also asked about the India-Bangladesh ties during the media interaction. 'Our ties with Bangladesh is well-known, I have said from this podium several times. We want a positive and constructive relationship with Bangladesh that is anchored in the aspirations of the people of the two countries,' he said. He was also asked if India is monitoring the situation in West Asia. 'We are following the development very closely. And, yes, we have a large diaspora population in that region. Our embassies all across the region, they are in touch with our community members also guiding them on their safety and security,' Jaiswal said.

Rave Party Busted On Outskirts, 8 Sex Workers Rescued
Nagpur: A rave party was busted by a team from the Khapa police station of Nagpur rural at Temburdoh Resort at Saoner in the early hours of Thursday. Eight sex workers were rescued from the venue, while police, under sub-divisional police officer Anil Mhaske, arrested four individuals and seized materials worth more than Rs30 lakh. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sources said that resorts in the remote outskirts of Nagpur often turn into dens of flesh trade, with pimps bringing women from the city to these places to service clients at rave parties. Nagpur rural SP Harssh Poddar had conducted several raids in the past to bust the flesh trade rackets flourishing in shady hotels and resorts. "The business of some hotels and resorts is solely dependent upon flesh trade in the rural district," said an insider source. "We had information about drugs, a sex racket, and a dance party at the venue. Though narcotics were not found, the rest of the information was found true," said Mhaske, an IPS officer, adding that condoms and other materials were also seized from the location of the raid. The team, led by police inspector Vishal Giri of Khapa police station, arrested resort owner Vishal Ingole (39), along with Amit Apreja, builder Sanjay Dhapodkar, and Sachin Patil. Police said these individuals were allegedly involved in orchestrating the illegal prostitution activities, luring victims to the resort using a Ford car and exploiting them. The car too was seized. During the raid, police discovered eight female victims in the resort rooms, who were rescued. Upon questioning, the victim women revealed that the accused, including one female accomplice, facilitated their exploitation, with payments made in exchange for services. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Additionally, five other individuals — Manish Deshmukh (41), Nitin Kokarde (37), Dilip Shahu (34), Vinod Mohje (49), and Kisan Yesne (30) — were found at the scene and were identified as the customers. The police also seized Rs15,000 in cash during the raid.

'Willing to enhance dialogue': China on lifting export curbs on rare earth metals to India
China on Thursday signaled openness to talks with India over its export restrictions on rare earth materials, saying it is willing to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with relevant countries to help maintain stable industrial supply chains read more China on Thursday signaled openness to talks with India over its export restrictions on rare earth materials, saying it is willing to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with relevant countries to help maintain stable industrial supply chains. Beijing's recent curbs on the export of critical metals have disrupted manufacturing sectors globally, including in India, impacting industries such as automotive and semiconductor production. 'We are willing to enhance dialogue and cooperation with relevant countries and regions to jointly keep the stability of global industrial and supply chains,' Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told PTI when asked whether China plans to lift its export restrictions on rare earth metals to India, especially as it has started approving export licences to the US and the EU. While offering no direct assurance, Lin reiterated that specific details should be addressed by the relevant Chinese authorities. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Meanwhile, India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said it is in contact with Chinese counterparts to ensure greater predictability in the supply chain, in line with international trade norms. 'We have been in touch with the Chinese side, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and general administration of customs in early April, as you would be aware, had announced the decision to implement export controls on certain rare earth-related items. 'We are in touch with the Chinese side, both here in Delhi as also in Beijing, to bring predictability in supply chain for trade, consistent with international practices,' MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters in response to a query on Thursday. On June 16, Indian Ambassador Pradeep Kumar Rawat met with Chinese Vice Minister Sun Weidong to discuss a range of bilateral issues, including shared concerns, PTI quoted a statement from China's foreign ministry. The meeting comes amid growing alarm in India over shortages of rare earth metals, crucial for the automotive, electronics, and renewable energy sectors. Reports from India have highlighted industry-wide disruptions stemming from China's recent export restrictions on these critical materials. China, which holds a dominant position in the global rare earths market, has recently begun selectively clearing export licences, particularly to the United States, following two days of high-level trade talks in London. The move came as both nations agreed to ease tensions, with US President Donald Trump declaring on Wednesday that a trade deal with China 'is done.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rare earth elements, comprising 17 metallic elements, are vital for the production of magnets, batteries, and high-tech devices. While these metals are found in multiple countries, their extraction is expensive and environmentally hazardous, often leaving China as the preferred global supplier. According to the International Energy Agency, China accounts for 61% of global rare earth mining and 92% of processing output. Although China has opened dialogue with the US and EU to address concerns over supply shortages, it has yet to publicly respond to India's request for similar talks. In response, India's Ministry of External Affairs said it is engaging with the Chinese side to ensure stability and predictability in trade supply chains. Meanwhile, an Indian industry delegation, comprising representatives from the auto sector, is reportedly preparing to visit China to secure rare earth magnet imports for domestic manufacturers, sources in New Delhi said.
