'India's strike on Nur Khan disrupted the heart of Pakistan's air logistics and high-level military coordination. As the base closest to Islamabad, often used for VIP transport and military logistics, its neutralization severed critical links between the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) leadership and its operational units during the conflict,' said BJP Leader Amit Malviya in a post on X.

PAF base, Rafiqui, was targeted as well. 'The destruction of its aircraft shelters and runway infrastructure significantly weakened Pakistan's ability to launch counter-air operations, especially in central Punjab. This move effectively removed one of PAF's sharpest offensive tools,' the BJP leader added. Sukkur Airbase, Sindh

Malviya added that the destruction of Sukkur Airbase cut Pakistan's southern air corridor, as it had been essential for troop and equipment movement across Sindh and Balochistan. Chunian Air Defence Radar

'Jacobabad's neutralization further isolated western Pakistan. Historically used for rapid troop deployment and even by U.S. forces during the war on terror, its destruction cut off internal mobility, supply chains, and Pakistan's western air surveillance,' Malviya added. Credits

Eid al-Adha Crackdown: Why Ahmadis In Pakistan To Be Fined Rs 1.5 lakh If They Make Animal Sacrifice, Offer Namaz?
Lahore High Court Bar Association (LHCBA) has asked Punjab Police to prohibit the Ahmadiyya community from carrying out Eid al-Adha rituals, such as namaz and animal sacrifice, calling them specifically for Muslims. Offenders will be imposed fines of PKR 5 lakh (₹1.5 lakh) or legal proceedings, heightening tensions leading up to Eid al-Adha (June 6-10). LHCBA's Directive And Legal Context The LHCBA's letter to the Punjab Police Chief categorises Ahmadis as a non-Muslim minority under Pakistan's Constitution, invoking the Penal Code and Supreme Court decisions that exclude them from employing Islamic symbols or practices. The association accuses Ahmadis of hosting Eid functions in the pattern of Islamic practices, contravening legal prohibitions. Ahmadis have been compelled into signing affidavits swearing they would not conduct Bakrid rituals in Punjab, in continuation of a 2023 ruling barring them from calling themselves Muslims. Rising Violence And Threats At least three Ahmadis have been killed since April, and numerous others are harassed, says DAWN. In cities such as Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Sialkot, authorities have issued directives, including detention, to stop Ahmadis from celebrating Eid 2025. Amnesty International has criticised these actions, and Deputy Regional Director Isabelle Lassee has condemned Pakistan for its inability to safeguard Ahmadis' religious freedom, labeling the restrictions discriminatory. Ahmadi Identity Debate Ahmadis consider themselves to be Muslims, following mainstream Islamic principles but regarding Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as a Messiah and prophet, something rejected by traditional Muslims who see Muhammad as the last prophet. Ahmadis are also prohibited from making Hajj or Umrah and traveling to Saudi Arabia. Human Rights Concerns Amnesty International has demanded a stop to the "harassment and violence" faced by Ahmadis, calling upon Pakistani authorities to protect their right to religious freedom. The organization's survey of police orders in five districts documents a concerted attempt to suppress Ahmadi practice, sparking international concern about religious persecution in Pakistan.

Lift ban on issue of arms licences: BJP MLA to CM
First-time BJP MLA from the Kalapipal seat of Shajapur district, Ghanshyam Chandravanshi, has written to CM Mohan Yadav, urging him to lift the ban on the issuance of new arms licences in the state. In his letter to the CM, the legislator has emphasised the need to allow fresh armed licences in view of Operation Sindoor. 'Patriotism is reigning supreme, and the people of the state, particularly women, need to be trained in the use of firearms for self-defence,' he stressed, adding, 'To that end, the issue of fresh arms licences must resume.' The state, which has over 2.5 lakh arms licence holders, hasn't issued a fresh licence since October 2023. MP's Pachmarhi to host 3-day BJP training camp A three-day special training camp will be organised by the BJP for its lawmakers (MPs and MLAs) from June 14 at the state's lone hill station, Pachmarhi. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is likely to address the gathering on the inaugural day. As part of the camp, the lawmakers will be asked to refrain from making comments on sensitive issues without the permission of the party leadership. This comes in the backdrop of highly controversial remarks made by state Deputy CM Jagdish Devda, Cabinet minister Vijay Shah and seventh-time MP Faggan Singh Kulaste on Operation Sindoor.

Bengaluru stampede: Sidda's political secretary sacked
Bengaluru: The political secretary of Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, K Govindraju, has been sacked, and the state intelligence department head, Hemant Nimbalkar, has been transferred over the Bengaluru stampede that claimed 11 lives. Govindraju is also the head of the state Olympic association and the key person who pressured the Chief Minister to hold the RCB victory event at Vidhana Soudha. The Karnataka government has taken several steps in the wake of the unfortunate incident, including the filing of FIRs against the representatives of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). A political row has also erupted in the state with the BJP accusing the Congress-led state government of making the police a 'scapegoat" in the incident. Hitting back, Siddaramaiah on Friday criticised the saffron regiment for politicising the stampede at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The CM stated that action was taken against officials who were found to be 'visibly responsible" and 'negligent in their duty." 'They are doing it for politics. I don't do politics. We have taken action against those who were visibly responsible and found to be negligent in their duty," he said.
