‘Stupid Jokers...': Owaisi Trolls Pakistan Over Sharif-Munir Memento Blunder
AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi has mocked Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and General Asim Munir over the fake picture of 'Operation Bunyan', saying that it requires brains to copy. Addressing the Indian community in Kuwait, he urged them not to trust anything Pakistan claims.
"Yesterday, the Pakistani Army chief gifted a photo to the Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif. These stupid jokers want to compete with India; they have given a photograph of a 2019 Chinese Army drill, claiming it is a victory over India. This is what Pakistan indulges in. 'Nakal karne ke liye akal chahiye'... inke pass akal bhi nahi hai'... whatever Pakistan is saying, do not take even with a pinch of salt," ANI quoted Owaisi as saying.
His remarks came after an image of Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif and General Munir went viral on social media, where the two were seen holding a photo of a military operation to commemorate "Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos". The photo was, however, actually from a 2019 Chinese People's Liberation Army military drill.
Asim Munir reportedly hosted a high-profile dinner last week during which he presented the edited image to Sharif.
Indians trolled the Pakistanis, accusing Islamabad of using 'Canva" and 'Photoshop" to 'win" the war against India after its failed attempts during the recent conflict.
'Pakistan's latest masterpiece: Shehbaz Sharif presents a photoshopped painting from a 2019 Chinese drill to Failed Marshal Asim Munir. Guess when you can't win on the battlefield, you win in Canva,' a user wrote on X.
In the early hours of May 7, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor to avenge the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 2, in which 26 civilians were killed.
The operation targeted nine terror sites and infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK), in which over 100 terrorists were killed.

No permission granted for holding Eid prayers at Eidgah: Anjuman
Srinagar, June 6 (UNI) Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid, the managing committee of the mosque affairs on Friday said that the authorities did not grant permission for holding the Eid prayers at the Eidgah congregational ground in Srinagar. Eid-ul-Adha is being celebrated in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday and it is one of the two major Muslim festivals. On Thursday Anjuman had sought clarity from authorities on allowing Eid-ul-Adha prayers at Eidgah. 'The Anjuman deeply regrets that authorities once again did not grant permission for holding the Eid congregation at the Eidgah Srinagar, in keeping with the longstanding Islamic tradition and the collective religious sentiment of the people,' the statement issued by the religious body said. Anjuman announced that the Eid-ul-Adha congregation will be held at the historic Jamia Masjid Srinagar tomorrow at 9:30 am. Prior to the congregational prayers, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq will deliver the Eid sermon from 8:30 am, in which he will speak on the philosophy and spirit of Eid and Qurbani (sacrifice). Auqaf has urged all worshippers to attend the Eid prayers at Jama Masjid in large numbers. Earlier this year, Eid-ul-Fitr prayers were not allowed at the historical Jamia Masjid and Eidgah at the old city Srinagar. Since abrogation of Article 370 on August 5, 2019, Eid prayers have not been allowed at the Eidgah for fear of law and order problems. UNI MJR PRS

India's global engagement needs rethink, says Congress
New Delhi: Congress leader Supriya Shrinate, in a press briefing on Friday, expressed concern over what she described as a decline in India's diplomatic engagement and visibility on the global stage. She specifically referred to India's absence from major forums like the G7, despite being among the world's largest economies. Shrinate cited then-US President Barack Obama's 2010 remarks in praise of then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and questioned why countries like Canada now appear hesitant to extend invitations to India for the G7. She interpreted this as a sign of waning diplomatic influence. She also referred to public statements made by US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly claimed to have brokered a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. The Congress spokesperson further said that similar assertions are now being echoed by Russia. She urged the Indian government to respond clearly to these claims, either by refuting them or explaining the context if they are accurate. "The nation deserves clarity," she said, stressing the importance of transparency in foreign affairs. Shrinate also voiced apprehensions over what she viewed as a preference for image-building over substantive diplomacy. She warned against focusing too heavily on symbolic gestures or visual narratives. She, in this context, suggested that a more strategic and consistent foreign policy is needed to safeguard national interests. She expressed concern over "the evolving global perception" of Pakistan. Institutions like the IMF, the ADB, and the World Bank, she noted, have extended significant financial support to Pakistan, while the country has also assumed roles in global bodies such as the UN's Counter-Terrorism Committee. In her view, this is at odds with India's long-standing position on terrorism and reflects a missed opportunity for stronger international advocacy. Commenting on recent international outreach by Indian parliamentary delegations, Shrinate questioned the effectiveness of such efforts. She pointed out that many of these visits resulted in meetings with lower-level officials or Indian diaspora groups, rather than influential foreign leaders or decision-makers. "We need to assess what tangible outcomes these visits have achieved," she remarked. Turning to domestic matters with international implications, Shrinate referred to the tragic terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 individuals. She questioned the timing of the Prime Minister's visit to Jammu and Kashmir, suggesting that it came more as part of a ceremonial event than a response to the tragedy. She expressed disappointment that "national security concerns in sensitive regions are not always met with prompt or visible engagement". Shrinate also commented on alleged shifts in India's traditional alliances, pointing to what she called Russia's recent cooperation with Pakistan. She warned that regional dynamics are changing, with China and Pakistan strengthening ties—a development, she said, that has long been cautioned against by opposition leaders. When asked about Congress MPs, including Shashi Tharoor, who participated in foreign delegations and later described the visits as positive, Shrinate acknowledged the complexities of international diplomacy. She explained that while representatives may exercise restraint abroad, there remains a responsibility to ask hard questions back home. She cited Kuwait's recent decision to lift a 19-year visa ban on Pakistan shortly after an Indian delegation's visit, suggesting this raised legitimate questions about diplomatic impact. A key concern she highlighted was the apparent reluctance to hold comprehensive discussions in Parliament on foreign policy matters, while simultaneously prioritising engagement with Indian communities abroad. "There seems to be a disconnect between domestic accountability and international outreach," she said. The Congress spokesperson stressed the need for a more grounded and outcome-driven foreign policy approach. In her view, the current trajectory risks sidelining India's voice in global conversations, despite its growing economic stature.

AMCA Explained: How India Plans to Build Its Own Stealth Fighter Ft. Sandeep Unnithan
India's next-gen stealth fighter, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), just got a massive push from the government with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh clearing an execution model for the jet's design and development. On this episode of In Our Defence, veteran defence journalist Sandeep Unnithan breaks down what this means for the future of Indian airpower, how private players like Tata and L&T could shape the aircraft production ecosystem, and what role the state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is likely to play. Sandeep also decodes the different generations of fighter aircraft, detailing what makes a fifth-generation jet stand out from the current crop of Indian Air Force jets such as the Rafales, Tejas, Sukhois and Mirages, among others. The episode also features a discussion on India's attempts to develop its own fighter jet engine and how that quest -- unsuccessful so far -- becomes all the more important for the AMCA.
