Arrest of Khadse's son-in-law in drugs case suspicious: Sanjay Raut
The former Maharashtra minister's home was attacked to shut his mouth, he said in an apparent reference to Khadse. Talking to reporters in New Delhi, Raut dubbed the arrest of Khadse's son-in-law Pranjal Khewalkar as suspicious and also slammed the ruling BJP, alleging it was 'targeting' family members of political rivals and maligning them. Mumbai, Jul 28 (PTI) A day after the arrest of Eknath Khadse's son-in-law in a drugs case, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Monday claimed the former Maharashtra minister was being targeted for linking BJP leader Girish Mahajan with an alleged honey trap scandal. Pranjal Khewalkar, the husband of Eknath Khadse's daughter Rohini Khadse, was arrested along with six others after the police raided a 'drug party' at an apartment in Pune in the early hours of Sunday and claimed to have seized narcotics, hookah set ups and liquor from there. Rohini Khadse is the state head of the NCP (SP) women's wing. 'The entire matter is suspicious,' Raut said. 'Khadse has been talking about honey traps for the last three days. He is talking about the involvement of (state cabinet minister) Girish Mahajan in this but there is no probe related to it. Now that Khadse is talking, his son-in-law has been arrested,' the Rajya Sabha member said. Such incidents were occurring everywhere in Maharashtra, Raut said. He also accused the police of having become a servant and targeting those who speak against the government. Mahajan recently accused Khadse of trying to malign his image by raising baseless allegations in connection with an alleged honeytrap scandal. The fight between Khadse, a BJP veteran who quit the party to join the then undivided NCP in 2020, and Mahajan is not new. Both belong to the Jalgaon district. 'We followed a principle that family members (of political rivals) were never dragged. Unfortunately, people from the BJP are now targeting family members, maligning them,' Raut charged. He claimed that after the arrest of Khadse's son-in-law, Mahajan was just short of breaking into a dance. NCP leader and former minister Nawab Malik's son-in-law was arrested in a similar NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act case and so was actor Shahrukh Khan's son Aryan Khan, Raut pointed out.

Wrong to claim India halted Operation Sindoor under pressure, Rajnath Singh tells Parliament
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told Parliament on Monday that it was ' absolutely wrong ' to claim that India halted Operation Sindoor under any pressure. Opening a 16-hour debate in the Lok Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, Singh said that India decided to pause its action against the terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as it had achieved its political and military objectives. The defence minister also said that nine terror camps were destroyed at the start of the operation of May 7, and that India has proof of damage caused inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Singh said that the operation on May 7 lasted 22 minutes and was 'non-escalatory' in nature. He added that the armed forces had taken all precautions to avoid civilian casualties. 'Before executing Operation Sindoor, our forces studied every aspect and chose the option that would cause maximum damage to terrorists, while ensuring no harm to innocent civilians,' he said. Singh said that while the Opposition had questioned the government's claims, they had not once asked how many Pakistani aircraft had been shot down. 'I believe these questions do not reflect national sentiments,' he said. 'Their question should be whether India destroyed terror bases, and whether Operation Sindoor has been a success,' the defence minister said. 'The answer is yes. They should ask whether any of our brave soldiers have been harmed in the operation. The answer is no.' Tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad escalated on May 7 when the Indian military carried out strikes – codenamed Operation Sindoor – on what it claimed were terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The strikes were in response to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which killed 26 persons on April 22. The Pakistan Army retaliated to Indian strikes by repeatedly shelling Indian villages along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. At least 22 Indian civilians and eight defence personnel were killed in the shelling. India and Pakistan on May 10 reached an 'understanding' to halt firing following the four-day conflict.
