'The anti-India and terrorist organisations that attacked the forehead of Mother India and wiped the vermilion (sindoor) from the foreheads of many families have been brought to justice by the Indian Army through 'Operation Sindoor'. For this, the entire nation is today saluting the Indian Armed Forces," he added.

'Operation Sindoor is not just a military action; it is a symbol of India's political, social, and strategic willpower.

"Rahul Gandhi is useless, insults the army": Union Minister Giriraj Singh
Begusarai, (Bihar) [India], June 6 (ANI): Union Minister Giriraj Singh launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi on Friday, calling him 'useless' and accusing him of insulting the army. Singh made these remarks while commenting on Rahul Gandhi's visit to Bihar, saying that Rahul Gandhi's words resemble those of Pakistan and that he doesn't respect the nation. While speaking to reporters, Giriraj Singh said, 'Rahul Gandhi opposed India's valour, questioned its Army's bravery, and tarnished the army's reputation worldwide. The Bihar public will oppose him, why would they vote for someone who doesn't respect the army or the nation? Rahul Gandhi's tongue is like Pakistan, and he does not respect the nation.' Singh also stated, 'PM Modi isn't being insulted. Did the army win in 1971, or did Indira ji win? It's the army that won. Atal ji was in the opposition, and he said there's no party now, only Bharat. And this useless person (Rahul Gandhi) is mocking and making fun of the nation's bravery and the army. Such a person should be boycotted.' The leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, arrived at Gaya Airport in Bihar on Friday. According to the official Congress account on X, he is scheduled to address the 'Constitution Conference' and participate in multiple programs. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi visited Darbhanga, interacted with students, and discussed issues such as caste census and reservation. The LoP reached Ambedkar Hostel in Darbhanga in May to deliver an address despite being denied permission by Bihar Police, which also led to a case against him by the district administration. He emphasised the importance of social justice and criticised the government's policies, highlighting the need for a caste census, stating that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was forced to announce it due to public pressure. The Bihar Assembly elections are expected to be a multi-cornered contest with the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) and the BJP, facing off against the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) comprising the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the INC, and other parties. The last assembly elections were held in October-November 2020. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has won a simple majority in Bihar, winning 125 seats in a closely contested election. The BJP won 74 seats while the JD(U) secured 43 seats. The Mahagathbandhan, including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and Left parties, managed to secure 110 seats in the state's 243-seat legislative assembly. The Bihar Legislative Assembly election for all 243 constituencies is scheduled to be held in October or November this year. (ANI)

PM Modi interacts with students, Railway staff during Vande Bharat inauguration in J&K's Katra
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir, interacted with school children and Railway personnel on the Vande Bharat Express prior to its inauguration at Katra Railway Station, reported ANI. PM Modi is in Jammu and Kashmir today, marking his first visit since the Pahalgam terror attack. He inaugurated multiple development projects worth more than ₹ 46,000 crore at Katra in Jammu and Kashmir. On Friday, June 6, 2025 PM Modi flagged off two Vande Bharat Express trains at Katra Railway Station, a direct link between the Jammu division and Kashmir. The trains, which are designed to operate in cold climatic conditions, are expected to reduce the travel time between Katra and Srinagar from around six to seven hours by road to three hours. The train will pass through the Anji Khad Bridge, India's first cable-stayed railway bridge, and the Chenab Bridge, the tallest railway bridge globally. PM Modi also inaugurated the world's highest railway arch bridge - Chenab Railway Bridge and India's first cable-stayed Anji Bridge in Reasi district. Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, and Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw attended the inauguration. These bridges are part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link project of Jammu and Kashmir. The Chenab Railway Bridge is part of the Katra-to-Sangaldan stretch that will connect New Delhi directly with Kashmir through Katra. With a height of 359 meters, this bridge will officially link the Kashmir Valley with the rest of India through the railway network for the first time in history. The project encountered various engineering and logistical challenges due to the challenging terrain and sensitivity to seismic activity in the region. The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link project, which spans 272 km and costs approximately ₹ 43,780 crore, comprises 36 tunnels and 943 bridges. The project aims to establish an all-weather, seamless rail connectivity between the Kashmir Valley and rest of India.
