There is a new normal in India's response to
cross-border terrorism
, they said, referring to the precision strikes and responding to Pakistan's violations at the Line of Control.
Live Events
Despite initial backchannel engagement to de-escalate, including a contact initiated by the Pakistani Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) with the Indian counterpart on May 10, the understanding was violated within hours. Sources had revealed that India targeted 11 Pakistan airbases.
As per the sources, India maintains that it would retaliate forcefully if provoked by Pakistan. Earlier yesterday, India is also said to have noted that any future act of terror will be treated as 'act of war.'

The government has said that after the May 7 strikes on terror infrastructure, every action by Pakistan was dealt with firmly. 'If Pakistan fires, India will respond more forcefully,' said the sources.
Operation Sindoor, initiated after the Pahalgam attack, is still underway and has included deep strikes inside Pakistani territory, including in Muridke, Bahawalpur, and flattening the Rahim Yar Khan runway.
'On the 9th and 10th, the Pakistanis hit 26 places. We hit them very, very hard—on airbases,' the sources said. India is also said to have conveyed to global interlocutors that it would not tolerate any attempt to equate the victims of terror with its perpetrators. 'Even-handedness will not be tolerated,' the sources added.
'There will be retribution for the Pahalgam terror attack. That was done,' said the sources, affirming the purpose behind Operation Sindoor. 'We will hit you, and we will hit you in your heartland. We haven't lost sight of everybody who was involved in terrorism in India.'
India clarified that there are no talks happening at the National Security Adviser (NSA) level. 'India NSA, Pakistan NSA talking is completely untrue. Only one talking will happen, that is DGMO to DGMO,' said the sources.
It was the Pakistani DGMO who requested for a ceasefire dialogue at 1 PM on Saturday, and the talks were held at 3:35 PM with the Indian DGMO. Officials said this outreach resembled Pakistan's past post-conflict behaviour. 'Pakistani did what they did after Kargil. After taking the hit, going to Americans,' they said, commenting on the U.S. role.
India has also intensified its diplomatic campaign. 'After the Pahalgam attack, we told the international community, that we will hit terror targets in Pakistan,' they said. A meeting of the UN's 1267 Sanctions Committee is expected next week, and India plans to present evidence of Pakistan's support to terrorism. 'The rest of the world has eyes. We will bring every piece of evidence,' the sources added.
On the
Indus Waters Treaty
, the government said it will remain in abeyance until cross-border terrorism ends. 'When we build it, we will take you there... and keep your bags ready,' said a source, referring to dam construction projects.
'The only talking we have to do with Pakistan is about handing over PoK and the terrorists responsible for attacks in India,' sources said. They added that India's position is non-negotiable and no other dialogue is on the table.

Telangana HC notice to CS over delay in releasing retirement benefits; warns of ex-parte action if no reply by July 11, retired officer alleges govt ignored court order
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court has directed the chief secretary to appear in person or through his counsel in a contempt case over release of retirement benefits of a court officer on July 11. The court also made it clear that failure to respond would result in the case being heard and determined ex parte. The court issued the directions while dealing with a contempt petition filed by MKM Saleem, a retired chief administrative officer (CAO) of Rangareddy district court, alleging that the state failed to comply with the HC's earlier directions in connection with releasing his retirement benefits. He had earlier moved the HC alleging that the state govt had not released his retirement benefits. In his Feb 2025 petition, Saleem claimed that he retired from service in June 2024 but his retirement benefits, including payment of general provident fund amounts and encashment of earned leave, were not released. He claimed that due to the delay, he was put to hardship in his day-to-day life and urged the court's immediate intervention. The govt pleader had then submitted that due to dearth of funds the amounts could not be released on time and assured the court it would soon be released. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The HC disposed of the petition, directing the govt to release all eligible benefits to Saleem as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the court order. With no sign of govt releasing his benefits, Saleem moved the court again. Justice Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao, while directing the chief secretary to appear on July 11, also ordered that a copy of the petition and affidavit be sent to him through registered post. He further directed the city civil court, Hyderabad, to ensure it is served to the chief secretary.

On World Music Day, Adnan Sami says 'whenever I display my love for India, it ignites the other side'
Though he started living in India in 2000, he continued to stay and work in Mumbai on a Pakistani passport, until he became an Indian citizen in December 2015. A 'proud Indian', composer-singer Adnan Sami doesn't mince his words when it comes to expressing his love for India, from posting a Tricolour in-ear after Operation Sindoor to taking trolls head-on when his allegiance for India is questioned. On World Music Day, he talks about being fearless, why he chose to make India his home, and more. Adnan Sami during the World Music Day interview Whenever I display my passion and love for India, it ignites the other side. They can't take that. It's like, 'Say anything, but don't say that'. They don't seem to understand that when they talk about the love for their flag, their country, nobody will turn around and say that they are doing so to prove something. But when I do that for my India, they say, 'He's trying to show off and prove his loyalty'. Every countryman shows their love and allegiance for their country, what's the big deal in that? At least I am showing it for my country, in Pakistan, they show it for the Army. It's the only country in the world where the Army has got a country in it and not vice versa. When you're born into a family of a certain faith or social status, it's not your choice, you inherit it. But when you convert and take to another religion, you do so because you study the philosophy of that belief and understand what it stands for. So, it's an informed decision. Making India my home didn't come on a platter. I could have become a German, British, Canadian or US citizen. I chose India because of conviction. And that's something Pakistan cannot stand. I too grew up amid the same propaganda in Pakistan, until I came and witnessed it myself. Now I know exactly how India is and how Pakistan is. If someone says I moved to India for money, I want to tell them that I left assets worth crores when I moved to India. When I stand at the airport in India and look at the flag, I tell myself: 'My kids better remember what their father went through to get that flag, because it's something that didn't come on a platter'. I live with those emotions. I have every right to love my country, my India. Not sparing trolls Growing up, we were told that we should never blow our own trumpet and be humble. But now we are living in a time when everyone is marketing themselves: 'Maine yeh kar liya, maine woh kar liya'. Earlier, if I felt sharing my opinion on something would be slightly controversial, I would just stay quiet, because main jhooth nahin bol sakta. But log khamoshi ko meri kamzori samajhne lagey, unhe lagne laga, 'yeh to backfoot pe hai'. Hence, I started speaking the language people understand, because the trolls needed to be told off. India, the land of music I went all over the world, but I never felt more at home with my existence and music than India. If I was a swimmer, India was my swimming pool. I wanted a place that could help my passion for music grow and you cannot deny that jitni mohabbat aur izzat music ko India mein di jaati hai, it's unparalleled. Wasn't it a miracle that as a public figure with a Pakistani passport, I could live here peaceful from 2000 to 2016, until I got my citizenship? Being fearless People evolve. I realised a few years ago that the good old cliche that the truth will set you free is so apt that you don't have to worry about anything else. Hum poori zindagi darr ke rehne mein guzaar dete hain. But when you realise ki zindagi ka sabse bada khauf sirf maut hai, aapko aur kisi baat ka khauf nahin hona chahiye kyunki woh waqt upar waale ne tay kiya hua hai. Your destiny is written by the Almighty so why have the fear of anyone else? I have seen so much in life, so I don't care about the consequences. Moving to India - personal or work decision? Personal. A lot of people separate their personal life from their profession. Music, to me, is my passion and has always been my personal space. It's never been a profession for me. I never look at the watch when it comes to music, the longest so far being 48 hours. I was like that back in my teenage and I am still the same. It's so beautiful that you make your livelihood out of something that's so much fun. I went all over the world, but I never felt more at home with my existence and music than India. If I was a swimmer, India was my swimming pool. I wanted a place that could help my passion for music grow and you cannot deny that joh mohabbat aur izzat music ko India mein di jaati hai, it's unparalleled. Wasn't it a miracle that as a public figure with a Pakistani passport, I could live here peacefull from 2000 to 2016, until I got my citizenship? When you started out, there was a section in the music fraternity that was not okay with 'outsiders'. Did you ever experience that outsider to insider transition? Pakistani musicians such as Mehdi Haasan Khan, Farida Khanum, Ghulam Ali, Nushrat Fateh Ali Khan etc were working in India for many decades. But when I and some other Pakistani musicians (such as Atif Aslam, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Ali Zafar) came in the scene, there was a difference between them and me. I was living in India and working here, while they would come, work and leave. So this section that had an issue comprised artistes who were frustrated themselves and were barely working. They should have realised that India is such a big market for music, that people from across the world would want to try their hand here, and they should have been welcoming. But the reasons for not allowing Pakistani artistes to work in India now is absolutely valid. Art has been used in the past for the purpose of political indoctrination. There's nothing like art has no boundaries. No matter who you are, you belong somewhere. Otherwise artistes wouldn't have been issued passports! Is your daughter Medina also into music? Yes, very much. She is 8 and plays the piano. I don't teach her. She has a teacher who comes in, as learning music needs a certain kind of discipline. She's also passionate about singing and writing poetry. How do you keep her guarded from all the negativity? I always wanted to send her to a school where she could just be a herself, and was not seen as a celeb child. I want her to have a normal childhood. I try to keep her away from all the filmi things, because this is not the time for it. When I enter the house, I am just baba who makes her a sandwich. That's my way of keeping her guarded. Baaki sab upar waale ke haath mein hai. What's Asha Bhosle to you? Asha ji is like a mother to me. My relationship with her is how a normal mother-son bond is. We love each other and we fight too. My respect for her as a human being and artiste is infinite. There's no one as brilliant and versatile as Asha ji. She's 91 and is still so magical. Lata Mangeshkar once said, 'Jo gaane main gaa sakti hoon, woh Asha gaa sakti hai. Par jo gaane Asha gaati hai, woh main nahin ga sakti'.

Tokyo snubs Washington: Japan pulls plug on 2+2 security talks with US; defence budget demand sparks row
Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba (left) and US President Donald Trump (PTI) Japan has cancelled a high-level meeting with its closest ally United States, after the Trump administration abruptly demanded Tokyo to spend more on defence, reported The Financial Times on Friday. US secretary of state Marco Rubio and defence secretary Pete Hegseth were expected to meet their Japanese counterparts, defence minister general Nakatani and foreign minister Takeshi Iwaya in Washington on July 1, for an annual 2+2 security talks. However, Tokyo called off the meeting after the US asked Japan to raise its defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP, up from an earlier request of 3 per cent, according to three sources familiar with the discussions, including two officials based in Tokyo, cited by the newspaper. A senior Japanese official stated that the decision to cancel the July 1 meeting was also influenced by the upcoming upper house elections on July 20, where the ruling Liberal Democratic Party is anticipated to lose seats. Reuters quoted a US government official confirming, Japan had 'postponed' the meeting and the decision was made weeks earlier, though no reason was provided. Meanwhile, a non-government source familiar with the matter confirmed hearing about Japan's withdrawal from the talks but was also unaware of the motive behind the move. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The Financial Times said, the new, increased demand came in recent weeks by Elbridge Colby, the third-most senior official in the Pentagon, who also recently stirred tensions with another major US ally in the Indo-Pacific by initiating a review of AUKUS, the nuclear-powered submarine deal with Australia. The tensions of security come as Japan and other US allies have been engaged with the United States in a tough trade talk over US President Donald Trump 's worldwide tariff onslaught. While speaking at the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue defence forum in Singapore last month, Hegseth urged Asia-Pacific allies to follow the 'newfound example' set by Europeans in boosting defence spending, pointing to regional threats from China and North Korea. 'The US is now playing hardball with allies in the Asia-Pacific,' one defence official was quoted. In March, Elbridge Colby's call for Japan to boost its defense spending, at his Senate confirmation hearing for under secretary of defense for policy, prompted a sharp response from Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who asserted that Japan's defense budget would be determined by Tokyo alone, not by outside pressure.
