Bilawal Bhutto Denies Pak Link to Terrorists, Rejects India's Muridke Photo Proof
Pakistani leader Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has rejected India's proof of Pakistan and its Army's links to terrorists involved in Pahalgam attack. Speaking to journalists at the UN, Bhutto made a startling claim that the 'bearded man' seen in the picture at a funeral in Muridke is not a terrorist. He even went on to say the suspected terrorist only bears the same name as the person designated as terrorist by the US. The image, which was also shown to global leaders by Indian delegations, shows one of the key Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists mourning the death of other terrorists killed in India's Operation Sindoor surgical strike in Muridke on May 7. Shashi Tharoor was recently seen showing the photograph to Panaman officials during a meeting.#bilawalbhutto #operationSindoor #muridkeattack #lashkaretaiba #shashitharoor #pakistanterrorlink #pahalgamattack #indiaun #modidiplomacy #terrorproof #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Kashmir to Kanyakumari no longer just a slogan: LG
J&K lieutenant governor (LG) Manoj Sinha on Friday called inauguration of Kashmir rail project 'a momentous occasion that will go down in history'. In his address, Sinha expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for dedicating the historic railway projects to the people of Jammu Kashmir and the nation. 'Kashmir to Kanyakumari is no longer just a slogan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has turned this decade-long dream into reality. He has connected the hearts of millions of Indians, forging an unbreakable bond from north to south. With Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) and the launch of Vande Bharat trains to Kashmir valley, the Prime Minister has fulfilled the resolve of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Syama Prasad Mukherjee, who had dreamt of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat,' the LG said. He said that the world's tallest Chenab Railway Bridge and the country's first Cable-Stayed Anji Rail Bridge, inaugurated on Friday, ensures that J&K gets connected with new aspirations of progress. He said the skills of our engineers to build Chenab, Anji Bridge and hard work of our workers who carve through the mountains have eliminated the gaps that existed between the crown jewel of India and the rest of the country, the LG said. Sinha observed that the Prime Minister has changed J&K UT in the last 6 years. 'Its holistic development is top priority for the Prime Minister and his various policies, speedy implementation and industrialisation has brought the UT to the focal point of growth. Since April 2022, in the last three years, the PM has dedicated and laid the foundation stone of development projects worth over ₹1.15 lakh crore to the people of Jammu Kashmir,' the lieutenant governor said. He also expressed his gratitude to the PM for ensuring firm and decisive action against terrorism and its ecosystem. 'Operation Sindoor avenged the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam, and has drawn a new red line. On one hand the unmatched power of our armed forces is ready to protect the integrity of the nation and the other creative power is dedicated to a developed India,' the LG said. In a major boost to last mile connectivity especially in border areas, the PM also laid the foundation stone and inaugurated various road projects. He laid the foundation stone of road widening project from Rafiabad to Kupwara on National Highway-701 and the construction of Shopian bypass road on NH-444 worth over ₹1,952 crore. He also inaugurated two flyover projects at Sangrama Junction on National Highway-1 in Srinagar and at Bemina Junction on National Highway-44. These projects will ease traffic congestion and enhance traffic flow for the commuters. The PM also laid the foundation stone of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Institute of Medical Excellence in Katra worth over ₹350 crore. It will be the first medical college in Reasi district contributing substantially to the healthcare infrastructure in the region.

Ex-Pak PM Imran Khan's party threatens to launch full-scale movement for his release
A senior leader of incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan has threatened to launch a full-scale movement for his release after Eid Al-Adha if he is not freed before the festival. Ali Amin Gandapur, Chief Minister of the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the prominent leader of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, was speaking with media after meeting the PTI supremo at the Adiala Jail near Rawalpindi on Thursday. Khan, 72, has been in jail since August 2023 in multiple cases. His party had organised rallies in the past too demanding his release. 'If we don't see Imran Khan being released before Eid Al-Adha, we reserve the right to protest. We are moving towards a movement by bringing the people on the street against Khan's unjustified and unfair detention in fake cases,' Gandapur said. 'The nation must awaken and now it is time to release him from jail. We will no longer tolerate slavery. When we protested from time to time,' he said in response to a question. Gandapur stated that the PTI will make every possible effort and 'we will act swiftly,' as the country is being destroyed by the decisions of those 'who have seized power.' Gandapur termed Khan's continued imprisonment as 'a grave injustice,' and expressed frustration over the government's refusal to allow free dialogue with their incarcerated party leader. He also pointed out how the judiciary has lost its independence, particularly after the 26th constitutional amendment. 'There's no hope left from the judiciary. If the courts were truly independent, we would be seeing free and fair decisions.' Gandapur also condemned the prolonged detention of Khan's wife Bushra Bibi, who he claimed, has been kept under house arrest for 14 months 'without justification.'
