If such a step was taken, I'm confident it was a well-calculated move made in the best interest of the country.'

This also indicates the global recognition of the threat of cross-border terrorism in India, and the critical role of financial flows in sustaining terror operations.

Indian embassy in Iran in touch with students to ensure safety, relocation amid Israel conflict
The Indian embassy in Iran has said that it is continuously monitoring the situation and engaging with Indian students to ensure their safety and relocation amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. The statement by the Ministry of External Affairs read, 'The Indian Embassy in Tehran is continuously monitoring the security situation and engaging Indian students in Iran to ensure their safety.' 'In some cases, students are being relocated with Embassy's facilitation to safer places within Iran. Other feasible options are also under examination. Further updates will follow. Separately, the Embassy is in touch with community leaders regarding welfare and safety,' it added. Earlier, former president of Jammu and Kashmir BJP unit Ravinder Raina said that the Centre is taking necessary steps to ensure the safety of students and businessmen from his state. On Sunday, the Indian embassies in Israel and Iran issued an advisory to all Indian nationals and persons of Indian origin to stay in touch with the office, and provided a list of emergency contact numbers on X (formerly Twitter). People were also advised to stay in touch with the embassy on social media. On the same day, Lok Sabha MP Ruhullah Mehdi said that an Israeli strike hit Hujat Dost Ali hostel in Tehran, housing several Kashmiri students. He said that some students sustained minor injuries. The J-K National Conference leader said he wrote to External Affair Minister S Jaishankar, 'urging their relocation within Iran or evacuation once the airspace opens.' Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also said he spoke to the Jaishankar who assured him that necessary steps were being taken in this regard. On the other hand, citizens of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Portugal, the Philippines and Finland have crossed the Astara border checkpoint and headed to the airport in Azerbaijan's capital, according to media reports. New Delhi and Baku are amid a diplomatic rift following the latter's support for Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. The conflict between Islamic regime and Israel has entered its fourth day with a wave of Iranian missiles breaching Israel's Iron Dome and hitting Tel Aviv and Haifa, among other cities. The direct confrontation between the two countries was triggered by airstrikes under the umbrella of Israel's Operation Rising Lion on June 13, which targeted Iranian nuclear and defence installations and crippled Iran's military chain of command by killing key officials.

Supreme Court stops Centre, IAF from releasing woman officer from service
The Supreme Court on Monday (June 16, 2025) directed the Centre and the Indian Air Force (IAF) not to release from service a woman officer, who was denied permanent commission. A Bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan referred to the May 22 order of the top court in which similar directions were passed to the Centre and the IAF on a plea of Wing Commander Niketa Pandey and said the same directions would apply in the case of Wing Commander Kavita Bhati. Without prejudice to the rights of the parties or equity in favour of the officer, the Bench said Wing Commander Kavita Bhati shouldn't be relieved and should be allowed to remain in service till the next hearing. Ms. Bhati, a short service commission officer, claimed she was wrongly denied permanent commission. The top court posted the hearing on August 6 before a regular bench, when matters related to IAF would be taken up for hearing. The top court on May 22 restrained the Centre and the IAF from releasing Pandey, who was part of Operation Balakot and Operation Sindoor but was denied permanent commission. Pandey claimed discrimination in granting permanent commission to her.
