PM Modi Recalls Phone Call With JD Vance Before India's Massive Response: 'Goli Ka Jawab Gole'
PM says India stood firm despite nuclear threats from Pakistan during Op Sindoor and said he told US VP Vance that any Pakistani misadventure would be met with deadly force.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday revealed that US Vice President JD Vance had tried reaching him on the night of May 9, shortly after India launched retaliatory strikes under Operation Sindoor to avenge Pahalgam attack. PM Modi said he was in a meeting with military officials at the time, and returned the call later.
'When I spoke to the US Vice President, he warned me that Pakistan may be preparing for a major attack," Modi said in the Lok Sabha. 'I told him clearly: If that's their plan, they will pay dearly. Goli ka jawab gole se diya jayega".
PM Modi also dismissed claims that India had come under pressure to halt Operation Sindoor. 'No global leader told us to stop," he said. 'The operation is still on, and India's forces are acting with full confidence. Pakistan's nuclear threats don't work anymore".

INDIA bloc to have dinner meeting on August 7, march to EC day after
Opposition INDIA bloc leaders are likely to have a dinner meeting on August 7 to discuss strategy over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) issue, sources said on Sunday. Opposition parties have expressed apprehension over the SIR exercise in Bihar, warning that it would lead to disenfranchisement of many(File/ANI) The opposition parties are also planning to take out a march to the office of the Election Commission of India on August 8 in protest against the SIR of electoral rolls exercise, they said. This comes amid a standoff on the SIR issue in the Monsoon Session of Parliament, which has been a near washout as the Opposition's demand for a discussion has failed to draw a positive response from the ruling alliance. According to the sources, the INDIA bloc party leaders will hold a dinner meeting on August 7 to discuss their strategy on the SIR issue. The meeting also comes as the election for the post of Vice President has been announced, and several opposition leaders have indicated that they may also field a joint candidate. Opposition parties have expressed apprehension over the SIR exercise in Bihar, warning that it would lead to disenfranchisement of many, and have termed it as "vote-bandi" and "vote-chori". The INDIA bloc parties have been protesting inside and outside Parliament Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday cited a ruling by former Lok Sabha speaker Balram Jakhar that the House cannot debate the functioning of a constitutional body like the EC to suggest the government's disapproval of the Opposition's demand for discussion. He, however, added that it was for the chairs of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha to take a call on the issue. Opposition parties have, meanwhile, said they will continue their protests to press for the debate, and if the government does not agree to a discussion on the issue in Parliament, the Monsoon Session may end up being a wash-out. Trinamool Congress leader Derek O'Brien on Sunday said the Opposition will give "tutorials" to the "shaky Modi coalition" on Parliament procedure and how to discuss the issue. The ruling BJP is "scared" of discussing the SIR underway in Bihar, he said and called the exercise "silent invisible rigging." "The SIR (Silent Invisible Rigging) vote chori is a subject that can easily be discussed in both Houses. BJP scared & are disrupting," the TMC leader said on X. "From Monday, August 4, we will give the shaky Modi coalition free tutorials in Parliament rules & procedure to teach them how it can be discussed," he added.

1 cop, 3 terrorists killed as militants ambush police checkpost in Pakistan
Agency: PTI Peshawar, Aug 3 (PTI) One law enforcement personnel and three terrorists were killed when a group of nearly 50 militants ambushed a police checkpost in Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, officials said on Sunday. Heavily armed terrorists attacked the Fateh Khel police checkpost in the Bannu district late Saturday night, police said. According to DIG Bannu, a group of 40 to 50 terrorists had attacked the checkpost. Police retaliated, and in the exchange of fire, one policeman and three attackers were killed, and the rest managed to flee. Two police constables were also injured in the attack. Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the attack and paid tribute to the slain policeman. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack. Over the past few months, several areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — including Bannu, Peshawar, Karak, Lakki Marwat, and Bajaur — have seen a series of militant attacks. Last week, six law enforcement personnel were injured in a quadcopter attack on the Miryan police station in Bannu. In July, three terrorists were killed in an intelligence-based operation in Bannu, while another died in an encounter with police in the Malakand district.
