AAP MP Raghav Chadha slams Pakistan: 'Lies and loans, terror and tolerance don't go together'
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Raghav Chadha on 30 May called Operation Sindoor a 'measured' and 'non-escalatory' response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament said India's hand of friendship can transform into a 'fist of retribution' if someone indulges in misadventure. "Very recently, there was an unfortunate incident in Pahalgam. It becomes very important that we highlight that India's strategic autonomy is also reflected in the fact that in the aftermath of the most cowardly attack of Pahalgam, where 26 civilians were butchered, India did not go around town seeking consent to retaliate," Chadha said while speaking at the 'Ideas for India Conference 2025' in London, United Kingdom on 30 May. Two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack, India on 7 May conducted precision strikes on at least nine terror camps in Pakistan in what is known as 'Operation Sindoor'. India and Pakistan indulged in four days of military action post Operation Sindoor. The two nations, however, agreed on an understanding to halt military action on 10 May. At a global stage, Chadha said, Pakistan is not a victim state, it's a terror state. "Lies and loans can't go together. Diplomacy and duplicity of Pakistan can't go together. Terror and Tolerance can't exist together. India seeks peace — but if provoked, retribution won't be an exception, it will be an expectation," he said. Lies and loans can't go together. Diplomacy and duplicity of Pakistan can't go together. Chadha also pointed out that Pakistan today is in economic turmoil and in an institutional crisis. 'India today is known to export software, to export education, to export agricultural products, dairy products, so on and so forth. Pakistan today is known to export only one thing, terrorism. India is investing in healthcare, education, science and technology, research and development,' he said. Earlier this month, Chadha was also invited as a keynote speaker at the prestigious Asian Leadership Conference (ALC) 2025, held in Seoul, South Korea. He strongly condemned the Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack in Pahalgam on a global stage.

AAP MP Raghav Chadha slams Pakistan: Lies and loans don't go together, nor do terror and tolerance

Alcon Inc. (ALC)'s TRYPTYR Wins FDA Nod for Dry Eye Disease
Alcon Inc. (NYSE:ALC) has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved TRYPTYR (acoltremon ophthalmic solution) 0.003% for the treatment of signs and symptoms of Dry Eye Disease (DED), marking a major milestone for Alcon Inc. (NYSE:ALC) and patients alike. TRYPTYR is the first-in-class TRPM8 receptor agonist eye drop, designed to rapidly stimulate natural tear production by targeting corneal sensory nerves, a novel approach for DED management. A healthcare professional wearing a health communications device discussing patient data with a colleague. In pivotal Phase 3 trials (COMET-2 and COMET-3), TRYPTYR demonstrated a significant increase in natural tear production as early as Day 1, with up to four times more patients achieving at least a 10mm increase in tear production at Day 14 compared to placebo (42.6% vs 8.2% in COMET-2; 53.2% vs 14.4% in COMET-3). These results were consistent through Day 90, highlighting its rapid and sustained efficacy. With nearly 38 million Americans affected by DED but less than 10% receiving prescription treatment, TRYPTYR addresses a critical unmet need, especially given the dissatisfaction and slow onset associated with existing therapies. Alcon Inc. (NYSE:ALC) expects to launch TRYPTYR in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2025. While we acknowledge the potential of ALC to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than ALC and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about this READ NEXT: and Disclosure: None.

Health authority CEO says alternative care patient increase comes as no surprise
The number of patients waiting in hospital beds for an alternate level of care (ALC) in Newfoundland and Labrador has more than doubled in the last five months, and the CEO of the province's health authority says he is not surprised. "The fact is, the need for hospital beds is driven by people getting old and fragile," Pat Parfrey said in a recent meeting with reporters. "We have an aging population, and we've gone up by 25 per cent in the last decade of seniors, and we're going to go up by 25 per cent in the next decade." According to an access-to-information request filed by the Progressive Conservatives, which CBC News has reviewed, there are 327 people waiting in ALC beds as of May 2025. This includes seniors requiring long-term care. That's an increase of 181 people since December 2024. "That's a full hospital. That's not good enough," PC Leader Tony Wakeham told reporters on Thursday. Shortage an old issue But Parfrey questions the numbers. In central and western Newfoundland, a shortage of ALC beds is not a new issue. "We've had ALC levels of 30 and 40 per cent in central and western for years, and it's directly related to not having the places that frail elderly people can go into," he said. In St. John's, Parfrey said the number of ALC patients is less than 10 per cent at the Health Sciences Centre and less than 20 percent at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital. In the meantime, he said, the province's health-care facilities have maintained the same number of ALC beds for two decades. "It's not in the slightest bit surprising that we're running into problems," he said. The health authority is developing a plan to address the shortage of beds, which Parfrey said involves getting more acute care beds in St. John's. To do so, he said, NLHS must provide more beds for transitional care, which it currently provides at Chancellor Park in St. John's. "We would need to provide other places more beds for restorative care. We're going to open beds at the Miller Centre for restorative care and we need more long-term care facilities," Parfrey said. Gridlocked hospitals Health Minister Krista Lynn Howell told reporters on Thursday the province's hospitals get caught in a cycle when beds are not available. "We do realize that it's a cycle where the beds are not available in our acute care system because there are a number of people waiting to be placed in whatever appropriate venue," Howell said. Parfrey compared the cycle to a gridlock. "The ambulances come along and there's no place to put the patient, and you get offload delay, and that leads to inefficiencies. And because you don't have enough beds or they're occupied by people who need a different level of care, the emergency rooms are getting blocked up, and people are in corridors," he said. "You get gridlock." Parfrey said NLHS will offer the province a plan that outlines short, medium, and long-term approaches to solve the overcapacity problem within the next few weeks. When asked by CBC News if the plan should have been made previously, given the knowledge of the province's aging population, Parfrey said, "maybe that's true."

Indian American real estate tycoon Anita Verma-Lallian closes $51 million data centre deal in Arizona
Anita Verma-Lallian and Chamath Palihapitiya Arizona Land Consulting (ALC), a data centre investment fund led by Indian American real estate investor Anita Verma-Lallian, has recently closed on a landmark $51 million land deal, strengthening its position as a driving force in Arizona's AI infrastructure race. Well-known Silicon Valley venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya also joined the investment group backing the deal, alongside other prominent tech investors. "Partnering with Chamath [Palihapitiya] represents more than just capital. It's an alignment of vision for America's AI future. When you have Bill Gates building his smart city next door and tech titans choosing Arizona over Silicon Valley, it's clear we're witnessing a historic shift. This $51 million acquisition is a declaration that the future of AI infrastructure will be built on Arizona soil,' Verma-Lallian of real estate firm Arizona Land Consulting (ALC) said about the deal. In a press release, ALC, said that this partnership highlights the growing momentum behind Arizona as America's next epicentre for AI and advanced computing. 'Investing in AI infrastructure is not only critical to solving our economic challenges, it is a matter of national security. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Roar into Style!

This data centre project is led by a great team - I'm excited to partner with Anita [Verma-Lallian] and do more of this over time.' The Sri Lanka-born, Canadian American investor and CEO of Social Capital, Palihapitiya, said. The transaction is the second for Verma Lallian's strategic vision to meet surging demand for AI-ready real estate, with the newly acquired land positioned among high-profile neighbours, including Bill Gates, a press release from Arizona Land Consulting stated. According to the press release, key factors driving ALC's acquisition include energy innovation including partnerships in waterless cooling technology for data centres and exploring next-gen power sources like fusion and renewables; a pro-growth environment in the state of Arizona; a prime land asset amid the state's tech boom and a disaster-resistant geography that is ideal for mission-critical data centres. "The AI opportunity can only scale if we have the infrastructure to support it. Suitable land for data centre development is in short supply, and this is the most attractive project I've seen. DYA is partnering with ALC on this because there is going to be a massive shortage of compute for years to come,' Ethan Agarwal, managing partner, DYA Capital, said.
