Editorial | Trumpeting claims: On the U.S. President's claims, India and Pakistan Following Turkey's support to Pakistan amid heightened tensions with India, multiple educational institutions here, including Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), have either suspended their collaboration with Turkish universities or are considering it, officials said on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Operation Sindoor showcased the sharp rise of India's defence power and technological might as the military delivered precision strikes and neutralised Pakistani terror targets without crossing the borders, the Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.

"India has a lot deeper relationships with a much larger set of countries": US Expert
Washington DC [US], May 15 (ANI): Richard Rossow, Chairperson of India and Emerging Asia Economics, said that India has deeper relationships with many countries as compared to Pakistan. Rossow, while talking to ANI on Wednesday, said that India made threats emanating from Pakistan very clear, and has done a lot of work in being a leader of the Global South. 'Overall India has a lot deeper relationships with a much larger set of countries. They certainly made their voice known over time on concerns about the ever-present threat of terrorism emanating from Pakistan. To see that most countries that stepped in and voiced an opinion on this at all were siding with India. The countries that felt otherwise, you know, might have been a little bit quieter or offered their support more quietly to Islamabad,' he said. Rossow said that it is not surprising that India finds a lot of friends today than it would have a few decades ago. 'But India has done a lot of work on trying to be a leader progressively in the global South, its leadership at the G20, it's engagement with the West, the Quad, things like that. So it's not terribly surprising India finds a lot more friends when something like this escalates than, you know, maybe would have happened 25-30 years ago,' he said. As of Wednesday, an Indian technical team was in New York, interacting with the Monitoring Team of the 1267 Sanctions Committee and other partner countries in the UN. The team will also meet the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) and Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED). On Tuesday, during his weekly briefing, Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs, Randhir Jaiswal emphasised the links of the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack and The Resistance Front- a terror group that owned up to their involvement in the attack twice.

Indian team to present in U.N. evidence on Pahalgam terror attack
An Indian technical team has reached New York to present evidence regarding the Pahalgam terror attack to the Monitoring Team of the 1267 Sanctions Committee that decides on the global listing of terrorist groups, official sources informed on Wednesday (May 14, 2025). India has accused The Resistance Front (TRF) of carrying out the deadly April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, and it is expected that the meeting with the Monitoring Team will be the first step towards getting the TRF banned under the 1267 Committee. India-Pakistan ceasefire LIVE | Follow the updates on May 14, 2025 'An Indian technical team is in New York. They are interacting with the Monitoring Team of the 1267 Sanctions Committee and other partner countries in the U.N. They will also be meeting with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) and Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED),' informed an official source. TRF, founded in 2019, began as a little-known anti-India front that opposed the entry of 'outsiders' to Kashmir and over the last few years, it has come under the focus of the Indian authorities. The group started by spreading anti-India messages on the Telegram app, and post-Pahalgam, it has also been described as an off-shoot of the Pakistan-based terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba that India has accused of carrying out a large number of terror strikes both inside and outside Kashmir. During the Operation Sindoor of May 7, India bombed a large complex in Muridke near Islamabad that India claims to be the base of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. From the Indian point of view, the attack in Pahalgam is an extension of the Lashkar-e-Taiba's list of terror strikes that also include the 26/11 attack in Mumbai.

Police monitors making $750/hour: The new charges for taxpayers
CLEVELAND (WJW) — In February, the I-Team took hard questions to the head of the Cleveland Police Monitoring Team, and now we've found out what that group has charged taxpayers to answer those questions. Records show the lead monitor has billed the City of Cleveland a total of $3,300 for sitting down with the I-Team and other reporters. The bill included 'discussing with City officials regarding the media interviews' and 'preparing and participating in the interviews.' 3 Huron County teens credited with heroic water rescue Members of the Monitoring Team earn up to $750 an hour oversee reform in the Cleveland Division of Police as a result of a Federal Consent Decree. The group has been doing this job for 10 years, and the lead monitor tells us he does not know when the job will be finished. Another member of the group also billed a total of $3,200 for the interviews and preparing for them, though she never answered any questions for us on the day of the interviews. About three weeks later, U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno spoke out about what the I-Team has exposed in the past about taxpayer money going to the Cleveland Police Monitoring Team. For that story, we requested comment and we were told the Monitoring Team could not comment. But an invoice shows Karl Racine and Abby Wilhelm billed the City $900 for dealing with a media inquiry. Tesla Cybertruck reportedly vandalized in Solon U.S. Federal Judge Solomon Oliver gives the final approval over the bills turned in by the Monitoring Team. Cleveland City Hall has protested some bills in the past, and the city currently has some objections pending with the Court. When we talked to Karl Racine, the lead monitor, in February, we asked about the billing and what taxpayers are getting for their money. He responded, 'Making a mountain out of a molehill around issues concerning the cost of the consent decree misses the big picture.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
