Moscow: India has made a strong case against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism at several high-level forums in Russia, with a multi-party parliamentary delegation—comprising Members of Parliament including Brijesh Chowta from Dakshina Kannada—clearly articulating the country's stand. Led by MP Kanimozhi, the five-member delegation was received by officials at the Indian Embassy in Moscow, where Ambassador Vinay Kumar briefed them on the broader scope of Indo-Russian ties. The delegation first held discussions with Andrei Denisov, Deputy Chair of the Russian Federation Council's Committee on Foreign Affairs, along with several senators. The Indian team highlighted Pakistan's ongoing support for terrorism and detailed India's firm response, including the successful 'Operation Sindhoora' following the Pahalgam terror attack. They also conveyed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unequivocal stance on the need for a global fight against terrorism. Later in the afternoon, the Indian MPs visited the State Duma where they met Leonid Slutsky, Chair of the International Affairs Committee, and other members, continuing their engagement on strategic issues concerning terrorism and security. In a significant meeting at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko was briefed on how Pakistan has fostered terrorism over decades. The delegation also visited the Russian Institute of Strategic Studies and held talks with its Director Mikhail Fradkov, focusing on India's counter-terrorism policy. Across all Russian platforms, India reiterated the need for global unity in combating terrorism, particularly emanating from Pakistan-backed networks. The Indian MPs also interacted with Russian scholars and strategists to discuss coordinated international efforts. The delegation is scheduled to participate in a major forum in Moscow on Saturday before heading to Slovenia for the next leg of their diplomatic engagement.

Candlelight rally held honouring martyr Naik
Devanakonda: In a heartfelt tribute, the people of Devanakonda along with ex-servicemen and local youth conducted a solemn candlelight rally to honor the sacrifice of soldier Murali Naik, who was martyred during recent cross-border firing in Jammu and Kashmir. Organised under the leadership of the CPI and various youth associations, the rally commenced from Chaduvula Ramayya Bhavan and concluded at Nalugu Sthambalu (Four Pillars Junction) in Pattikonda, as participants prayed for the departed soul and expressed solidarity with his family. Former soldiers Ram Anjaneyulu, Kannappa, and Narasimhulu, speaking at the gathering, strongly condemned Pakistan's continuous provocations. They warned that if Pakistan fails to cease its aggressive actions, it would face serious consequences. They demanded that both the central and state governments provide necessary support and relief to Murali Naik's bereaved family. Retired ZPHS Headmaster Uchirappa and former Sarpanch Uchirappa recalled that Murali Naik, a native of Thalli Tanda village in Gorantla Mandal of Penukonda constituency, Anantapur district, had laid down his life defending the nation. They emphasized that his sacrifice would remain immortal in history. The speakers also condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Pahalgam, Kashmir, where Pakistani militants targeted Hindu pilgrims. In response, the Indian Army executed Operation Sindhoora, conducting precision strikes on terrorist camps inside Pakistan, targeting only terror infrastructure without harming civilians. Expressing concern, the ex-servicemen criticized the Pakistani government for conducting funerals for slain terrorists, indicating continued state support for terrorism. They highlighted that many nations globally are standing in support of India due to Pakistan's role in nurturing terrorism. They further condemned the Pakistani military's use of drones and bombings across Indian territory as an attempt to escalate conflict and warned that if provocations continue, Pakistan will face severe repercussions. The gathering called upon Indian citizens to stand united beyond political affiliations and support the armed forces who safeguard the nation's sovereignty and peace. ASI Srinivasulu, Chandrasekhar, Pradeep, Ramakrishna; NDA coalition leaders Malakanna, Ravi Kumar, Murali; villagers Madhubabu, Vijay, Ravindra, Veeresh Reddy; and FRUP School Correspondent Raghunath, and others participated in the programme.
