'Today is a big day for all entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises because they have been the biggest partners in India's economy. Small and medium enterprises, poor women, and entrepreneurs have played a major role, even though some groups recently tried to question India's growth during global uncertainty,' he told ANI.

BJP hails PM Modi, says India isolated Pakistan diplomatically
In a post on X, BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said Pakistan 'pleaded for an understanding' after suffering 'catastrophic losses', 'In just 72 hours, under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has rewritten the rules of engagement with Pakistan,' he added. The party's remarks came after India and Pakistan on Saturday reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea, with immediate effect after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes. New Delhi, May 11 (PTI) The BJP on Sunday asserted that India has rewritten the rules of engagement with Pakistan under the decisive leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Bhandari said India called out Pakistan's 'nuclear bluff' with strategic resolve, struck deep inside Pakistani military zones from Lahore to Rawalpindi and destroyed terror headquarters of Jaish and LeT in Munirke and Bahawalpur. 'Sent a clear message: no inch of Pakistani territory is beyond India's reach, crippled Pakistan economically by pausing the Indus Water Treaty,' he said. India isolated Pakistan diplomatically, exposing its terror ecosystem globally, he added. 'In an era where conventional wars — from Russia-Ukraine to US-Taliban — have failed to achieve strategic ends, India under Prime Minister Modi has adopted 'Chanakya Neeti' – smart, swift, and sovereign,' the BJP spokesperson said. 'This is not strategic restraint. This is strategic dominance, and fight against Pakistani terror is not over,' he added. PTI PK DV DV This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

'Will have to build next gurukuls in Karachi and Lahore': Yoga guru Ramdev predicts Pakistan's collapse
NEW DELHI: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev and BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari made strong statements about Pakistan on Sunday, discussing the country's internal conflicts and military capabilities.

Baba Ramdev expressed his views on Pakistan's internal stability and military preparedness against India. — ANI (@ANI) "Pakistan is going to break on its own. Pakhtun, the people of Balochistan, are demanding their independence. The situation in POK is even worse. It does not have the strength to fight India.

I think that in a few days we will have to build the next Gurukul in Karachi and another in Lahore," said Ramdev. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thousands Are Saving Money Using This Wall Plug elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Click Here Undo Pradeep Bhandari addressed Pakistan's current situation and India's potential response to the Pahalgam attack. "Pakistan is convinced that it neither trusts its Army nor its defence preparedness. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India is poised to deliver a strong response to those orchestrating terror and turn the handlers of terror to dust," Bhandari said. Bhandari also called on the Congress party to support the national stance. "When there is fear even within Pakistan, Congress should also come forward and be a part of this national resolve. I hope Congress opens its eyes," he added. The tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified since the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which resulted in 26 casualties. The Modi government has granted complete operational freedom to the armed forces regarding the response strategy, including mode, targets, and timing. India has implemented several measures, including suspending the Indus Water Treaty, to signal its strong stance against Pakistan's support of cross-border terrorism. Pakistan's military is currently experiencing a severe shortage of artillery ammunition, limiting its combat capabilities to approximately four days. The ammunition shortage is linked to recent arms deals with Ukraine, which have depleted Pakistan's war reserves. Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF), responsible for military supplies, has been unable to maintain adequate ammunition levels due to increased global demand and aging production facilities. The current ammunition reserves can only support 96 hours of intense conflict, creating a significant vulnerability in Pakistan's military preparedness.

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi government has given the armed forces complete operational freedom to decide on the mode, targets, and timing of India's response. The government has also announced a series of measures, including putting the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance, to send a strong message to Pakistan for its support of cross-border terrorism. Pakistan's military is facing a critical shortage of artillery ammunition, severely limiting its warfighting capabilities to just four days. The shortage is attributed to the country's recent arms deals with Ukraine, which have drained its war reserves. Sources say the Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF), which supplies the military, has struggled to replenish supplies amid surging global demand and outdated production facilities. As a result, Pakistan's ammunition reserves can sustain only 96 hours of high-intensity conflict, leaving its military vulnerable.
