India does not send dossiers any more, we only give a befitting reply, says Nadda
Bharatiya Janata Party national president J.P. Nadda on Saturday (May 31, 2025) said a safe and strong India is marching ahead under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership after the display of the nation's power during Operation Sindoor. 'The operation has only been halted, while the fight against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism will continue,' Mr. Nadda said. Mr. Nadda was on a day's visit to Jaipur to participate in the celebrations marking the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar, the former queen of the Malwa kingdom, attend the BJP's 'Tiranga Yatra', and interact with the party workers. He spoke at two functions at the Rajasthan International Centre (RIC) and the Entertainment Paradise Hall, besides addressing the BJP workers at the Sanganer airport. Mr. Nadda said India had made it clear through its surgical strikes [in Pakistan], air strikes and Operation Sindoor that a 'befitting reply' would be given to the attackers by entering their own territory. 'India does not send dossiers [to Pakistan] any more, like the one after the 26/11 attack. Modi ji doesn't complain, he executes what he says,' he said. The new normal The BJP president said the Operation Sindoor, which had demonstrated India's military capability, had handed down a punishment to Pakistan 'beyond its imagination', as promised by Mr. Modi. 'Nine terror hotspots, including the headquarters of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammed, were destroyed in 22 minutes. Eleven air bases [in Pakistan] were also destroyed. This is the new normal,' he said. While affirming that Operation Sindoor would continue as long as Pakistan nurtures terrorism, Mr. Nadda called upon the BJP workers to apprise the people of the party's national security policy, and come forward to defend the nation. Disburses aid At the women's empowerment programme at RIC, Mr. Nadda flagged off 150 Kalika patrolling units of the Rajasthan Police and transferred financial assistance to the beneficiaries of Lakhpati Didi Yojana, Lado Protsahan Yojana, SC/ST pre-matric scholarship scheme, and the distance education scheme. He also launched the Swasth Nari Chetana Abhiyan and the Garbh Pathshala Yojana on the occasion. Mr. Nadda, who holds the Health & Family Welfare portfolio as a Minister in the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre, said the culture of politics had changed in the country after 2014. 'Instead of blame game, every section of society is being empowered now,' he said. 'Modiji has made accountability and responsibility the new definitions of politics. We are willing to give report cards for our work… The double-engine government in Rajasthan is engaged in public service with its new schemes for all sections of society,' Mr. Nadda said. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Union Ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Bhagirath Choudhary, former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, and BJP State president Madan Rathore were among those who attended functions along with Mr. Nadda. Mr. Nadda also visited the Raj Bhavan to meet Governor Haribhau Bagade.

Pro-India parade filmed in Gujarat state, not Pakistan
"RSS marches in Balochistan. You must have heard the name RSS Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh," reads a Hindi-language X post on May 20, 2025, referring to the group that is the ideological fountainhead of India's ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) (archived link). "These days it has become active in Balochistan, see," the post adds. Its featured footage shows a group of people holding Indian flags and banners, marching through a street. Similar posts surfaced on Facebook after the BJP launched a national flag campaign called "Tiranga Yatra" to highlight New Delhi's recent military action against Islamabad (archived link). India carried out airstrikes that it said targeted "terror camps" inside Pakistan in early May in response to an attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir which New Delhi blames on its neighbour. Islamabad denies the charge (archived link). The conflict that ensued killed 70 people on both sides and pushed the nuclear-armed neighbours to brink of a war before an unexpected truce halted the fighting (archived link). However, there have been no official reports following the crisis of the RSS staging a pro-India march in Pakistan's Balochistan province, where attacks by separatist groups have soared in the past few years (archived link). The video in the posts has been misrepresented. A reverse image search using keyframes led to the same video uploaded on YouTube on May 17, 2025. Its description says the visuals show a "Tiranga Yatra" march in Gujarat's Surat city (archived link). According to a report from The Indian Express newspaper, the parade happened on May 14 and saw attendees playing patriotic songs and holding up placards hailing Indian soldiers (archived link). Banners visible in the clip are written in the Gujarati language and a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who hails from the Indian state, could be seen at the 24-second mark. Using shop signs as clues, AFP was able to confirm the location of the footage by comparing its visuals with Google Maps street imagery of a road in Surat (archived link). AFP has debunked other misinformation stemming from the India-Pakistan conflict here.
