J-K: Indian Youth Congress sets up relief camps in Poonch
New Delhi [India] May 11 (ANI): The Indian Youth Congress established relief camps in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir, on Sunday, to provide essential assistance to displaced individuals amid the rising India-Pakistan tension. According to the party's official statement, National President of Indian Youth Congress Uday Bhanu Chib started relief camps on the instructions of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi so that the Youth Congress could provide quick assistance to the affected areas. Chib said, 'We salute the bravery of the Indian Army, which has given a befitting reply to the enemies through precise and effective air strikes. Every single worker of the Indian Youth Congress is dedicated to serving the nation.', according to the release. Chib said, 'In this hour of crisis, the workers of the Indian Youth Congress are standing firmly with their people, with compassion, dedication, and courage.' 'In the past few days, whenever darkness fell on the battlefield of Poonch, the workers of the Indian Youth Congress remained on the ground and provided safe shelter, hot food and necessary medical aid to the displaced families through the IYC Relief Camp. This service will continue in this manner until the situation becomes completely normal,' the release added. India has delivered a strong strategic message by targeting terror camps in Muridke and Bahawalpur -- locations known to house the leadership of major terrorist organisations with links to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), according to high-level sources. Sources also said that Pakistan Air Force Base Nur Khan in Chaklala suffered significant damage, while Rahim Yar Khan airbase's runway was completely flattened in India's precision strikes under Operation Sindoor. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 in reply to the ghastly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22 that claimed the lives of 26 people. India had struck nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan sought to up the ante with a series of unprovoked escalations using artillery guns and drones. Following India's operation, the conflict between India and Pakistan deepened, which resulted in increased cross-border shelling from Pakistan and retaliatory action from the Indian Armed Forces.

Youth Congress holds ‘Tiranga March' to pay tribute to Pahalgam attack victims
The Indian Youth Congress (IYC) on Friday held a 'Tiranga March' at the Jantar Mantar here in a tribute to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack. Scores of party workers and supporters, including IYC's National President Uday Bhanu Chib and National Media in-charge Varun Pandey, took out the March from Jantar Mantar Square to Jantar Mantar – a few hundred metres distance.

"We appeal to the central government to neutralise the culprits who did this to the people of our country. Now is the time to give a direct and strict response, not diplomacy. The whole country stands with the army and the government, but the response should be visible on the border, not in words," Bhanu told PTI Videos. He said that in an all-party meeting yesterday the Congress affirmed its unequivocal support to the government. "The Congress party is committed to coordinating, cooperating and partnering with the government to root out terrorism. We have fought terrorism and separatism from time to time," Bhanu said. Calling the terror attack "a war against humanity," he said, "Infiltration to the interior parts of our country, killing innocent people, all this is possible only because the terrorist organisations sitting across the border get open support from the Pakistan government." He added, "Now there is a need to root out every hideout of terrorism, adopt a balanced but decisive approach between diplomatic pressure and military action, and most importantly, justice should be given to the family of every martyr. This was not just an attack, it is a war against humanity and we have to win it at all costs."
