Congress leaders Pawan Khera and Jairam Ramesh have endorsed Udit Raj’s criticism of Shashi Tharoor’s remarks on surgical strikes in Panama.

Tharoor, part of an all-party delegation, had stated that India crossed the Line of Control for the first time in September 2015 under the current government.

On Wednesday, Congress leader Pawan Khera criticised his fellow party leader Shashi Tharoor over his statement in Panama as part of the all-party delegation on Operation Sindoor outreach.

Khera took to X to refute Tharoor’s remarks in Panama where he had stated India crossed the Line of Control for the first time in September 2015.

Khera refuted Tharoor’s claims, citing former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement that many surgical strikes were conducted under the UPA government. Khera shared a video clip of Singh’s statement on social media, emphasizing that surgical strikes were not new to the current government.

Khera shared a link to the video and captioned it, “Former PM Manmohan Singh: Many Surgical Strikes Conducted Under UPA….”

In another post, the Congress leader wrote, “Professionally done, target-specific, limited-calibre counter-terrorist operations have been carried out across the LoC in the past too, but this is for the first time that the government has made it public,” Jaishankar said this to the Parliamentary Committee on External Affairs in October 2016.”

Notably, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had told Parliamentary panel that the Army had carried out “target specific, limited- calibre, counter-terrorist operations” across the LoC in the past too, but this is for the first time the government has gone public about it.

He also reposted the party leader Udit Raj’s remarks on his account where Udit Raj accused Tharoor of being a “spokesperson for the publicity stunts of the BJP” and criticised him for downplaying the achievements of previous governments. Raj pointed out that the Indian Army had crossed the LOC and international border in the past, citing examples from 1965 and 1971.

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh also endorsed Raj’s remarks and reposted them.

Udit Raj on Wednesday criticised his party colleague and Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor Tharoor, accusing him of echoing BJP’s narrative during his recent remarks in Panama.

Udit Raj questioned his loyalty to the Congress and accused him of undermining the party’s military legacy. The public fallout highlights serious internal tensions within the Congress party amid its international outreach efforts.

“Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is the super spokesperson of the BJP, and what the BJP leaders are not saying, speaking in favour of PM Modi and the government, Shashi Tharoor is doing… Does he (Shashi Tharoor) even know what the earlier governments used to do? … They (the Central government) are taking credit for the Indian Armed Forces. Shashi Tharoor has become the spokesperson for the publicity stunts of the BJP,” Udit Raj told ANI.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is leading a multi-party delegation in a global outreach programme, recently said in Panama that India has changed its approach in recent years, and terrorists have also realised they will have to pay a price.

Referring to 2016’s Surgical strike and 2019’s Balakot airstrike in his address, the Congress MP said, “What has changed in recent years is that the terrorists have also realised they will have a price to pay; on that, let there be no doubt. When, for the first time, India breached the Line of Control between India and Pakistan to conduct a surgical strike on a terror base, a launch pad – the Uri strike in September 2015. That was already something we had not done before. Even during the Kargil War, we had not crossed the Line of Control; in Uri, we did, and then came the attack in Pulwama in January 2019. This time, we crossed not only the Line of Control but also the international border, and we struck the terrorist headquarters in Balakot. This time, we have gone beyond both of those. We have not only gone beyond the Line of Control and the international border. We have struck at the Punjabi heartland of Pakistan by hitting terror bases, training centres, and terror headquarters in nine places,” Tharoor said.

Responding to this, Udit Raj in a post on X said, “How could you denigrate the golden history of Congress by saying that before PM Modi, India never crossed LOC and the International border. In 1965 the Indian Army entered Pakistan at multiple points, which completely surprised the Pakistanis in the Lahore sector. In 1971, India tore Pakistan into two pieces and during the UPA government, several surgical strikes were unleashed, but drum beating was not done to encash it politically. How could you be so dishonest to the party which gave you so much?”

Tharoor, who is leading the all-party delegation to the United States, Guyana, Panama and other nations, was not among the official choices suggested by the Congress to the government for the outreach delegations. (ANI)

In response to the controversy sparked by his recent comment suggesting that Kannada was born out of Tamil language, Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) president and actor Kamal Haasan on Wednesday clarified that his statement was made “out of love.”

Urging that such sensitive subjects be left to experts, Haasan said politicians — including himself — are not qualified to engage in academic discussions about language history.

“What I said was out of love, and a lot of historians have taught me language history. I didn’t mean anything,” Haasan said.

Haasan pointed out that leaders from various linguistic and regional backgrounds have served as the state’s Chief Ministers and said, “Tamil Nadu is a state where a Menon (MG Ramachandran) has been our Chief Minister, where a Reddy (Omandur Ramasamy Reddiyar) has been our Chief Minister, a Tamil (M Karunanidhi) has been our CM, and a Kannadiga Iyengar (J Jayalalithaa) has been our CM.”

“Politicians are not qualified to talk about language. They don’t have the qualifications to talk about it, including me. Let us leave all these very in-depth discussions to historians, archaeologists and language experts,” he added.

Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan faced outrage after claiming that the Kannada language originated from Tamil.

Earlier in the day, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah slammed actor Kamal Haasan following his reported remark, ‘Kannada is born out of Tamil, and said that he was unaware of the language’s “long-standing” history.

Congress MLA from Karnataka, Rizwan Arshad, also expressed his disappointment over Haasan’s remark, calling it unfortunate and questioning the necessity of such a debate at a time when national unity is paramount.

“What kind of a debate is this? The Kannada language has a history of thousands of years… Kannada and Tamil are ancient languages and part of our country’s foundation… Is this debate necessary at a time when all of us have to be united? … I did not expect Kamal Haasan to make such a statement. It is unfortunate,” Arshad said.

Karantaka BJP president BY Vijayendra also launched a scathing attack on actor Kamal Haasan for his alleged remarks claiming that “Kannada has its roots in Tamil. “

He labelled the statement an insult to the Kannada language and the self-respect of 6.5 crore Kannadigas.

Protests were held near the INOX cinema hall in Karnataka’s Belagavi against Kamal Haasan. Karnataka Rakshana Vedike organised the protests, which expressed anger and demanded his apology.

Meanwhile, DMK slammed BJP for stirring controversy over actor Kamal Haasan’s reported statement “Kannada is born out of Tamil,” accusing the party of creating trouble and dividing people by misrepresenting historical references as insults.

DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan defended Haasan, arguing that his comment was likely a historical citation rather than a personal opinion, and emphasised that the focus should be on a language’s usage and impact rather than its origins. (ANI)

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Wednesday approved the transfer and posting of 38 officers belonging to the Indian Police Service (IPS) and Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands Police Service (DANIPS) cadres, currently serving with the Delhi Police.

According to an official release, the transfers were based on the recommendations of the Police Establishment Board and will come into force immediately.

The officers included David Lalringsanga (IPS 1995), Dheeraj Kumar (IPS 2004), Raj Kumar Singh (IPS 2004), Vijay Kumar (2007), Umesh Kumar (2009), Pratiksha Godara (IPS 2011), Rajeev Ranjan (IPS 2012) and others.

Earlier this month, Delhi LG VK Saxena granted a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) for allotment of a Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) land parcel at Sarai Kale Khan.

The NOC pertained to a 2.5-acre (10,430-square-meter) land parcel from DUSIB for the project, which, in addition to redeveloping the ISBT, also entails creating associated passenger infrastructure and amenities.

Once redeveloped and integrated, Sarai Kale Khan would emerge as one of Delhi’s largest multi-modal transit hubs with ISBT, Delhi Metro, Indian Railway and the RRTS Network – all converging together and providing lakhs of commuters, including inter-state passengers, with seamless connectivity and enhanced amenities.

The Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (DTIDC) requested this land on February 2, 2024. Currently, the land is under the possession of DUSIB and has been confirmed to be free from encroachments, making it available for allotment.

DUSIB has also verified that there are no pending court cases or litigation concerning this land.

DUSIB, the land-owning agency, has submitted that three night shelters currently exist on the said land parcel. As per the Supreme Court, these night shelters could not be removed without the court’s approval.

However, it was agreed that DUSIB would approach the Supreme Court seeking its permission to shift the night shelters and the inmates to a nearby location. (ANI)

The Chennai Mahila Court has found the accused Gananesekaran guilty in the Anna University sexual abuse case on Wednesday. He was found guilty of all eleven charges.

A second-year student of Anna University was sexually assaulted on the Anna University campus in December. After an investigation, the Chennai Police had arrested Gananesekaran in connection with the case.

Speaking on the verdict, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami said, “The court has given its verdict today in the sexual abuse case. In this case, the AIADMK protested against the incident, and the voices of the students were heard. As a result of the following and a series of investigations, criminal charges were filed against the accused. The decision given by the court on the basis of documents is welcome.”

In her December 23 complaint to police, the student alleged that an unidentified man had threatened and sexually assaulted her when she was talking to her friend on campus.

Earlier, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin announced that his government will stand with the victim of the Anna University alleged sexual assault case.

Stalin highlighted that the accused was arrested shortly after the incident to drive his message home, repeating the government’s commitment to get justice for the victim.

Speaking in the Tamil Nadu assembly during the first session of the new year, Stalin said, “Members have spoken here by mentioning one University’s name. But I don’t want to mention that name, and don’t want to defame that name. Because he only made us all. With that emotion, I am leaving aside that name. No one can accept what happened to a student in Chennai. Sexual assault on a student is cruel. Legislature members have spoken here on the issue. Except one, all have spoken here with real concern. This one member has spoken to show this government in a bad light.”

Various political parties have cornered the government on the Anna University alleged sexual assault case, accusing the DMK government of going slow on the case. (ANI)

With DMK allocating one Rajya Sabha seat to Makkal Needhi Maiyam, its founder and actor Kamal Haasan has been named the candidate for the Upper House of the Parliament.

Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) leader Murali Appas said, “We have passed a resolution to elect Kamal Haasan as a Rajya Sabha member from Makkal Needhi Maiam party.”

Besides, the ruling DMK combine has named its three candidates for the Rajya Sabha election scheduled for June 19 this year. According to a release of the DMK, Salma, Advocate P Wilson, and SR Sivalingam are its candidates.

In the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly, each candidate requires a minimum of 34 votes to clinch a Rajya Sabha seat. The DMK-led INDIA bloc, with 158 MLAs (DMK: 133, Congress:17, VCK: 4, CPI: 2, CPM: 2), is poised to win four seats comfortably

Actor Kamal Haasan launched Makkal Needhi Miam at a public meeting in Madurai in 2018. Makkal Needhi Miam did not contest in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, and instead it campaigned for the DMK-led INDIA bloc in the State. In return, the DMK had promised a Rajya Sabha seat for the party.

Makkal Needhi Miam had secured 2.62% of the votes in the 2021 State Assembly election.

Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan has courted a political controversy with his alleged remarks claiming that “Kannada has its roots in Tamil.”

In a strongly worded post on X, BJP Karnataka State President Vijayendra Yediyurappa demanded an unconditional apology from Haasan, accusing him of displaying arrogance and an ungrateful attitude towards the Kannada community, despite having acted in Kannada films and benefited from their generosity.

“One should love one’s mother tongue, but showing disrespect in its name is uncultured behaviour. Especially artists should have a culture of respecting every language. It is the height of arrogance that an actor, Kamal Haasan, who has acted in many Indian languages, including Kannada, has insulted Kannada by including actor Shivarajkumar in the glorification of his Tamil language,” the BJP MLA from Shikaripura stated.

He further emphasised the historical significance of Kannada, asserting that the language has been a “prominent language” and well-respected in many regions across the world.

“Kannada has been a prominent language in many parts of the world, including India, for centuries. The fact that Kannada is the most respected language in the world should be known to narrow-minded people like Kamal Haasan. Kamal Haasan, who has also acted in Kannada films before insulting Kannada, has forgotten the generosity of Kannada and Kannada people and has revealed his ungrateful personality,” Yediyurappa added.

In Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, the Indian Air Force used air launched cruise missiles, long range stand off weapons and loitering munitions of different types which “blinded, numbed and created a decision paralysis” in the Pakistan Air Force in four days forcing it to seek ceasefire with India said sources who were part of the decision making process during the operation.

In the four-day conflict, the Indian Air Force carried out operations in a clinical manner, which led to major destruction of the Pakistani Air Force on both ground and in the air, sources in the defence and security establishment told ANI.

The major action took place between the two sides on intervening night of May 9th-10th and continued till the afternoon of May 10th wherein air bases along the length and breadth of Pakistan were targeted by India conveying a strong message that “we (India) can go deep, we can go wide and you (Pakistan) can do nothing about it.”

After India had attacked terror bases in Pakistan on the night of May 6th-7th, including the terror hubs in Bahawalpur and Muridke in Pakistani Punjab, the Pakistani side retaliated by firing missiles at military targets in India, which failed to leave a mark due to a strong multi-tier Air Defence system.

The Indian Air Force took the decision that in retaliation, it would first deal with the air defence network of the Pakistan Army which is deployed along the entire border with India including old American origin and Chinese radars and surface to air missiles of Chinese origin including the HQ-9s with maximum range of around 250 Km plus.

Sources told ANI that the Indian Air Force used multiple methods to deal with the air defence radars by targeting the radar stations situated in the Pakistani Punjab area, and 4-5 of them were taken out by the Harop and Harpy loitering munitions. The targets destroyed by the Indian weapons also include a launcher site of the Chinese air defence missile system.

The targeting of the air defence network, including Lahore, created major gaps in the Pakistan Air Force’s capability to monitor Indian activities from May 7th to 8th onwards.

However, “blinded” by the destruction of its radar network in major areas, the Pakistani Air Force was still flying very deep within their territory to avoid the wrath of Sudarshan S-400, Saksham, Shaurya, Samar and Akash air defence missiles which had been deployed very strategically on the front, the sources said.

The Pakistanis on May 8 evening responded with Turkish and Chinese drones to saturate Indian air defence networks but could not do so as the entire Indian air defence network from Siachen to Naliya was highly active including the small calibre L-70 and Zu-23 air defence guns which were doing major damage to Pakistani drone attacks along with the big air defence weapons of the Air Force and Army.

The Indian Army was also causing major damage to the Pakistan Army and keeping it fully engaged in the areas opposite Jammu and Kashmir, using its artillery guns and rocket launchers overwhelmingly.

The Indian Air Force on May 9th went in to aggressive mode by destroying the command and control (C2) centres of the Pakistan Air Force at the Chaklala, Sargodha and Murid air bases which were giving a battlefield picture to the Pakistan air defence networks which had been majorly affected by Indian attacks the day before that.

The C2 centres at the three Pakistani bases were taken out by the three major weapons, including the world’s fastest air-launched supersonic cruise missiles, Rampage and the Scalp. The Mirages, Rafales, Su-30s and the MiG-29s have been equipped with these missiles in the last 5-10 years.

The extensive damage caused to the three command and control centres “numbed” the Pakistani Air Force as they were not able to communicate or see the complete battlefield picture as there was no link between the Advanced Early Warning and Control system aircraft of PAF and their ground stations and the fear of Sudarshan from the May 6-7 night had forced them to go deep within a narrow Pakistan air space and hiding behind civilian aircraft was being adopted as deliberate tactics by them.

On the same evening on May 9-10, around 1 AM, the Pakistan Air Force mustered courage and started launching attacks using surface-to-surface tactical missiles and fighter aircraft.

The major bases which they trying to target were the Adampur base and two high-value assets in Punjab and Gujarat, respectively, the sources said.

The Indian air defence missiles, especially the indigenous ones, played a key role in thwarting the attacks by intercepting the Chinese weapons. The sources said the low quality of weapons launched by Pakistan was so inept that some fell almost completely intact, only to be recovered later by industrious locals on the ground and handed over to Indian defence forces.

The Indian Air Force started its action to create a “decision paralysis” by attacking Pakistani air bases in Sargodha, Rafiqui, Rahimyarkhan, Jacobabad, Bholari and a Cantonment in Karachi on the morning of May 10.

The Indian attack was launched from deep inside Indian territory using long-range, precision weapons, with no surface-to-surface missiles involved. The missiles hit targets in Pakistan and caused major destruction with pinpoint accuracy and intelligence.

The Pakistani air base in Bholari was targeted at a hangar which housed a Saab 200 AEW&C airborne radar and surveillance aircraft along with at least 3-4 western-origin fighter aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force.

The destruction caused was massive, and the Pakistani Air Force has not yet started taking out debris inside the hangar. One of the air bases in the Punjab sector saw three missiles being fired at different parts of the runways, and the aircraft were not able to fly for at least eight hours.

The Indian attack was being monitored by the satellites as well as Indian AWACS aircraft.

At the beginning of the Operation Sindoor, the top leadership had conveyed a message to the forces that the strikes at terrorist hubs and universities must be big enough to send across a strong message to terrorists’ backers in the Pakistani military.

The forces had got the message that they won’t have to be content with dropping a relatively smaller payload. The destruction caused by the missiles, which has been shown mainly by social media and Pakistani networks at the terror hubs, also shows how the missiles breach the targets through one hole on rooftops and create massive destruction in the buildings targeted by them.

The same small hole on the rooftop could also be seen in the Jaish building targeted by the Indian Air Force in 2019 Balakot attacks, and one can make out the destruction that it must have caused there, the sources said.

The in-built systems of tracking and observing targets by the special munitions used to destroy radar stations and air defence networks have also given video evidence to the Indian Air Force, and they have been showcased to the top political and military leadership.

The attacks against the Pakistani Air Force have taken them at least five years back and caused great damage to them and their Chinese and Turkish inventory of weapons, which could not stand even against vintage Pechora and OSA-AK Russian origin air defence systems.

The sources said that the real capabilities of the Sudarshan S-400 air defence systems could be seen during the night of May 9-10, as it was firing and thwarting all types of missiles and aircraft attacks on Indian military assets.

The Sudarshan could have created a record of sorts by hitting targets at very long ranges. Technical analysis of the targets engaged by the Indian missiles is on at the moment and it is going to take some more days for the Indian Air Force to be able to put out a full picture as it wants to be “500 per cent sure” of official claims to be made by it, added the source to ANI.

Sources said that the unexpected attitude of the Indian Air Force in the skies and the Indian Army on the ground made the Pakistanis and their western colleagues seek a ceasefire early in the morning of May 10, and they were in touch with their Indian national security counterparts.

Sources said that attacks were carried out by a “large package of aircraft from North to South” using long-range vectors, which produced desired results in sending across a strong Indian message. (ANI)
