As the country celebrates the return of Ram lalla to his abode after decades of exile, the exile of #KashmiriPandits – a consciousness with Ram embedded in their civilisational memory – from the cradle of civilisation they called their home, continues. timesnownews.com/opinion/34-yea…

Delhi’s fire services are stuck in 2009 numbers, and NCR's ladders can’t even reach our tallest towers. How many tragedies will it take for officials to act? @BhanDivya breaks down the alarming reality behind Delhi's fire preparedness.

HAD THE PAPER PUBLISHED A POSTER LIKENING MODI TO MAHADEV WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE REACTION? Kannada paper Vishwavani portrays Karnataka CM as Mahadev on page 1.

The EU- Pakistan joint communiqué issued after Kaja Kallas’ visit to Pakistan contains the following paragraph: “The Pakistan side briefed on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. The EU side briefed on Russia’s war against Ukraine. Both sides expressed support to peaceful resolution of conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy, in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter.” This paragraph has many very objectionable elements. By accepting this language in the text the EU accepts that Jammu and Kashmir is an international issue that can legitimately figure in a joint statement between Pakistan and a third party. The implication is that Jammu and Kashmir remains an unsettled issue territorially. India’s clear position is that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Worse, an equivalence between Ukraine and J& K is established. If Pakistan briefs Kaja Kallas on the Kashmir issue, she briefs Pakistan on the Ukraine issue. The EU is also terming J&K as a conflict, which is Pakistan’s formulation. The EU is also accepting that the J& K conflict should be resolved in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter. Even the Chinese formulation contains a reference to bilateral agreements between India and Pakistan. By bracketing J&K and Ukraine, Kaja Kallas willingly have up that option and played Pakistan’s game. We should reject this para strongly and state our position on J& K firmly.

TRUMP ASSURES INDIA IT CAN COUNT ON HIM 100% BUT MAKES AN EXCEPTION FOR PAK? POTUS pushes Muslim nations to sign up to Abraham Accords as a "mandatory" part of any Iran deal but also says "one or two" may have reasons to not join and that's "acceptable". Pakistan has never recognised Israel. The Palestinian cause is deeply wired into its domestic politics and military narrative. If Washington were to link any future Iran deal to formal recognition of Israel, Pakistan would have a major migraine.

Cute tech or a con? Chinese startup PettiChat claims its AI collar 'translates' barks and meows into human speech with almost 95% accuracy. Would you buy one? @bhandivya gets into the details.

JUST IN: Record breaking result in Falta Repoll in West Bengal. -BJP’s highest win margin from across state (109021) -surpasses earlier highest win margin at Naxalbari (104265) -in 2021, BJP won only one seat in areas where Muslim population crossed 30% (87/89 such seats were won by TMC) -in 2026, BJP has won Falta where Muslim voters make up 35% of population -CPM comes in at second position. Muslim votes shifting to CPM -Cong gets only 10k votes as compared to over 40K by CPM -TMC’s Jahangir Khan gets less than 8000 votes, at 4th place. Compare this with what happened here in 2023, 2024 (screenshot attached) -this is in Abhishek Banerjee’s Lok Sabha seat of Diamond Harbour

NO ONE IS ABOVE NATIONAL “DUTY”. NO FIRST AMONG EQUALS. Govt has slapped export taxes on petrol, diesel & jet fuel exports. This is to stop BIG OIL COS from prioritising foreign profits during Gulf crisis. Exporting fuel is now costlier: Petrol export costlier by Rs 3/litre Diesel by Rs 16.5/litre and ATF by Rs 16/litre This step will INCREASE domestic availability as Oil Cos like RIL, IOC may see oil export margins shrink losing incentive to ship fuel abroad. THERE IS NO CHANGE IN EXCISE DUTY ON DOMESTICALLY SOLD FUEL.
