I don't care if Member of Parliament, from Budgam District, Kashmir, leaves his political party, National Conference, which he by the way just resigned from, or goes back to it, joins any other political outfit, starts his own or leaves active politics. What I do bloody well care about is that Indian State should not ever again allow the politicians of Kashmir Valley to trade their politics over the dead bodies of children who got consumed in their separatist rhetoric from the years 2006 to 2020. Never again, never ever again. Why use the tragedy of poor Tufail Matoo's father for your political statement? Why revive the vulture feast politics of Kashmir, that consumed the lives of 500 youngsters in Kashmir, in stone pelting clashes from 2006 to 2020? Are you not happy that it's been six years and we have no more tragedies like that of Tufail Mattoo. Why are you trying to reignite a politics of mass graves of children?

INS Kolkata spotted undamaged.Defence Minister Rajnath Singh shared recent anti-piracy ops of @indiannavy images off Mumbai. As claimed by inbreed porki handles using AI generated image of INS Kolkata collision during INS Kolkata and PNS Hunain Standoff.
My congratulations to #Indian Navy for successfully executing a meticulously coordinated 48-hour operation to rescue all 20 crew members of the pirated fishing vessel, Azini, more than 3000 km from Mumbai in the Arabian Sea, on 02 Nov 26. The swift localisation, interception and safe release of the crew and vessel from significantly-armed pirates, with timely support from the Indian Air Force, speak well of the Indian Navy’s high operational readiness and ability to respond decisively to maritime threats across the region. Our brave personnel have once again demonstrated India’s ability, intent and resolve to safeguard lives, uphold maritime security and ensure stability across the Indian Ocean Region. India continues to stand resolute in ensuring SAFE SEAS and a free, open and secure Indian Ocean Region. #IndianNavy #IndianAirForce #SafeSeas

Kapil Dev was underrated. He was a better all-rounder than Imran, Hadlee, or Botham.

The journey begins long before the first train runs. Tracks and overhead electrical infrastructure take shape along the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train corridor, bringing the vision of faster travel closer to reality. 📍Navsari, Gujarat

🇮🇳 just pulled off an impressive 48 hour joint Indian Navy–IAF operation to rescue 20 Iranian crew from pirates at a distance of 3,000+ km from Mumbai (INS Kolkata + C-17 MARCOS airdrop), proving once again the ability to carry out long range special ops and further enhancing India’s reputation as the net security provider of the Indian Ocean Maybe the IRGC can return the favour by stopping the limpet mines, RPGs and projectile attacks on tankers carrying Indian seafarers in the Strait of Hormuz? Friendship works better when it’s not one-sided. @Iran_in_India
The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New Delhi expresses its sincere appreciation to the Government of India, the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force for their successful operation to rescue the 20 Iranian crew members of the fishing vessel Azini from pirates. We highly commend the professionalism, courage and effective coordination demonstrated by the Indian Armed Forces, reflecting India's strong commitment to Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) and its role in saving lives beyond borders. This humanitarian operation stands as a testament to the spirit of friendship, solidarity and cooperation between Iran and India. We extend our sincere gratitude to all those involved in ensuring the safe rescue of the Iranian crew.
