About 50 family members of the pilgrims who died in the tragic bus accident in Saudi Arabia will leave from here for the Gulf nation for the funeral, a senior Telangana official said on Tuesday. The funeral is expected to take place on Thursday, he told PTI. The Telangana government team, led by Minorities Welfare Minister Mohammad Azharuddin, reached Saudi Arabia to coordinate the relief efforts, including funeral arrangements, he said. The bodies, burnt beyond recognition, have been preserved. DNA tests would be conducted for the family travelling to Saudi Arabia to finalise death certificates.“Death certificates would be handed over only if DNA matches,” he said. He pointed out that the Saudi government may also provide compensation to the kin of the deceased, besides the Telangana government and travel compensation. DNA matching is crucial to follow the legal procedures, he said. The revenue department of the Telangana government would also have to issue relevant documents to the family members, he said.

Sharad Pawar alleges Pakistan officials attended terrorists` funerals

Amid rising India-Pakistan tensions, NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Friday said the presence of Pakistani government officials at the funerals of the terrorists killed during Operation Sindoor contradicts the country`s denial of involvement in terrorist activities in India, reported news agency PTI. Pawar said that while India is facing a grave crisis, the country is fully capable of responding to it with the strength of its defence forces. The octogenarian leader was speaking at a programme to commemorate the 66th death anniversary of social activist and educator Bhaurao Patil at the Rayat Shikshan Sanstha in Satara. His daughter and Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule, and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who heads the NCP, were also present, reported PTI. “India has never supported terrorist movements. What is happening is a result of terrorist activity (Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives). Despite Pakistan`s denials, its complicity is evident. Representatives of their government were present during the funerals of terrorists killed in Indian strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). If their government had no …

‘State funerals for terrorists in Pakistan’: India rejects ‘civilians killed’ charge at MEA briefing

India has rejected Pakistan’s claims of civilian casualties, stating that those killed were terrorists, not innocent civilians. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri condemned Pakistan’s actions, pointing out the country’s history of providing refuge to terrorists. New Delhi: India has strongly rejected Pakistan’s claims of civilian casualties following a series of attacks across Jammu and Kashmir, asserting that those killed were not innocent civilians but terrorists involved in violent activities. In a press briefing on Thursday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri condemned Pakistan’s actions, emphasising the ongoing issue of terrorism supported by the Pakistani state. “It is also odd that funerals of civilians are being carried out by coffins wrapped in their national flag, and state honours are being awarded. These are not civilians but terrorists who have been neutralised,” Misri remarked. Misri’s comments come in light of recent developments where Pakistan’s Defence Minister and former Foreign Minister acknowledged their country’s involvement with terrorist groups operating in the region. He pointed out the inconsistency in Pakistan’s claims, citing the example of Osama Bin Laden’s presence in the country, as …

Published by Webster

It was past midnight on May 19 when Ankush Yadav, 13, left home to attend tilak, a male-dominated ceremony held at the groom’s house before a wedding. The event was being conducted just 200 metres from Ankush’s house in Thallu Bigha village in Ghoshi block of Jehanabad district, Bihar. While red vermillion was applied on the foreheads of the men, the women who had been called to entertain the 500-odd guests began dancing on stage. As Bhojpuri music blared on, alochol flowed freely, and the tent throbbed with life, Ankush went up on stage. Minutes later, deafening sounds rang through the night and Ankush, a student of Class 7, suddenly dropped to the floor. A man called Priyanshu Kumar had fired a shot from a country-made gun and the bullet had hit Ankush’s stomach, say the police. Recalling the events of that tragic night, 35-year-old Kusum Devi, Ankush’s mother, says a villager rushed to their house and informed them of the incident. When she ran to the spot, the place was pitch dark and quiet. …
