The petition against Mr Vadra has been filed by the Hindu Front for Justice and others before the Lucknow bench of the high court. It was listed for hearing before a bench of Justices Rajan Roy and Om Prakash Shukla on Wednesday, but it could not be heard. The plea has sought that the Centre be directed to form a special investigation team (SIT) to probe Mr Vadra’s remarks. The petition has also sought that action be ordered against the businessman under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Minister Piyush Goyal On J&K Attack

Published by Webster

Mumbai: Union minister Piyush Goyal has said that terror attacks like the one in Pahalgam would continue to disturb the nation as long as all 140 crore Indians don’t regard patriotism and nationalism as their “paramount dharma”. He emphasised that such acts would never break India’s spirit. Speaking to reporters on Friday, Mr Goyal asserted that the conviction of the people would ensure the resumption of tourism in Kashmir soon, and pilgrims will continue their Amarnath Yatra. He said India’s rising global stature was troubling certain forces. “These incidents represent the desperate last efforts of those powers. It is an unbearable attack, but we will not spare anyone,” the Union Commerce Minister added. “As long as 140 crore Indians do not consider patriotism and nationalism as their supreme duty, such unfortunate incidents will continue to trouble the country. I believe that the power of India, which is emerging globally, is causing some discomfort to certain individuals,” the Minister said. Mumbai, Maharashtra: Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, “As long as 140 crore Indians do not consider …

When Terror Struck Paradise: What Comes After Pahalgam

When Terror Struck Paradise: What Comes After Pahalgam

Published by Webster

Any analysis of the heinous terrorist attack at Pahalgam must begin with an outright condemnation and a deep expression of regret for the loss of innocent lives in the most brutal manner. It must also include a firm resolve to avenge this atrocity against the perpetrators from Pakistan, who, unable to take their own nation forward, seek to pull others down. The 22 April 2025 terrorist attack in Pahalgam marks a significant escalation in Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in Kashmir. The shift of focus from south of the Pir Panjal (Rajouri-Poonch) back to the Valley suggests a recalibration by Pakistan’s ISI and its affiliated terror outfits. The attack occurred amidst a potentially high tourist season, G20 legacies, and recent political outreach efforts in J&K – all of which threatened Pakistan’s relevance in the evolving Kashmir narrative. The strategic symbolism of the event, therefore, is immense. Pakistan’s likely strategic intent was to reignite terrorism and revive the fast-dwindling separatist sentiment in the Valley, thereby disrupting the socio-economic normalization and democratic engagement that the Government of India has been …

Over 90% Of Terrorists Active In J&K Are From Pak: Officials

Published by Webster

New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir, which witnessed the massacre of 26 tourists in Pahalgam on Tuesday afternoon, has seen an increase in infiltration through the International Border, with 40-50 attempts being made in the past 6-8 months alone, officials have said.  There are over 120 terrorists active in the hinterland in the Union Territory, more than 110 of whom are from Pakistan, the officials said, adding that the number of locals is only between 5 and 10. Of the over 120 terrorists, over 70 are believed to be active in the Kashmir valley and between 50 and 60 in the Greater Jammu region south of the Pir Panjal.  The Resistance Front, an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s deadly attack.  Local recruitments have gone down in Jammu and Kashmir, declining from 121 in 2022 to 21 in 2023 and just 6 in 2024.  Last year, 10 infiltration bids were foiled on the Line of Control and 25 terrorists were killed. One such infiltration bid was also foiled on Wednesday, with two …

Navy Officer’s Wife Salutes Coffin

She got married to a Lieutenant in the Indian Navy and then left for Jammu and Kashmir for her honeymoon. Less than a week later, she found herself hugging her husband’s coffin, sobbing inconsolably and needing help to steady herself because of her grief – but then stood ramrod straight and gave him a farewell salute, shouting “Jai Hind”. Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, 26, from Karnal in Haryana married Himanshi Narwal on April 16. The reception was held three days later and the couple left for Kashmir on Monday.  A day later, they were in the picturesque meadow of Baisaran near Pahalgam, enjoying ‘bhelpuri’ (a snack made of puffed rice), when a terrorist shot Lieutenant Narwal in the head. Blood splattered on her face, Himanshi could be heard saying in a video on Tuesday: “We were having bhelpuri when a man came and shot my husband.”  On Wednesday, Lieutenant Narwal’s body was brought to Delhi in a coffin and Himanshi stood beside it. “I pray that his soul rests in peace… We will make him proud …
