Ministry of external affairs has strongly refuted Pakistan's accusations of Indian forces attacking its own cities, dismissing them as a "deranged fantasy" and disinformation. This denial follows Pakistan's retaliatory actions, including drone and missile attacks on Indian cities, which India claims were a response to Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist sites.

Many reasons. No one believes it on terrorism. Its key players often contradict each other. Pak army has lost domestic standing. And India’s communication skills are better

In a recent press conference, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi revealed that Pakistan launched a massive drone intrusion, sending 300-400 drones across 36 locations from Leh to Sir Creek, targeting Indian military installations. Indian armed forces successfully intercepted many drones using both kinetic and non-kinetic methods.

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has made a bizarre claim that Pakistani forces deliberately avoided intercepting Indian drones to conceal strategic military locations. This justification follows India's 'Operation Sindoor,' precision strikes on terrorist spots, and the thwarting of Pakistani drone and missile attacks.

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khwaja Asif and Information Minister Attaullah Tarar claimed five Indian fighter jets were shot down. While Pakistan has not produced any evidence, India too has stayed mum except for the Press Information Bureau debunking some random pictures claiming to show debris of “crashed” Indian jets

Amidst rising tensions, Edelweiss Mutual Fund CEO Radhika Gupta suggests three simple ways for Indian citizens to support the armed forces, including spreading accurate information, being a good national ambassador, and following rules. The IT ministry also issued an advisory for responsible online behavior, urging users to avoid misinformation.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma countered Rahul Gandhi's GST criticism, linking it to national security. Sarma defended GST, calling it a 'God-Sent Tax' that funds vital defense acquisitions like Rafale jets and S-400 systems. He emphasized that taxpayer money, collected through GST, strengthens India's security and growth.

Amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions, the home ministry has directed states and Union territories to implement civil defence measures under the 1968 Act. This directive follows Pakistani drone and missile strikes in Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan, retaliating against India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist sites after the Pahalgama attack. Indian air defence systems successfully intercepted most threats.
