Old friends no longer speak. Bullet-pocked walls bear the marks of violence, & residents make no secret of possessing arms. A local elder likens life to Kargil in 1999. At the heart of a hostage crisis that deepened Manipur’s divide. deccanherald.com/india/manip…

#Kashmir It is so heartening to see that Kashmiris are realising the futility of supporting the terrorism and separatism Welcome change of hearts @sumirkaul 👍 Jai Hind 🇮🇳
J&K Separatists Renounce Past, Pledge Allegiance to India. A major political shift sees over 15 former leaders disowning secessionist ideology via affidavits and public ads. This marks a reversal of a 90s trend where people were forced to disassociate from the government. #Kashmir #Srinagar #India A story m.economictimes.com/news/pol…

Statement released by the Embassy of India, Washington DC: 1. Terrorists killed 26 civilians in Jammu & Kashmir on April 22 in a brutal and heinous attack.  2. India has credible leads, technical inputs, testimony of the survivors and other evidence pointing towards the clear involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in this attack.  3. It was expected that Pakistan would take action against terrorists and the infrastructure that supports them. Instead, during the fortnight that has gone by, Pakistan has indulged in denial and made allegations of false flag operations against India. 4. India’s actions have been focused and precise. They were measured, responsible and designed to be non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani civilian, economic or military targets have been hit. Only known terror camps were targeted.  5. Shortly after the strikes, NSA Shri Ajit Doval spoke with US NSA and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and briefed him on the actions taken. #OperationSindoor
