In a high-stakes exchange at the United Nations General Assembly, India firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that he mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Indian diplomats emphasized that any understanding between New Delhi and Islamabad was reached bilaterally — directly between the two nations — and not through any third party. The message was clear: India sees its disputes with Pakistan as matters to be resolved by them alone, without external intervention. In the same diplomatic move, India issued a stern warning to Pakistan over terrorism emanating from its soil. India demanded that Pakistan dismantle militant training camps and hand over terrorists wanted by India, and reaffirmed its “zero tolerance” policy toward sponsoring or harbouring terrorists. Indian representatives also decried what they called Pakistan’s repeated glorification of terror groups, calling such behavior unacceptable in global forums. #IndiaPakistan #UNGA #Diplomacy #BilateralDialogue #Ceasefire #Terrorism #NationalSovereignty #ForeignPolicy #Security #IndiaStance
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a case against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the U.S.-based general counsel of the banned Khalistani organization Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), for allegedly offering a ₹11 crore reward to "Sikh soldiers" to prevent Prime Minister Narendra Modi from hoisting the national flag at the Red Fort on Independence Day. The incident occurred during a "Meet the Press" event at the Lahore Press Club in Pakistan on August 10, 2025, where Pannun rejected India's sovereignty over Punjab and promoted Khalistan. The NIA's FIR charges Pannun with promoting Khalistan, spreading disaffection among Sikhs against India, and conspiring to disrupt a national event. In a related development, Inderjit Singh Gosal, a close associate and bodyguard of Pannun, was arrested in Ottawa, Canada, on multiple firearms-related charges. Gosal has been a significant figure in SFJ’s Canadian operations, especially after the 2023 killing of pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. His arrest follows a high-level security meeting between India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and his Canadian counterpart Nathalie G. Drouin, aimed at improving bilateral cooperation and easing tensions stemming from Canada’s accusations about India’s role in Nijjar’s assassination. #GurpatwantSinghPannun #SikhsForJustice #Khalistan #IndependenceDayThreat #NIA #NationalSecurity #Terrorism #CanadaArrest #SFJ #newsone
