1- While the terrorists attacks were ongoing in 🇵🇰, 🇮🇳media/sponsord social media accounts started spreading disinformation about the situation raising questions over their connivance with the hostile elements who have been working to create instability in Balochistan since long.
2- Terrorists were using state of the art weapons like M-16s, 7D rifles (foreign origin), foreign manufactured NVDs and other equipment raising serious Qs about who was directly providing this logistical aid to these terrorists while they were undertaking these heinous attacks.
3-🇦🇫is being used as launch-Pad by Indian handlers In an organised effort to foment violence and anarchy in #Pakistan especially #Balochistan. There is a clear shift in terrorists' strategy of launching physical attacks, fully funded and planned with Indian and foreign support.

#China SURPRISES US WITH HYPERSONIC MISSILE TEST,
@FT reports...

THIS launch of nuclear-capable rocket that circled the globe took #USA intelligence by surprise.

Month ago, Frank Kendall, USAF secy, hinted that Beijing was developing a 'new' weapon and had made huge advances.
He declined to provide details, but suggested that China was developing something akin to the “Fractional Orbital Bombardment System” that the USSR deployed for part of the Cold War, before abandoning it. “If you use that approach, u don’t have to use traditional ICBM trajectory.
"It’s a way to avoid defences and missile warning systems,” said Kendall.

In August, General Glen VanHerck, head of N.American Aerospace Defense Command, told a conference that China had “recently demonstrated very advanced hypersonic glide vehicle capabilities”.

Modi's RSS Venture - Indications

Taliban Rise in Kabul; "Empires Of Terror" are temporary, Modi at Somnath projects inaugural.

"Empires Of Terror" narrative by Modi as 2024 polls near is an attempt to feed masses with hyper ideological notions; Rajia & Rashtra.

1/4
RSS Ideology accuses Taliban of "terrorizing", & also terrorizes Kashmiris.

Hence this Somnath venture is nothing but a symbolic cover-up for Modi's psychological satisfaction to overcome the failure of putting all eggs in one basket - in case of Afghanistan.

2/4
Thus, Intl community that debates Islamophobia & Muslim radicalization should take into account Modi's RSS driven Govt policies intended for Akhand Bharat that are radicalizing India by giving birth to Hindutva extremism at a fast pace - threatening regional & intl peace.

Najib Wanted to join his family, had already left for #Delhi
Sevan,To prevent 🇵🇰🇮🇳 bilateral ties from worsening over Najibullah, had already taken 🇵🇰 PM Nawaz Sharif into confidence before requestng India to give the embattled Afghan president political asylum.
India’s PM Narasimha Rao took an hour to decide that 🇮🇳would host #Najibullah
Dostam had been receiving political, financial, and military patronage from Najibullah. total “wild card,” as then 🇮🇳ambassador to Kabul Vijay K Nambiar terms it, Dostum turned hostile towards his Patron.
Dostum’s men decided not to storm the plane, and Sevan didn't disembark.
