India calls Pak Foreign Minister’s remarks "'uncivilised"

These comments are a new low, even for Pakistan. Pak's Foreign Min has obviously forgotten this day in 1971, which was a direct result of the genocide unleashed by Pakistani rulers against ethnic Bengalis & Hindus: MEA
Pakistan is a country that glorifies Osama bin Laden as a martyr, and shelters terrorists like Lakhvi, Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar, Sajid Mir and Dawood Ibrahim. No other country can boast having 126 UN-designated terrorists and 27 UN-designated terrorist entities: MEA
We wish that Pak FM would have listened more sincerely y'day at the UNSC to the testimony of Anjali Kulthe, a Mumbai nurse who saved the lives of 20 pregnant women from the bullets of the Pak terrorist Ajmal Kasab. Clearly, FM was more interested in whitewashing Pak’s role: MEA

blocking the People’s Republic of China (PRC) from taking up

B.R Ambedkar's View of Article 370 Replying to Sheikh Abdullah

>>Barely had India recovered from Pakistani aggression in Kashmir, when it created yet another complication for itself.

#Ambedkar
#Article370
#Kashmir
>> This, despite the warning by Babasaheb Ambedkar and the reluctance of Sardar Patel to be associated with what came to be known as Article 370 of the Indian constitution on 17 October 1949.

2/n
We tend to forget some important markers from our past; otherwise, we should have set in stone these words spoken wisely by B.R. Ambedkar when he refused to draft Article 370.

Indian Air Force practicing OCA missions against Chinese PLAAF over North East India.
>> Offensive counter-air (OCA) is a military term for the suppression of an enemy's military air power, primarily through ground attacks targeting enemy air bases: disabling or destroying parked aircraft, runways, fuel facilities, hangars, air traffic control facilities and other
aviation infrastructure. Ground munitions like bombs are typically less expensive than more sophisticated air-to-air munitions, and a single ground munition can destroy or disable multiple aircraft in a very short time whereas aircraft already flying must typically be shot down
