In a first, foreign secretary engages Taliban; India may restart development projects
Wednesday, 8 January 2025 Foreign secretary Vikram Misri met Afghanistan's acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Dubai, discussing India's readiness to support Afghan development needs and receiving assurance on security concerns. The meeting, amid strained Afghan-Pakistani relations, focused on humanitarian aid, health sector support, and strengthening diplomatic and trade ties, including using Chabahar port for humanitarian purposes.
In a bold and unequivocal message, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dismissed US President Donald Trump’s claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. After a high-stakes phone call post-G7 Summit, India clarified that all communications with Pakistan were strictly bilateral — handled via military channels with no third-party involvement. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized India’s long-standing position against external mediation and underlined full political unanimity on the issue. Modi also told Trump that India now views terrorism as "actual war, not proxy war", following the deadly Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives.

Just hours after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire, Delhi has accused Islamabad of violating the deal. In a hard-hitting press briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri revealed that Pakistani forces intruded across the border shortly after the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) reached an understanding.
India has responded with strong retaliation, and Misri did not mince words—calling the intrusion “extremely condemnable” and placing full responsibility on Pakistan. Is the ceasefire already collapsing? Has Pakistan’s military undermined its own civilian leadership?

During a joint briefing, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri delivered a brutal shutdown to Pakistan's Army's DG ISPR after Pakistan showcased videos of Indian leaders Rahul Gandhi and Satyapal Malik criticizing the Indian government. Misri’s response, stating that "criticism is a sign of a functioning democracy, not a weakness," is going viral online, with Indians praising his diplomatic finesse. The exchange highlighted Pakistan’s lack of democratic freedoms on the global stage and served as a powerful counter to Pakistan’s information warfare tactics.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that Pakistan shelled Rajouri town early Saturday, killing the Additional District Development Commissioner, Raj Kumar Thapa. This attack adds to the growing civilian casualties in the region as tensions continue to rise. The Indian government has condemned the deliberate targeting of civilians and critical infrastructure. Operation Sindoor is currently active as the armed forces maintain high alert across border states. With international observers watching closely, this sharp escalation threatens to push the region into deeper conflict unless urgent diplomatic steps are taken.

The Indian government has called out Pakistan’s blatant lie that it was not targetting any religious places. India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri informed the media that Pakistan had targetted a gurudwara in Poonch which resulted in the death of civilians. Misri also termed Pakistan’s claims that India targetted Nankana Sahib in Pakistan, and was targetting its own cities as ‘Preposterous and Outrages’. He said that Pakistan’s attempts to fuel communal discord will fail as India’s unity is in itself a challenge to Pakisan.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has vehemently rejected accusations from the Pakistan Army linking India to a deadly suicide bombing in North.. IndiaTimes
Suspects in the March 2024 Crocus City Hall massacre that killed 149 people have reportedly told Russian investigators that a Ukrainian state entity ordered the attack. According to interrogation transcripts cited by Russian media, the attackers — all Tajik nationals — said the assault was executed by ISIS-K but coordinated through a handler named "Saifullo" linked to Ukraine.
The suspects were allegedly promised $13,000 each and instructed to flee to Kiev after the attack. They claimed their weapons came from Ukraine, with operational guidance originating from Türkiye and Afghanistan. Ukraine has denied any role in the incident, though it has previously admitted to sabotage inside Russian territory. The attack, which also injured over 600 people, marks one of the deadliest in Russia in recent memory. Questions persist around the true orchestrators of the massacre and whether foreign intelligence or proxy actors were involved.

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure.

U.S. President Donald Trump has sanctioned four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges for pursuing war crimes investigations against American and Israeli troops over actions in Gaza and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the ICC’s actions as illegitimate and a threat to U.S. sovereignty. Netanyahu praised the move, calling the ICC charges political. The ICC, EU, and UN strongly opposed the sanctions, warning they undermine global justice and shield war criminals from accountability.

Rama Duwaji—artist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani—has stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability.
But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside him—silent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYC’s most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwaji—the woman who may soon be NYC’s first lady.
