Breaking: Pakistan Shuts Airspace, Indian Warships Move Towards Pakistan, Water War Begins

Pakistan has issued a maritime warning ahead of a missile test off the Karachi coast, intensifying tensions with India following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan-based terror groups and retaliated by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and shutting down key diplomatic and border ties. As Pakistan prepares surface-to-surface missile tests in the Arabian Sea, India has expelled Pakistani diplomats and ordered SAARC visa holders to leave. Both nations now scale down their embassies, raising fears of escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. #PakistanMissileTest #IndiaPakistanTensions #KarachiMissileLaunch #CrossBorderCrisis #KashmirAttack #IndusTreatySuspended #DiplomaticExpulsions #SAARC #ArabianSea #MilitaryStandoff #NuclearNeighbours #IndiaDefense #PakistanArmy #SurfaceToSurfaceMissiles #IndianHighCommission #WagahBorder #MissileWarning #ShehbazSharif #ModiGovt #IndiaPakistanNews #BreakingNews #GeoPolitics #MilitaryTensions #SouthAsia #MissileLaunchAlert #Terrorism #DefensePolicy #SecurityConcerns #NuclearThreat #IndoPakConflict Also Read Warming Arabian Sea Linked to Devastating Landslides in Kerala's Wayanad :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/arabian-sea-warming-triggers-wayanad-landslides-011-3893345.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Navy Assists Fishing Vessel With Pakistani Crew In Arabian Sea - Check Details :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-navy-assists-fishing-vessel-with-pakistani-crew-in-arabian-sea-check-details-3816111.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack on Portuguese Ship in Arabian Sea Raises Security Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/portuguese-flagged-ship-attacked-arabian-sea-houthi-rebel-threat-011-3813191.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.194~

Waqf Amendment Bill: Necessary Reform for Transparency & Inclusivity | Strengthening India’s Future

The Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025, is a crucial reform that brings transparency, accountability, and inclusivity to the management of Waqf assets in India. This reform aims to ensure that Waqf land and resources are used for the public good, preventing misuse and corruption while empowering marginalized communities, particularly Pasmanda Muslims. The Bill’s provisions include digitizing Waqf assets, providing public access, and including non-Muslim members in Waqf Boards to ensure broader representation. Despite protests and misinformation, the government’s goal is clear: to create a more efficient, transparent, and inclusive system that benefits all of India. #WaqfAmendment #IndiaReform #Transparency #Inclusivity #WaqfBill #ModiGovernment #Empowerment #IndianPolitics #WaqfReform #SocialJustice #Bharat #PublicGood #PasmandaMuslims #Corruption #LandReform #SecularIndia
