India-Pakistan Ceasefire Shattered? Vikram Misri Accuses Pak of Intrusion After Deal-MEA Briefing

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.

India's Vikram Misri SHUTS DOWN Pak Army Spokesman, Turns Rahul, Malik Clips Into Democratic Victory

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.

‘Pak attacked Gurudwara’ | ‘Attempt to cause communal discord’ | ‘India’s unity a challenge to Pak’

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. #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaVsPakistan #IndiaPakistanTensions #PakistanVsIndia #IndiaStrikesPakistan #IndiaAttackPakistan #IndiaPakistanConflict #IndiaPakistanNews #OperationSindoorLive #IndiaPakistanRelations #OperationSindoorVideo #IndiaPakistanTension #OperationSindoorLatest #IndiaPakistanLatestNews Also Read Jaisalmer Enforces Full Blackout and Curfew Amid Rising Indo-Pak Border Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/jaisalmer-enforces-full-blackout-and-curfew-amid-rising-indo-pak-border-tensions-4148589.html?ref=DMDesc India Accuses Pakistan Of Using Turkish Drones, Civilian Flights As Cover In Attacks Amid Rising Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-accuses-pakistan-of-using-turkish-drones-in-attacks-amid-rising-cross-border-tensions-4148531.html?ref=DMDesc MHA Urges Emergency Civil Defence Measures After Pakistan's Coordinated Attacks :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/mha-urges-emergency-civil-defence-measures-after-pakistans-coordinated-attacks-4148453.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

New Zealand Parliament Erupts Over Haka Protest Against ‘Racist’ Bill | 3 Maori MP's SUSPENDED [Video]

New Zealand Parliament Erupts Over Haka Protest Against ‘Racist’ Bill | 3 Maori MP's SUSPENDED

New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights. #NewZealand #Māori #Haka #Parliament #IndigenousRights #RawiriWaititi #DebbieNgarewaPacker #HanaRawhitiMaipiClarke #TePātiMāori #MāoriCulture #GovernmentProtest #MāoriProtest #PoliticalDebate #CulturalProtest #ControversialBill #MāoriInParliament #IndigenousVoices #PoliticalSuspension #NewZealandPolitics #ParliamentaryProtest #ConservativeGovernment #IndigenousRightsDebate #PublicLife #MāoriRepresentation #GovernmentAgenda #OppositionProtest #CulturalIdentity #PoliticalDiscipline #TePātiMāoriProtest #MāoriTensions Also Read New Zealand Lawmaker Confronts Deepfake Abuse With Bold AI Demonstration In Parliament :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-zealand-mp-stuns-parliament-with-ai-generated-nude-image-to-expose-deepfake-abuse-4172979.html?ref=DMDesc New Zealand Immigration Minister Slammed For Comparing Indian Emails To 'Spams': 'I Never Respond To Them' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/new-zealand-immigration-minister-slammed-for-comparing-indian-emails-to-spams-i-never-respond-to-4164093.html?ref=DMDesc 6.8-Magnitude Earthquake Jolts New Zealand’s Riverton Coast, No Tsunami Alert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/6-8-magnitude-earthquake-jolts-new-zealand-s-riverton-coast-no-tsunami-alert-4104235.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.125~
