Modi government at 11: Operation Sindoor a success, but defence budget needs to go up

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 11 June 2025
Operation Sindoor highlighted the deepening military cooperation between Pakistan and China, prompting India to consider increasing its defense budget to 2.5% of GDP. The focus should be on self-reliance in military R&D, unmanned systems, and long-range weaponry. Bolstering conventional and nuclear deterrence is crucial to counter China's strategic threat and Pakistan's proxy role.

Trump Spoke With PM Modi Before India-Pakistan Ceasefire? | Opposition Joins U.S. Narrative

U.S. President Trump has once again claimed he stopped a potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan, saying he spoke with Prime Minister Modi to prevent escalation. The Indian government strongly rejected Trump’s claim, asserting the ceasefire was a bilateral decision taken at the DGMO level. Strained U.S.-India ties, already impacted by Trump’s tariff policies, have further simmered as Modi pushed back against pressure tactics. Meanwhile, Indian opposition leaders echo Trump’s remarks to target Modi, reviving memories of the “Howdy Modi” event and questioning his global stance. #Trump #NarendraModi #IndiaUSRelations #IndiaPakistan #Ceasefire #TrumpClaims #IndiaRejects #ModiVsTrump #TradeTensions #Geopolitics #SouthAsia #TrumpSpeech #DGMO #NuclearWar #TrumpTariffs #ModiSpeech #GlobalPolitics #USIndia #OppositionAttack #Kharge #HowdyModi #ForeignPolicy #DiplomaticTies #TariffPressure #TrumpNews #ModiReply #BreakingNews #IndiaUS #TrumpVsModi #PoliticalDrama Also Read Trump’s 50% Tariff on Indian Exports: Who Are the Biggest Losers? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/trump-s-50-tariff-on-indian-exports-who-are-the-biggest-losers-7842429.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Tariff: How It Will Impact Tamil Nadu Textiles? :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/trump-tariff-how-it-will-impact-tamil-nadu-textile-7842373.html?ref=DMDesc Amid Tariff Tension, PM Modi Refused To Pick 4 Calls From US President Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-tariff-tension-pm-modi-refused-to-pick-4-calls-from-us-president-trump-7842041.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~
