PM Modi Rejects Trump’s ‘Broker’ Claim After G7 Call | “No Mediation by US' - India on Pak Ceasefire

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. #ModiTrump #IndiaPakistan #OperationSindoor #NoMediation #PahalgamAttack #Geopolitics #IndiaFirst #TrumpNews #ModiSpeech #BreakingNews #ForeignPolicy #SouthAsiaTensions #G7Summit #CeasefireClarified Also Read Donald Trump Asks People To 'Immediately Evacuate Tehran' Amid Israel-Iran Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-asks-people-to-immediately-evacuate-tehran-amid-israel-iran-tensions-4184437.html?ref=DMDesc French President Macron Whispers Something In Italian PM Meloni's Ear, Her Eye Rolling Reaction Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/french-president-macron-whispers-something-in-italian-pm-meloni-ear-her-eye-rolling-reaction-goes-4184371.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Much Bigger Than Ceasefire’: Trump Blasts Macron, Exits G7 Over Israel-Iran Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-g7-exit-amid-rising-tensions-between-israel-and-iran-4183695.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.346~

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

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. Is the ceasefire already collapsing? Has Pakistan’s military undermined its own civilian leadership? #IndiaPakistan #CeasefireViolation #VikramMisri #MEAStatement #PakistanIntrusion #IndiaRetaliates #BreakingNews #SouthAsiaCrisis #DGMOs #BorderTensions #IndianArmy #PakistanBetrays #PeaceDealCollapsed #Geopolitics #LiveUpdates ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~

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. 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. #VikramMisri #PakArmy #ISPR #IndiaPakistanRelations #DiplomaticMasterclass #IndianDemocracy #PakistaniInfoWar #GlobalPolitics #PoliticalDiplomacy #ForeignPolicy #India #Pakistan #RahulGandhi #SatyapalMalik #MEAPressConference #PakistanCriticism #DemocraticRights #MisriShutdown #IndiaVsPakistan #PakistaniCriticism #IndianLeadership #PoliticalClash #DiplomaticVictory #GlobalDiplomacy #IndianGovernment #PressBriefing #InformationWar #DemocracyMatters #IndiaPakistanTensions #MisriReply #IndianForeignPolicy #PakistanLackOfDemocracy #TrendingNow Also Read Remember 1971 Surrender!

Additional District Development Commissioner Raj Kumar Thapa Killed As Pak shelled Rajouri | MEA

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.

‘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~

India-Pak War BIG REVEAL: How China Used Pak to Test Weapons Against India Without Firing a Shot [Video]

India-Pak War BIG REVEAL: How China Used Pak to Test Weapons Against India Without Firing a Shot

India-Pak War BIG REVEAL: In May 2025, as India-Pakistan clashed, one country watched from the sidelines— and probably profited too : China. Beijing armed Pakistan with J-10C jets, PL-15 missiles, and HQ-9 defense systems — while feeding Islamabad the real-time intelligence. The result? A live battlefield to test Chinese weapons against India — without risking a single Chinese soldier. This is China’s "Borrowed Knife" doctrine in action — k!ll your enemy using someone else’s hands. #ChinaBorrowedKnife #ChinaPakistanAxis #ChinaIndiaTensions #IndiaPakistanConflict #ChinaProxyWar #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaChinaStandoff #ChinaPakistanAlliance #IndiaChinaBorder #PakistanChinaStrategy #IndiaPakistan2025 #ChinaVsIndia #ChinaPakistanRelations #IndiaBorderCrisis ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~

Saudi Arabia Ditch Trump For Putin | MBS Wants Russia In Middle East Not USA | Here's Why!!! [Video]

Saudi Arabia Ditch Trump For Putin | MBS Wants Russia In Middle East Not USA | Here's Why!!!

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. #SaudiArabia #Russia #Lavrov #FaisalBinFarhan #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Putin #RussiaSaudiTies #Diplomacy #Moscow #SaudiFM #RussiaNews #GulfPolitics #BRICS #SaudiRussiaRelations #MiddleEastPolicy #EnergyPolitics #GlobalSouth #ForeignAffairs #WorldNews ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘Only Dalai Lama Decides!’: India SLAMS China’s Bid To Pick Next Dalai Lama | XI RATTLED by Pushback [Video]

‘Only Dalai Lama Decides!’: India SLAMS China’s Bid To Pick Next Dalai Lama | XI RATTLED by Pushback

India has made its position unequivocally clear on the contentious issue of the 14th Dalai Lama's succession, pushing back firmly against China's aggressive claims. In a significant statement, India stressed that the right to choose the next Dalai Lama rests solely with the current Dalai Lama himself and the established traditions. This comes as a direct response to China's Foreign Ministry, which has repeatedly insisted that the selection process must conform to "Chinese laws and historical practice." The Dalai Lama has consistently rejected Beijing's interference. He has designated the Gaden Phodrang Trust, his formal office, as the ultimate authority in identifying and confirming his successor. Indian Union Minister Kiren Rijiju echoed this sentiment, stating that the succession must honor the age-old traditions and the personal wishes of the Dalai Lama. This high-stakes diplomatic standoff has reignited fears among Tibetans in exile, who have long warned that China may attempt to install a "fake" Dalai Lama to solidify its control over Tibet and undermine the Tibetan freedom movement. Living in exile in India since fleeing Chinese repression in 1959, the Dalai Lama remains a global icon of peace, despite Beijing's relentless campaign to label him a separatist. As early as 2011, he cautioned the world that Beijing would likely try to manipulate his reincarnation for political gain. With India now taking a public and resolute stand, the future of one of the world's most revered spiritual leaderships hangs in the balance. #DalaiLama #IndiaChina #Tibet #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #India #China #KirenRijiju #WorldNews #OneindiaNews Also Read India and the Dalai Lama: A Bond Rooted In Tradition, Tested by Geopolitics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-and-the-dalai-lama-a-bond-rooted-in-tradition-tested-by-geopolitics-7790117.html?ref=DMDesc The Battle for a Soul: Dalai Lama’s Rebirth Sparks Fresh Tensions with China; Beijing Reacts By Saying... :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/the-battle-for-a-soul-dalai-lama-s-rebirth-sparks-fresh-tensions-with-china-beijing-reacts-by-sayi-7789273.html?ref=DMDesc Dalai Lama Says Gaden Phodrang Trust Will Decide His Successor :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/dalai-lama-says-gaden-phodrang-trust-will-decide-his-successor-7788985.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~
