PM praise for RSS in I-Day speech troubling, regrettable, says oppn

IndiaTimes Friday, 15 August 2025 ()
Congress criticized PM Modi's Independence Day speech, particularly his mention of the RSS, deeming it a violation of secular principles and an attempt to appease the organization. Opposition parties, including CPM and TMC, also condemned the speech, with TMC accusing Modi of targeting "infiltrators." Sena (UBT) remarked on Modi's endorsement of 'swadeshi', likening it to Congress's historical stance.

'Come To Kyiv': Zelensky TORCHES Putin’s Moscow Invite, Won’t Visit Russia Amid Attacks On Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has bluntly rejected Vladimir Putin’s invitation to Moscow for peace talks, calling Russia’s capital a “terrorist” city. Speaking to ABC News, Zelensky said he could not travel while Ukraine remained under relentless missile and drone attacks. Putin claimed security would be guaranteed, but Zelensky insisted discussions must happen in Kyiv. While Trump has attempted to broker talks between both leaders, and Putin signaled openness to direct dialogue, the Kremlin maintains the timing is “not ready.” Hopes for peace remain distant amid ongoing war. #ZelenskyVsPutin #UkraineRussiaWar #KyivNotMoscow #ZelenskyRejectsPutin #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineTensions #PeaceTalksStalemate #ZelenskyMessage #PutinInvite #UkraineWarUpdate #RussiaUkraineNews #BreakingNews #UkraineFrontlines #ZelenskySpeech #PutinVsZelensky #TrumpPeacePlan #UkraineMissileAttacks #DroneWarUkraine #UkraineCrisis #UkrainePeaceTalks #MoscowInvitation #UkraineWarBreaking #RussiaUkrainePeace #KyivUnderFire #ZelenskyRefuses #PutinSecurityGuarantee #UkraineWar2025 #UkraineResistance #NoTalksInMoscow #KyivStrong Also Read Modi–Putin Bond On Display With Shared Car Ride After SCO Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/modi-putin-bond-on-display-with-shared-car-ride-after-sco-summit-7847359.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, China Oppose 'Discriminatory Sanctions' Against BRICS Countries: Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-china-oppose-discriminatory-sanctions-against-brics-countries-putin-7846217.html?ref=DMDesc Melania Trump Urges Vladimir Putin to Consider Children in Ukraine Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/melania-trump-letter-to-putin-children-peace-ukraine-011-7832049.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

Trump Renames Pentagon as ‘Department of War’ — Declares America Must Return to Offense, Not Defense

Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order renaming the Pentagon’s Department of Defense back to its historic title — the Department of War. Calling it a return to America’s “warrior ethos,” Trump argues that the U.S. secured victories in World War I and World War II under the War Department, but lost its offensive edge after the switch to Defense. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, now to be called Secretary of War, backs the shift as a cultural and strategic reset for the military. But will Congress allow this move to stand? Or is Trump rewriting America’s military legacy on his own? #Trump #DepartmentOfWar #Pentagon #USMilitary #WarriorEthos #PeteHegseth #WhiteHouse #ExecutiveOrder #WorldWarHistory #DefenseToWar ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~GR.122~
