Human lives aren't price tags to be settled after the fact. It's not compensation we need - it's accountability & responsibility. @TataCompanies should reflect on whether honoring the dead with cheques is enough, or if honoring life through safety would've been the better legacy.
While offering 1 crore as compensation for each life lost may appear generous, the real tragedy is that ₹250 crores could have been spent on preventive maintenance, safety upgrades, & stricter quality controls potentially saving all those lives. #planecrash#AhemdabadPlaneCrash

We bow our heads in heartfelt gratitude to those who laid down everything for our nation. "A soldier dies not when he is shot, but when he is forgotten." Let us never forget their courage, their families, and their dreams-left behind for the love of Bharat. 🇮🇳

India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action.
India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will continue to do so.
Repeat after me -
Pakistan is not Ukraine
Pakistan is not Palestine
Pakistan is not standing between the world and terrorism
Pakistan is the reason for terrorism
Our deepest respect to the brave #IndianArmy. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice inspire every Indian heart.
We all stand united in support and pray for your strength and safety.
Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
