30+ artists including me were summoned by authorities for being on Latent.
The whole comedy fraternity took a hit because of how stupid youāre. Shows were canceled, Venues pulled out, Judgements made, the pathetic shadow of your stupidity still continues to make lives of funny comedians difficult. You didnāt even care to understand that side.
Stop pretending to be the nice guy youāre not. Take your chequeās,
lower your gaze & be very ashamed.
Youāre a contraceptive for creativity,
stop milking this & go back to what you do best which is being a hurdle for upward social change while FraudCasting & clout chasingā¦
War is always a testānot just of military hardware, but of actual combat effectiveness. In response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Kashmir, India launched Operation Sindoor, striking nine terrorist infrastructure targets in Pakistan. The operation didnāt just send a strategic messageāit revealed a tactical truth: Indiaās domestically produced weapons worked. Chinaās did not.
Indiaās growing defense self-reliance, driven by the āMake in Indiaā initiative, has led to a major leap in indigenous productionāfrom 32% of the Armyās ammunition needs met domestically in 2014 to 88% in 2024. From missiles like BrahMos and Pinaka to radars and artillery systems, Indian-made equipment proved itself in live combat. Thatās not just a national achievementāitās a model of military readiness for any nation facing modern threats.
Pakistan, meanwhile, continues to rely heavily on Chinese-made systems like the HQ-9/P, LY-80, and FM-90āsystems that repeatedly fail to stop or detect precision strikes. In a real fight, performance matters more than procurement deals.
LOL, I just spoke to Sqn Ldr Shivangi Singh, the woman IAF pilot these clowns at Al Jazeera are claiming has been captured by Pakistan. Sheās at her base and on duty.
The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!
BREAKING: Beijing summons Pak Ambassador Moin Haq to explain why, despite its dire warnings, Pakistan continues to deploy J17 fighters, PL15 missiles and HQ9 radars, leading to mass cancellations of their purchase orders by African nations that had already signed MoUs with China.
