Footage captures protestors dragging a police officer down a hillside during violent clashes in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). More than 42 protesters have been killed and 250 injured in the ongoing protests in POJK.
Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

Was speaking to a former diplomat and he said that if we encompass the last two years of decisions, actions taken by the US administration under Trump wrt India we will see that they have acted like an adversary rather than a strategic partner. Something similar that I was told by a serving army and an intelligence official. And they are not wrong in their assessment.
This gets worse.
So not only did the US Navy fire two missiles and kill three Indian sailors they refused to rescue the 24 Indian crew despite saying they are on fire, the vessel is sinking and that they are an all Indian crew.
The Omanis rescued them.
Indo-US Strategic Partnership is over ! The bi-pattisan consensus is broken. Only those party of gravy train & self interest want this to drag on at cost of national interest !!
