Now look what Nashik Police saying-

'Her role hasnot emerged in any other FIR. She was associate n not HR. In our probe, no link has been found to the accused in any case registered across country.'

My question is why police hasnot clarified this earlier when the whole media is going after Nida Khan.

Police further says, 'Since some news channels reporting abt some accused linked to banned groups, we written to central agencies to probe'.

Police gonna probe because some news channels reporting alleged links of accused with banned groups. Okay.

As we focus on Iran and Lebanon, let's not forget what’s happening in the West Bank.

In one year, more than 36,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced and 240 were killed. There were over 1,700 attacks by Israeli settlers.

We must end U.S. military aid to Netanyahu.

[Pepe Escobar @RealPepeEscobar]

Just to kill Larijani at his daughter's house, the Epstein Syndicate bombed AN ENTIRE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD near Teheran.

At least one hundred CIVILIANS were murdered with him.

Murdered by barbarians who proud themselves of not reading anything - like neo-Caligula. Larijani wrote books on mathematics and Kantian philosophy.

Functionally illiterate Barbaria can only excel when it comes to killing sprees.

SIO Condoles the Assassination of Imam Ali Hosseini Khamenei; Expresses Solidarity with the People of Iran

A delegation of SIO Tg met the Deputy Consul Gen of Iran in Hyd to convey condolences and solidarity after the assassination of Imam Khamenei in recent US-Israel attacks.

[Stanly Johny @johnstanly]

India's #WestAsia policy, at least from the early 1990s, rested on three pillars--the Arab world, Iran and Israel. Even when India started building a closer and stronger partnership with #Israel, driven by intelligence, defence and tech cooperation, it maintained a balance between the pillars. The Arab world, especially the Persian Gulf kingdoms, are important for energy and as a key source of remittance. Millions of Indians are living and working in the region. India started cutting energy ties with Iran during Manmohan Singh's time--under pressure from the Americans. But Iran remains a key player in India's regional calculus--a gateway for Central Asia and a significant Eurasian partner. Later, a BRICS member. Israel is a key defence and tech partner.

After October 7, even though the PM declared solidarity with the Israelis, India was cautious not to disrupt the balance. The MEA reiterated India's support for the Palestine cause. The EAM, at least twice, publicly expressed India's displeasure with the way Israel fought the war in Gaza. India repeatedly voted in favour the Palestine cause and against Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories and Syria's Golan Heights at the UN. It also joined BRICS countries to directly condemn Israel-America's June war against Iran. When Israel bombed Qatar in September, the PM himself "condemned" the strike, without naming Israel, though.

But Modi's visit to Israel marks a clear shift. There is nothing wrong in the PM visiting a friendly country. But the timing is the key, which will attract a lot of regional and international attention. Israel's war killed at least 75,000 people in Gaza, a vast majority of them women and children. A UN commission concluded that Israel committed genocide, the gravest international crime, against Palestinians. Israel has bombed at least six countries in the region since October 7. Its Prime Minister is wanted by the ICC for war crimes. Tensions remain high in the region with a possible American-Israeli attack on Iran in the near future. Despite a U.S.-backed ceasefire, Israel continues to bomb Gaza, and has taken a series of steps initiating the annexation of the occupied West Bank, which has sparked regional and international outrage. In the midst of all this, the Indian Prime Minister is visiting Israel, embracing its leader, addressing its Parliament and declaring solidarity with the country. This shows India is moving away from the traditional balancing act and is tilting towards Tel Aviv.

I can understand the reasons behind the tilt. One is the vibrant defence and intel partnership, which has been under way since the 1990s. Two is the ideological orientation of the ruling party, which sees Zionist Israel as a natural partner (you can see that in the comments of this post). Three, and more important, regional developments. After Israel bombed Qatar (and the US did nothing), Saudi Arabia signed a strategic defence pact with Pakistan, giving Islamabad a greater space in West Asia. The Persian Gulf kingdoms are no longer under a common tent. There are serious divisions between the UAE and the Saudis. The Emiratis, one of India's I2U2 partners, maintains their close ties with Israel despite Gaza. As the gulf in the Gulf widens, the UAE also seeks to strengthen ties with India. MBZ was recently in Delhi. Saudi Arabia, which is not going to normalise ties with Israel any time soon (which also means that IMEC is not going to take off), is building close partnerships with Pakistan and Turkey, while the UAE is expanding ties with India and Israel. As the strategic picture of the region changes, India thinks the moment is favourable for it to upgrade its ties with Israel, which would also please Trump. These are the reasons. What we don't know is what the consequences will be. Only time will tell whether abandoning the traditional balance is a rewarding tactical shift or a strategic error. #ModiInIsrael

[Muhammad Faraz Ahmed @Mdfaraz_]

Right wing hate mongers have only anti Muslim rhetoric to support genocidal state, India never supported Palestinians for only being a Muslim/Arab country but for the shared history of anti colonial struggle.

Modi brings shame to India by visiting Israel.

[Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi @RuhullahMehdi]

No, not my greetings.
Give them my curses for their illegal occupation of Palestine and the genocide in Gaza.
