@adarsh_938@ThetaOwner From Karwar to Mangaluru, the coast is a linguistically diverse region where Konkani, Tulu, Nawayathi and Beary are among the major native languages. Kannada is also spoken, along with Dakhni, Marathi and other languages—making Coastal Karnataka a rich linguistic mosaic.
@cgvenky@rehanudupi Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashto is the language of Pakistanis. Hardly 10% of Pakistani speak urdu as their mother tongue. Almost all of the urdu speakers in Pakistan migrated from India. Urdu was born in india and is one of the official language of India .
Thanks for your concern
Let the facts be stated clearly: It was the Karnataka Government that busted this fake drug racket, one of the biggest crackdowns of its kind in the entire country.
On August 18, our Health & Family Welfare Department (@DHFWKA)and the Karnataka Food Safety and Drug Administration raided a farmhouse near the Bidadi Toll Gate and seized suspected fake and expired medicines worth nearly ₹5 crore.
Our preliminary investigation has revealed a deeply concerning modus operandi with interstate ramifications. This network was procuring cheap bulk drugs from manufacturing hubs in Telangana and Himachal Pradesh, refilling them into new vials at the Bidadi facility, and relabelling them as premium imported brands of multinational companies, including Pfizer counterfeit drugs meant for patients and ICU wards.
We did not wait a single day. On August 19, After discussion with Hon‘ble CM @DKShivakumar & Home minister @PriyankKharge constituted a six-member SIT headed by a senior IPS officer to lead a major inter-state investigation, with officers of the Food Safety & Drug Administration and Commercial Taxes Departments on the team.
Action taken so far:
🔹The full list of spurious and counterfeit drugs has been communicated to the Union Government and all State Governments.
🔹 Every hospital and nursing home in Karnataka has been directed not to use the seized medicines.
🔹On 19th August, I have written in detail to Union Health Minister Shri @JPNadda seeking the support of CDSCO and central regulatory agencies to map this network's supply chain and stop nationwide distribution.
🔹 The SIT and Drugs Control Department raided Krupa Healthcare near Minerva Circle, Bengaluru & its owner has been arrested along with seizure of suspected counterfeit medicines.
The SIT is now investigating the suspected supply of counterfeit medicines and ICU injections to hospitals and clinics in Bengaluru. The investigation is underway, and I will place the complete findings before the public once it concludes.
We will track down every link in their network, dismantle it brick by brick and ensure every person responsible faces the harshest punishment under law. There will be no mercy for anyone who profits from patient's desperation.
Karnataka Government will Safeguard Its Patients. That is not just a promise. It is also warning to every counterfeiter in this country.

I have just spoken with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
I expressed France’s full solidarity in the face of the indiscriminate strikes carried out by Israel in Lebanon today, which resulted in a very high number of civilian casualties. We condemn these strikes in the strongest possible terms.
They pose a direct threat to the sustainability of the ceasefire that has just been reached. Lebanon must be fully covered by it.
I reiterated the need to preserve Lebanon’s territorial integrity and France’s determination to support the efforts of the Lebanese authorities to uphold the country’s sovereignty and implement the Hezbollah disarmament plan.
Statement from Scholars of the Ummah Regarding the Ongoing War in the Gulf Region
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.
To proceed:
In light of the dangerous escalation and severe tension currently witnessed in the region, which has reached the level of the bombardment of the capitals of regional states, and in fulfilment of the covenant that Allah has taken from the scholars to clarify the truth, we — the scholars, callers to Islam, and workers for the religion from among the sons of this Ummah — declare the following:
First: The reality of this war and its objectives
America and its Zionist allies have no motive for this war except injustice.
Iran has not wronged them nor attacked them; rather, what they are doing is oppression and aggression, which they have repeatedly committed before when they invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, and other lands — actions that constitute injustice and tyranny forbidden by all divine laws.
This war is, in essence, a Crusader-Zionist war whose ultimate consequences target Islam in its very heart, and the Muslim Ummah at its core — where the Islamic sanctities, the resources of the Ummah, its wealth, its demographic weight, and its historical and civilizational depth are located.
This war is not merely a limited conflict arising from a temporary political disagreement between Iran on one side and America and the occupying state on the other.
Rather, it is one link in a chain of wars, part of a long history of conflict, not an isolated event nor a separate incident.
Second: The divine wisdom behind such events regardless of any interpretation of what is taking place, any analysis of what is occurring, or any reading of current developments, the believer affirms that divine wisdom lies behind every event and every affair.
Perhaps Allah, through these events, is preparing great matters and praiseworthy outcomes, if the Muslims deal with them properly and fulfill their duty toward them: “Perhaps you dislike something while it is good for you.”
However, the believer’s awareness of divine decree, the unseen dimension, and the wisdom of Allah behind all affairs does not contradict fulfilling the religious duty, which requires understanding events, being aware of realities, and acting upon what is obligatory in light of them.
Third: Condemnation and rejection of the aggression
What America and its ally, the Zionist entity, have carried out in the form of bombing cities, sites, and military and civilian targets — beginning in Iran, and we do not know where it will end — is one of the clearest forms of aggression and tyranny that characterize their policy toward Islam and the Muslims.
It is a policy that casts aside all heavenly laws, earthly values, human ethics, international laws, and human conventions which they claim to uphold and speak about.
The least that is required in this situation is to condemn this aggression and reject this crime.
At the same time that we recognize the nature of the Iranian regime’s project and what it has committed in Sunni Muslim lands, we also see that targeting Iran by the Crusader-Zionist alliance is an external attack against a Muslim country whose sanctity and importance must be respected, regardless of the system that rules it.
Just as we reject and condemn the Crusader-Zionist aggression against Iran, we also strongly reject the targeting of the Arab Gulf states by Iran.
Had Iran directed its strikes toward the depth of the occupying entity, that would have been a legitimate response to aggression and a relief for the hearts of the believers.
America deliberately places military bases in the Gulf states in order to provoke Iran into striking those bases, so that those states will respond to Iran, igniting war among the countries of the region in a way that serves the interests of the enemies.
I want to be very clear - the door to diplomacy remains open. Talks in Geneva made genuine progress towards an unprecedented agreement between Iran and the United States and although the hope was to avoid war, war should not mean that the hope of peace is extinguished. I still believe in the power of diplomacy to resolve this conflict. The sooner talks are resumed the better it is for everyone.
Had a telecon with Iranian FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi this evening.
Shared India’s deep concern at the recent developments in Iran and the region. @araghchi
I am dismayed. Active and serious negotiations have yet again been undermined. Neither the interests of the United States nor the cause of global peace are well served by this. And I pray for the innocents who will suffer. I urge the United States not to get sucked in further. This is not your war.
#بيـان | تعرب وزارة الخارجية عن أسف سلطنة عُمان الشديد للعمليات العسكرية التي تشنها إسرائيل والولايات المتحدة الأمريكية ضد الجمهورية الإسلامية الإيرانية، محذرة من خطر توسع الصراع إلى ما لا يحمد عقباه في المنطقة. إن سلطنة عُمان تعتبر هذا العمل عملا يتنافى مع قواعد القانون الدولي ومبدأ حل القضايا بالوسائل السلمية لا بالوسائل العدائية وسفك الدماء وتدعو جميع الأطراف إلى تعليق الأعمال العسكرية فوراً، وتحث مجلس الأمن التابع للأمم المتحدة على عقد اجتماع عاجل لفرض وقف إطلاق النار واتخاذ المجتمع الدولي موقف واضح يدعم القانون الدولي. كما تؤكد سلطنة عُمان حق الدول في الدفاع عن النفس وفق القانون الدولي، بينما تدعو في نفس الوقت إلى ضبط النفس والالتزام بالحلول الدبلوماسية.
I convey my warm congratulations to Mr. Tarique Rahman on leading BNP to a decisive victory in the Parliamentary elections in Bangladesh.

India will continue to stand in support of a democratic, progressive and inclusive Bangladesh.
I look forward to working with you to strengthen our multifaceted relations and advance our common development goals.

VIDEO | Dhaka: On the condition of minorities in Bangladesh, Shafiqur Rahman, head of the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party, said, “Regardless of their religion, they are all Bangladeshi citizens. There are no second-class citizens in my country. India is our nearest neighbor, and it will remain a priority. I do not consider anyone a minority. We are all Bangladeshis, and everyone is a first-class citizen. We do not endorse divisions based on minority or majority.”
