Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, May 12, 2025, Kolkata : In a strong address to the nation today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India’s strength, resilience, and commitment to eradicating terrorism. The Prime Minister began by saluting the nation’s armed forces, intelligence agencies, and scientists, commending them for their extraordinary efforts in safeguarding India’s security. He also acknowledged the unwavering courage and valor of the Indian soldiers in achieving the objectives of Operation Sindoor, dedicating their unparalleled bravery to every mother, sister, and daughter in the country.

Modi condemned the barbaric terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, describing it as a brutal and shocking act of terror. Innocent civilians, enjoying their holidays, were targeted and killed in front of their families and children, merely because of their faith. The Prime Minister emphasized that the attack was not just an act of cruelty, but an attempt to fracture India’s social harmony. He praised the unity shown by every Indian citizen, community, and political party, which demanded strong action against terrorism.

Reaffirming the government’s commitment to combating terrorism, Modi assured the nation that the armed forces were given full freedom to neutralize the terrorists responsible for the attack. He declared that terrorists now understand the consequences of harming the dignity of Indian women.

Operation Sindoor was presented as not only a military operation but a symbol of the emotions of millions of Indians. Modi reiterated that the Indian Armed Forces had executed precise strikes on terrorist hideouts and training centers in Pakistan on May 6-7, 2025, delivering a decisive blow to terrorism. He emphasized that such a bold move was unimaginable for the terrorists, but India’s unity and commitment to “Nation First” led to impactful results. The Prime Minister pointed out that Indian strikes had shattered both the infrastructure and morale of terrorist organizations, particularly targeting key locations in Pakistan such as Bahawalpur and Muridke, which had long been centers of global terrorism.

These sites had been linked to some of the world’s most devastating terror attacks, including the 9/11 attacks in the US, the London Tube bombings, and numerous terrorist incidents in India. Modi declared that since these terrorists had dared to attack the dignity of Indian women, India had taken decisive action to eliminate the heart of terrorism. As a result, over 100 dangerous terrorists were eliminated, including key figures who had long plotted against India.

The Prime Minister also addressed Pakistan’s reaction, noting that after India’s forceful strikes, Pakistan resorted to reckless aggression by targeting Indian schools, temples, military bases, and civilian homes. He emphasized that India’s advanced air defense systems had successfully neutralized Pakistani missiles and drones. The precision of India’s counter-strikes had left Pakistan with significant losses, leading Pakistan to seek de-escalation.

On May 10, 2025, after suffering considerable damage, Pakistan’s military reached out to India’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) and assured that it would cease all military aggression and terrorist activities against India. Modi confirmed that India had reviewed the situation and decided to temporarily suspend its counter-operations, but clarified that the suspension was not a conclusion. India would continue to monitor Pakistan’s actions and assess their compliance with their commitments.

The Prime Minister emphasized that India’s armed forces remain on high alert, ensuring national security. He stated that Operation Sindoor had set a new benchmark in India’s counter-terrorism policy and that it would serve as a key pillar of India’s future security strategy. He outlined three main principles of India’s security doctrine:

1. Decisive Retaliation: Any terrorist attack on India will be met with a firm and resolute response, targeting terror hubs at their roots.

2. No Tolerance for Nuclear Blackmail: India will not be intimidated by nuclear threats, and any safe havens operating under such pretexts will face precise strikes.

3. No Distinction Between Terrorists and Their Sponsors: India will no longer treat terrorist leaders and governments that shelter them as separate entities.

Modi pointed out that during Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s deep involvement in state-sponsored terrorism was exposed. Senior Pakistani military officials had openly attended the funerals of eliminated terrorists, a clear indication of Pakistan’s complicity.

The Prime Minister also reflected on India’s military capabilities, stating that the success of Operation Sindoor proved India’s superiority in both traditional and modern warfare. He highlighted the effectiveness of “Made in India” defense systems, which played a pivotal role in India’s military successes.

In a firm message to Pakistan, Modi warned that its continued support for terrorism would lead to its own downfall. He declared that Pakistan must dismantle its terror infrastructure if it seeks peace and survival. He further stated that terror and talks cannot coexist, terror and trade cannot run parallel, and blood and water cannot flow together.

Finally, addressing the global community, Modi reaffirmed India’s policy that any negotiations with Pakistan would be focused solely on terrorism and the issue of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). Reflecting on the teachings of Lord Buddha on Buddha Purnima, the Prime Minister stated that the path to peace must be guided by strength, and India would continue to stand strong in safeguarding its dignity and values.

Concluding his address, Prime Minister Modi once again saluted the valor of the Indian armed forces and expressed his deep respect for the courage and unity of the people of India.

May 8, 2025 Kalimpong News Leave a comment

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, May  8,  2025, Kolkata : 

 Defence Minister Rajnath Singh delivered a strong message on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an all-party meeting held on Thursday, reassuring the nation of India’s resolve in the face of rising tensions with Pakistan. The meeting, convened a day after the successful “Operation Sindoor,” provided detailed updates on the operation and discussed future actions.

Since Prime Minister Modi was unable to attend the meeting, Rajnath Singh read out his message to opposition leaders, emphasizing national unity in these challenging times. “In this difficult situation, every citizen of the country needs to be united,” Prime Minister Modi’s message stated.

During the meeting, Rajnath Singh outlined the success of “Operation Sindoor,” stating that the Indian Army had carried out a precise attack on Pakistani terrorist camps, resulting in the death of at least 100 terrorists. He made it clear that if Pakistan escalates tensions further, India would retaliate with even greater force. “If Pakistan attacks again, India will retaliate again,” Singh asserted, reaffirming the government’s commitment to defending national security.

The all-party meeting, which also included key opposition leaders, was called to provide transparency about the operation and to ensure a unified stance on national security matters. Singh further assured the opposition that India does not seek war but will take decisive action if provoked. The government sought the opposition’s support in this critical moment, and it was clear from the discussions that the opposition stands united with the Centre regarding the national interest.

However, the meeting did not go without some questions and concerns. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised the issue of Prime Minister Modi’s absence, while Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, called for the Parliament session to address the situation and urged national unity. Despite these concerns, the government did not provide a direct response to Gandhi’s proposal for a parliamentary session.

Trinamool Congress MP Sudip Banerjee, present at the meeting, also urged caution, advising the Centre to consider the broader regional implications, particularly concerning neighboring Bangladesh.

In a statement following the meeting, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju praised the opposition’s mature and responsible approach to the issue, highlighting the importance of unity in the face of national security challenges.

The all-party meeting concluded with a clear message: while there are differing opinions on some aspects, there is a strong consensus on standing together in support of Operation Sindoor and the broader goal of protecting India’s sovereignty.

Mamata’s Stance on Murshidabad Murders: Outsider Theory and Political Allegations Continue

May 6, 2025 Kalimpong News Leave a comment

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, May  6,  2025, Kolkata : 

 The tragic double murder of a father and son in Murshidabad has sparked intense political debate, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee doubling down on her controversial claim that outsiders were involved in the violence. Despite the police arresting four local residents in connection with the crime, Mamata has continued to suggest that miscreants from other states and possibly Bangladesh were responsible for the incident, which she describes as part of a pre-planned attack.

Speaking on Monday, Mamata reaffirmed her theory, accusing certain individuals of using religion as a tool to incite violence. She stated that “some people are spreading wrong information in the name of religion by bringing outsiders,” further fueling tensions. According to the Chief Minister, these external forces have been stirring up unrest in the region, which eventually led to the murder. Mamata further alleged that some religious leaders, who have been raising slogans and rallying political support, were behind the incitement. Her comments, made in a pointed attack, seemed to target the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calling them “domestic enemies” who exploit religious sentiment for political gain.

Mamata, who has maintained that she has credible information from Murshidabad, claimed that the true perpetrators of the violence will soon be revealed. She emphasized that Murshidabad has a historical significance as the former capital of Bengal, which she said made the incident even more alarming. “The truth will come out soon, and everyone will know who is responsible,” she asserted, adding that she was gathering more evidence to support her claims.

In a sharp response to the BJP, the Chief Minister also pointed out that incidents of violence in other states like Manipur, Rajasthan, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha have not received the same level of attention from central authorities. “Why is it that whenever something happens in Bengal, the Centre sends representatives? We must question this,” she said, accusing the BJP of applying a double standard when it comes to addressing violence in different parts of India.

Mamata’s remarks highlight a continuing theme of political and ideological conflict in the state, with the Chief Minister repeatedly accusing the BJP of trying to destabilize Bengal. She reiterated that the violence in Murshidabad was orchestrated, with false rumors being spread and external elements being used to incite tensions between communities.

The Murshidabad case remains under investigation, and while the police have made arrests, Mamata’s persistent claims of outsider involvement continue to fuel a political storm. It remains to be seen whether further evidence will emerge to corroborate her theory or if the focus will shift to the individuals already apprehended in connection with the crime. Regardless, Mamata’s unwavering stance has made the Murshidabad murders yet another flashpoint in the ongoing political battle between the West Bengal government and the Centre.

BSF Apprehends Pakistani Ranger Amid Escalating Indo-Pak Tensions

May 4, 2025 Kalimpong News Leave a comment

Baby Chakraborty | KalimNews  | 4 May 2025  |  New Delhi :  The Border Security Force (BSF) has apprehended a Pakistani Ranger who crossed into Indian territory along the international border in Rajasthan on Saturday. The incident comes at a time of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, following a series of cross-border violations and the recent detention of an Indian soldier.

According to official sources, the Pakistani Ranger, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, was taken into custody by the Rajasthan Frontier of the BSF. The arrest took place nearly two weeks after BSF Constable Purnam Kumar Sahu inadvertently crossed the international border while escorting farmers in Punjab’s Ferozepur sector. Constable Sahu has been held by Pakistan Rangers since April 23, despite repeated diplomatic efforts by India for his release.

Tensions have been further inflamed by ongoing ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC). On the intervening night of May 3 and 4, Pakistani Army posts opened unprovoked small arms fire for the tenth consecutive night. The affected sectors include Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor. The Indian Army responded swiftly, and no casualties were reported on the Indian side.

These provocations are unfolding in the shadow of the recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people, most of them tourists. The attack has further strained bilateral relations and drawn strong condemnation from Indian authorities.

Security analysts believe Pakistan’s repeated ceasefire violations and the detention of the Indian jawan may be part of a broader strategy to escalate tensions along the border. Meanwhile, India has reaffirmed its commitment to border security and has warned that any aggression will be met with a firm response.

As the situation unfolds, both countries remain on high alert, and diplomatic channels continue efforts to resolve the ongoing standoff.

India to Develop Indigenous Air Defense System to Counter Drone Threats Along China-Pak Border

May 4, 2025 Kalimpong News Leave a comment

Baby Chakraborty | KalimNews | May 4, 2025 | New Delhi : The Indian Ministry of Defense has taken a significant step to enhance the country’s defense preparedness by approving the development of a state-of-the-art air defense system under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. This new system aims to counter the increasing threat of aerial intrusions, particularly from drones, along the sensitive China-Pakistan border.

As part of the project, 48 launchers, 85 missiles, and various support equipment will be procured. According to officials, the most notable feature of the new weapon is its lightweight, man-portable design, allowing soldiers to carry and operate it from the shoulder with ease. The launcher is capable of targeting and neutralizing drones, helicopters, and low-flying aircraft swiftly and accurately, making it a versatile asset for modern combat scenarios.

Defense sources noted that man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, have so far been used only in a limited capacity within the Indian Army. However, with a sharp increase in aerial intrusions reported along the borders in recent months, particularly from drones, the need for a responsive, mobile, and weather-resistant air defense system has become critical. The introduction of this indigenous system is expected to fill that operational gap.

The development and deployment of this weapon will not only strengthen India’s border security but also represent a significant leap in the country’s indigenous defense manufacturing capabilities. The entire system will be developed using domestic technology, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers and contributing to the broader goal of defense self-sufficiency. In addition, the project is expected to generate employment and boost innovation in India’s defense sector.

Experts believe that this initiative signals a pivotal moment in India’s defense policy, aligning national security with the strategic vision of a self-reliant India. As the threat landscape evolves, the introduction of advanced, locally produced systems marks a crucial advancement in the country’s preparedness and sovereignty.
