How Pakistan used blackmail to pressure the US on India, leading to the creation of the killer Washington missile
United States and Pakistan have escalated recently following revelations that Pakistan is developing long-range nuclear missiles capable of reaching major US locations. This includes efforts to build intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), a move that has raised alarms in Washington. US Deputy National Security Advisor Jon Finer disclosed that Pakistan had falsely presented its space programme as a cover for its missile development, a strategy that was eventually uncovered by the US. In response, Washington imposed strict sanctions on companies linked to Pakistan's missile programme.

Former Pakistan players glad as deadlock over Champions Trophy ends
ICC reached a breakthrough in the Champions Trophy impasse with India playing all its matches of the mega event at a neutral venue instead of host country under a reciprocal arrangement. In return, Pakistan will also play all its games in ICC events hosted by India at a neutral venue until the ongoing cycle ends in 2027. The deadlock over the hosting of next year's Champions Trophy finally ended on Thursday. «I think the PCB took the sensible approach and instead of doing something rash and facing isolation in the ICC and among other cricket nations, it opted for a solution where I think the PCB has gained more than the BCCI,» said the legendary Javed Miandad.

Pak junior hockey team will need govt. clearance before applying for India visa: PHF
Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has been told to secure government clearance before confirming participation in the FIH Junior World Cup scheduled in India at the end of next year.

Those disregarding Constitution, Tricolour lecturing us: Kharge
Mallikarjun Kharge while participating in the Constitution debate, attacked the ruling BJP for promoting "hate politics". Kharge also responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's «jumla» charge at the Congress and said that it's his government which was fooling people with false promises. Arguing against the BJP's charges, Kharge said that it was under the Indira Gandhi government in 1971 that the Indian forces divided Pakistan into two parts and liberated Bangladesh. He also urged the Centre to ensure the safeguarding of Hindu minorities in the neighbouring country. He said that BJP leaders keep abusing Jawaharlal Nehru as well as Mahatma Gandhi and then go on to give lectures on probity in public life. «Merely pointing fingers at each other won't help. The Jan Sangh had once aimed to structure the Constitution based on the laws of Manusmriti. This was the intent of the RSS. Those who despise the tricolour, the Ashoka Chakra and the Constitution are lecturing us. On the day the Constitution was implemented, these people burnt the effigies of Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru at Ramlila Maidan. They insult the Nehru-Gandhi family without shame,» he said.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party's frustration grows as interim government delays polls
BNP) that played a key role in overthrowing PM Sheikh Hasina is now frustrated over the delay by the Md Yunus-led interim government in organising elections and has taken potshots at the student leaders and advisers to the regime. The party feels the interim regime has hijacked the political process in Bangladesh and denied the party a chance to return to power. BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir this week indirectly chided the students by mentioning that student leaders alone were not powerful enough to bring down the government. He also pulled up one of the advisers to the government for his comments on political parties in Bangladesh and demanded that such a statement be withdrawn.
