Breaking: Pakistan Shuts Airspace, Indian Warships Move Towards Pakistan, Water War Begins

Pakistan has issued a maritime warning ahead of a missile test off the Karachi coast, intensifying tensions with India following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan-based terror groups and retaliated by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and shutting down key diplomatic and border ties. As Pakistan prepares surface-to-surface missile tests in the Arabian Sea, India has expelled Pakistani diplomats and ordered SAARC visa holders to leave. Both nations now scale down their embassies, raising fears of escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. #PakistanMissileTest #IndiaPakistanTensions #KarachiMissileLaunch #CrossBorderCrisis #KashmirAttack #IndusTreatySuspended #DiplomaticExpulsions #SAARC #ArabianSea #MilitaryStandoff #NuclearNeighbours #IndiaDefense #PakistanArmy #SurfaceToSurfaceMissiles #IndianHighCommission #WagahBorder #MissileWarning #ShehbazSharif #ModiGovt #IndiaPakistanNews #BreakingNews #GeoPolitics #MilitaryTensions #SouthAsia #MissileLaunchAlert #Terrorism #DefensePolicy #SecurityConcerns #NuclearThreat #IndoPakConflict Also Read Warming Arabian Sea Linked to Devastating Landslides in Kerala's Wayanad :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/arabian-sea-warming-triggers-wayanad-landslides-011-3893345.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Navy Assists Fishing Vessel With Pakistani Crew In Arabian Sea - Check Details :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-navy-assists-fishing-vessel-with-pakistani-crew-in-arabian-sea-check-details-3816111.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack on Portuguese Ship in Arabian Sea Raises Security Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/portuguese-flagged-ship-attacked-arabian-sea-houthi-rebel-threat-011-3813191.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.194~

Caste Census | How Congress Dodged Data And Betrayed Backwards| Oneindia

For over seven decades, the Congress Caste Census story has been one of deception. While the party projected itself as a voice of social justice, it quietly suppressed real empowerment—caste data. The Congress Caste Census issue resurfaced in Karnataka, where data was buried for years. From the UPA’s ₹5,000 crore SECC failure to internal contradictions and disrespect towards Dalit and tribal leaders, the truth about the Congress Caste Census exposes political doublespeak. Watch this report to understand why accurate caste enumeration was never a priority for the Congress party, and how BJP has changed the narrative. #CongressCasteCensus #CasteCensusTruth #UPAHypocrisy #BJPvsCongress #SocialJusticeDebate ~PR.282~HT.336~GR.124~
