In a US report, India has expressed strong objections to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir for writing Azad Kashmir. India has protested against the US over this. In the US State Department Report 'Country Report on Terrorism 2016', released on July 19, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir has been called Azad Kashmir, although it has also been mentioned in the report that the use of this area is used by terrorists to carry out terrorist activities in India.
According to the Foreign Ministry spokesman of India, after the release of this report, India has protested against the American administration. After India's opposition, US officials acknowledged that there is anomalies in the description of Jammu and Kashmir of US, but the US says there is no change in its policy regarding Jammu and Kashmir.
The US State Department spokesman told the news agency PTI, "Our policy on Kashmir has not changed. Both associate countries will determine the speed, scope and character of discussions related to Kashmir, but we support all the positive steps taken by India and Pakistan for the development of close relations."
Tell that this is the first time that the US has addressed the PoK as Azad Kashmir. The US administration has been using the term 'Pakistan-administered Kashmir' for this area.
However, it is a matter of satisfaction for India that in this report Jammu and Kashmir is said to be the state of India, whereas the US government first used the term 'India administered Kashmir' for this.
In this report, discussing Harkat-ul-Mujahideen has been written that this organization primarily runs its activities in the states of Jammu and Kashmir and Afghanistan.
Further in this report it has been written that Harkat-ul-Mujahideen operated from Azad Kashmir's Muzaffarabad and several other cities of Pakistan. Similarly, in this report about terrorist Hafiz Saeed, it was written that it is difficult to tell the actual number of members of this organization, but there are thousands of members of this organization in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan's Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Many cases of narcotics trafficking continue coming out from across the border. From time to time, the campaign is also run by police and security forces to prevent the smuggling of narcotics coming across the border. On Friday, the Baramulla police of Jammu and Kashmir caught a truck carrying 25 kg narcotics drugs coming to India.
According to the news agency ANI, the drugs were sent to India from Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, for the purpose of cross border trade, which the police seized. In this case, whether any smuggler has been arrested or not. No information was found in this regard yet. Along with this, the price of the drug substance has not yet been ascertained. The police is investigating this matter.
The Baramulla police launched a campaign against the prevention of drug trafficking on Saturday and seized 25 kg of Narcotics drugs being transported into the truck. Such cases have already appeared many times before.
Punjab is also facing the problem of cross border smuggling. In the past, the consignment of heroin from Pakistan was recovered by the Fazilka STF Jalandhar Range and the Commissioner Police during joint operation. Police team arrested 2 smugglers and recovered 1 kg heroin. The cost of the heroin was reckoned to be worth 5 crores in the international market. The arrest of smugglers has revealed the network of heroin trafficking at international level.
The news came a few months ago that in order to deliver drugs to India, Pakistani smugglers have discovered new ways that the smugglers will not be harmed if drugs are caught. Pakistani smugglers are using cross-border irrigation tools to bring drugs to India in Punjab. Simultaneously, adopting methods like throwing small packets of prohibited drug substances.
On behalf of the BSF officer it was told that it is difficult to smuggle large packets of heroin one kg or more. So smugglers are trying to bring drugs into 250 grams of small packets. They throw packets from across the border at night. Here the local smugglers take the packet. To prevent smuggling, BSF and Police are running joint operations.
The Global Times, a newspaper run by the Communist Party of China, once again has poisoned against India. In an editorial printed on Friday (July 21) in the newspaper Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj's statement given in the Indian Parliament on Doklam stalemate has been told as false.
The Global Times has described India as the daytime dream of the two countries to remove armies from Dokalm area. The editorial also threatens military action against India. In this editorial it has been written, "If India does not remove its troops, then China has the last option to fight it and endless the struggle of any diplomacy." China has the same political party (Communist Party) since 1949 It's in power only. The government has complete control over the media in China.
Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj had said during the monsoon session of Parliament that China wants to change the status quo in the triangular area of Doklam and it can have serious impact on India's security. China wants to make road in Doklam area for heavy military vehicles and tank movement. China tells its own Donglong area to Dokalm area.
The Chinese newspaper said, "The Indian Foreign Minister lied, the first thing is that India has infiltrated in that area, the whole world is surprised by the attitude of India and it is not getting any country's support." The Chinese newspaper has written that ".... the other thing is that India is far behind China in terms of military capability, and if this issue moves towards a military solution, then there is no doubt that India will defeat.
The Chinese newspaper has written that it is a change in the attitude of India to remove the army simultaneously. The Chinese newspaper has written, "India has started announcing Donglong (Doklam) as Triangular and is proposing to remove troops from both sides to find China's stand. It seems that India has started to realize its status."
In the editorial of Global Times, once again, among other places between India and China, have been warned about the 'struggle' to grow. The newspaper has said that "China's capability in carrying out military equipment and ammunition on the border is much more than India and Chinese soldiers can reach anywhere, and China will display their training and improvement on China-India border.
The newspaper has written that India should stop seeing Doklam's dream. The paper has written that China will never agree on the removal of the army from both side.
The Chinese newspaper has written that if the war between China and India will be fought then the US and Japan will not help it. The Chinese newspaper has written that the Chinese public is also a supporter of protecting one-inch of land at the cost of war against India.
The Chinese newspaper has written that even if there is a large number of Indian soldiers, but with the rapid transport capability of the Chinese army, any situation can be changed in a short period of time.
The Chinese newspaper has written that India had made a mistake in estimating China in 1962, which he had to pay.
A former Chinese diplomat, threatening India on the Doklam controversy on Wednesday, said that this dispute has been a month, now Indian troops will be given three options - go back, capture or China's attack.
This comment from a former diplomat of China further tightens the stance of Beijing, in which the Chinese government is pushing that unless India fulfills the pre-condition of returning, there is no place for diplomatic solution.
Former diplomat Liu Hefa, who previously became the Consul General in Mumbai, has now become a specialist in strategic affairs. Liu said in an interview to China Central Television, "When soldiers of a country cross the border and reach the outskirts of another country, they themselves become enemies of that country and one choose in three options they Liu further said, "They will go out voluntarily. Or capture the area. And if the border dispute increases, they will be killed. These are three possibilities. "Liu said that China is waiting for India's move.
One day earlier, China had challenged India and said that China is ready for war and it is not afraid to fight with India. India will face confrontation all over the disputed border.
There is no shortage of tension between China and India on the standoff in Doklam. China has taken a tough stand on this issue and it is warning India every day. China, Bhutan and India's border meet in Doklam. This place is strategically important for the three nations.
According to an article in China's official newspaper Global Times, the fast growing Hindu nationalism in India is increasing the threat of war between the two countries.
Yu Ning wrote in an article titled 'Hindu nationalism growing in India' in the Global Times, "India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi used Hindu nationalism as fuel in the elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given rise to nationalist sentiments in the country in the election. And if religious nationalism has increased more than the extent, then Modi can not do anything because he has failed to stop the violence against Muslims after coming to power in 2014. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has taken advantage of Hindu nationalism after coming to power."
Further in the article it said that nationalism is pushing India towards war on the border against China. While India is weak against China in the matter of strength, despite its strategists and leaders of New Delhi did not prevent India's China policy from going into the hands of nationalism. Although China has appealed to India to call back soldiers from the border many times, while New Delhi has continued its stimulus.
Significantly, India and China have been facing face-to-face for more than a month over the border dispute in Doklam. Meanwhile, there was news of the deployment of Chinese troops in Tibet and heavy weapons deployed, which India has finally rejected.
For the information, inform that there is a ruckus in the Monsoon Session of the Parliament regarding the China border dispute. Samajwadi Party leader and former Defense Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, while advising the government in the Lok Sabha, said that China has already prepared for war with India. He said that India should now start supporting Tibet's independence.
During the border dispute between India and China, the diplomatic giants have also increased. China has told the Beijing situation to foreign diplomats that its People Liberation Army (PLA) is patiently stationed in Doklam area.
China has told foreign diplomats that its army will not be patient till an unlimited time. China has been claiming on the Doklam area of Bhutan. China calls it Donglong.
India's border in Sikkim is joined with Tibet and Bhutan. China wants to build a high-powered road in Bhutanese territory, which will be able to reach up to 40 tonnes of military vehicles and tanks. From the point of view of India's security, this area is very sensitive. By the capture of China in this area, China's strategic position will be strengthened on the path connecting Northeast India to the rest of India.
Foreign diplomats present in China are concerned about the border dispute and some of them shared their concerns with Indian and Bhutanese diplomats. Last month, Indian soldiers in Doklam area had banned the road construction of the Chinese soldiers. Since then, there is a problem between the two countries. China is demanding to withdraw its troops from India.
China has claimed in front of foreign diplomats that it has concrete evidence that Doklam is its area. China said that Doklam has been working as a pastoral for the animals of Chinese border residents. China also showed the receipt given to Bhutanese grasshopper.
According to sources, the Chinese officials in a meeting in the closed room last week saw foreign diplomats as their parties on the border dispute. The Chinese government has also informed about this stalemate of the some countries involved in G-20 group. One diplomat of the five permanent member countries of the United Nations Security Council told the Indian Express, "Our Beijing-based ally was present in that dialogue. He was indicated that the Chinese would not wait for indefinitely. It is a matter of concern and we have given this information to Indian diplomats in Beijing and Bhutanese diplomats in New Delhi."
According to the diplomat, China has told foreign diplomats that this dispute is between China and Bhutan and India has 'jumped' into it. Diplomat said, "China says that Indian soldiers have entered the border and they have changed the status quo."
Although India has said in its statement to China on June 30 that India is very concerned about the current situation on the border and in this area will change the status quo with road construction which can have serious consequences for India's security.
China says that India will remove its troops without any condition and only then will the dialogue between the two countries be possible. At the same time, India has made it clear that in 2012 with China, it was agreed that there will be no decision after involving all concerned countries in the matter of border dispute between the two countries. The Indian External Affairs Ministry has clearly said that any unilateral decision regarding this trijunction is a breach of that agreement.
According to the Central Government sources, India wants to overcome the current impasse with diplomatic efforts. India's National Security Advisor Ajit Dobhal will be going to China on July 26-27 to attend the NSA meeting of BRICS countries. It is believed that Dobhal will benefit from this opportunity to better mutual understanding with Chinese NSA Yang Jichi.
There is a panic over the boundary dispute between India and China and the Doklam controversy. Both China and India are not ready to change their attitude. Meanwhile, a TV channel from Pakistan is spreading a big propaganda against India.
Pakistani TV channel Duniya News has claimed that 158 Indian soldiers have been killed in rocket attacks by the Chinese army. Apart from this, several other soldiers are being injured in Monday's attack.
The extent of this snowball of Pakistan TV channel has happened when it posted photos related to the attack on their website. While the Indian Army has termed these photographs as bogus.
Pakistan TV channel has claimed that a clash between India and China has started on Sikkim issue. After which China did rocket attacks on the Indian Front. In which 158 Indian soldiers have been killed. While dozens of other soldiers have been injured.
TV channel says that even earlier, there has been a clash between the two countries. TV channel says that the dispute was initiated by India. The action on which China fired rockets on the Indian Front.
Duniya news claims that two minute footage of this attack has been shown on China Central Television. it says that in the video it has been shown that Chinese soldiers attacked 'enemy situation' by using rocket launchers, machine guns and mortars.
According to the claim, India and China present their respective claims on sovereignty of two big and small areas, which has remained a disputed issue between the two countries for the past decades. 14,380 square miles of Aksai Chin area is disputed between the two countries since the end of British colonialism.
Explain that the Chinese army in Doklam tried to build roads, on which India had opposed and prevented the Chinese army from making roads. China has been claiming it in this area. At the same time, India has been supporting Bhutan's claim by treating it as part of Bhutan. China wants the Indian army to withdraw from the Doklam area, but India is not ready to retreat in this situation, but the Indian Army has deployed more forces.
Giving these pictures a bogus, the Indian army said that it was a picture of the accident. This incident happened during a training of the army in Arunachal. Photos of the event are several months old.
On Sikkim dispute, China has again threatened India and has said that there is no scope for dialogue on this issue anymore.
According to China, the only solution to the problem is the return of Indian soldiers from Sikkim. China has said in a cautious manner that if India does not call back its troops from the border then India can face embarrassment.
China's official news agency Xinhua said this in a statement on Saturday night, July 15. According to the report of the English website Hindustan Times, China has made it clear that there is no scope for negotiation now, and India has to call back its troops from Dokalm region. But China has also mentioned Ladakh and Kashmir in this controversy, in a great vicious manner. Together these two names have been added to Pakistan and China.
In a statement issued by Xinhua, it has been said that "India should not consider the current dispute as like the Ladakh conflict of 2013-14 or compare it, which is between China, Pakistan and India in southeastern Kashmir. There is a disputed area. Due to diplomatic efforts there, an easy solution for the conflict between the two countries came out, but this time it is a completely different matter."
Let know that China called Ladakh is a disputed region and Indicates a different one to reference to Kashmir.
It is the first time that China has made it clear through its official news agency that there is no room for dialogue between the two countries on the issue of Sikkim.
These statements issued by Xinhua are also considered to be the Chinese government and the Communist Party of China which controls power.
Xinhua has written in their statement, "India has deliberately ignored China's demand for the removal of army from Dokalm, though India will make this controversy even more serious by making the talks unheard of China, and this will make it more serious due to India, embarrassment may have to be raised."
Let us say that China wants to make road in Dokalm but this area belongs to Bhutan and China is occupying it. On Bhutan's call, India has opposed the Chinese efforts to make roads in this area and has deployed its troops there.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Tuesday (July 11) that the top members of the terrorist group Islamic State have confirmed the death of Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi, the head of the organization in front of him.
Monitoring Group director Rami Abdel Rahman said, "The top level commanders of the IS present in Dyer Ajjor province have confirmed the death of Amir Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State Group from the Observatory."
They said, "We got to know about it today, but it does not know when and how his death."
Dyer Ajjor province of East Syria is mostly in the possession of the IS, while the group is losing its control area in other parts of the country and neighboring Iraq.
Rehman said that Baghdadi was present in the eastern parts of Dayar Ajjor province in recent months, but it is not clear where his death has occurred. But in recent months rumors of Baghdadi's death have been continuing and the Russian army had said in mid-June that it has been validating whether IS chief killed in an air strike in Syria in May.
The Russian army said that on one of the hideouts of IS's stronghold Rakka, Sukhoi fighters attacked on May 28 for 10 minutes, where the commander of the group was planning to take his members out of the area. The US-led coalition then said that he could not confirm Baghdadi's death in the Russian attack. Baghdadi, Iraq-born 46-year-old has never been seen anywhere since 2014.
However, now with the official confirmation of his death, it will be a new setback for the terrorist group, who is also fighting with the US-led Kurdish and Arab fighters to occupy his Syrian stronghold Rakka.
