India is actively countering the China-Pakistan alliance that has obstructed the TRF’s global terror tag. The diplomatic dossier is backed by strong evidence linking TRF to previous attacks and terrorist activity…

India has formally notified the World Trade Organisation (WTO) of its intention to reserve the right to impose retaliatory tariffs on certain US products. This move comes in response to the United States’ decision to impose additional duties on Indian steel and aluminium exports.

These provisions permit retaliatory action when one member imposes safeguard measures without proper consultation. The notification, issued on May 12, does not immediately trigger countermeasures.

That massacre saw militants separate men from women before executing the men in cold blood, telling the survivors to deliver a chilling message: “Go, tell Modi.” Now, as images and reports…
