PM Modi Announces Five Key Decisions After Pahalgam Attack


<p><strong>Pahalgam Attack:</strong> A major terrorist attack occurred in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday. The attack resulted in the death of 28 people. Following the Pahalgam incident, a CCS meeting was held at PM Modi&#8217;s residence. After this meeting, the Ministry of External Affairs held a press conference. The Ministry of External Affairs stated that India is withdrawing from the Indus Waters Treaty and the Pakistan High Commission in India is being closed. All Pakistanis present in India have been asked to leave the country within the next 48 hours.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Information Provided About the Attack</h2>



<p>Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, in a press conference, stated that a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) was held under the chairmanship of PM Modi. The CCS was briefed in detail about the terrorist attack that took place in Pahalgam on Tuesday. The CCS strongly condemned the attack and expressed its deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wished for the speedy recovery of the injured.</p>



<p>Understanding the gravity of this terrorist attack, the CCS took the following decisions:</p>



<p>1. The 1960 Indus Waters Treaty will be suspended with immediate effect until Pakistan reliably and irrevocably abandons its support for cross-border terrorism.</p>



<p>2. The Integrated Check Post Attari will be closed with immediate effect. Those who have crossed the border with valid approvals can return via that route before May 1, 2025.</p>



<p>3. Pakistani citizens will not be permitted to travel to India under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES) visa. Any SVES visas issued to Pakistani citizens in the past will be considered cancelled. Any Pakistani citizen present in India under an SVES visa has 48 hours to leave the country.</p>



<p>4. The Defence/Military, Naval and Air Advisors in the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi are declared Persona Non Grata. They have one week to leave India. India will be withdrawing its own Defence/Navy/Air Advisors from the High Commission in Islamabad. These positions in the respective High Commissions will be considered abolished. Five support staff of the service advisors from both High Commissions will also be withdrawn.</p>



<p>5. The total number of High Commission staff will be reduced from the current 55 to 30, to be achieved through further reductions by May 1, 2025.</p>

Pahalgam Attack: &#39;They asked the religion, then opened fire&#39; – Togadia calls it direct assault on Hindus


<p><strong>Pahalgam Terrorist Attack:</strong> Outrage has swept across India following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Amidst this, Dr. Praveen Togadia, founder and president of the International Hindu Council, has made a significant statement, urging Hindus across the nation to boycott tourism in Kashmir.</p>



<p>The terrorist attack in the Besran area of Pahalgam on Tuesday afternoon has claimed the lives of 27 people, including two foreigners and two locals. This is the largest attack in the Kashmir Valley since the Pulwama attack of 2019.</p>



<p>In an exclusive interview with Patrika.com, Dr. Praveen Togadia stated that tourists were killed in Pahalgam after being asked about their religion. He asserted that this is a direct attack on Hindus in India. He urged Hindus to cease tourism in Kashmir and instead visit places like Mount Abu, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kodaikanal, Darjeeling, Assam, Mahabaleshwar, and Goa. Togadia appealed for a boycott of Kashmir tourism by Hindus.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Condolences over the Terrorist Attack</h2>



<p>Expressing grief over the attack, Dr. Praveen Togadia described the terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, as heartbreaking. He condemned the brutal and inhumane act of the terrorists and offered condolences to the families who lost loved ones. He also prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Attack on Tourists Visiting Jammu and Kashmir</h2>



<p>The attack occurred at a time when people from various parts of the country were visiting Jammu and Kashmir for tourism. After years of battling terrorism, Kashmir has witnessed a significant increase in tourist numbers. With the Amarnath Yatra scheduled to commence on July 3rd, this attack raises serious questions about the safety of the general public. The route to the Amarnath cave passes through Pahalgam.</p>

RiPant&#39;s Disappointment After Delhi&#39;s Second IPL Loss


<p><strong>LSG vs DC Highlights:</strong> The 40th match of IPL 2025 was played on Tuesday, 22 April, at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals. Delhi Capitals registered a resounding 8-wicket victory in this match. This is DC&#8217;s second win against LSG in the league stage this season. Earlier, Delhi had secured a narrow one-wicket victory. LSG captain Rishabh Pant looked extremely disappointed after the loss. Following the defeat, he stated that the toss plays a significant role in Lucknow, but as a team, we are not looking for excuses.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">We were 20 runs short &#8211; Pant</h2>



<p>Rishabh Pant said after the match that we knew we were 20 runs short. Whoever bowls first here gets significant assistance from the wicket. It always happens in Lucknow; the wicket improves in the second innings, giving batsmen a better opportunity to bat. That&#8217;s how the game goes, and you can&#8217;t complain. As a team, we are not looking for excuses.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Also provided an update on Mayank Yadav&#8217;s return</h2>



<p>Giving an update on Mayank Yadav&#8217;s return, he said that we are just trying to find ways to bring him in at the start of the season because half the season is already over. He has just come from the National Cricket Academy; we are just trying to get him fit. We sent Samad to take advantage of such a wicket. Then Miller came, and we really stayed put on the wicket.</p>

We just have to play the next match afresh.</p>

Sunny&#39;s &#39;Jaat&#39; Smashes &#39;Kesari Chapter 2&#39; in Tuesday Showdown


<p><strong>Jaat Vs Kesari Chapter 2 BO Collection:</strong> Sunny Deol&#8217;s film &#8216;Jaat&#8217; has been released for 13 days at the box office. The film is slowly but surely moving towards its goal. Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar&#8217;s film &#8216;Kesari 2&#8217; has been released for 5 days, and the film&#8217;s collection is declining. The film is struggling to attract audiences. &#8216;Jaat&#8217; is likely to soon enter the 100 crore club. In contrast, Akshay Kumar&#8217;s &#8216;Kesari Chapter 2&#8217; has not even earned 50 crore in 5 days. On Monday, &#8216;Jaat&#8217; also outperformed &#8216;Kesari 2&#8217;, and Tuesday&#8217;s figures are also out. Let&#8217;s find out who became king at the box office on Tuesday…</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jaat Box Office Collection Day 13</h2>



<p>Sunny Deol&#8217;s ‘Jaat’ may not be earning as much as his ‘Gadar 2’, but it is still creating a storm at the box office. The film, made on a budget of 100 crore, had a very disappointing opening, but it made up for it over the weekend, increasing its collection. The figures for the 13th day of the film, i.e., April 22nd, are out. According to <strong>Sacnilk</strong>, the film ‘Jaat’ collected ₹2 crore on Tuesday. The film&#8217;s total collection is now ₹78.25 crore. The film has once again left ‘Kesari 2’ behind.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kesari Chapter 2 Box Office Collection Day 5</h2>



<p>Akshay Kumar&#8217;s dominance seems to be ending. Makers expected ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ to create a storm at the box office, but that didn&#8217;t happen. &#8216;Jaat&#8217; is consistently leaving &#8216;Kesari 2&#8217; behind. ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ collected only ₹4.75 crore on its 5th day of release, Tuesday, April 22nd. The film&#8217;s total earnings are now ₹38.75 crore. Meanwhile, &#8216;Jaat&#8217; had done a business of ₹7.25 crore on its fifth day. Because of this, it is being said that &#8216;Jaat&#8217; is consistently outperforming &#8216;Kesari 2&#8217;.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jaat In 100 Crore Club Entry Soon</h2>



<p>Talking about the collections of ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ and ‘Jaat’, the superstar currently reigning at the box office is not Akshay Kumar but Sunny Deol. ‘Kesari 2’ is receiving love, but in terms of earnings, this film has lagged behind. Well, they say time doesn&#8217;t take long to change, and in the coming time, this film by Akshay Kumar may pick up in terms of box office collection, but until then, ‘Jaat’ has created a storm in theatres. The film may soon join the 100 crore club.</p>
