A large group of Muslims protested in Karnataka’s Tumkur and highlighted that the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, in which 26 people were killed, was an attempt at creating communal unrest in the country.

Following a meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Paatil announced a detailed plan to prevent Indian river water from flowing into Pakistan. The government is considering short, medium, and long-term strategies, including immediate desilting of rivers.

In the hours after the Pahalgam massacre, where 26 people were executed by Pakistan-backed terrorists, the world followed its usual script—India condemned, Pakistan denied, and the West euphemised. But this time, something changed. The sharpest response didn’t come from New Delhi or Washington—it came from ordinary Pakistanis, who didn’t defend the state but ridiculed it. On social media, they didn’t rage against India. They mocked their own power cuts, fuel shortages, and economic collapse. In a country where laughter is all that’s left, post-tragedy grief turned into post-collapse satire. The lights may flicker, but the punchlines never miss.
