Cyril Ramaphosa, looking to persuade President Donald Trump to stop floating the “white genocide” conspiracy theory, walked into a trap.

Prime Minister Modi, addressing a rally in Rajasthan, asserted India’s firm stance on national security and counterterrorism, highlighting the recent Operation Sindoor where armed forces destroyed terrorist bases within 22 minutes. He ruled out dialogue and trade with Pakistan, focusing solely on reclaiming Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Modi warned against continued terror exports, threatening to block water flow and dismissing nuclear threats.

External affairs minister S Jaishankar refuted Donald Trump’s claim of brokering peace between India and Pakistan. Jaishankar clarified that the cessation of hostilities occurred through direct communication after Pakistan signaled its readiness to stop firing on May 10. This followed India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ targeting terror sites in response to the Pahalgam attack.
