In a dramatic overnight raid, US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and Washington officials made no secret of their primary objective: preventing America’s adversaries from exploiting Venezuela’s vast oil wealth.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro declared he would “take up arms” after US President Donald Trump threatened military action and accused him of drug trafficking. Petro defended Colombia’s anti-narcotics strategy, warning that excessive force could lead to civilian casualties and a surge in guerrilla activity. The exchange follows a US operation in Venezuela that captured President Maduro.

Organised by the Parshuram Kalyan Board, the tournament aimed to promote the Sanskrit language and revive cultural awareness among young players.
