DHAKA: Bangladesh on Thursday summoned acting Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pawan Badhe and protested the remarks made by Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, and stressed avoiding comments that might hurt bilateral ties.Director General (South Asia) Ishrat Jahan conveyed Dhaka’s position to the acting Indian high commissioner during a meeting at the ministry of foreign affairs (MoFA). Bangladesh described the remarks as disparaging to Bangladesh-India relations and expressed its displeasure to India, said a diplomatic source. The MoFA, however, did not issue any official statement.Sarma on April 26 said 20 foreign nationals were apprehended in Assam and pushed back to Bangladesh.“Rude people don’t understand soft language. We continuously remind ourselves of this prophetic line when we expel infiltrators from Assam who don’t leave themselves. For instance, these 20 illegal Bangladeshis who were PUSHED BACK last night,” Sarma said in a post on X, according to Indian media reports.Bangladesh stressed that public statements capable of straining ties between the two neighbours are counterproductive, and highlighted the importance of exercising restraint when addressing sensitive bilateral issues.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosChanakya Today Exit Poll: BJP Sweep In Bengal, DMK Ahead In TN, Assam Favours NDAUS Hands Back 657 Stolen Antiquities Worth Million To India, Exposes Global Smuggling NetworksNaval Anti-ship Missile : Navy, Drdo Demonstrate Salvo Launch That Can Sink ShipsECI Introduces New QR Code Photo ID Rule To Prevent Unauthorised Entry At Counting CentresCCTV Shows Car Plunging Into Gorge In Una, Himachal | Tyre Burst Suspected, 2 KilledDelhi HC Freezes Sunjay Kapur Assets, Restrains Priya Kapur In High-Stakes Inheritance DisputeLet’s Not Choose For People: Supreme Court Pulls Up Centre Over Minor Rape Survivor’s Pregnancy Case’Sonia Gandhi Takes Decisions’: Congress President Kharge On Karnataka CM Change BuzzHafiz Saeed’s Aides Hunted Down: Lashkar-e-Taiba Loses Commanders to Mysterious KillingsRecord Bengal Turnout at 92.9%, SIR Row and Voter Surge Complicate Poll Reading123PhotostoriesFrom opening up about his troubled childhood and growing up in a violent home to facing bullying at school; Sidharth Bhardwaj recalls his traumatic pastThis Indian street food is crowned Prayagraj’s official signature dish8 South Indian dishes among the Top 100 Pancakes in the WorldVirat Kohli: 7 life lessons to learn from the RCB cricketerTV serials with strong woman leads, ‘Naamkaran’, ‘Neema Denzongpa and others- check the list hereHow to make Rajasthani Gatte Ka Pulao for summer dinner5 most crowded national parks in the USA; what travellers should knowGokuldham society’s plot twists that no one saw coming: From Tapu going bald to Babu Ji going to jailAishwarya Rai Bachchan to Deepika Padukone: The real price of Bollywood’s most expensive sarees explainedFrom UK’s Prince Harry to Japan’s Princess Mako: Royals who gave up their titles and wealth for love — Shocking true stories123Hot PicksExit Poll Result 2026Bengal Election 2026Bengal ElectionPM ModiAjay Pal SharmaBengal Poll RecordHimanta Biswa SarmaTop TrendingPune Gas LeakBengaluru Wall CollapseVande Bharat expressDelhi NewsPawan KheraTripura Madhyamik Result 2026CBSE Class 12th ResultMumbai Police DeathBSE AP SSC Class 10th ResultIPL Orange Cap

NEW DELHI: Ladakh lieutenant governor Kavinder Gupta on Tuesday rejected China’s claim over the Shaksgam valley, asserting that the entire region of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir belongs to India and warning that no expansionist attempt would be tolerated.China on Monday reaffirmed its territorial claims over the Shaksgam valley amid India’s objections, maintaining that Chinese infrastructure projects in the area are “beyond reproach”. Shaksgam Valley Row Deepens As China Rejects India’s Claim And Defends CPEC Infra Project With Pak “The whole of (Pakistan-occupied) Kashmir is ours. We do not know what Pakistan has traded with China. China should understand that nothing will be achieved through its expansionist policy. India is capable. It is not the India of 1962, it is the India of 2026. Any such attempts will be foiled. The Ministry of External Affairs is taking cognisance of it,” Gupta told reporters here.He said China must realise that India today is far stronger than it was in the past and recalled that Beijing had earlier laid claims on parts of Arunachal Pradesh as well.Taking aim at Pakistan, the lieutenant governor alleged that the neighbouring country had failed its own people and was engaging in questionable dealings. “Pakistan is a state kept on sale. It has no concern for its sovereignty or its own people. Voices are being raised in Balochistan, Sindh and Karachi, and atrocities are being committed by the Pakistan Army there. Those areas are virtually being run by the Army,” Gupta said.Gupta also cautioned against making provocative statements on sensitive issues, noting that there is a clear parliamentary position on PoK. “Such statements should not be made which are provocative in nature. There is a Parliament resolution of 1994 which clearly states that the entire PoK belongs to India,” he said.Reacting to a recent statement by the Army chief that ‘Operation Sindoor’ is ongoing, Gupta said the armed forces enjoy complete national support. “The entire country stands with the Army. The Army chief has given a responsible statement and I welcome it,” he said.Responding to allegations by some regional leaders in Jammu and Kashmir about unrest in Ladakh, the lieutenant governor dismissed the claims, asserting that the region is progressing rapidly. “Ladakh is moving at a fast pace on the path of development. Ladakhis are united, fully nationalistic, and they fully support the government in all development work,” he said.Highlighting the increase in budgetary allocations, Gupta said Ladakh has seen a sharp rise in funding. “I want to convey to those leaders to mind their own business. This is not the Ladakh of the past, which was given a budget of Rs 150 crore. Today, Ladakh has a budget of around Rs 6,000 crore,” he added.India last Friday criticised China’s infrastructure development projects in the Shaksgam valley, saying it reserves the right to take necessary measures to safeguard its interests as the area is Indian territory. Pakistan illegally ceded 5,180 sq km of Indian territory in the Shaksgam valley to China in 1963 from areas illegally occupied by it.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

(Photo: PTI) NEW DELHI: Four government officials have been suspended and four building owners arrested in connection with the devastating fire that tore through a three-storey commercial building in Lucknow’s Aliganj area on Monday, killing 15 people and injuring several others.The Uttar Pradesh government said the suspensions were ordered on the directions of chief minister Yogi Adityanath. “On the directions of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, four persons have been suspended with immediate effect. They are: Gaurav Kumar (Executive Engineer Collection of Electricity Department), Kamlendra Kumar Singh, FSSO (Fire Department) Indira Nagar, Anil Kumar AE (LDA), and Pramod Kumar JE(LDA),” the state government said in a statement.Police said four people, all joint owners of the building, have been arrested in connection with the incident. An FIR has been registered at Aliganj police station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Uttar Pradesh Fire and Emergency Services Act against six named persons and others.Authorities are also probing allegations that the building, approved for residential use, was being illegally used for commercial purposes. Aliganj ACP Shashi Prakash Mishra said the allegations are being investigated and appropriate action will be taken.Students trapped on second floorThe fire broke out on Monday afternoon in the building located on Usha Mehta Marg in north Lucknow. The structure housed an animation centre on the second floor, while a pet shop and a clinic operated on the lower floors.Most of the victims were students attending classes at the animation centre when the blaze engulfed the building. Eyewitnesses said several people jumped from the structure in a desperate attempt to escape as flames completely gutted the premises.Preliminary findings suggest the fire may have originated in the building’s AC duct. Uttar Pradesh Urban Development and Energy Minister A K Sharma said the thick smoke caused suffocation and the absence of a proper exit route worsened the tragedy. He added that possible violations of building norms would be investigated.Rajnath visits site, promises accountabilityDefence minister Rajnath Singh visited the site soon after arriving in Lucknow and was briefed by Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak. Speaking to reporters, Singh said CM Yogi Adityanath had assured that the incident would be thoroughly investigated. He said responsibility would be fixed for those found accountable and all necessary action would be taken.Describing the tragedy as “very unfortunate”, Singh expressed condolences to the bereaved families. The defence minister later visited King George’s Medical University (KGMU) to enquire about the condition of the injured. According to a statement issued by the Lucknow city unit of the BJP, he instructed doctors to ensure the patients received the best possible treatment.Before reaching Lucknow, Rajnath Singh spoke to Adityanath over the phone and was briefed on the entire sequence of events.”Briefing the defence minister on the entire sequence of events, chief minister Adityanath said that strict action is being taken against the guilty. An SIT has been constituted to investigate the incident. The team is to submit its report to the government within seven days,” the Lucknow city unit of the BJP said in a statement.The chief minister also informed Singh that the state government has announced an ex gratia of Rs 5 lakh for the families of those killed and Rs 50,000 for seriously injured victims.
