			<title>MK Stalin&#8217;s DMK and Rahul Gandhi&#8217;s Congress had an acrimonious split after Tamil Nadu assembly polls NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi on Friday thanked MK Stalin and Kanimozhi for their birthday wishes, with their social media exchange coming days after Congress and the DMK ended their alliance following the Tamil Nadu assembly election results.Also Read | DMK attacks Rahul Gandhi for ‘dishonesty,’ ‘immaturity’ that harmed INDIA blocThanking Stalin, the Congress MP, who turned 56, said they would continue to fight together for the Constitution until victory is achieved.“Thank you, Thiru MK Stalin, for your warm wishes. Our shared resolve to defend the idea of India, our Constitution, and federalism will continue to guide us — this is the fight for the very soul of our democracy, and we will wage it together, until we win,” Rahul Gandhi posted on X in response to Stalin’s birthday message.“Thank you, Kanimozhi ji, for your thoughtful wishes,” he wrote in response to Kanimozhi, DMK MP and Stalin&#8217;s sister.Congress and DMK ended their alliance after the Congress extended support to actor-politician Vijay, whose two-year-old Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the single-largest party but fell short of a majority.The backing of Congress’s five legislators played a key role in helping TVK form the government. In return, Congress secured two ministerial berths in the Vijay-led government, along with a Rajya Sabha seat.Rahul Gandhi also attended Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony in Chennai.DMK accused Congress of betrayal and boycotted the Congress-led INDIA bloc meeting in Delhi on June 8. It was the first meeting of the national opposition alliance since the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>Representative image NEW DELHI: The government on Friday highlighted what it described as a major milestone in India&#8217;s fight against Left-Wing Extremism (LWE), stating that the country became effectively free from Naxalism on March 31, 2026 after decades of insurgency-related violence.The outcome, the government claimed, was the result of sustained efforts over the past 12 years that combined security operations, development initiatives, welfare programmes and rehabilitation measures. The approach also included technology-driven interventions aimed at strengthening intelligence gathering, surveillance and coordination among agencies. Authorities said these measures led to a decline in violence, encouraged cadres to surrender and helped improve access to infrastructure and public services in affected areas.For nearly six decades, Left-Wing Extremism remained a significant challenge in several parts of the country, particularly in remote and tribal regions. The conflict affected millions of people, with many areas witnessing prolonged violence and limited access to development and government services.Reflecting on the government&#8217;s commitment to internal peace, Minister Rai stated, &#8220;India has become completely free of Naxalism as of April 2026.&#8221; He highlighted that this achievement is the result of a sustained, zero-tolerance strategy against extremism.The movement traces its origins to the Naxalbari uprising in West Bengal in 1967 and drew inspiration from Maoist ideology and the concept of armed revolution. Over time, several extremist groups operated across different regions before merging under the banner of the CPI (Maoist) in 2004. The organisation subsequently emerged as the principal face of the insurgency and came to be regarded as one of India&#8217;s most serious internal security challenges.Official data show that the period between 2004 and 2014 was among the most violent phases of the conflict. Violence peaked in 2010, when 1,936 incidents were recorded and 720 civilians were killed. During the decade, there were 17,542 incidents of violence, resulting in the deaths of 1,913 security personnel and 5,019 civilians.The government noted that responses to the insurgency during this period were often fragmented, with states pursuing different approaches. In 2009, the Centre described Naxalism as the country&#8217;s biggest internal security challenge, citing its geographical spread across large parts of central and eastern India.When the present government assumed office in May 2014, the Red Corridor continued to pose a major security concern. According to the government, earlier responses had largely focused on containing incidents rather than addressing underlying issues linked to security, governance and development.Subsequently, a broader strategy was adopted that combined security measures with development projects, welfare interventions, improved infrastructure, intelligence-led operations and rehabilitation schemes for surrendered cadres. The government said the approach contributed to a sustained reduction in violence and the shrinking influence of Left-Wing Extremist groups across affected regions.The declaration made on 31 March 2026 marks the government&#8217;s assessment that Left-Wing Extremism no longer poses the scale of threat it once did, bringing to a close a chapter that shaped India&#8217;s internal security discourse for decades.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>Defence minister Rajnath Singh and Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis at the ceremony in Nagpur NEW DELHI: Defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday “that a nation capable of meeting its own requirements moves forward with the greatest confidence towards safeguarding its interests”. He made the remark while performing bhoomi pujan for a state-of-the-art 10,000-tonne aluminium extrusion press, along with Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, at Ordnance Factory Ambajhari, Nagpur, a unit of Yantra India Limited (YIL). Stressing that taking control of security-related necessities is imperative in the present geopolitical scenario to remain future-ready, Rajnath said the new facility will support the manufacture of large and complex aluminium alloy profiles required for defence systems and platforms, aerospace and aviation structures, missile programmes, railways and transportation sectors and other strategic industrial applications. The project will help reduce dependence on imports of critical aluminium extrusions and strengthen the domestic supply chain, he said. He asserted that the extrusion press symbolises a shift in the country&#8217;s approach from relying on imports to producing critical goods domestically and proposed the press will be one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the country. It will support the manufacture of large and complex aluminium alloy profiles required for defence systems and platforms, aerospace &#038; aviation structures, missile programmes, railways &#038; transportation sectors and other strategic industrial applications. The project will help reduce dependence on imports of critical aluminium extrusions and strengthen the domestic supply chain, while supporting the future requirements in strategic sectors through indigenous production. “This extrusion press addresses a crucial need. Modern fighter jets, missiles, and advanced space programmes require metals that are lightweight and strong, capable of withstanding even the most extreme conditions. Such metals are produced through specialised processes. If the quality of the metal is superior, it will serve well in every situation,” Rajnath said. Highlighting the significant role played by made-in-India equipment in the success of Operation Sindoor, Rajnath stressed the need to increase the indigenous manufacturing of robust hardware to complement the bravery of defence forces personnel. He underlined that thousands of crucial components constitute the true strength of big machines, and the extrusion press will go a long way in making the nation self-reliant in this critical domain. He said, “Today, while the nature of warfare is evolving and enemies are harder to detect, conventional warfare &#038; its associated means remain just as relevant as they were in 1947, and will retain much of the same relevance in 2047 as well.” He said the importance of a strong military-industrial base will continue for a long time, and the extrusion press is a step towards fulfilling a major national need, keeping the future requirements in mind. Rajnath highlighted that the govt is marching ahead to realise PM Modi’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat by simultaneously working on four key elements &#8211; technology, workforce, knowledge, and faith in the nation. He stated that the govt’s persistent efforts are yielding positive results as the domestic defence production, which stood at Rs 46,000 crore in 2014, has risen to a record Rs 1.78 lakh crore in Financial Year (FY) 2025-26. He added that the nation was exporting arms and equipment worth less than Rs 1,000 crore in 2014, which has now skyrocketed to an all-time high of Rs 38,424 crore. “This represents not just a rise in numbers, but a growth in India’s capabilities. It signifies a boost in the nation&#8217;s self-confidence. We are poised to achieve the targets we have set for the next 2-3 years &#8211; Rs 3 lakh crore defence production and Rs 50,000 crore defence exports ahead of schedule,” he said. The minister acknowledged the efforts being made by YIL in making a significant contribution to advancing the goal of self-reliance. He stated that the corporatisation of the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) was carried out to make the system stronger and more agile in view of the changing times, and emerging technologies, and YIL is a result of that transformation. “Post-corporatisation, we envisioned that the new entities enjoy sufficient operational autonomy and gain opportunities to excel in innovation, risk-taking, research, and exports. All the new DPSUs have successfully moved in that direction. OFB’s production, which stood at Rs 12,755 crore in the pre-corporatisation year of FY 2019-20, has risen to Rs 26,282 crore in FY 2025-26. In defence exports, the figure stood at a mere Rs 81 crore prior to corporatisation. It has now surged to Rs 4,561 crore, with YIL contributing Rs 397 crore,” he added.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>File photo: PM Modi with US President Donald Trump NEW DELHI: US President Donald Trump has called Prime Minister Narendra Modi as &#8220;a very tough cookie&#8221; and one of the world leaders he most admires, while praising Chinese President Xi Jinping as &#8220;all business&#8221; during a wide-ranging interview with Axios.According to Axios, Trump named PM Modi and Xi when asked which global leaders he admired the most.The remarks came during a 45-minute interview conducted shortly after the G7 Summit in France, where Trump said he had held a &#8220;very dominant&#8221; series of meetings.&#8221;Trump named China&#8217;s Xi Jinping and India&#8217;s Narendra Modi as the world leaders he most admires, praising Xi as &#8216;all business&#8217; and Modi as &#8216;a very tough cookie&#8217;,&#8221; Axios reported.Praise for PM Modi comes after G7 meetingTrump&#8217;s latest comments add to a series of complimentary remarks he has made about the Indian Prime Minister in recent weeks.The two leaders met on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France on Wednesday, their first in-person interaction in more than 16 months.Trump used the meeting to underscore the close relationship between the two countries despite recent tensions over trade, sanctions and the deaths of three Indian sailors in a US military strike off the coast of Oman.&#8221;We have the best relationship. We cannot be closer than we are,&#8221; Trump said during the meeting. &#8220;Both him and I, and our nations. But it really starts with the two of us.&#8221;Trump has repeatedly praised PM Modi&#8217;s negotiating skills. At the G7 summit, he described the prime minister as a tough trade negotiator and said a new trade agreement between the two countries was &#8220;very close&#8221;.&#8221;So you look at this man. I&#8217;ll give you a lesson. He&#8217;s the most BEAUTIFUL-looking man. He looks so nice. He&#8217;s like an angel. But actually, he&#8217;s tough, he&#8217;s a killer. He&#8217;s as tough as they come. But he looks so good. So he gets you by surprise,&#8221; Trump said.Trump&#8217;s remarks on world leadersThe Axios interview focused heavily on Trump&#8217;s view of power and global leadership.According to the report, Trump spoke about his influence on world affairs following the US-Iran peace framework and reflected on his relationships with several world leaders.He declined to identify whom he considered the weakest leaders but lamented Russian President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s absence from the G7, which became the G7 after Russia&#8217;s expulsion in 2014.Axios reported that Trump also highlighted French President Emmanuel Macron&#8217;s decision to host him for a state dinner at the Palace of Versailles during the summit.The interview coincided with the release of details from the upcoming book Regime Change by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.According to Axios, the book describes Trump discussing a document that compared his power as US president with historical figures including Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Adolf Hitler.India-US ties remain under focusThe praise for PM Modi comes at a time when India and the United States are attempting to strengthen bilateral ties after several points of friction.Relations have faced challenges over tariffs imposed on Indian exports, New Delhi&#8217;s continued purchase of Russian oil and immigration-related issues. However, both sides have continued negotiations on a broader trade agreement.During their G7 meeting, PM Modi raised concerns over the safety of Indian seafarers working across global maritime routes, particularly in and around the Strait of Hormuz.He also thanked Trump for efforts aimed at restoring peace in West Asia following the recent US-Iran understanding.Despite ongoing policy differences, Trump&#8217;s latest comments suggest that his personal rapport with PM Modi remains strong.His description of the Prime Minister as &#8220;a very tough cookie&#8221; adds to earlier characterisations in which he called PM Modi a &#8220;very tough negotiator&#8221; and one of the global leaders he respects the most.Get the latest India news and live updates.
