‘US Reaffirms Full Support For India’s Fight Against…’ US Spox CLASHES With Reporter On India-Pak

United States reaffirmed its unwavering support for India’s fight against terrorism during a crucial visit by a multi-party Indian parliamentary delegation, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. In Washington, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau emphasized the India-U.S. strategic partnership, especially in the aftermath of India’s Operation Sindoor. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce acknowledged bilateral talks with both Indian and Pakistani delegations, reiterating support for peace and counterterrorism. Trump’s hint at Kashmir mediation was also addressed—though India strongly rejected any third-party involvement in its internal matters. #IndiaUSRelations #CounterTerrorism #OperationSindoor #PahalgamAttack #ShashiTharoor #USIndiaPartnership #USSupportIndia #TerrorFight #KashmirIssue #TrumpOnKashmir #NoMediation #IndiaPakistanTensions #GlobalSecurity #ChristopherLandau #TammyBruce #BilawalBhutto #USStateDept #Geopolitics #IndiaForeignPolicy #KashmirIsIndia Also Read PM Modi Meets Members Of All-Party Delegations :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pm-modi-meets-members-of-all-party-delegations-4177601.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Reaffirms Strong Support for India in Combating Terrorism, Says FM Johann Wadephul :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-supports-india-fight-against-terrorism-011-4175297.html?ref=DMDesc India's External Affairs Minister Jaishankar Reiterates Zero Tolerance Against Terrorism in Talks with UK :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-zero-tolerance-terrorism-jaishankar-lammy-011-4175275.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.122~

Election Fraud Claims: BJP exposes Rahul Gandhi’s Baseless Attack on Democracy

Rahul Gandhi has once again resorted to Election Fraud Claims to cast doubt on India's electoral system. From raising questions on EVMs to now alleging "match-fixing" in Maharashtra, his narrative of Election Fraud Claims has no evidence. Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and JP Nadda have all slammed these Election Fraud Claims, calling them an insult to the people’s verdict. The Election Commission, too, has dismissed these charges as unfounded and misleading. Repeating Election Fraud Claims after every defeat weakens democracy and insults honest voters. It's time to reject fake narratives and trust the electoral process. #ElectionFraudClaims #RahulGandhiExposed #TrustElectionsIndia #DemocracyNotDrama #ECIClarifies
