India-Pakistan Ceasefire Shattered? Vikram Misri Accuses Pak of Intrusion After Deal-MEA Briefing [Video]

India-Pakistan Ceasefire Shattered? Vikram Misri Accuses Pak of Intrusion After Deal-MEA Briefing

Just hours after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire, Delhi has accused Islamabad of violating the deal. In a hard-hitting press briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri revealed that Pakistani forces intruded across the border shortly after the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) reached an understanding. India has responded with strong retaliation, and Misri did not mince words—calling the intrusion “extremely condemnable” and placing full responsibility on Pakistan. Is the ceasefire already collapsing? Has Pakistan’s military undermined its own civilian leadership? #IndiaPakistan #CeasefireViolation #VikramMisri #MEAStatement #PakistanIntrusion #IndiaRetaliates #BreakingNews #SouthAsiaCrisis #DGMOs #BorderTensions #IndianArmy #PakistanBetrays #PeaceDealCollapsed #Geopolitics #LiveUpdates ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~

India's Vikram Misri SHUTS DOWN Pak Army Spokesman, Turns Rahul, Malik Clips Into Democratic Victory

During a joint briefing, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri delivered a brutal shutdown to Pakistan's Army's DG ISPR after Pakistan showcased videos of Indian leaders Rahul Gandhi and Satyapal Malik criticizing the Indian government. Misri’s response, stating that "criticism is a sign of a functioning democracy, not a weakness," is going viral online, with Indians praising his diplomatic finesse. The exchange highlighted Pakistan’s lack of democratic freedoms on the global stage and served as a powerful counter to Pakistan’s information warfare tactics. #VikramMisri #PakArmy #ISPR #IndiaPakistanRelations #DiplomaticMasterclass #IndianDemocracy #PakistaniInfoWar #GlobalPolitics #PoliticalDiplomacy #ForeignPolicy #India #Pakistan #RahulGandhi #SatyapalMalik #MEAPressConference #PakistanCriticism #DemocraticRights #MisriShutdown #IndiaVsPakistan #PakistaniCriticism #IndianLeadership #PoliticalClash #DiplomaticVictory #GlobalDiplomacy #IndianGovernment #PressBriefing #InformationWar #DemocracyMatters #IndiaPakistanTensions #MisriReply #IndianForeignPolicy #PakistanLackOfDemocracy #TrendingNow Also Read Remember 1971 Surrender!

Additional District Development Commissioner Raj Kumar Thapa Killed As Pak shelled Rajouri | MEA

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed that Pakistan shelled Rajouri town early Saturday, killing the Additional District Development Commissioner, Raj Kumar Thapa. This attack adds to the growing civilian casualties in the region as tensions continue to rise. The Indian government has condemned the deliberate targeting of civilians and critical infrastructure. Operation Sindoor is currently active as the armed forces maintain high alert across border states. With international observers watching closely, this sharp escalation threatens to push the region into deeper conflict unless urgent diplomatic steps are taken. #RajouriAttack #OperationSindoor #VikramMisri #PakistanShelling #IndiaPakistanConflict #CivilianCasualties #BreakingNews #LoCEscalation #RajKumarThapa #IndiaDefence #MilitaryAlert #IndoPakTensions #KashmirShelling #IndiaResponds #PakistanOffensive #BorderTensions #GlobalAlert #WarWatch #IndiaNews #SecurityCrisis ~ED.346~HT.336~

‘Pak attacked Gurudwara’ | ‘Attempt to cause communal discord’ | ‘India’s unity a challenge to Pak’

The Indian government has called out Pakistan’s blatant lie that it was not targetting any religious places. India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri informed the media that Pakistan had targetted a gurudwara in Poonch which resulted in the death of civilians. Misri also termed Pakistan’s claims that India targetted Nankana Sahib in Pakistan, and was targetting its own cities as ‘Preposterous and Outrages’. He said that Pakistan’s attempts to fuel communal discord will fail as India’s unity is in itself a challenge to Pakisan. #OperationSindoor #IndiaPakistanWar #IndiaVsPakistan #IndiaPakistanTensions #PakistanVsIndia #IndiaStrikesPakistan #IndiaAttackPakistan #IndiaPakistanConflict #IndiaPakistanNews #OperationSindoorLive #IndiaPakistanRelations #OperationSindoorVideo #IndiaPakistanTension #OperationSindoorLatest #IndiaPakistanLatestNews Also Read Jaisalmer Enforces Full Blackout and Curfew Amid Rising Indo-Pak Border Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/jaisalmer-enforces-full-blackout-and-curfew-amid-rising-indo-pak-border-tensions-4148589.html?ref=DMDesc India Accuses Pakistan Of Using Turkish Drones, Civilian Flights As Cover In Attacks Amid Rising Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-accuses-pakistan-of-using-turkish-drones-in-attacks-amid-rising-cross-border-tensions-4148531.html?ref=DMDesc MHA Urges Emergency Civil Defence Measures After Pakistan's Coordinated Attacks :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/mha-urges-emergency-civil-defence-measures-after-pakistans-coordinated-attacks-4148453.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

‘This Is An Attack On Justice…’ UN BLASTS US Sanctions On ICC Judges Amid Netanyahu’s Probe [Video]

‘This Is An Attack On Justice…’ UN BLASTS US Sanctions On ICC Judges Amid Netanyahu’s Probe

The UN’s top human rights official, Volker Türk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as “deeply corrosive” to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. Türk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the court’s independence from political pressure. #ICC #USSanctions #UN #VolkerTürk #InternationalJustice #Netanyahu #AfghanistanWarCrimes #RuleOfLaw #HumanRights #EU #GlobalJustice #ICCJUDGES #GazaInvestigation #SanctionsBacklash #TrumpSanctions #USvsICC #InternationalLaw #WarCrimesAccountability #JusticeSystem #LegalIndependence Also Read Women's Cricket World Cup Schedule: ICC Announces Match Dates, Venues; Pakistan Matches In Colombo :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/womens-cricket-world-cup-schedule-icc-announces-match-dates-venues-pakistan-matches-in-colombo-4170415.html?ref=DMDesc Shreyas Iyer Wins ICC Award For His Valuable Contribution In Champions Trophy 2025 :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shreyas-iyer-wins-icc-award-for-his-valuable-contribution-in-champions-trophy-2025-4124361.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Cricketers Face Another Setback as All Fifty Players Go Unsold in the Hundred Draft :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/pakistan-cricketers-face-another-setback-as-all-fifty-players-go-unsold-in-the-hundred-draft-4094855.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

Trump SLAMS ICC, Slaps Sanctions on Judges for Pursuing ‘WAR CRIMES’ Case Against Israeli Troops

U.S. President Donald Trump has sanctioned four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges for pursuing war crimes investigations against American and Israeli troops over actions in Gaza and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the ICC’s actions as illegitimate and a threat to U.S. sovereignty. Netanyahu praised the move, calling the ICC charges political. The ICC, EU, and UN strongly opposed the sanctions, warning they undermine global justice and shield war criminals from accountability. #TrumpSanctions #ICC #WarCrimes #GazaWar #Afghanistan #MarcoRubio #IsraelSupport #GlobalJustice #Netanyahu #InternationalLaw #ICCSanctions #USForeignPolicy #UN #EUResponse #PoliticalJustice #AmericaFirst #Sovereignty #HumanRights #MiddleEastCrisis #GlobalAccountability #BreakingNews #SanctionedJudges #WorldCourtCrisis #JusticeUnderAttack #WarCrimesInvestigation Also Read Trump vs Musk: Billionaire Battle Turns Ugly With Epstein Taunt, SpaceX Heat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vs-musk-billionaire-battle-turns-ugly-with-epstein-taunt-spacex-heat-4173783.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.102~

Trump’s Travel Ban EXPOSED: Who’s REALLY Getting Past the Wall? | These People Walk Right In!

President Trump has signed a sweeping travel ban blocking entry from 12 countries, mostly in Africa and the Middle East, including Iran, Sudan, and Yemen.

Trump’s Travel Ban Slammed by Venezuela, Citizens Warned to Stay Away | Ban Sparks Diplomatic Storm

Venezuela has slammed the latest U.S. travel ban, with Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello calling America a “dangerous place” where Venezuelans are persecuted “for no reason.” The backlash follows President Trump’s proclamation banning entry from 12 nations, including Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, and Yemen. Somali Ambassador Dahir Abdi says he’s open to dialogue, but many see the ban as discriminatory. The White House defends it as “common sense” national security. Trump cited a recent attack in Colorado by Egyptian nationals—though Egypt is not on the list. #Trump #TravelBan #Venezuela #DiosdadoCabello #USPolitics #ForeignPolicy #NationalSecurity #Somalia #SomaliAmbassador #DahirAbdi #ImmigrationPolicy #HumanRights #BreakingNews #GlobalReaction #WhiteHouse #AmericaFirst #BannedCountries #MiddleEast #SouthAmerica #TrumpSpeech #ColoradoAttack #VisaPolicy #BorderSecurity #USImmigration #WorldNews #Diplomacy #Proclamation #InternationalRelations #TrumpBan #VenezuelaSlamsUS
