07:21⇢Modi Boasts of 22-Minute Retaliation Against Pakistan
⌨The newspapers report extensively on Prime Minister Modi's speech in Bikaner, where he spoke about India's retaliation against Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam attack. Modi claimed India destroyed nine terrorist hideouts in just 22 minutes (Aaj Tak, ABP Live, Dainik Bhaskar, India Today, Jagran, Jansatta, NDTV, Times of India). He used the metaphor "sindoor turned to barood" (vermilion turned to gunpowder), suggesting India's aggressive response to attacks on its people. Meanwhile, Pakistan's PM Sharif has proposed talks with Modi, suggesting Saudi Arabia as a neutral venue (Firstpost). Other headlines mention Supreme Court proceedings on the Waqf Amendment Act (The Hindu) and a stay on the ED probe into Tamil Nadu's TASMAC (Zee News, Dinamalar).
