Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif vowed that Pakistan would not allow India to take “even a single drop” of its water, as tensions rose between the two nuclear-armed nations after India suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. The long-standing pact on sharing Indus River waters was put “in abeyance” following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.

00:00:00The top story that we are following here on India today is the threat that is coming in from Pakistan once again.
00:00:06Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif's big threat to India.
00:00:10Pakistani Prime Minister says India cannot snatch even a single drop of water from Pakistan.
00:00:16If you try to stop our water, we will teach you a lesson that you will never forget.
00:00:21A threat coming in from the Pakistani Prime Minister now.
00:00:24He said that India will not be able to snatch even a single drop of water from Pakistan.
00:00:30If you try to stop our water, we will teach you a lesson that you will never forget.
00:00:34This is a threat, a direct threat coming in from the Pakistani Prime Minister.

00:02:28But as far as the Indus Water Treaty is concerned, you know, the technical status, the official status of, you know, the Indus Water Treaty is that India has put it in abeyance.
00:02:38And before that, India did inform Pakistan that India want to renegotiate the Indus Water Treaty, which is the one which is like over 65 year old treaty.
00:02:49And India wanted it to be negotiated because the conditions for the treaty has changed.
00:02:54And Pakistan blatantly and continuously violated the basic terms of the treaty because the preamble of the treaty clearly says that, you know, the basic condition for that treaty to be implemented is the friendly relation between both the countries, which never existed.
00:03:12And especially in case of the continuous terror attacks emanating from the Pakistani soil.
00:03:18So, you know, that remains the official position.
00:03:21Recently, Pakistan went to the Permanent Court of Arbitration and that too in violation of the Indus Water Treaty because they should have negotiated with India because it is enshrined in the treaty that both the parties will try and sit together and resolve the issues emanating out of this treaty.
00:03:39On the other side, Pakistani leaders, be it Bilal Bhutto Zardari or Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif have been giving threats because threats for this, you know, Indus Water Treaty and for playing the, you know, for their audience, for their galleries in Pakistan.
00:03:59Pakistan, because Pakistan being a lower riparian state, they are already getting the flow of the water.
00:04:08So, India has not stopped the water flow to Pakistan.
00:04:13Right, Pranay, please stay on with me.
00:04:15Let's once again listen in to what the Pakistani Prime Minister has said.
00:04:18Threats are now coming in from the state of Pakistan.
00:04:20Threats are now coming in from the state of Pakistan.
00:04:50My colleague, Pranay, is still with me on the story.
00:04:56Pranay, we have seen how just a couple of days back, ample proof was in fact given by the Indian Air Force chief.
00:05:02He precisely said what India had done and also saying some of the air bases are not functional yet in Pakistan.
00:05:09But despite that kind of damage, despite the answer that India had given to the Pahalgaon terror attack, we are seeing these kind of threats once again coming in.
00:05:18I'm sure not even by Indian Air Chief, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh.
00:05:23But the Pakistani public also knows the proof of Indian airstrikes during Operation Sendur was given by the Pakistani people on their social media accounts.
00:05:33The world has seen the kind of damage suffered by the Pakistani military and how miserably they failed to defend their territory.
00:05:40And that's why Pakistan is more, you know, more helvent and they are trying more hard to establish and to show that how they defended.
00:05:51And that's why, you know, this is the irony that Pakistani army chief in general and now the field marshal has elevated his rank.
00:06:02The Pakistani military has celebrated its victory because Pakistanis have always sold the notion of victory.
00:06:08Despite suffering so many losses on their frontline bases, air bases of Pakistan, right from Skardu in up north to, you know, Polari in Jacobabad in down south in Sins province of Pakistan,
00:06:22various air bases of Pakistan have suffered losses.
00:06:25Not only that, the Air Chief of India has also confirmed that six of the Pakistani air platforms, including an AWACS aircraft,
00:06:33has suffered damages during the Operation Sendur strikes.
00:06:38Thank you, Rene, giving us all those details.
00:06:40My colleague also pointing out that it's not once but multiple times that India has given proof.
00:06:45The Pakistani citizens also know the kind of damage that India had inflicted on Pakistan during Operation Sendur.
00:06:54We're moving now to the phase of that is taking place between the opposition parties and the Election Commission.
00:07:00And it is intensifying with each passing day.
00:07:03The vote-chory showdown between Rahul Gandhi and the Election Commission is escalating now.
00:07:08Sources have told India today that during the India block hurdle held at Congress Chief Malika Arjun Kargir's residence,
00:07:14Rahul Gandhi claimed that the Congress party lost 70 seats by a margin of less than 50,000 votes.
00:07:21Rahul Gandhi is alleging same module was used in Bengaluru Central.
00:07:25The party is now probing whether all the victories of the BJP are genuine or not.
00:07:29The BJP, however, has hit back, accusing Rahul Gandhi of thinking that he's above the law
00:07:34and treating the Election Commission like a UPA cabinet.
00:07:37Rahul Gandhi and the vice versa.
00:08:07I don't understand why the fielding and batting is the same as the 12th party is in the government, but the Supreme Court has said that Congress has a voter release.
00:08:25That day, the election commission has made a decision and made a decision.
00:08:30.
00:09:00foreign
00:09:30I am not calling the vote-cats, but I am calling the vote-cats.
00:09:36I am calling the vote-cats.
00:09:37It is a decision to vote-cats,
00:09:39and the vote-cats are doing this.
00:09:43Nanda Ji had a mistake in the past,
00:09:45one nation, one party.
00:09:47He has already had a decision of his people to win and win.
00:09:51He has decided to complete the election commission.
00:09:55Firstly, Mr. Rahul Gandhi is a firm believer that he is above the law of the nation.
00:10:06Secondly, Mr. Rahul Gandhi thinks that election commission is UPA cabinet
00:10:11which is duty-bound to do what Mr. Rahul Gandhi will dictate them to do.
00:10:16Number three and most importantly, Mr. Rahul Gandhi by not signing the oath
00:10:22and refusing to sign the oath, the complaint to election commission has exposed himself.
00:10:29The truth is Mr. Rahul Gandhi is well aware that under the Indian law,
00:10:33giving a false evidence and giving false declaration is an offence punishable with imprisonment.
00:10:41Now there is also the very curious case of Shakun Rani.
00:10:45She is a Bengaluru voter. Rahul Gandhi is claiming that she has voted twice.
00:10:48Now fact-checked by Shakun Rani, she herself said that she only has won her one voter ID card
00:10:55and only goes on to say that she has not voted twice but she has only voted once.
00:10:59Listen in.
00:11:00I have voted once.
00:11:01I have voted once.
00:11:02I have voted once.
00:11:03I have voted once.
00:11:04The TV shows that my face is also on the same page and my name is on the screen.
00:11:09This is not true.
00:11:12We are all citizens.
00:11:13We have voted once.
00:11:17We have voted once.
00:11:19We have voted once.
00:11:21Sir, our request is that we have voted once.
00:11:24And the vote is our witness.
00:11:27That's why we have voted once.
00:11:30So if someone says that you have voted once,
00:11:34then if someone thinks that you have voted once,
00:11:36that if someone says that you have voted once,
00:11:38or put it on the TV,
00:11:40that it will be true,
00:11:41then it will not be true.
00:11:42If we have voted once, that's all.
00:11:44Now the big political storm over Bihar's voter list actually took a very unexpected turn.
00:11:51There are allegations that 124-year-old first-time voter named Minta Devi,
00:11:57now this has been debunked.
00:11:58Now it seems like this is a glaring case,
00:12:01not of a voter fraud,
00:12:02but actually a clerical error.
00:12:04India Today travelled to Sivan to get the facts of this case.
00:12:07Take a look.
00:12:14The political storm over Bihar's voter list has taken yet another surprising twist.
00:12:33The opposition's protest was hard to miss at Parliament on Tuesday.
00:12:37Wearing white T-shirts that tread 124 not out,
00:12:40with a photograph of a woman named Minta Devi,
00:12:43India block alleged irregularities in the revised voter list by the EC.
00:12:48To investigate the truth behind the claim,
00:12:51India Today travelled to Sivan,
00:12:53where Minta Devi is registered to vote.
00:12:56Our investigation revealed that Minta Devi,
00:12:58while very much alive,
00:13:00contrary to what has been claimed,
00:13:02is only 35 years old.
00:13:04Official documents show that the age discrepancy
00:13:07is not due to fraudulent intent,
00:13:09but due to a clerical error.
00:13:11Our husband Dhananjay Singh said that the issue has led to several disruptions in their lives.
00:13:36We are all right.
00:13:37We are wrong.
00:13:38We are wrong.
00:13:39We are wrong.
00:13:40We are wrong.
00:13:41We are wrong.
00:13:42We are wrong.
00:13:43This family is wrong.
00:13:44We are wrong.
00:13:45Our age is not 90.
00:13:46And we have not done anything wrong.
00:13:47We have not done anything wrong with that.
00:13:49We are wrong with that.
00:13:50We do not have to be wrong.
00:13:51The controversy has spiraled into a political storm ahead of Bihar's high-stakes elections.
00:14:19Meanwhile, the BJP has slammed the opposition's protest, calling it political drama.
00:14:51I do not have to the war.
00:14:53The government of Gatwad nath roots, the Bhogai Pradarsan,
00:14:57will not be wrong with them.
00:14:59But we take our father's party congress with just a little taste.
00:15:03For now, the Congress is all set to launch a national campaign of Vote Chhor Gaddi Chhor
00:15:16from the 14th of August.
00:15:19With the opposition refusing to bow down on the issue of vote theft,
00:15:23will this impact Bihar polls remains to be seen.
00:15:26With Alok Jaisfal from Siwan, Bureau Report, India Today.
00:15:30We are moving now to the state of Karnataka,
00:15:34where a brutal murder of a youth has sent shockwaves across the country.
00:15:38In Karnataka's Kopal district, a 26-year-old youth brutally hacked to death,
00:15:43allegedly over a love affair.
00:15:45The victim has now been identified as Gavasiddapa Valmiki.
00:15:49He was attacked around 8.30pm on the 3rd of August.
00:15:53The police is now claiming that this murder was pre-planned,
00:15:55carrying out using sharp-edged sickle and linked to a personal rivalry over a love relationship.
00:16:01Police have arrested four in connection of the case.
00:16:04Those are the visuals that you are seeing on the screens.
00:16:06During the initial inquiry, the prime suspect in the case confessed to committing the crime,
00:16:11claiming that he and the deceased were reportedly in love with the same girl
00:16:14and that's the reason which led to the murder.
00:16:17He was murdered using sickle when he was standing on his vehicle.
00:16:24A person by name Sadiq Kolkar has been already identified and secured.
00:16:29On preliminary examination, on preliminary inquiry,
00:16:33he has admitted of doing the crime for a personal reason
00:16:37where the accused and he himself used to love one girl.
00:16:43So, because of this reason,
00:16:45he has admitted that he has murdered that person by name Gavasiddapa.
00:16:50On preliminary inquiry also, we identified the same reason.
00:16:54If at all there are more persons, we are identifying those persons also.
00:16:58A shocking incident now being reported from Bengaluru City in the state of Karnataka.
00:17:05A woman was allegedly chased by 10 to 12 drivers on the 10th of August.
00:17:10This incident occurred very late at night and everything was captured on the CCTV cameras.
00:17:15According to the victim, one of the drivers overtook her recklessly
00:17:19and then all of them started chasing her with bricks till she reached her house.
00:17:23These CCTV footages also show that the victim was chased,
00:17:27her car was vandalized, the assailants and her relatives were in fact thrashed by the attackers.
00:17:32The victim's family has now gone ahead and filed an FIR
00:17:35and they are demanding immediate arrest of all those who were involved in this assault.
00:17:5110 lakhs trade odds and barely any shelters.
00:17:54While the country actually remains very divided over the Supreme Court's order,
00:17:59the key question still looms large.
00:18:01Can this order be even implemented on the ground?
00:18:04How many required shelters?
00:18:06How many of them actually exist?
00:18:08What is the condition?
00:18:09India Today is bringing you this ground report.
00:18:11In eight weeks, about 10 lakh dogs across Delhi and Sia are expected to be taken and into animal shelters.
00:18:27But where are these shelters?
00:18:29Do they even exist on paper?
00:18:32And are they equipped to take in lakhs and lakhs of stray dogs permanently?
00:18:36To answer these questions, India Today visited animal welfare centres run by the Municipal Cooperation of Delhi
00:18:43to assess their condition, only to find serious operational lapses.
00:18:48The animal birth control centre in Tughlaqabad is leased out to a Gujarat-based NGO
00:19:00that has previously faced suspension orders for illegal, irresponsible and cruel animal activities.
00:19:08Despite all irregularities and violation of animal birth control rules,
00:19:13the NGO managed to obtain the tender in Delhi.
00:19:16The operational challenges are very different from what it is written on paper.
00:19:25Ideally, an ABC centre should be running in the proper manner.
00:19:29The doctors should be present.
00:19:31And clearly, it shouldn't be shut down like the one that we see here right now.
00:19:36I'll try my best to give you a glimpse from down of this centre that is in Tughlaqabad.
00:19:41These are the government-run ABC programmes that are done in the national capital.
00:19:53India Today also found the animal birth control unit in Lajpatnagar locked.
00:19:58The staff did not respond to repeated knocks and the gate remained shut.
00:20:04We are trying to get in touch with somebody to open the shelter for us but it seems like the doors have been closed from inside at the moment.
00:20:14So, this is the ground reality of shelters, first of all, there aren't many shelters that are run by the MCD for dogs.
00:20:22There are just these places where these are sterilisation centres that are run by the MCD.
00:20:29But even though this is the condition where a registered centre of the MCD is not even open at the time, during the day per so.
00:20:39At the Masoodpur Sterilisation Centre in Vasanth Kunj, the only doctor on duty was absent.
00:20:53Surgery entries were not shown.
00:20:55There was no record of when dogs had been brought in and the staff admitted that several dogs in the shelter had not yet undergone surgery.
00:21:03To pile on, the facility was unclean, there were no bathing facilities and food for the dogs was left uncovered.
00:21:14The situation seems to be deplorable because the entire centre needs a little bit organisation.
00:21:23There is no cleaning as such and there is staff shortage as well.
00:21:28You know, the condition here is that there are only fans and hardly one particular tube light that is also not functional on this particular side.
00:21:39In the heaty months of the summers, this place must be really hot for these dogs to be kept out in the open like this.
00:21:47According to MCD sources, Delhi has no dedicated dog shelters and only 20 sterilisation centres with a combined capacity for about 2,500 dogs at a time.
00:22:00Experts say controlling the stray population requires sterilising at least 70% of dogs, a target unlikely to be met with existing systems.
00:22:10But with the Supreme Court's directive in place, they said they are obliged to follow orders despite the challenges.
00:22:20With Milan Sharma and Sreya Chatterjee in Delhi, Bury Report, India Today.
00:22:32News that's coming in with regards to the United States of America.
00:22:36It's the US which is now hailing the counter-terror talks with Pakistan.
00:22:40United States claims successful US-Pakistani talks on counter-terrorism.
00:22:45US State Department in a statement said, dialogue to combat terror is going on with Pakistan.
00:22:51Discussed ways to make sure that one can counter terrorist threats.
00:22:55These are conversations happening between the United States of America and Pakistan.
00:23:00And now we are saying the US State Department saying that there is a dialogue taking place between US and Pakistan to combat terrorism.
00:23:07My colleague Shivani Sharma is now joining me on the story.
00:23:11Shivani, a little bit of a bizarre statement coming in from the United States of America.
00:23:16They in fact are having a conversation with Pakistan to combat terrorism.
00:23:20Aishwarya, this is ironic because, you know, India has been taking on the counter-terrorist operations in Samoa and Kashmir.
00:23:29Even as we speak, the operations continue.
00:23:31And who are these terrorists?
00:23:32These are the terrorists who have been pushed inside Indian boundaries from Pakistani launch pads.
00:23:38And in operations in Lureshwarya, we've seen how more than 100 terrorists were killed by Indian strikes inside Pakistan.
00:23:46So this kind of a counter-terror talk between the United States and Pakistan seems to be a face-saving agenda by Pakistan,
00:23:54where it is trying to portray in the world that it is fighting terrorism.
00:23:58Not only this, the United States has applauded Pakistan's success against terror.
00:24:03So that, again, very controversial and the kind of terrorist activities that have been taking place inside Pakistan,
00:24:11the way it has been behaving with India, the way it has been pushing terrorists inside Indian boundaries.
00:24:16So India has been demanding that Pakistan should be shamed globally,
00:24:22because it has been not only harboring terrorists, but it has been using terrorists against Indian boundaries.
00:24:28So this kind of a joint statement that has come in from Pakistan and United States on their counter-terrorism dialogue,
00:24:36which was held in Islamabad, is actually controversial and it is totally opposite of Pakistan's nature.
00:24:46Right. Thank you, Shivani, giving us all those details.
00:24:48My colleague also pointed out that this conversation that the United States of America is having with Pakistan is ironical.
00:24:55India has given enough proof, not just to the United States, but to the world community,
00:25:00about how Pakistan is involved in abetting terrorism.
00:25:05President Trump wants and seems to have developed a strong relationship.
00:25:10Do you think that this will lead to more U.S. assistance to Pakistan via an increase in arms sales?
00:25:16And is this being done at the expense of the president's relationship with Modi?
00:25:22Obviously, we had an experience with Pakistan and India when there was a conflict,
00:25:29one that could have developed into something quite horrible.
00:25:33I was here at the State Department at the time,
00:25:35and there was an immediate concern and an immediate movement with the vice president,
00:25:40the president and the secretary of state in addressing the nature of what was happening.
00:25:44Many of you who were in the room in the days afterward,
00:25:47we described the nature of the phone calls, the work that we did to stop the attacks
00:25:54and to then bring the parties together so we could have something that was enduring.
00:25:59And it's a very proud moment and a very good example of what Secretary Rubio was committed to,
00:26:05Vice President Vance in that, of course, case as well.
00:26:08But are the top leaders in this nation involved in stopping that potential catastrophe?
00:26:14I would say that our relationship with both nations is as it has been, which is good.
00:26:20And that is the benefit of having a president who knows everyone, talks to everyone.
00:26:26And that is how we can bring differences together in this case.
00:26:29So it's clear that the diplomats here are committed to both nations.
00:26:37I can tell you also that there has been a U.S.-Pakistan counterterrorism dialogue that was established.
00:26:44At this dialogue in Islamabad, the United States and Pakistan reaffirmed
00:26:48their shared commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms
00:26:52and manifestations during this latest round of the talks in Islamabad.
00:26:57The United States and Pakistan discussed ways to enhance cooperation,
00:27:01to counter terrorist threats.
00:27:03And I think that for the region and for the world,
00:27:06the United States working with both those nations is good news
00:27:10and will promote a future that's beneficial.
00:27:13Amid the tariff threats that are coming in from the United States of America,
00:27:17Prime Minister Modi and President Donald Trump's meat is now on the cards.
00:27:21Sources have told India today,
00:27:23Prime Minister Modi will be meeting Donald Trump in the United States next month.
00:27:28Sources have also said Prime Minister Modi will be travelling to the U.S. for the U.N. General Assembly meeting
00:27:34that will take place in September.
00:27:36Prime Minister Modi may hold a bilateral conversation with the U.S. President Donald Trump.
00:27:42According to sources, Prime Minister Modi may be meeting U.S. President Donald Trump next month.
00:27:47Prime Minister Modi is likely to visit the United States of America next month.
00:27:52May be going to New York at the end of the month for the United Nations General Assembly session.
00:27:57The programme of the visit at the moment is being finalised.
00:28:02Now this visit is considered extremely important,
00:28:05given the fact that the United States has imposed a 50% tariff on Indian goods.
00:28:10Discussions are going on between India and the United States regarding the bilateral trade agreement.
00:28:15My colleague Pranay Upadhyay is now joining me on the story.
00:28:20Pranay, if this happens, because this is what we are understanding at the moment,
00:28:24sources have told India today that on the cards,
00:28:26a likely meeting, a bilateral between Prime Minister Narendi Modi
00:28:30and the U.S. President Donald Trump,
00:28:32given the kind of tariffs that have been imposed on India,
00:28:3550%, this will be a very crucial meeting.
00:28:38Absolutely, Ashwarya.
00:28:41And this will be a very crucial meeting in terms of, you know,
00:28:45ironing out the differences between India and the United States.
00:28:49Though Prime Minister Narendi Modi is likely to visit New York for the United Nations General Assembly,
00:28:53but you would recall that, you know, in 2019 as well,
00:28:57when Prime Minister Modi travelled to New York,
00:28:59he had a meeting with President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
00:29:04And in the UN building itself, both the leaders met and exchanged their views.
00:29:08So similarly, this time as well, the preparations are on,
00:29:12but a lot have to be done before the both leaders meet,
00:29:15because India and U.S. have to work out the mechanism
00:29:19with which they can find out the solution of this tariff and pass.
00:29:23And for that, the U.S. team is likely to visit India
00:29:27for the sixth round of trade negotiations.
00:29:29As far as the Indian side is concerned,
00:29:31the Indian side remain prepared to engage and to, you know,
00:29:35receive the U.S. team and how, you know,
00:29:38solution can be found out as far as the trade negotiations are concerned.
00:29:42Also, you know, such differences can only be ironed out
00:29:45at the level of the political leadership,
00:29:47because, you know, ultimately the leaders have,
00:29:50and their political chemistry help to sort out the issues,
00:29:55because the way things spiraled out
00:29:57and the way U.S. President Donald Trump has put additional tariff,
00:30:0050%, you know, total 50% tariffs on India,
00:30:03it actually, you know, hurts India's business interest
00:30:06in the competitiveness of India products in U.S. market.
00:30:09And definitely India doesn't want to lose the, you know, advantage it has
00:30:13in terms of the exports, in terms of the U.S. market access.
00:30:18And that's why it is very likely that Prime Minister,
00:30:21if he travels to United Nations,
00:30:23to New York for the United Nations General Assembly meeting,
00:30:27he is likely to engage with the U.S. President Donald Trump as well.
00:30:30We do not know as yet that because of the work schedule
00:30:34or the travel schedule is still being worked out.
00:30:37And Lord, as I said, that many things need to fall in place
00:30:40before this big visit.
00:30:44Pranay, you know, you also rightly pointed out
00:30:46everyone is very keenly looking at the delegation
00:30:49which will be coming from the United States of America to India.
00:30:52From what we understand, maybe on the 25th of August,
00:30:54we will see the team in the national capital.
00:30:56And then once again, we will see the Indian diplomats
00:30:59sitting it out and making sure that they are able to iron out
00:31:02all the differences that at the moment are cropping
00:31:05between U.S. and India.
00:31:08Exactly. As far as the Indian side is concerned,
00:31:11we have certainly spent out certain red lines.
00:31:13We have told the U.S. side about the compulsions
00:31:19which we have as far as the trade negotiations are concerned.
00:31:22But India remain engaged.
00:31:23And that's why that is the India's commitment, Ashwarya,
00:31:25that we have already concluded the five rounds of negotiation
00:31:29with the U.S. side.
00:31:30And India had an early movers advantage
00:31:33because India was one of the countries
00:31:35which started the trade negotiations
00:31:37with the Trump administration,
00:31:39you know, for the very first.
00:31:44Because if you recall that Prime Minister Modi,
00:31:46when he travelled in February 2025,
00:31:49India and United States announced
00:31:50the bilateral trade agreement negotiation
00:31:53and thereafter both the sides remain engaged.
00:31:55But now Indian side is working out
00:31:58that what more concessions can be given,
00:32:00what is there can be offered to the United States
00:32:03to iron out these differences
00:32:04and to work out a bilateral trade agreement.
00:32:08Because if the trade agreement happens,
00:32:10then it will override the tariff announcement
00:32:13of President Donald Trump.
00:32:16Right.
00:32:17But please stay on with me.
00:32:18We've got some more news coming in
00:32:19from the United States of America.
00:32:20News that's coming in at the moment.
00:32:29It's Pakistan that once again
00:32:31has started to threaten India.
00:32:33Pakistani Prime Minister said
00:32:35that Pakistan will teach India a lesson
00:32:37if water is stopped.
00:32:39Pakistani Prime Minister also said
00:32:41India cannot snatch even a single drop of water.
00:32:44Shabash Sharif said
00:32:45if India stops the water,
00:32:47then Pakistan will teach India a lesson.
00:32:49This is Pakistan's third threat to India
00:32:52in the last three days.
00:32:54We are seeing these statements now
00:32:55coming in from Pakistan.
00:32:57Pakistani Prime Minister Shabash Sharif has said
00:33:00if India tries to stop the water,
00:33:02then there will be a lesson that will be taught.
00:33:05In the past three days,
00:33:07we have seen three threats coming in from Pakistan.
00:33:09Pakistan Prime Minister
00:33:14and the past three days once more
00:33:15If you can use it to us
00:33:16you can use it to the power of Pakistan.
00:33:19My colleague Pranay Upadhyay is still with me on the story.
00:33:44Pranay, at the moment it seems like these are nothing more than just hollow threats coming in from Pakistan.
00:33:50The world knows and Pakistani citizens know the befitting response that was given by India in Operation Sindhu.
00:33:57Not only do Pakistani people know what response India gave to Pahlkam terror attack in Operation Sindhu,
00:34:05but ironically, Aishwarya, the statement of Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif came at a time
00:34:10when Pakistan is grappling with floods in the same river about which Pakistani Prime Minister was making these claims
00:34:19that India wouldn't be able to stop water in these rivers.
00:34:22However, this ground situation remains that Pakistani people are, you know,
00:34:27are complaining that the government has failed to manage the flood management there,
00:34:32be it Indus River or be it Satlaj or be it Rabi or be it Piaz.
00:34:36So, all these rivers which are like, you know, which flows into Pakistan via the Indus, you know, river basin system,
00:34:45the people are compelled and people are suffering as far as the flood situation is concerned in Pakistan.
00:34:52However, having said that, Pakistan knows and it very well that it is incumbent on the Pakistani government
00:35:00to manage the Indus Water Treaty because it was Pakistan who did not fulfill its commitment to rework the Indus Water Treaty.
00:35:07It became difficult for India to sustain or to go along with this Indus Water Treaty
00:35:13because the situation has changed not only in terms of the population, in terms of the water resource requirements,
00:35:19but also in terms of the terrorism because the precondition of Indus Water Treaty remained a friendly relation
00:35:26between the two states which never, which never have happened.
00:35:29Still, India, India went along with the commitment of this treaty despite having wars of 1965 to 1971 to 1999 Gargill War
00:35:40to Operation Sindhu and, you know, at that time, after Pahalgaam terror attack,
00:35:46India decided to put Indus Water Treaty into abeyance and that is in abeyance.
00:35:50India did not nullify the treaty. India put it in abeyance and so much so,
00:35:55so that the Pakistani government can work out a mechanism through which this mechanism or this arrangement could work.
00:36:04Right, Pranay, please stay on with me. Let's once again listen in to what the Pakistani Prime Minister has said,
00:36:09the threat which is coming in from Pakistan now.
00:36:11I will have to hear it.
00:36:13Today I will hear it.
00:36:15If you have to arrest your position,
00:36:16the threat that you must be able to get is under the beginning of Pakistan.
00:36:20That is the best thing that Pakistan can help you to do,
00:36:25Pakistan will not push us.
00:36:30That if you have to bear it.
00:36:33If you have to argue it,
00:36:35I will make the book that Pakistan will not push us
00:36:38and that it will not push us.
00:36:40My colleague Pranay is still with me on the story.
00:36:45Pranay, but one of the things which is very interesting
00:36:47are the conversations that are happening
00:36:49between the United States of America and Pakistan at the moment.
00:36:53India has put out proof on various global platforms
00:36:55linking Pakistan to terrorism.
00:36:58But despite that, we see a conversation happening
00:37:00between the US and Pakistan,
00:37:02ironically, on how one needs to fight terrorism.
00:37:05So, Ashwarya, if you see the syllabus of Pakistan's National Defense Academy
00:37:11or National Defense University,
00:37:14there, it teaches how to sell the notion of victory.
00:37:18And Pakistan have worked out their playbook
00:37:20on how to sell the notion of victory.
00:37:22If you see what kind of losses suffered by Pakistan
00:37:26during Operation Sindhu,
00:37:27what kind of precision strike carried out by India
00:37:29during Operation Sindhu,
00:37:3211 of their frontline bases were badly hit.
00:37:35They have lost many of their assets
00:37:36right from the radar stations
00:37:39to six of their platforms,
00:37:42including the frontline fighter
00:37:43as well as the AWACS system.
00:37:45But still, Pakistani military
00:37:47has sold this notion of victory.
00:37:50They celebrated their victory.
00:37:51The Pakistani army chief
00:37:53has elevated his rank from general to field marshal.
00:37:56And now the Pakistani government
00:37:58is also joining Pakistani polity
00:38:00is also have joined this bandwagon
00:38:03to sell this notion of victory
00:38:04because they know,
00:38:05Pakistani people also know,
00:38:06and the proof of India's Operation Sindhu strikes
00:38:09have been posted by Pakistani people
00:38:11on their social media.
00:38:14Thank you, Pranay,
00:38:14giving us all those details.
00:38:16My colleague also pointing out
00:38:17that it's not just Pakistani people,
00:38:19but the world knows
00:38:20what Pakistan at the moment is doing.
00:38:21It's indulgence.
00:38:23This terrorism is something
00:38:24that the world is very aware of now.
00:38:26Three days, three threats.
00:38:31Pakistan's top brass has been unleashing
00:38:32a flurry of warnings against India.
00:38:35Prime Minister of Pakistan,
00:38:37Shahbaz Sharif, is now warning India.
00:38:39He says India cannot snatch
00:38:41even a drop of Pakistan's water
00:38:43and that Pakistan will teach India a lesson
00:38:45if India tries to do so.
00:38:48Sharif's warning,
00:38:49you'll be left holding your ears.
00:38:50This statement comes after India
00:38:52put the 1960 Indus Water Treaty in abeyance
00:38:55following the Pehalgaon terror attack
00:38:57which took place on the 22nd of April.
00:39:00Pakistani Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:39:02firmly stated
00:39:03that blood and water cannot flow together.
00:39:06This warning comes after
00:39:08former Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilal Bhutto
00:39:10already issued the threat to India
00:39:12over the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty,
00:39:14promising that a war will break out,
00:39:17Pakistan will fight to reclaim
00:39:18all the six rivers.
00:39:20Earlier, Pakistani Army Chief
00:39:22Field Marshal Aseem Munir
00:39:23also issued a nuclear threat to India
00:39:26during the visit
00:39:27to the United States of America.
00:39:29He said if Pakistan were to go down,
00:39:31Pakistan will take half the world with it.
00:39:33And if you want to persecute
00:39:35to the United States of theha that
00:39:37could eliminate
00:39:39jeżeli you can have
00:39:40through the pill
00:39:41of civil rights
00:39:43then you'll never
00:39:45withdraw

00:40:03।
00:40:05।
00:40:19॥
00:40:23॥
00:40:25So we can also deal with them in the war.
00:40:28And those who are six or six of you can also do it again.
00:40:33And if we do this,
00:40:36India has talked about the war.
00:40:38But if the war has changed,
00:40:40then we will tell the government
00:40:45that we don't go back,
00:40:50we don't go back.
00:40:52Now, do you remember, it was Indian Prime Minister
00:40:55already issuing a very firm warning to Pakistan
00:40:58after the Pahalgaon terror attack.
00:41:00Prime Minister Narendra Modi said,
00:41:02blood and water will not be flowing together.
00:41:04Listen in.
00:41:06।
00:41:07।
00:41:09।
00:41:10।
00:41:11।
00:41:12।
00:41:14Now, a day after Pakistan's marshal,
00:41:17Now a day after Pakistan's marshal Asim Munir's failed rant in Tampa, Florida
00:41:47threatening to take down half the world if Pakistan faces an existential threat
00:41:51Now this is something which went viral
00:41:53Pakistan's former foreign minister, Bilaval Bhutto Zardari's video went viral
00:41:57talking about waging a war against Prime Minister Nain de Modi
00:42:00and taking back the water of the six rivers for Pakistan
00:42:04Scalded by Operation Sindhoor and parched with India's water war
00:42:19Pakistani motor mouths keep provoking India
00:42:22Former Pakistan foreign minister, Bilaval Bhutto Zardari
00:42:25has now issued a direct threat to India over India's water
00:42:29But Bilaval didn't stop at India
00:42:31but threatened to set the world on fire
00:42:33A repeat of Pakistan army chief Munir's nuclear blackmail
00:42:37Munir's brazen nuclear threat made on US soil
00:43:01while attending a dinner gala in the US
00:43:03New Delhi has hit back hard at the Pakistani army chief's remarks
00:43:07While reaffirming commitment to national security at all costs
00:43:12India, cutting across party lines, added
00:43:14that there will be no tolerance for reckless blackmail
00:43:17While US President Donald Trump has been silent
00:43:31former Pentagon official Michael Rubin saw an Osama bin Laden in Aasim Munir
00:43:36Aasim Munir is Osama bin Laden in a suit
00:43:40The fact of the matter is there is no amount of concession that can be given to Pakistan
00:43:46that is going to change the political response
00:43:48and the political response has been silent
00:43:50While US President Donald Trump has been silent
00:43:52former Pentagon official Michael Rubin saw an Osama bin Laden in Aasim Munir
00:43:56There is no amount of concession that can be given to Pakistan
00:44:00that is going to change the ideology of Aasim Munir
00:44:04or the Pakistani elite which he represents
00:44:09Pakistan meanwhile scored a major diplomatic boost in the US
00:44:13The Trump administration added the Baloch Liberation Army to the list of global terror group
00:44:19The Baloch fighters have been battling the oppressive Pakistan rule and its numerous war crimes
00:44:25The only question that remains, who will stand with India when it counts the most?
00:44:30With Pranayupad here, Bureau Report, India Today
00:44:34News that's coming in at the moment
00:44:43It's the United States of America
00:44:45which is hailing counter-terrorism conversation that they have been having with Pakistan
00:44:50US claims successful US-Pakistani talks on counter-terrorism
00:44:55US State Department says a dialogue to combat terrorism is happening with Pakistan
00:45:01United States say they discussed ways to counter-terrorism threats
00:45:06This is news coming in from the United States of America
00:45:09The State Department of US says a dialogue between US and Pakistan is taking place
00:45:14how to combat terrorism
00:45:16The diplomats here are committed to both nations
00:45:21I can tell you also that there has been a US-Pakistan counter-terrorism dialogue that was established
00:45:31At this dialogue in Islamabad, the United States and Pakistan reaffirmed their shared commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms
00:45:39and manifestations during this latest round of the talks in Islamabad
00:45:44The United States and Pakistan discussed ways to enhance cooperation, to counter-terrorist threats
00:45:50And I think that for the region and for the world
00:45:54The United States working with both those nations is good news and will promote a future that's beneficial
00:46:00My colleague Shivani Sharma is now joining me on the story
00:46:03Shivani, we are now seeing these kind of statements coming in from the United States of America
00:46:08It's ironical to say the least that it's Pakistan and the US
00:46:12US now having a conversation with Pakistan on how one needs to combat terrorism
00:46:17Certainly Aishwarya this is ironical because the biggest haven for the terrorists happens to be Pakistan
00:46:24And in Pakistan Islamabad these kind of talks are happening between US and Pakistan's representatives
00:46:30Where we are also getting statements from both the countries now
00:46:34But the big question is that the state that has been harboring sponsoring and pushing terrorists inside Indian boundaries
00:46:42How can this country talk about counter-terrorist operations?
00:46:47So that's actually unacceptable and being rejected by India so many times also
00:46:52Because this is how Pakistan has been trying to portray its image
00:46:57It's trying to save its face because this is the country which has been the biggest sponsor of terrorism
00:47:03And we know how in operations Indoor India has destructed 9 terror camps inside Pakistan
00:47:10And more than 100 terrorists were killed
00:47:13So this kind of a counter-terror talk seems to be very contradictory to the nature of Pakistan
00:47:19Where United States is now also applauding the efforts by Pakistan to counter-terror
00:47:25Thank you Shivani for giving us all those details
00:47:27We are now seeing a statement coming in from US
00:47:30They are having a conversation with Pakistan on how one needs to combat terrorism
00:47:43More news coming in from the United States of America
00:47:46US regulator is now blaming India because they have not been given summons to Adani
00:47:51The US Secretary says India did not serve bribery case summons
00:47:55The regulator cites procedural bottlenecks
00:47:58Charges of $265 million bribes against businessman Adani
00:48:04Something that came up in the United States of America
00:48:07Adani has denied these bribery charges calling all these charges baseless
00:48:12The US regulators are now blaming the Indian authorities in their failure to serve summons to Gautam Adani
00:48:18The status report reviewed by India today shows that while the US financial regulator has been actively attempting to advance the federal lawsuit
00:48:27The progress store has been stalled because of procedural bottlenecks involving cross-border legal cooperation
00:48:35A legal battle is taking place in the eastern district of New York involving Indian billionaire Gautam Adani
00:48:41Now this is facing persistent delays
00:48:44The US Securities and Exchange Commission is now saying that a federal court
00:48:48Is now telling a federal court that the Indian authorities are yet to serve a formal summon to Adani group chairperson and the associates
00:48:56My colleague Nalini Sharma is now joining me on the story
00:49:02Nalini this is big news coming in
00:49:04We are now seeing the United States saying that there are procedural hurdles in serving the summons
00:49:09Now this must be done in compliance with the Hague Service Convention
00:49:13Yes Aishwarya what needs to be understood over here is that considering this is a cross-border litigation
00:49:22Which means that even though the case is going on in the US
00:49:25The defendants in the case which are Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar Adani are all based in India
00:49:31Is why the US regulators will require the help of the Indian authorities
00:49:36To ensure that the documents, the summons and all other processes are completed in the case
00:49:42Only through the Ministry of Law and Justice
00:49:44Now since February this year the US SEC has been in touch with the Ministry of Law and Justice
00:49:50And they are trying to ensure that the summons are served because that's the first step
00:49:54Only after that can the case proceed before the Eastern District New York goes where it's pending
00:49:59But they are facing bottlenecks on this because the Ministry of Law and Justice has not responded to the US SEC yet
00:50:06Giving them details as to whether or not they have been successfully able to serve the summons
00:50:11On Gautam Adani and the other defendants or not
00:50:14Thank you Ralani giving us all those details
00:50:16Big news coming in from the United States of America with regards to the Adani case
00:50:21It's the enforcement directorate heat on former Indian cricketer Suresh Rehna
00:50:33Suresh Rehna has now been summoned by the enforcement directorate in the illegal betting app case
00:50:39Rehna has been summoned in connection with the 1x betting application
00:50:43He will be grilled by the enforcement directorate in the national capital today
00:50:47Former Indian cricketer Suresh Rehna now being summoned by the enforcement directorate
00:50:52In connection with the ongoing probe into the illegal betting platforms
00:50:56Rehna joined a growing list of celebrities
00:50:59All of them are under the radar under the investigation for promoting illegal betting platforms
00:51:05It was on Monday actor Rana Dukupati also appeared before the enforcement directorate in Hyderabad
00:51:11And in May this year, Tilangana police had filed cases against 25 popular actors including Rana Dukupati and Prakash Raj
00:51:22My colleague Shreya is now with me on the story
00:51:24Shreya, enforcement directorate is probing the financial transactions and the digital trials
00:51:29A lot of other celebrities have also been named in the FIR
00:51:32We will be seeing Suresh Rehna appearing before the enforcement directorate in the 1bet case
00:51:43This is one of the betting apps which is under the surveillance of the enforcement directorate
00:51:47It is being investigated
00:51:49I mean we do need to understand that these are the betting apps that were actually promoted by multiple celebrities and social media influencers
00:51:56Despite a ban on them is why these people are right now in the dock
00:52:00What we are given to understand that the entire these betting apps is actually violating the IT Act
00:52:06The Benami Act, SEMA, PMLA, the MIT Act
00:52:10All these acts are being violated is why they are being investigated
00:52:13We are also being told that there are cases of money laundering, tax evasion
00:52:17I mean huts are being targeted
00:52:19That's close to more than 22 crore Indian users is what we are being told
00:52:25And additionally the data suggests that in 3 months in 2025 alone there are 1.6 billion visits
00:52:31And the betting apps that right now is waiding at least 27,000 crore taxes is what an initial investigation is pointing it out at
00:52:39This is the reason we are seeing these investigations continue on today
00:52:42Suresh Rehna will have to appear for the enforcement directorate
00:52:45Thank you Shreya for giving us all those details
00:52:48Suresh Rehna will be appearing before the enforcement directorate today in the National Capital
00:52:52News that's coming in at the moment
00:52:55It is with regards to Prime Minister Narendra Modi meeting the US President Donald Trump
00:52:59Sources have told India today
00:53:01It's Donald Trump who wants Prime Minister Modi to visit the United States and to have a conversation
00:53:06Prime Minister Modi might be travelling to New York for this double purpose
00:53:12If everything remains well, Prime Minister Modi will personally be extending an invitation to the US President Donald Trump
00:53:18To visit India for the Quad Summit
00:53:20Quad Summit might happen in October if things remain on the track
00:53:24These are conversations that are now happening between the United States of America and India
00:53:30And these are coming in wake of the 50% tariff that has now been levelled by the United States of America on certain Indian goods
00:53:38Sources have told India today
00:53:42Donald Trump wants to have a conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:53:46My colleague Prane Upadhyay is now joining me on the story
00:53:48Prane, if this meeting actually happens, we will see these ruffled feathers actually being ironed out
00:53:54We understand Prime Minister Modi might be travelling to New York for the double purpose
00:53:59If everything remains well, Prime Minister Modi might also personally be extending an invitation to the President Donald Trump
00:54:05To visit India for the Quad Summit
00:54:07Indeed Ashwarya, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled to Canada for the G7 Summit
00:54:13Even at that point of time, there was a meeting scheduled between both the leaders
00:54:19However, President Donald Trump went back to Washington D.C.
00:54:23Both the leaders had a telephonic conversation on 17 June 2025
00:54:29And even in that meeting, President Donald Trump extended an invitation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:54:33To visit Washington D.C. while travelling back to India
00:54:37However, due to his decided engagement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn't travel to the United States during that visit
00:54:47But, you know, President Trump and Prime Minister Modi shared a personal chemistry
00:54:52Which was acknowledged by both the leaders as well
00:54:55And even at that point of time, President Donald Trump has indicated that, you know, he wanted to have a conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
00:55:03And if you see his trajectory, he always wanted to talk to leaders
00:55:07And, you know, we have seen in the past that how leaders meeting have resolved issue as far as Trump's administration is concerned
00:55:15India remain open in engagement
00:55:17However, there is no concession for the red lines because, you know, there are certain issues
00:55:22And I think that could be best explained by Prime Minister himself
00:55:26If he gets a chance to meet President Donald Trump on the sidelines
00:55:30As well as, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also likely to extend, you know, or reiterate his invitation for President Donald Trump
00:55:37To visit India for the Quad Summit because India is host of Quad this year
00:55:42Right, thank you Pranant for giving us all those details
00:55:45India is hosting Quad Summit this year
00:55:47There is a high possibility Prime Minister Narendra Modi might be travelling to New York
00:55:51And if there is a bilateral conversation between Donald Trump and Prime Minister Modi
00:55:55Personally, an invitation might also be extended for Donald Trump to come and visit India for the Quad Summit
00:56:02We are now shifting gear and moving on to the big face-off between the Opposition and the Election Commission
00:56:11The vote-chory showdown between Rahul Gandhi and the Election Commission is only escalating with each passing day
00:56:17Sources have told India today, during the India block hurdle which was held at the Congress President Malik Arjun Kargay's residence
00:56:24Rahul Gandhi claimed that Congress party lost close to 70 seats by a margin of less than 50,000 votes
00:56:30He is also alleging that this is the same module that was being used in Bengaluru Central
00:56:35The party is now probing whether BJP victories were even genuine or not
00:56:40The BJP, however, has hit back
00:56:42They are accusing Rahul Gandhi of thinking that he is above the law
00:56:45And he is treating the Election Commission of India like the UPA Cabinet
00:56:49We are also talking about the government
00:56:56Rahul Gandhi has given the knowledge of the government
00:57:00Rahul Gandhi has given the knowledge of the public and the public
00:57:06The first reaction is that he must be aware of the government
00:57:09He must be aware of the government
00:57:11He must be aware of the government
00:57:14What is the issue of the court?
00:57:16And, if it's a private court, it's not like the court.
00:57:20If it's the court of the court, it's not like the court is going to be held.
00:57:24But they are not at all.
00:57:26So, the court's court court is on the court.
00:57:30But the court is for all the court.
00:57:33The court's court is a court.
00:57:35Supreme Court called Congress of the Court.
00:57:37That's the court court.
00:57:39That's the court of court.
00:57:41So, there are two of these court court courts.
00:57:44and we are saying that we will get the vote.
00:57:47We are sad that we are voting for the vote.
00:57:50We are voting for the vote.
00:57:52The government is not aware of it.
00:57:54We are not aware of this.
00:57:56People are voting for the vote.
00:57:59We are voting for the vote,
00:58:01and this is only one of the assembly.
00:58:03This is also 50 votes.
00:58:06If you think about the assembly,
00:58:09।
00:58:39It is true that it is true that it is true that it is true.
00:59:09Firstly, Mr. Rahul Gandhi is a firm believer that he is above the law of the nation.
00:59:19Secondly, Mr. Rahul Gandhi thinks that election commission is UPA cabinet, which is duty-bound
00:59:26to do what Mr. Rahul Gandhi will dictate them to do.
00:59:29Number three and most importantly, Mr. Rahul Gandhi, by not signing the oath and refusing
00:59:35to sign the oath the complaint to election commission has exposed himself the truth is
00:59:42mr rahul gandhi is well aware that under the indian law giving a false evidence and giving
00:59:48false declaration is a offense punishable with imprisonment now there's also the very curious
00:59:56case of shakundrani she's a bengaluru voter rahul gandhi is claiming that she has voted twice
01:00:01in fact she fact-checked the lok sabha leader of the opposition's claim she said that she only
01:00:07has one voter id and has only voted once listen in
01:00:10oh my god my name is barbara dikha raha ki merah face bhi dikha raha raha raha raha raha raha raha raha raha
01:00:40So if someone says that you have put your vote, then if someone understands that you have put your vote a thousand times on the press or on the TV, it will be true, then it will not be true.
01:00:53If we have put your vote one time, then that's all.
01:00:56My colleague Amit Bharadwaj is now joining me on the story.
01:00:59Amit, we are seeing barrage of claims and counterclaims.
01:01:02The Election Commission every day has been giving out data.
01:01:05The Congress Party, however, has been maintaining that there indeed is massive voter fraud that has been done from north to south, east to west.
01:01:18Right, Ashwarya, you know, in fact, the India bloc and the Congress Party is actually ready with a road map to build more pressure on the Election Commission of India as well as to create a narrative among the voters that your right to vote is under threat.
01:01:34If you would remember 2024 Lok Sabha battle, Rahul Gandhi was moving around the country, showing that book of the Constitution, saying that the Constitution itself is under threat.
01:01:43And now that narrative is focused on single line right to vote.
01:01:49That's under threat is the idea of the Congress Party, Rahul Gandhi, as well as India bloc.
01:01:54And now what is happening is that while you have a full proof plan for Bihar SIR, that Yatra, vote Adhikar Yatra will begin from 17th of August, will be led by Rahul Gandhi Tejasvi Yadav.
01:02:06What we are given to understand through our sources is that Rahul Gandhi actually held a conversation with his MPs where he has told them to review the Lok Sabha results and to look deeper into the trends of the Lok Sabha results.
01:02:20And near about 70 succeeds have been identified by the Congress Party in which the margin was less than 50,000.
01:02:27And Congress Party as well as Rahul Gandhi has asked, you know, to these areas and the state units to look deeper into the data of the result on these particular 70 seats to find out what could be the reason for the defeat of the Congress Party on those seats.
01:02:44And whether the allegations of voter fraud or electoral rule fraud that has been labelled by Rahul Gandhi, a similar trend, could be established on such seats as well.
01:02:53However, Sachin Pilot of the Congress Party, he did caution that, you know, not every candidate should try to put their failure to win the election, put the blame or pin the blame back on voter electoral irregularities in this context.
01:03:12Back to you.
01:03:12Thank you, Amit, for giving us all those details.
01:03:17Now, the political storm over Bihar's voter list took a very unexpected turn.
01:03:22There were allegations that a 124-year-old first-time voter named Minta Devi has now been debunked.
01:03:30What seems like a glaring case of voter fraud actually has been exposed as a clerical error.
01:03:35India Today travelled all the way to Siwan to get the facts in this case.
01:03:39Take a look at this report.
01:03:42The political storm over Bihar's voter list has taken yet another surprising twist.
01:04:03The opposition's protest was hard to miss at Parliament on Tuesday.
01:04:08Wearing white T-shirts that tread 124-0 out with a photograph of a woman named Minta Devi, India block alleged irregularities in the revised voter list by the EC.
01:04:18To investigate the truth behind the claim, India Today travelled to Siwan where Minta Devi is registered to vote.
01:04:26Our investigation revealed that Minta Devi, while very much alive, contrary to what has been claimed, is only 35 years old.
01:04:35Official documents show that the age discrepancy is not due to fraudulent intent, but due to a clerical error.
01:04:42Our husband Dhananjay Singh said that the issue has led to several disruptions in their lives.
01:05:08Minta Devi
01:05:38The controversy has spiraled into a political storm ahead of Bihar's high-stakes elections.
01:06:08Meanwhile, the BJP has slammed the opposition's protest, calling it political drama.
01:06:38For now, the Congress is all set to launch a national campaign of Vote Chor Gaddi Chor from the 14th of August.
01:06:50With the opposition refusing to bow down on the issue of vote theft, will this impact Bihar polls? Remains to be seen.
01:06:57With Alok Jaisfal from Siwan, Bureau Report, India Today.
01:07:38These are the alarming images, the alarming data that is now coming to the fore from the state of Karnataka.
01:07:47Close to 2.86 lakh dog bite cases just this year.
01:07:51That means almost in the past seven months we have seen these many dog bite cases.
01:07:5626 people have lost their lives because of dog bites from January to August 2025.
01:08:02My colleague Nagarjun Dwarkanath is with me on the story.
01:08:05Nagarjun, very alarming figures coming in from the state of Karnataka.
01:08:09The most unfortunate pass is the 26 deaths.
01:08:12That's the most unfortunate part.
01:08:13Well, that's true, Aishwarya.
01:08:16The data has been given out by the Health and Family Welfare Department of Karnataka on the dog bite deaths in Karnataka.
01:08:2326 dog bite deaths starting from January to August up till date.
01:08:28In the last eight months, Karnataka has reported 2.86 lakhs dog bites, not just in Bengaluru, but across Karnataka.
01:08:36And it's increased over the last year, is what the department is saying.
01:08:41Last year, at the same time, in August in 2024, the dog bites were at least 25 to 30 percent less.
01:08:48But this year, it's increased tremendously, is what the department data says.
01:08:522.86 lakhs in just eight months.
01:08:54At the end of December, by the end of the year, the state would be crossing 3.8 lakhs or almost 4 lakhs, is what the estimation is.
01:09:03And now, yesterday, the legislators, council meet also.
01:09:07Legislators from the opposition party raised this issue about how dog minutes has increased in Karnataka.
01:09:12And the government has to put an end to this, is what the discussion was.
01:09:15The government said that they would consult with the experts and then take a call.
01:09:19Thank you, Nagarjun, for giving us all those details.
01:09:23A call will very soon be taken in the state of Karnataka.
01:09:26Alarming data coming in from the state.
01:09:2826 people lost their lives between January and August this year because of dog bite.
01:09:37Just take a look at this figure.
01:09:3910 lakhs stray dogs and barely a handful of shelters.
01:09:43While the country at the moment is extremely divided over the Supreme Court's directive,
01:09:47the key question that still looms large, can the order even be implemented on the ground?
01:09:53How many required shelters actually exist and what is the condition?
01:09:57India Today did a ground check.
01:09:59Take a look at this report.
01:10:06In eight weeks, about 10 lakh dogs across Delhi and Sia are expected to be taken and into animal shelters.
01:10:14But where are these shelters?
01:10:16Do they even exist on paper?
01:10:19And are they equipped to take in lakhs and lakhs of stray dogs permanently?
01:10:24To answer these questions, India Today visited animal welfare centres run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi
01:10:30to assess their condition, only to find serious operational lapses.
01:10:35The animal birth control centre in Tughlaqabad is leased out to a Gujarat-based NGO
01:10:47that has previously faced suspension orders for illegal, irresponsible and cruel animal activities.
01:10:55Despite all irregularities and violation of animal birth control rules,
01:11:00the NGO managed to obtain the tender in Delhi.
01:11:03The operational challenges are very different from what it is written on paper.
01:11:12Ideally, an ABC centre should be running in the proper manner.
01:11:16The doctors should be present.
01:11:18And clearly, it shouldn't be shut down like the one that we see here right now.
01:11:23So I'll try my best to give you a glimpse from down of this centre that is in Tughlaqabad.
01:11:28These are the government-run ABC programmes that are done in the national capital.
01:11:33India Today also found the animal birth control unit in Lajpatnagar locked.
01:11:45The staff did not respond to repeated knocks and the gate remained shut.
01:11:50We are trying to get in touch with somebody to open the shelter for us,
01:11:56but it seems like the doors have been closed from inside at the moment.
01:12:01So this is the ground reality of shelters.
01:12:05First of all, there aren't many shelters that are run by the MCD for dogs.
01:12:09There are just these places where these are sterilisation centres that are run by the MCD.
01:12:16But even though this is the condition where a registered centre of the MCD
01:12:21is not even open at the time during the day per so.
01:12:26At the Masoodpur Sterilisation Centre in Vasanthkunj, the only doctor on duty was absent.
01:12:40Surgery entries were not shown.
01:12:42There was no record of when dogs had been brought in
01:12:45and the staff admitted that several dogs in the shelter had not yet undergone surgery.
01:12:51To pile on, the facility was unclean.
01:12:54There were no bathing facilities and food for the dogs was left uncovered.
01:13:01The situation seems to be deplorable because the entire centre needs a little bit organisation.
01:13:10There is no cleaning as such and there is staff shortage as well.
01:13:15You know, the condition here is that there are only fans
01:13:18and hardly one particular tube light that is also not functional.
01:13:24In the heaty months of the summers, this place must be really hot
01:13:31for these dogs to be kept out in the open like this.
01:13:36According to MCD sources, Delhi has no dedicated dog shelters
01:13:40and only 20 sterilisation centres with a combined capacity
01:13:44for about 2,500 dogs at a time.
01:13:47Experts say controlling the stray population requires sterilising at least 70% of dogs,
01:13:54a target unlikely to be met with existing systems.
01:13:59But with the Supreme Court's directive in place,
01:14:02they said they are obliged to follow orders despite the challenges.
01:14:06With Milan Sharma and Sreya Chatterjee in Delhi,
