'He Will Get Full Freedom From My Side': Patel On Pant's Delhi Capitals Return
Captain Axar Patel: Captain Axar Patel has expressed joy at the announcement of senior wicketkeeper batter and his friend Rishabh Pant returning to the Delhi Capitals franchise ahead of IPL 2027 and also assured that the Indian star will get full freedom from his side to perform without pressure.

Delhi Capitals team shared a video of Axar Patel welcoming Pant back to the team while also acknowledging the mutual understanding between the two stalwarts of the franchise. When he was here before, he was my captain, and he was leading me. At that time, we didn't have anything like 'I am the captain, I will tell you this and that'.

We had a mutual understanding of what he can do best in a particular situation and what he can't, Patel said in the video. As a friend and as a captain, I will tell him that he knows that he doesn't have any extra pressure from me or from the franchise. This is his own house; he has played here for many years. Delhi is his home, so I don't have to say much to him. I just know that he will get full freedom as a captain from my side, he added. Concluding his message, Patel said, Just enjoy yourself. Enjoy your character. Form is temporary, class is permanent. You are a player of that category. You have full freedom from our side. Just play your game and enjoy. This will be the message for him.

One of the franchise's defining faces for nearly a decade, he also captained the side in 43 matches across four seasons from 2021 to 2024. Concluding his message, Patel said, Just enjoy yourself.

India slams Pakistan for 'unwarranted' remarks on J&K at UNSC meeting
United Nations, June 24: India slammed Pakistan for making unwarranted remarks on Jammu and Kashmir at an informal UN Security Council meeting organised by Beijing and Islamabad, asserting that the union territory is a matter strictly internal to the country. India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish, made the remarks on Tuesday at an Arria-formula meeting of the Security Council on 'Bridging the Implementation Gap: Security Council Resolutions and the Maintenance of International Peace and Security'. I also refer to the unwarranted remarks made by the representative of Pakistan. It is incredible that a co-chair expected to be balanced and unbiased in conduct has chosen to politicise this forum, Harish said. I would only like to stress, for brevity of time, that the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is a matter strictly internal to India. It has always been, is, and will remain so, he said. Harish's remarks came after Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, raised the Jammu and Kashmir issue during his intervention at the meeting, which was organised by the Permanent Missions of Pakistan and China to the United Nations. Pakistan is currently serving an elected two-year term as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council (UNSC) for 2025 and 2026. India has consistently maintained that the entire Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of the country. Relations between India and Pakistan have remained strained over the Kashmir issue, with New Delhi firmly rejecting any third-party mediation and maintaining that Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter. Arria-formula meetings are informal and confidential gatherings that allow Security Council members and invited participants to exchange views in a flexible setting. The format is named after former Venezuelan ambassador Diego Arria, who initiated the practice in 1992. Elaborating on the broader subject under discussion, Harish said the UN Security Council is entrusted with the maintenance of international peace and security and that the UN Charter provides distinct mechanisms for addressing conflicts under Chapters VI and VII. He noted that these two Chapters are distinct in nature and their applicability varies. Harish said Chapter VII measures are aimed at maintenance or restoration of international peace and security in situations involving threats to peace, breaches of peace and acts of aggression, and their non-implementation could lead to serious consequences. Chapter VI, the envoy said, is fundamentally different and offers a wide-ranging set of options to deal with situations whose continuance is likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security. The proposed tools that could be considered include negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration after taking into account any procedures that may have already been adopted bilaterally by the parties concerned. These interventions are drawn up in order to address the prevailing realities and do not have perpetual validity. They warrant a review in accordance with changing circumstances and contexts, Harish said. Multi-decadal issues on the UNSC agenda offer valuable lessons in this regard. A case in point is the Palestine issue, wherein a defining feature is the constant churn of mediation frameworks in tune with the changing circumstances of the conflict. There exists an undeniable case for reviewing outdated mediation frameworks. Any assumption of the perpetual applicability of a Chapter VI mediation intervention is erroneous to say the least, he said. India also underlined that, as member states undertake reviews of UN General Assembly mandates under the UN80 initiative to improve efficiency, there is no reason why Security Council mandates should remain outside the scope of such reviews. India has long been pressing for permanent membership in a reformed and expanded Security Council, contending that the current structure of the 15-member body is outdated and does not adequately reflect contemporary global realities. New Delhi's candidature has received backing from a growing number of countries, including several European nations, as well as the other members of the G4 grouping Brazil, Germany and Japan. UNSC comprises five permanent members -- China, France, Russia, the UK and the US -- and 10 non-permanent members, including India, elected for two-year terms.
