MahaYuti Maha crack widens as BJP plans to go solo in local body election
MUMBAI: In what could send its partners in Maharashtras Mahayuti government, Shiv Sena and NCP, into a tizzy, the BJP is working on a plan to contest the upcoming local body elections in Maharashtra independently. The BJPs idea reportedly is to expand its footprint in the state by having no truck with its allies. Union Home Minister Amit Shah met senior party leaders during his recent tour to Mumbai, where this decision was reportedly taken. Eknath Shinde of the Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar of the Nationalist Congress Party are deputy chief ministers in the Devendra Fadnavis-led government. Elections have been due for the last two to four years in more than 27 municipal corporations, including Asias richest civic body the BMC. The Supreme Court recently asked the state election commission to conduct the local body elections within the next four months and requested that it declare the schedule as well. In Thane, where Shinde has influence, the BJP will be the Senas primary opponent. The saffron party will contest against Ajit Pawars NCP in the Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad regions. Sources said the meeting chaired by Shah underscored that the Mahayuti alliance should not restrict the BJPs growth in Maharashtra. They explained the rationale behind the move: BJP is the national party. The local body elections are the right platform and moment to expand the partys footprint and strengthen its network. Going solo in local body elections will serve as a dress rehearsal and help the BJP prepare for the 2029 assembly elections on its own. The argument was that the BJP is the single largest party with 132 MLAs in the 288-member assembly and will not need the help of alliance partners to return to power in 2029.

Pakistan violated spirit of IWT by inflicting three wars, thousands of terror attacks on India
UNITED NATIONS: India ripped through Pakistan's disinformation at the UN on the Indus Waters Treaty, asserting that Islamabad violated its spirit by inflicting three wars and thousands of terror attacks on India that seek to hold hostage lives of civilians, religious harmony and economic prosperity. We are constrained to respond to the disinformation being carried out by the delegation of Pakistan with regard to the Indus Waters Treaty. India has always acted in a responsible manner as an upper riparian state, India's Permanent Representative to UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said on Friday. Harish was addressing the UN Security Council Arria Formula meeting organised by the Permanent Mission of Slovenia on Protecting Water in Armed Conflict Protecting Civilian Lives. Harish highlighted four aspects to expose the disinformation by Pakistan, which spoke about India's decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty. Indus Water Treaty will be held in abeyance until Pakistan 'irrevocably' stops cross-border terrorism: EAM Jaishankar In the wake of the horrific April 22 Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir in which 26 civilians were killed, India had decided that the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 would be held in abeyance with immediate effect until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism. Harish told the UN meeting that India had entered into the Indus Waters Treaty 65 years ago in good faith. Noting that the Preamble of the Treaty describes that it was concluded in a spirit of good will and friendship', Harish said throughout these six and a half decades, Pakistan has violated the spirit of the treaty by inflicting three wars and thousands of terror attacks on India. The Indian envoy underlined that in the last four decades, more than 20,000 Indian lives have been lost in terror attacks, the most recent of which was the dastardly targeted terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam. Even as India has shown extraordinary patience and magnanimity throughout this period, Harish said Pakistan's state-sponsored cross-border terrorism in India seeks to hold hostage the lives of civilians, religious harmony and economic prosperity. Harish pointed out that India has formally asked Pakistan to discuss the modifications of the Treaty on several occasions in the past two years but Islamabad continues to reject these. India's water used to go outside; will now be utilised for country: PM Modi on Indus Water Treaty abeyance Pakistan's obstructionist approach continues to prevent the exercise of full utilisation of legitimate rights by India, he said. Further, Harish said that in the past 65 years, far-reaching fundamental changes have taken place not only in terms of escalating security concerns through cross-border terror attacks but also growing requirements for producing clean energy, climate change and demographic change. Technology for dam infrastructure has transformed to ensure the safety and efficiency of operations and water use. Some of the old dams are facing serious safety concerns, he said adding that Pakistan has continued to consistently block any changes to this infrastructure, and any modifications of the provisions, which is permissible under the Treaty. He noted that in 2012, terrorists even attacked the Tulbul Navigation Project in Jammu and Kashmir. These cynical acts continue to endanger the safety of our projects and the lives of civilians. It is against this backdrop that India has finally announced that the treaty will be in abeyance until Pakistan, which is a global epicentre of terror, credibly and irrevocably ends its support for cross-border terrorism. It is clear that it is Pakistan which remains in violation of the Indus Waters Treaty. EXPLAINER | Indus Waters Treaty: Why India wants to re-negotiate the 65-year-old pact after Pahalgam massacre Earlier in the day, Harish delivered a strong response to Pakistan at a UNSC open debate on Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict', calling out Pakistan's grossly hypocritical behaviour and asserting that a nation that makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians has no credentials to speak about protecting civilians. After Pakistan's Ambassador at the UN Asim Iftikhar Ahmad raked the Kashmir issue and spoke about the recent conflict between the two nuclear-armed countries, Harish slammed Pakistan's baseless allegations and said India experienced decades of Pakistani-sponsored terrorist attacks across its borders. This has ranged from the horrific 26/11 attack on the city of Mumbai to the barbaric mass murder of innocent tourists in Pahalgam in April 2025. The victims of Pakistani terrorism have been predominantly civilians since its objective has been to attack our prosperity, progress and morale. For such a nation to even participate in a discussion on the protection of civilians is an affront to the international community, Harish said. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives. India launched Operation Sindoor' under which it carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7, following which Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10. The Indian side responded strongly to the Pakistani actions. The on-ground hostilities ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions following talks between the directors general of military operations of both sides on May 10. Harish told the UN Security Council that Pakistan has repeatedly used civilian cover to advance the cause of terrorism. INTERVIEW | Renegotiate Indus Waters Treaty: Former CWC chairman

UNITED NATIONS: India called out Pakistan's grossly hypocritical behaviour at the UN Security Council, saying a nation that makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians has no credentials to speak about protecting civilians as Delhi highlighted that the Pakistani Army deliberately shelled Indian border villages earlier this month killing civilians and intentionally targeted places of worship. I am constrained to respond to the baseless allegations of the representative of Pakistan on a number of issues, India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Parvathaneni Harish said Friday. Harish was addressing the UNSC open debate on 'Addressing emerging threats, ensuring safety of civilians, humanitarian and UN Personnel, journalists and media professionals and enhancing accountability mechanisms' under the agenda item 'Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict'. Earlier, Pakistan's Ambassador at the UN Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, in his remarks at the debate, raked the Kashmir issue and spoke about the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. In a strong response, Harish said India has experienced decades of Pakistani sponsored terrorist attacks across our borders. This has ranged from the horrific 26/11 attack on the city of Mumbai to the barbaric mass murder of innocent tourists in Pahalgam in April 2025. The victims of Pakistani terrorism have been predominantly civilians, since its objective has been to attack our prosperity, progress and morale. For such a nation to even participate in a discussion on protection of civilians is an affront to the international community, Harish said. He added that Pakistan has repeatedly used civilian cover to advance the cause of terrorism. We just recently saw senior government, police and military officials pay respects at the funeral of noted terrorists targeted by Operation Sindoor. A nation that makes no distinction between terrorists and civilians has no credentials to speak about protecting civilians, he said. Further, India told the Security Council that earlier this month, the Pakistani Army deliberately shelled Indian border villages killing more than 20 civilians and injuring more than 80. There was intentional targeting of places of worship, including gurudwaras, temples and convents, as well as medical facilities. To preach at this body after such behaviour is grossly hypocritical. Let us be clear Protection of civilians should not serve as an argument for protection of UN-designated terrorists. The international community must come together on zero tolerance for terrorism and calling out those who sponsor and defend it, Harish said. He stressed that the international community should not ignore the adverse impacts of all forms of terrorism, including those emanating from across borders in the debate on protection of civilians. It is needless to mention that, the terror entities have significantly enhanced their capabilities by gaining access to new and emerging technologies which present us with new threats, particularly to the civilian populations. In this regard, the efforts of the Council and of the international community should be directed at assisting national authorities in developing capabilities and capacities to protect civilians, he said. Harish said it is unfortunate that parties to the armed conflicts continue to attack civilian population particularly women, children, and other vulnerable groups, as well as indispensable civilian infrastructure such as hospitals by projecting them as legitimate targets. Regrettably, during armed conflict civilians, including women and children, are used as human shields for military operations and terrorist activities. Therefore, it is paramount that the international community resolves to take concrete actions towards the implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions that have been previously adopted, he said. India underscored that any attack on civilians and humanitarian workers is a grave violation of International Law, in particular International Humanitarian Law. The existing legal framework concerning the protection of civilians cannot be overlooked. Respect for principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty and territorial integrity of Member States, should remain the basis for all actions taken by the Council for the protection of civilians. A politically motivated decision to intervene, in an armed conflict situation may have, devastating consequences, including to the civilian population and therefore must be prevented. Furthermore, any intervention must be proportionate and based on credible and verified threat perception, he said. Harish said the Council and the international community must take necessary measures to ensure effective and timely protection of civilians, including their life, dignity and rights. The core principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence must continue to guide the operations of all humanitarian agencies and organisations, he said.
