Turkey Repays India's Fuel Debt By Crossing Kashmir Red Line At UNGA, Parrots Pakistan's Script

Turkey bought record diesel volumes from India in August as Russian supplies weakened and regional routes came under pressure. Kpler data cited by Reuters put the flow above 120,000 barrels per day, though another estimate was lower. Then Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised Kashmir at the UN General Assembly again publicly, urging dialogue under the UN Charter and relevant resolutions. India rejects that framing and any external intervention on Jammu and Kashmir. The present diesel flow is commercial trade, not humanitarian aid. But the contrast is politically sharp: Turkey draws on Indian refiners while maintaining deep defence and diplomatic ties with Pakistan. This video examines Ankaras fuel squeeze, Indias export opportunity, Erdogans Kashmir line and the uncomfortable question for New Delhi: when does a profitable fuel sale begin to ease pressure on a country acting against Indias strategic interests? It also revisits Indias Operation Dost help after Turkeys dire 2023 earthquake.

Will India-Pakistan themed Udta Teer release in UAE-GCC? Guneet Monga Kapoor BREAKS silence; Ayushmann Khurrana says, This is Indias FIRST patriotic comedy!

Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, producers Guneet Monga Kapoor, Achin Jain and Apoorva Mehta and director Aakash Kaushik attended the trailer of their film Udta Teer at a multiplex in Mumbai. The mediapersons were an annoyed lot as the event started 1 hours and 45 minutes late. However, Ayushmann apologized for the delay and said that he was stuck in heavy traffic. Ayushmann Khurrana assured that its a film like no other. He said, I don't think you can compare this movie to any other film because this is a genre bender for me. For me, it's India's first patriotic comedy! You have seen many spy films. This is a take on those spy films. Aisi film kabhi bani nahin hai. I even told Aakash, 'How did u think of this film?'. It's Aakash's brainchild and I loved working on the film. Ayushmann Khurrana continued, When you'll see the film, you'll realize that aap ne trailer mein kuch bhi nahin dekha. Every five minutes, new layers open up. We were struggling to cut a trailer, as we wondered kya rakhein aur kya nahin rakhein. This is just 20% of the film right now. UAE release? Often films based on the India-Pakistan relationship dont get a release in UAE-GCC countries. In recent times, movies like Gadar 2 (2023), Fighter (2024), Sky Force (2025), The Diplomat (2025), Article 370 (2024), Tiger 3 (2023), The Kashmir Files (2022), Dhurandhar (2025), Dhurandhar The Revenge (2026), etc. didnt get a release in all or several countries in the Middle East. A journalist asked producer Guneet Monga Kapoor whether fans of Ayushmann Khurrana and Soha Ali Khan in the UAE-GCC will get a chance to see Udta Teer? Guneet simply replied, It's going through the censors. Let's see! Udta Teer releases in cinemas on October 9.

Pakistan Coach Mike Hesson Eyes Up India Clash At Asian Games

Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson admitted Wednesday that his team has some catching up to do if they are to challenge arch-rivals India at the Asian Games. India's men have won back-to-back World Cups and are also defending champions at the Asian Games. Since Hesson took over in May last year Pakistan lost to India three times in the Asia Cup 2025 and once in this year's Twenty20 World Cup. India are the benchmark in terms of white ball cricket at the moment and our challenge is to catch up to that, said Hesson in Karachi ahead of the team's departure. The men's cricket at the Asian Games in Japan starts on Thursday. Pakistan and India have never met at the Games but are likely to face off in the semi-finals on October 1 in Nagoya. We are certainly preparing as best we can and if we get an opportunity to play (India) we will certainly put them under pressure like we did in the final of the Asia Cup, Hesson said of last year's final in Dubai. Pakistan will first meet the winners of Pool B -- comprising Hong Kong, Oman and Malaysia -- in the quarter-final on September 28. Hesson said Pakistan need to start well. There is a lot of cricket to be played between now and being able to play in the semi-final for both sides (Pakistan and India), so we are not getting too far ahead of ourselves, Hesson said. Pakistan have never won a medal in the Asian Games cricket, losing the bronze medal match in 2010 and 2023 while they did not compete in 2014.

India Calls Out Pakistan Over IWT Drama At The UN; Islamabad Finds Zero Support On Indus Waters

Pakistan has carried the Indus Waters Treaty fight to the United Nations, circulating a letter after the Hague-based Court of Arbitration ruled that the treaty remains in force. But India rejects that court as illegally constituted and says its pronouncements have no legal effect. New Delhi has also accused Islamabad of malicious propaganda, misrepresentation and falsehoods. The key point is this: Pakistan got a ruling, but it has not secured collective UN action or a public coalition behind its letter. No UNGA resolution. No Security Council move. No demonstrated diplomatic pressure that has changed Indias policy. Islamabad wants the water dispute separated from terrorism. India refuses. It says the treaty was put in abeyance after the Pahalgam attack and will remain so until Pakistan credibly ends support for cross-border terrorism.

ECI must not only be independent but also be seen to act independently: Justice Dipankar Datta

New Delhi, Sep 23 (PTI) If free and fair elections are to be ensured, it is axiomatic that the Election Commission of India (ECI) must not only be an independent body but also be seen to act independently, Supreme Court judge Justice Dipankar Datta said on Wednesday. Justice Datta headed a bench also comprising Justice Satish Chandra Sharma which gave split opinions on whether a batch of pleas challenging the validity of a 2023 law that excludes the CJI from the panel for selecting the chief election commissioner (CEC) and election commissioners (ECs) should be referred to a larger Constitution

Far-right gains in recent regional elections wont impact 'thriving' India-Germany ties: Envoy

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) German Ambassador to India Jasper Wieck on Wednesday said the electoral gains of the far-right in recent regional elections in his country would have o impact on the thriving Indo-German partnership, while dismissing concerns that the results could affect cooperation on migration, mobility, technology, development, or the EU-India Free Trade Agreement. We recently had regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Berlin, the capital of Germany. We have seen considerable gains for the far-right, particularly the Alternative for Germany (AfD). The central question that many of my Indian friends have asked me is whether these election results will have an impact on Indo-German relations. In particular, will they affect our cooperation on migration and mobility, technological cooperation, development cooperation, or the EU-India Free Trade Agreement? My answer is no. They will have no impact on our thriving Indo-German partnership, Wieck said at a press conference here. The far-right AfD won the state election in Saxony-Anhalt with a record 44.5 per cent of the vote, while the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by incumbent state leader Sven Schulze, suffered a heavy blow, plunging to 18.5 per cent, down from 37.1 per cent in 2021. In the 83-seat state parliament, the AfD is projected to secure 39 seats, three seats shy of an absolute majority needed to govern alone. The AfD's 35-year-old state lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund hailed the result, declaring that he people have sent a clear signal. On why the recent regional election results are unlikely to affect the India-Germany strategic partnership, Wieck said that Germanys federal policies are governed by the Constitution and federal legislation, while the election results did not give the AfD a majority in any of the three states to govern alone. First of all, our foreign policy, security policy, migration policy, and economic and trade policy are all conducted within the legal framework of our Constitution and federal legislation. Regional elections and regional governments, as well as the governments of individual states, do not have the authority to shape or determine these federal policies, he said. Secondly, if you take a closer look at the results of these elections, you will see that in none of the three states did the AfD achieve a majority that would allow it to govern alone. To the contrary, in all three cases, governments will continue to be formed through the established democratic and constitutional processes, he added. Highlighting the growing defence and security partnership between India and Germany, Wieck further said that the cooperation has developed tremendously over the past few years. I think it started with port visits by German naval vessels, including the Bayern, Frankfurt am Main and Rheinland-Pfalz. Since then, German naval vessels have continued to make port visits to India, and German maritime and air forces have participated in military exercises in India. Next week, Germany will participate in an Air Force exercise with India, with the German Air Force deploying an A400M aircraft, he added.
