Farmers will teach Modi Govt a lesson if it behaves like Hitler's government: Dinesh Gundu Rao
Bengaluru: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao issued a stern warning to the Modi government, stating that farmers would undoubtedly teach the government a lesson if it continues to behave like Hitler's regime. He emphasised the gravity of the situation, noting that each farmer's death resulting from the government's crackdown on protesters will be like the final nail on its coffin.
Expressing deep concern over the use of force against protesting farmers, Gundu Rao criticised the BJP-led government in Haryana for resorting to tear gas against farmers demanding their rights, leading to the tragic death of one farmer. He condemned the central government for treating the farmers' peaceful struggle as a rebellion, urging for patience and understanding in addressing their legitimate grievances.
The minister strongly criticised the government's aggressive measures, such as building walls and using tear gas, and questioned the Prime Minister's apparent indifference to the farmers' plight. He stressed on the point that such actions are unbecoming of a democratically elected government and unprecedented in the treatment of farmers in the country's history.

IAF to hold 2-day wargame along frontier with Pakistan: NOTAM issued
New Delhi, May 6 (PTI): The Indian Air Force will carry out a two-day mega military exercise along the border with Pakistan from Wednesday that will involve all the frontline fighter jets including Rafale, Su-30 and Jaguar aircraft, sources in the defence establishment said on Tuesday.
The exercise is taking place amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan over the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people.
India's civil aviation authorities have already issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) for the major air exercise that will largely take place along the southern and western section of the Indo-Pakistan border.
India's frontline fighter jets including the Rafale, Su-30 MKI, MiG-29, Mirage-2000, Tejas and AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) aircraft are set to feature in the exercise, the sources said.
In the course of the exercise, the IAF will simulate enemy targets on ground and in the air with deadly precision, they said.
The militaries of both India and Pakistan are on a high alert following rising tensions between the two nations.
Soon after the Pahalgam terror attack, India, citing "cross-border linkages" to the strike, promised severe punishment to those involved in it.
In a high-level meeting with the top defence brass on April 29, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the armed forces have "complete operational freedom" to decide on the mode, targets and timing of India's response to the terror attack.
Air Chief Marshal A P Singh met Prime Minister Modi on Sunday and the Chief of Air Staff briefed him about the IAF's operational readiness.
On Saturday, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi apprised the prime minister on the overall situation in the critical sea lanes in the Arabian Sea.
