Chinese warplanes and drones are increasing in Tibetan base!

No 'adverse incident' of airspace violation has been reported yet. However, after the December 9 night clashes along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, the movement of People's Liberation Army (PLA) warplanes and drones in China-occupied Tibet has suddenly increased. For the past few days, various sources in the Ministry of Defense and the Army have been reporting on the 'activity' of the Chinese Air Force. This time the evidence was also found in the satellite images taken by Maxar (satellite mapping company). The satellite image shows Sukhoi Su-35 (NATO-named '2X Flanker') fighter jets, Su-30 MKI fighter jets, drones as well as sophisticated AWAX (Airborne Early Warning and Control System) reconnaissance aircraft at the Changdu Bangda Air Base in occupied Tibet.

'Chullu Bhar Pani mein Doob maare': Union Minister Giriraj Singh ATTACKS Rahul Gandhi

Union Minister Giriraj Singh has targeted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi. He said, "Chullu Bhar Pani mein Doob maare Rahul Gandhi. He is insulting Indian soldiers. Rahul knows neither the geography nor the history of the country. Rahul's maternal grandfather, Nehru, gave thousands of kilometers of land to China. Today, under Modi's regime, soldiers answer by looking eye to eye. Then whether it is Galwan or Tawang. Xi Jinping knows Modi, so he does not dare to enter. If Modi knows friendship, he also knows how to answer. The world is praising PM Modi. The CIA is saying that there is no nuclear war in Russia-Ukraine because of India and Rahul is criticizing it."

'BJP bidding crores to buy AAP MLAs, BUT...': Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann makes SENSATIONAL claim

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has said that the BJP is bidding crores to buy MLAs of Aam Aadmi Party but none of the MLAs is ready to sell. He said in the party meeting in Delhi on Sunday that the BJP bid crores for AAP MLAs in Goa but none was sold. AAP MLAs of Punjab also turned them away empty-handed. The Chief Minister sarcastically said that the Congress had not yet been able to form its cabinet in Himachal Pradesh. After forming the government, if this party takes so much time, the BJP will get a chance to sabotage it.
