THE Overseas Friends of BJP UK (OFBJPUK) Maharashtra and UP chapters hosted a celebration in East London to mark the victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in state elections.

More than 100 people from the Maharashtrian and UP diaspora in UK have attended the event.

The programme started with the traditional Jyot Prajwalan (lamp lighting) ceremony, a symbolic act to start the festivities. It was followed by a series of cultural performances showcasing the rich heritage of both states.

Youth members from the UP community displayed a solo dance, while performers from Maharashtra presented the iconic song "Jayosstute" by Veer Savarkar, paying tribute to the region’s cultural legacy.

Veteran leader Madhukar Ambekar, along with vice president Dr Anand Aarya and general secretary Suresh Mangalagiri have addressed the gathering. They shared their views on the BJP’s achievements and future vision, urging the audience to continue supporting the party’s work and contributing to its ongoing success.

The celebration highlighted the strong connection between the UK-based Indian diaspora and India’s political landscape, a statement said.

India won the brief conflict with Pakistan but lost the propaganda war

Nitin Mehta

After the dastardly killing of 25 Hindus by terrorists in Pahalgam, India delivered a devastating blow to Pakistan. It sent the message that India will not tolerate terrorist attacks anymore. However, India seems to have lost the propaganda war. In any battle, propaganda plays a huge role.

There are two interpretations of how the brief conflict was suddenly brought to a close. The Indian interpretation is that the Pakistani commanders urged India to stop the conflict and India agreed. This in itself raises some crucial questions. If the enemy is urging you to stop, why would you? Certainly the great Chanakya's response would be to take full advantage of the enemy's weakness. Did India get any cast-iron guarantees that Pakistan will stop state-sponsored terrorist attacks? Did India ask for the immediate release of Sudhir Kulbushan Yadav who is in a Pakistani jail for nine years on false spying charges?
