Intelligence agencies fear that 15-20 terrorists may have crossed over to the Indian side in Punjab to launch terror strikes in the state, Delhi and other parts of the country.

Sources told Zee Media that the group has been trained by Pakistan’s notorious spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. The terrorists were given arms training in PoK and other locations in Pakistan under the guidance of India’s most wanted terrorist Hafiz Saeed.

As per the input, ISI officials held meeting in PoK with various Pakistan based terrorist group like Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Hizbul Mujahideen and Sikh terror groups like Babbar Khalsa International and Khalistan Zindabad Force to fine tune the terror strategy.

ISI has also reportedly issued funds and asked them to strengthen their coordination.

The Sikh terror groups have also played a key role in the plan as they have helped the terrorists get acquainted with Sikh traditions and gurmukhi script.

Khalistan Zindabad Force chief Ranjeet Singh @neeta over saw the two-month long training near Gurudwara Kartarpur Sahib, the report added.

The group was also briefed about the topography of Punjab.

The report said that the group may have already entered Punjab or may enter in near future to carry out terrorist activities..

To aid in the sinister plan, a consignment of arms and ammunition was reportedly to be sent from J&K side by concealing them in cavities created in chasis of trucks going from J&K to Punjab.

In a bid to end all speculations about his whereabouts, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, Monday, tweeted a picture of his attending the Aspen conference in the US.

The tweet from his official Twitter handle @OfficeOfRG read: “Very interesting discussions on the global economy & the disruptive power of tech at the conference in Aspen.”

The Congress has been insisting that Rahul Gandhi has gone to the US to attend a conference ‘Weekend with Charlie Rose’ at Aspen Institute in Colorado where thought leaders from different walks of life like politics, finance, technology, media, medicine, sports etc gather to deliberate on multiple issues.

The BJP mocked at the Congress’ explanation, Party spokesperson Sambit Patra said the Congress leader was an “expert without knowledge”.

Taking a dig at Rahul, Patra said it may be a “forced vacation” as, according to him, allies JD(U) and RJD wanted him out of the Bihar poll campaign.

Patra’s colleague GVL Narasimha Rao said, “Weekend with Charlie Rose was held between June 25 and July 4. “Is Rahul Gandhi travelling back in time?”

In a scathing counter attack on the Congress after it questioned Prime Minister’s tears for his mother, the BJP on Monday dubbed Sonia Gandhi as a doting mother who spoilt her son, Rahul Gandhi.

“Judging by the Congress’ reaction to the Prime Minister’s superb visit, which is still underway, it seems the Congress has become the voice of untruth, malice and utter frustration,” BJP spokesperson MJ Akbar said.

“It seems to have become a party trapped in an inept leadership which is unable to bear the site of India’s Prime Minister raising the prestige and prosperity of the nation,” he said.

“Their frustration is also evident in the huge positive response that Prime Minister has generated from the giants of intellect and innovation; from the leaders of the future who can see another leader of future in their midst,” Akbar said.

“It is perhaps both significant and revealing that the Congress chose to get personal in an extremely appalling manner.”

Attacking the first family of the Congress, Akbar said, “The Prime Minister is devoted to his mother, he touched her feet after the election victory. This is in quote contrast to the Congress where a mother has ruined the party and is trying to ruin the nation by her utter devotion to her completely inept son.”

“It is this doting behaviour which has made Rahul Gandhi into the spoilt child of Indian politics. Instated of hiding underground somehow in the US and posting highly nebulous pictures of some alleged conference it might have been a better idea if Shri Rahul Gandhi had come out and explained what he is doing, unless, off course, he is enjoying an undeserved holiday,” he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Monday, took a dig at Congress president’s son-in-law Robert Vadra while stressing that the NDA has provided graft-free governance.

Addressing the Indian community at the packed SAP Centre in San Jose, California, Modi said, “In our country it doesn’t take much for allegations to come up against politicians… Someone made 50 crores, someone’s son made 250 crores, (someone’s) daughter made 500 crores, (someone’s) damaad (son-in-law) made 1000 crores…”

Switching on to a question answer mode, he asked the audience “Is the country not disappointed?” The people replied “yes”.

“Is there not anger against corruption,” he asked. “Yes,” people shouted.

Modi then asked, “I am standing before you. Tell me if there is any allegation against me.” “No,” people shouted.

He then told the crowd that he is giving every minute of his life in the service of the nation and he would live and die for the country.

While Modi’s reference to sons and daughters of politicians being corrupt is seen as a reference to culture of corruption in the country, the reference to son-in-law is seen as a barb at alleged land deals entered into by Vadra with the some state governments.
