In a seething attack on Modi govt during Lok Sabha debate on Operation Sindoor & Pahalgam, the DMK MP raised ThePrint's newsbreak on the Pakistan link to 22 April massacre.
Pahalgam satellite image orders spiked at Colorado-based Maxar Technologies just two months before the terrorist attack. Even after the 2020 complaint, BSI moved from being Maxar's customer to partner in 2023.
In 2023, the same year Obaidullah Syed’s sentence concluded, BSI Pakistan was enlisted as a partner by Maxar Technologies. Subsequently, orders for high-resolution satellite images of Pahalgam began appearing on Maxar's portal.
Hours after ThePrint revealed that Maxar had been receiving orders for high-resolution satellite images of Pahalgam, including 10 days before the attack, the company removed the Pakistani firm from its website.
Maxar Technologies began receiving orders for high-resolution satellite images of Pahalgam in June 2024, just months after a Pakistani geospatial firm indicted by the US became a partner.
Opposition parties are fixated on the argument that the government has deliberately removed MK Gandhi’s name from the Act. The real provisions in the Bill are barely being discussed.
RBI Handbook of Statistics shows state’s GSDP has more than doubled in past decade, finishing second behind Maharashtra. It has performed well across health & education parameters as well.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
