In a remarkable demonstration of military efficiency, the Indian Army conducted Operation Keller on May 13, 2025, eliminating three militants in Jammu and Kashmir’s Shopian district. The operation, motivated by actionable intelligence provided by a Rashtriya Rifles company, commenced with a cordon-and-search operation in the Shukroo Keller area, after preliminary action in the adjacent Kulgam district. Things took a turn for the worse when terrorists fired at security forces, who returned fire in a fierce encounter that ended in their elimination. The Indian Army, posting on X, called the operation a focused attempt to disrupt hardcore militant networks, with efforts continuing to secure the area. This engagement demonstrates the army’s unrelenting commitment to combating terrorism, especially in the face of increased regional tensions. Operation Keller not only disrupted potential threats but also reinforced India’s resolve to maintain peace and stability in Jammu and Kashmir, showcasing the bravery and coordination of its security forces. The success of this mission resonates as a testament to the military’s readiness to act swiftly and decisively, ensuring the safety of citizens in a volatile landscape.

3. Modi’s Bold Anti-Terror Declaration at Adampur Air Base Redefines India’s Stance 
   

On May 13, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid an unscheduled early-morning visit to Adampur Air Force Station, 25 km from Jalandhar, addressing a rousing speech to air force personnel who were instrumental in Operation Sindoor. Institute for Counter-Terrorism Studies Launched on May 7 to attack terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people, the operation defined a new era in India’s counter-terrorism policy. Modi defined India’s “Laxman Rekha” against terrorism, which entails three non-negotiable positions: an offensive response to any attack, rejection of nuclear blackmail, and no distinction between terrorists and their state patrons.

He praised the air force’s 20-minute precision strikes, backed by sophisticated systems such as the S-400 and Akash missiles, that destroyed terror infrastructure while repelling Pakistani drones and missiles. Modi decried Pakistan’s strategy of employing civilian aircraft as shields, hailing Indian forces for their restraint and professionalism. The address, charged with patriotic emotion, drew on India’s history of resilience, invoking Gautam Buddha and Guru Gobind Singh, and hailed the military’s technological might. Operation Sindoor, Modi announced, has set India on the global stage, marking a new, unapologetic orientation to national security that is being heard around the globe.

4. UK’s Starmer Unveils Aggressive Immigration Crackdown 
   

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer revealed a full-scale immigration reform on May 12, 2025, intending to reduce net migration by around 100,000 per year following a post-Brexit high of 728,000 (Office for National Statistics). The reforms lengthen the residency requirement for citizenship from five to ten years, make visa and English language regulations stricter, and abolish the Adult Social Care visa route to counter exploitation. Overseas students will enjoy an 18-month post-graduation working period (reduced from two years), with a suggested 6% levy on their course fees possibly increasing study prices. A 32% rise in the Immigration Skills Charge for foreign workers will pay for domestic training, with new legislation discouraging illegal immigration. Starmer’s vision stresses social cohesion, urging Britain not to become “an island of strangers.” The policies, out for consultation, seek a balance between economic contributions and public mood, remodeling the UK’s immigration system for a future that is sustainable.

In a historic verdict, a Coimbatore court jailed nine men for life on May 13, 2025, for their involvement in the gruesome 2019 Pollachi sexual assault case, bringing justice to survivors and giving a stern message against gender violence. The convicted accused were charged with criminal conspiracy, sexual harassment, rape, gang rape, and extortion and targeted college girls from 2016 to 2018, blackmailing them to silence victims. The case surfaced following a 19-year-old student’s brave complaint, leading to an investigation that revealed a network of barbaric crimes. Judge Nandini Devi, who was hearing the case at the Women’s Court, ordered ₹85 lakh compensation for the eight survivors, taking note of their ordeal and resilience. Among the convicted are N Rishwanth, K Thirunavukkarasu, and others, who are accused under harsh sections of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code.

Pronounced under heightened security in Pollachi, the verdict marks a triumph for justice, with the accused planning an appeal to the Madras High Court, while survivors and advocates celebrate a step toward accountability.

7. India Expels Pakistani Diplomat Amid Diplomatic Tensions 
   

On May 13, 2025, India’s Ministry of External Affairs took a firm stand by declaring a Pakistani official at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi “persona non grata” for engaging in activities deemed incompatible with diplomatic protocol. The official was instructed to leave India within 24 hours, with a formal demarche delivered to Pakistan’s Charge d’Affaires. The ministry statement referenced behavior incompatible with the official’s position, suggesting possible espionage or other transgressions. This action, framed against the combustible India-Pakistan relationship, reflects India’s dedication to upholding national security and diplomatic integrity. The ouster further tightens bilateral ties, evincing the difficulties of diplomacy in an area characterized by constant conflicts and distrust.

8. India Retaliates Against US Tariffs with Imposed Duties on American Products 
   

As a calculated reaction to US trade policies, India suggested higher tariffs on some American products on May 12, 2025, its initial retaliatory action against US steel and aluminum duties imposed in March. A World Trade Organization submission detailed India’s plan to compensate $7.6 billion worth of impacted exports but stopped short of naming specific items. The US, during the presidency of Donald Trump, imposed 25% tariffs and a threatened 26% tit-for-tat tariff on Indian products, drawing India into action from restraint. At the same time, both are negotiating a trade agreement with an eye to finishing by autumn with India proposing to narrow its tariff imbalance considerably. India’s own 12% duties on steel imports aimed at low-cost Chinese goods mirror its overall trade policy. The escalation highlights the intricacies of international trade, striking a balance between retaliation and diplomacy as India makes its economic presence felt.
