US media reports state that after boarding Air Force One in Turkey, President Trump was secretly whisked away to another military aircraft, hidden inside a food truck, following intelligence regarding a “credible security threat” to his official plane.

According to a *Washington Post* report from Monday, Trump publicly boarded Air Force One last month in Ankara amidst a media presence. Subsequently, he and a few key aides boarded a catering truck positioned near the aircraft’s door.

*The New York Times* reported that Trump was transferred from the food truck—which was connected to the lower section of the aircraft—into a car. From there, he was taken to a smaller C-32A military jet.

Citing unnamed officials, both newspapers reported that Trump and some close aides traveled to the Mildenhall Air Force Base in Britain on this military jet. There, they boarded a plane gifted by Qatar to continue the next leg of the journey back to the United States.

Meanwhile, other officials and journalists aboard Air Force One arrived in Britain on the original aircraft and rejoined Trump for the subsequent part of the trip; they were unaware that Trump had switched planes.

Journalists on board the aircraft recounted being instructed to keep the window shades closed during the flight.

The White House has neither confirmed nor denied these reports. However, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung indicated that there were security challenges during the President’s trip, necessitating special arrangements.

He stated, “As the President has recently said, America has many enemies who wish to target him, and we utilize every resource at our disposal to counter those threats.”

A similar incident occurred while returning from the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8.

Trump was using a plane gifted by Qatar for the trip to Ankara—an aircraft whose lavish and luxurious amenities he frequently praised. However, the Secret Service and other security agencies believed that the hasty technical modifications made to the plane did not provide the same level of security as the older Air Force One aircraft.

Consequently, Trump was transferred to the older Air Force One, and the Qatari plane was sent to Britain. He was subsequently transported in a military jet.

Trump had claimed that he sent the Qatari plane to Britain because US military personnel stationed there wanted to see the aircraft.

However, reports suggest the real reason was “credible threats” that security agencies had become aware of. It was reported that the Qatari plane lacked the anti-missile defense systems and special wiring to protect against electromagnetic attacks that are standard on the older Air Force One aircraft.

It appears that the Secret Service and other security officials later concluded that even the older Air Force One was not sufficiently secure. Therefore, the decision was made to secretly transport Trump in a military jet—a variant of the Boeing 757 that lacks the opulent amenities Trump is known to favor.

When *The New York Times* published a report citing officials regarding the security flaws of the Qatari-gifted plane, the US Department of Justice issued subpoenas to the reporters and their relatives—and even to a journalist’s mother—demanding access to their phones. Defending these unusual subpoenas, officials stated that the aim was to identify individuals who had leaked confidential information—actions they claimed had jeopardized national security. The subpoenas were subsequently withdrawn following mounting criticism.

The allegations regarding the information leak indirectly validated the very security concerns that Trump and officials had previously denied in earlier reports.

Trump stated that the aircraft is being taken out of service to undergo extensive technical upgrades.

Both the existing Air Force One aircraft and the plane provided by Qatar—which is slated to serve as a future Air Force One—are different variants of the Boeing 747.

Speaking at the weekly press briefing on Tuesday, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “These so-called local elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir are a complete sham. The reality on the ground is marked by public protests and brutal killings by Pakistani forces. Such hollow claims are far removed from reality.”

Highlighting the consequences of Pakistan’s repressive policies used to quell protests in PoK, Jaiswal stated, “Since June, 90 people have been killed and many more injured in the ongoing public protests there. The ruling establishment has responded to public discontent with bullets, communication blackouts, repression, and intimidation.”

He urged the global community to clearly see through Pakistan’s hypocritical facade. He added, “Pakistan is now attempting to create an illusion of legitimacy through this hollow electoral exercise. It must be held accountable for this. The world community needs to look beyond the mask of Pakistan’s hypocritical lectures on human rights and see the reality.”

The firing by Pakistani security forces and the repressive actions against protesters in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) have drawn global attention. The protests, led by the Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAAC), began on June 5. Responding to a question regarding Pakistan’s activities that foster cross-border terrorism, Jaiswal said, “Everyone witnessed the kind of response we gave them during Operation Sindoor. We urge all nations to take strict action against cross-border terrorism and those who abet it. We also call upon Pakistan to take stringent measures against cross-border terrorism and dismantle the terror infrastructure operating from its soil.”

Opposition MPs including Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra protested in the Parliament complex regarding the Ram temple offering issue. The opposition alleges that transparency should be ensured in this matter and the government should respond to the allegations.

On the results of Bankipur and Datia by-elections, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that the public is now tired of BJP and is understanding the circumstances of the country. Describing these election results as a positive beginning for the opposition, he said that the public inclination will become more clear in the coming times.

Congress MP Pawan Kheda said on the results of recent Bankipur and Datia by-elections that the public has given a clear message to the Bharatiya Janata Party. According to him, voters have indicated that they want change and its impact on national politics will be visible in the times to come.

Congress MP Imran Masood criticized the government on the Madrasa controversy in Uttar Pradesh. He said that Madrassas and Ulemas have made an important contribution in the country’s freedom struggle. He said that history should not be distorted and the sacrifices made in the freedom struggle should be respected.

Congress MP Ranjit Ranjan, while referring to the sexual harassment case involving wrestlers, said that the fight for justice is not over yet. He said that if the aggrieved party approaches the High Court, Congress will stand with them. He described this entire incident as an important issue related to women’s safety and justice.

On the issue of disruption of Parliament proceedings, Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said that the country needs a smoothly running Parliament. He alleged that the issues being raised by the opposition are important and related to public interest, but instead of considering their demands, the government is adopting a harsh attitude.

He said there should be accountability in cases of use of force during peaceful protests and the government should seriously consider the opposition’s concerns.

On the results of Bankipur by-election, Congress MP Tariq Anwar said that this result is quite shocking, because this seat was considered a strong stronghold of BJP for a long time.

He said that this seat remained under the influence of BJP for the last two decades, but this time the voters have decided for a change. He called it a sign of the changing political attitude of the public.

Tariq Anwar also expressed concern about the proceedings of Parliament. He said that the government does not seem ready to discuss important and complex national issues. He said that the role of the opposition is equally important in democracy and if the opposition does not get an opportunity to present its views then the effectiveness of the Parliament will be affected.

Amidst the din and slogan-shouting by opposition members in the House, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also introduced the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill for consideration. This bill proposes amendments to the Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007, the Income Tax Act, 2025, and the Finance Act, 2026.

Proceedings in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were disrupted multiple times on Tuesday due to protests by the opposition. Opposition MPs staged demonstrations within the Parliament complex over various issues. Key among these were alleged irregularities in Ram Mandir donations, police action against protesters during a ‘Parliament March’ on July 20, and the Cauvery water dispute.

Due to the continuous uproar and deadlock, Lok Sabha proceedings had to be adjourned repeatedly, and the House was eventually adjourned for the day. The Lok Sabha will now reconvene on Wednesday at 11 AM.

A day earlier, on Monday, the Lok Sabha had passed a bill to increase the sanctioned strength of judges in the Supreme Court without a discussion, amidst opposition protests.

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the opposition of repeatedly disrupting parliamentary proceedings. The party alleges that the opposition is deliberately obstructing the House’s work, thereby affecting important legislative business.

The BJP stated that the Congress and its allies are preventing discussions on crucial issues in Parliament, denying elected representatives the opportunity to raise matters of public importance. It is noteworthy that the opposition has been continuously targeting the central government during the Monsoon Session over the NEET paper leak controversy and the police action against protesters at Jantar Mantar on July 20.

Opposition parties are demanding a response from the Union Home Minister on these issues and have also been raising the matter of alleged “firing” at protesters in Parliament.

Discussions on important bills and issues of public interest are being hampered by the ongoing deadlock in both Houses of Parliament, while the standoff between the government and the opposition shows no signs of ending for now.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Modi said that a shared commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and multilateralism makes India and Norway natural partners. The two countries also exchanged views on issues related to West Asia and global tensions.

PM Modi said, “I am delighted to be attending the India-Nordic Summit today. I thank the President for convening this summit. I welcome all Nordic leaders to this summit. Our shared commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and multilateralism makes us natural partners. Eight years ago, we established this format to energize and accelerate our relations with the Nordic countries.”

He said, “I am very pleased that we have made significant progress in our relations over the past few years. Our bilateral trade has quadrupled in 10 years. Investment funds from Nordic countries are also becoming important partners in India’s rapid growth. Investment from Nordic countries in India has increased by almost 200 percent in the last decade. India’s growth story has contributed to rapidly growing trade and investment, and has also played a very positive role in the economies of the Nordic countries, creating thousands of new jobs. Building on this strong foundation, we have recently taken some important initiatives to take our relations to the next level.”

PM Modi said, “We have implemented a trade and economic partnership with Norway, Iceland, and other EFTA countries, effective October 2025. Just a few months ago, we signed the India-EU FTA, in which Denmark, Finland, and Sweden are also partners. With these trade agreements, we are ushering in a new golden era in India-Nordic relations. We have decided to transform the India-Norway relationship into a Green Technology and Innovation Strategic Partnership.”

The Prime Minister said that through this Green Technology Partnership, we will combine Iceland’s zero thermal inefficiencies, Norway’s blue economy, and sustainability expertise in the Arctic and maritime sectors of all Nordic countries with India’s scale to ensure a better future for the entire world. By forming this unique strategic partnership, we will combine Sweden’s advanced manufacturing and defense, Finland’s telecom and digital technologies, Denmark’s cybersecurity and high-tech with India’s talent to develop reliable solutions for the entire world. Our extensive research and innovation are also an important pillar of the India-Nordic partnership. To strengthen this, we will work together to enhance linkages between universities, startups, and the lab ecosystem. We will deepen our cooperation in Arctic and polar research. We will ensure new opportunities for skill development and mobility between India and the Nordic countries.

He said, “We also shared our views on global issues. In times of global tension and conflict, India and the Nordic countries will continue to work together to promote a rules-based global order. Whether in Ukraine or West Asia, we will continue to support efforts for an early end to conflict and peace. We agree that reform of multilateral institutions is necessary and urgent.”

Speaking to reporters after addressing the conference of State Minority Commissions organized by the National Commission for Minorities, Rijiju said, “We will keep updating. That is why we keep revising minority welfare schemes. State governments are requested to send proposals as soon as possible.”

Responding to allegations by some political parties regarding Hajj, the minister said, “Muslims going on Hajj go with their own money. The Indian government does not provide even a single rupee for Hajj. Those who go on Hajj bear the expenses themselves. Some politicians are spreading misinformation on social media, which is not right.”

Rijiju said, “If we consider the Muslim population as a separate country, it would become the sixth largest in the world. Meanwhile, the Parsi community has a population of around 52,000-53,000, equivalent to a large village. Both have minority status.”

The primary objective of this one-day conference, organized by the National Commission for Minorities, was to review the functioning of state minority commissions and evaluate ongoing welfare schemes for minority communities. Minority welfare ministers from several states attended the conference.

Posting a photo of the conference on the social media platform X, Kiren Rijiju wrote, “It is a privilege to attend the conference held at Sushma Swaraj Bhavan.” He praised the team of the National Commission for Minorities, saying that the conference discussed development issues and assessed the performance of states.

The minister stressed the need to make minority commissions more effective so that development plans reach the last mile. He said that good work is being done in some states, but further improvement is needed in others.

Developed under the Bharatmala Pariyojana, the access-controlled highway project has a total length of approximately 59.063 km and an estimated cost of ₹4,463 crore. The corridor will connect Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Gurugram, and Sohna through a high-speed, six-lane access-controlled highway.

The project incorporates several advanced engineering features and modern construction technologies. One of its key highlights is the construction of a 140-metre-long Network Arch Bridge (NAB), among the most advanced steel bridge structures in India. The bridge has been designed using modern tied-arch technology with a crossed hanger arrangement, enhancing structural strength, durability, and resilience during seismic activity.

The project also employs several innovative construction methodologies, including the use of removable temporary steel pile supports over irrigation canals, precast segmental construction technology, launching girders, high-strength E450 steel, Grade 10.9 bolts, high-damping rubber bearings, and swivel expansion joints.

The highway project emphasizes sustainable and environment-friendly construction practices. Approximately 2 lakh metric tonnes of inert material generated from the bio-mining of the Okhla Landfill and Ghazipur Landfill have been utilized in road construction, reducing dependence on natural borrow materials. The project also includes noise barriers, landscaping, and plantation works.

Overall, the highway project represents a landmark infrastructure development showcasing modern bridge engineering, advanced construction technologies, sustainable practices, and improved regional connectivity. Once completed, it will significantly reduce travel time, improve traffic movement, promote economic growth, and strengthen transportation infrastructure across the NCR region.

DND–Faridabad Connectivity to Noida International Airport

With the objective of improving connectivity to the proposed Noida International Airport at Jewar—envisaged to reduce air traffic pressure on the Indira Gandhi International Airport—a dedicated connectivity project is being developed linking the airport to the DND–Faridabad Bypass in Haryana and the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway.

The project will also connect the Yamuna Expressway and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. It involves the construction of a fully access-controlled highway from Chandawali village in Faridabad, Haryana to near Dayanapur in Gautam Buddha Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, with a six-lane divided carriageway using flexible pavement.

The 31.425 km-long expressway project is being constructed at an estimated cost of ₹2,360 crore. Upon completion, traffic coming from northern India will be able to access the Noida International Airport via the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE), thereby substantially reducing traffic pressure on Delhi.

Additionally, traffic from South Delhi, Faridabad, and Gurugram will be able to reach the airport directly and efficiently. The project includes four major interchanges located at the DND–Sohna Highway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, Yamuna Expressway, and at the DFCC crossing, along with a Rail Over Bridge (ROB).

A proposed elevated corridor and an 8-lane ROB at the DFCCIL crossing will provide direct and faster connectivity from South Delhi, Faridabad, and Gurugram to the Noida International Airport at Jewar. The project is expected to boost economic growth and improve logistics efficiency across the National Capital Region (NCR).

The corridor forms an important part of the greenfield connectivity between the DND–Ballabhgarh Bypass and the Noida International Airport, linking it with the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway. It also passes through areas identified under the Faridabad Master Plan 2031, which are designated for high-density urban development and future infrastructure expansion.

Arshad Madani released the manifesto of the two-day meeting of the working committee of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind on Sunday on the social media platform ‘X’. Madani said, “The current situation in the country, the growing communalism, the silence of constitutional institutions, the increasing steps against Muslims and Islamic symbols, and the hate-based politics are extremely worrying. However, Muslims have never bowed down and will never bow down. They can bow down to love, but they can never be bowed down to force, threats, and oppression.”

Madani wrote in the post, “The politics of hate in the country has now transformed into the politics of intimidation, aimed at terrorizing Muslims and forcing them to live on their own terms. Peace and unity are being dangerously compromised in pursuit of power, resulting in a steady rise in religious frenzy and hatred, while law enforcers remain mute spectators. After the recent elections, the trend of some politicians gaining power through hate has intensified. Religious sentiments are being incited to pit the majority community against the minority, while governments are run not by fear and intimidation but by justice and fairness.”

Arshad Madani referred to a statement by West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. Madani said, “The newly elected Chief Minister of West Bengal’s statement that he will ‘work only for Hindus’ is completely against constitutional and democratic values, as every Chief Minister takes an oath to provide justice to all citizens. The responsibility of those in power is to protect the constitutional rights of every citizen, not to engage in the politics of hatred and division against any particular class.”

Additionally, Madani said in the ‘X’ post, “Attempts are being made to systematically transform the country into an ideological nation. Steps like the Uniform Civil Code, making Vande Mataram compulsory, actions against mosques and madrasas, and depriving genuine citizens of voting rights under the guise of SIR are all part of this process.” Madani said that Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind will continue its legal and democratic fight against all these steps.

Madani also said that previous governments also harmed Muslims socially, educationally, politically, and economically, but today the situation has become even more serious. Earlier, only Muslims were targeted. Now, Islam is also being targeted. Arshad Madani said, “The laws enacted after 2014 and recent actions are clear evidence that the current government wants to harm not only Muslims, but also Islam.”

The president of Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind concluded his post by writing, “We appeal to all justice-loving parties, social organizations, and citizens with a national interest to unite and fight communal and fascist forces at a democratic and social level, and to jointly fight for brotherhood, tolerance, justice, and the supremacy of the Constitution in the country.”
