A day after Pakistan tried to convert Kulbhushan Jadhav's meeting with his family into a PR event, India has exposed Pakistan's shameful conduct. The foreign ministry details how Mr Jadhav's mother and wife were harassed and humiliated by Pakistani authorities.

Actor Prakash Raj slams Union Minister Anant Kumar Hegde over his constitution-change remarks. "This man is dangerous and doesn't deserve to be a minister," he says and asks if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is okay with his minister's views.

Kulbhushan Jadhav, a former Indian Navy commander sentenced to death in Pakistan on espionage charges, was allowed to meet his wife and mother through a glass partition for a little over 40 mins today in Islamabad. Pakistan has touted this as a humanitarian gesture on the birth anniversary of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. But Pakistan didn't stop at letting the meeting happen. The event was turned into a full-fledged media circus with the release of a new video where Mr Jadhav is made to parrot lines about how he was caught and where he thanks his captors. Mr Jadhav has been sentenced to death in Pakistan after a three-month military trial which India says was a fraud. New Delhi has been denied consular access to Mr Jadhav despite more than 20 official requests.

More than 100 countries including India defied US President Donald Trump on Thursday and voted in favour of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to drop its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favour. A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, nine voted against and 35 abstained. Trump's threat appeared to have some impact, with more countries abstaining and rejecting the resolution than usually associated with Palestinian-related resolutions. India's position has been applauded by most specially after that recent cautious statement when Donald Trump announced his Jerusalem plans.

It was the case that many feel led to the beginning of the end for the UPA government but today the court has said that "2G scam" wasn't even a scam while acquitting all the accused like A Raja and Kanimozhi. It said the accusations were a well-choreographed plot based on rumours and wrong perceptions. We ask what is the collateral damage of this 2G case? And more importantly, was there a scam at all?.
