Zero tolerance for terrorism: Jagdambika Pal on Operation Sindoor
The Statesman Kolkata
|May 12, 2025
In the aftermath of tensions between India and Pakistan, sparked by the Pahalgam attack, BJP MP Jagdambika Pal came out strongly in support of the Indian government's firm response against cross-border terrorism.
Pal hailed the recent military action taken by India, stating: "We destroyed nine of their major terrorist base camps. In the future, too, we will take this to its logical end. There is zero tolerance for terrorism." He emphasised that India's emergence as a global economic power has enabled it to act decisively despite threats, including warnings of nuclear retaliation from Pakistan.

Exit Polls and After
Psephologists face a formidable task in decoding election surveys; many respondents refuse to answer the samplers’ questions, or deliberately give wrong answers. A conscientious pollster refused to publish exit poll results for the West Bengal polls because many voters had refused to answer the surveyors’ questions. This cannot be said about other such organisations, who pressed on regardless. Unsurprisingly, all exit polls except one, went completely off-track
