Delhi CM dares Modi to release
NEW DELHI  - As India's claims of conducting 'surgical strikes' over Pakistani soil has largely met with rebuttal and has been declared 'grotesque' by experts, suspicion over India's official version is growing across the border as well.

Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi on Monday demanded that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi should release footages of ‘strikes’ as evidence.

Pakistan has already rebuffed the absurd claim as an “illusion being deliberately generated by the Indian to create false effects," Arvind said.

Asserting that foreign media is backing Pakistan’s claim, Kejrival, a habitual critic of Modi, in a three-minute-long video message posted on his Facebook page, said: “My blood boils to see such reports.”

The concerns raised by Delhi CM are followed by the refusal from UN to confirm the Indian claims of ‘surgical strikes.'

Rupee gains massive recovery against US dollar after SBP relaxes rules for banks

KARACHI – The Pakistani rupee experienced a significant surge in its value in the open market against the dollar.

This surge came after a recent directive from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), allowing banks to purchase dollars at the interbank market rate for international card payments. The objective of this move was to narrow the exchange rate gap between the official and informal markets.

According to the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan, the currency market witnessed the dollar being traded at Rs298, compared to its previous day’s closing rate of 311.

The SBP’s decision was influenced by the International Monetary Fund’s demand for Pakistan to stabilize its currency market before resuming a $6.5 billion bailout program.

In a circular, the central bank stated, “In response to the feedback received from various stakeholders, Authorized Dealers are now permitted to buy USD from the Interbank market to settle card-based cross border transactions with international payment schemes (IPS).”

Market analysts had predicted a decline in the value of the rupee following the implementation of these new guidelines.

Zafar Paracha, the General Secretary of the ECAP, expressed that the SBP’s decision was timely and appropriate. He anticipated that it would lead to a decrease of 20 to 25 rupees in the open market currency rate. Paracha also noted that aligning the rates in the official and informal markets would bolster remittance inflows.

Pracha further emphasized that significant disparities in rates between the official and informal markets encourage transactions outside of the official banking system.
