On Sunday, amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions during Operation Sindoor, a group of 10-15 protesters attacked Karachi Bakery's Shamshabad outlet in Hyderabad, demanding a name change. Wearing saffron scarves and holding tricolour flags, they raised anti-Pakistan slogans and attempted to damage the bakery's signboard. Videos showed the nameboard partially covered with a cloth, with police present but no major damage reported. A complaint has been filed against the protesters for blocking the outlet's entry. Owners Rajesh and Harish Ramnani emphasized that Karachi Bakery is a 100% Indian brand, founded in 1953 by their grandfather Khanchand Ramnani after migrating from Karachi post-Partition. They appealed to authorities to support retaining the bakery's name.

J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, in an interview with NDTV, said Pakistan has “managed to internationalise Kashmir” following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The massacre of 26 people, mostly tourists, has devastated the Valley’s recovering economy, emptied tourist hotspots, shut schools, and grounded flights. Abdullah reflected, “Everything has changed, and yet in some ways, nothing has.” He expressed concern over the crumbling ceasefire and growing international attention, especially from the US. The attack led to India's launch of Operation Sindoor, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and PoK. Pakistan responded with drones and artillery before agreeing to de-escalate after four days.
