Walmart is laying off 1,500 workers in the US. MAGA supporters blame H-1B visa holders and link the move to Indian-origin CTO Suresh Kumar. One user said, “Walmart is replacing Americans with H-1Bs.” But Walmart says the layoffs are to cut costs and improve decision-making. The job cuts affect tech, e-commerce, and ad teams. There’s no proof that H-1B workers caused the layoffs. “Walmart has nearly 3,500 H-1B openings,” one user wrote, sharing a photo of the CTO. Walmart says the cuts are part of a larger plan to move staff and raise prices due to high tariffs. (PC: Reuters)

With 1,009 active cases nationwide and Kerala reporting the highest count, Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Singh assured full preparedness in hospitals. Citizens with low immunity are advised to stay cautious, while officials stress the outbreak is under control and vaccine readiness is in place for any future threats. (PC: HT)

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar told a Parliamentary panel that India responded firmly to a US warning of a potential major Pakistani strike, stating, "If they attack, we will attack stronger." He clarified that the May 10 ceasefire was initiated through military-level talks by Pakistan, not foreign mediation. Rejecting US claims, Jaishankar said, “They fire, we fire. They stop, we stop.” He noted only Turkey and Azerbaijan supported Pakistan, while most nations backed India. China, he added, did not offer unconditional support to Islamabad. India reiterated its stance that talks with Pakistan will only cover PoK's return and terror dismantling. (PC: PTI)
