<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi had three days left on his just-finished trip to the United States. PM Modi arrived in the United States several time zones later and spent 65 hours in the nation, the majority of which was spent traveling, and he managed to attend 20 engagements, including the key bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to PTI, PM Modi has a few tricks up his sleeve to combat jet lag. The first is to schedule back-to-back meetings on a foreign trip so that weariness, which is frequent after a lengthy trip, is avoided.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unabashedly admitting Pakistan military&#8217;s close ties with Taliban and its anti-India agenda, a leader of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has talked about taking help of the Taliban in Kashmir during an on-air television show.</p>
<p>During a TV news debate, PTI leader Neelam Irshad Sheikh said the Taliban have announced that they will join hands with Pakistan in Kashmir.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Taliban are saying that they are with us and they will help us in Kashmir,&#8221; Sheikh said during the show.</p>
<p>However, earlier the Taliban had stated that Kashmir is India&#8217;s &#8220;internal and bilateral&#8221; issue.</p>
<p>Alarmed by the statement of the PTI leader, the news anchor said, &#8220;Madam, do you realise what you have said? You have no idea what you have said. For God&#8217;s sake ma&#8217;am, this show will air around the world. This will be viewed in India.&#8221;</p>
<p>However, an unaffected and unconcerned Irshad Sheikh continued saying that &#8220;Taliban will help us because they have been mistreated.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier, the Afghan government had accused Pakistan and its intelligence service of playing a key role in fostering the Taliban.</p>

He is a fitness fanatic and spends almost two hours every day on yoga, weights and rowing. He was captain of the Royal Calcutta Golf Club (RCGC) for 10 years. He was the founding Managing Director of Penguin India, the Indian counterpart of Penguin Books, the founding Editor of Business Standard and also the pivotal figure behind the acquisition of STAR News by the ABP Group in 2003. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Besides Sarkar and Chopra, the PTI Board members are Vineet Jain (Times of India), N. Ravi (The Hindu), Viveck Goenka (the Express Group), Mahendra Mohan Gupta (Dainik Jagran), K.N. Shanth Kumar (Deccan Herald), Riyad Mathew (Malayala Manorama), M.V.Shreyamskumar(Mathrubhumi), R.
