Documents relating to the Pakistan Joint Investigation Team's visit to India to collect evidence on the Pathankot terror attack made no mention of reciprocal access for India as a condition.

The access granted to the Pakistani team was deliberately unconditional, said a senior government official, so that Pakistan would have no pretext to slow down its investigation into the case. He added that it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who allowed the visit without insisting on a legal framework, according to The Indian Express.

"Women have to deal with tremendous viciousness online," said Gandhi as she released the government's new women's policy. "Initially, the operators would not come and talk to us and cooperate about giving details. But now they have come on board."

According to NDTV, Gandhi said the problem of online harassment of women was brought to her attention based on the complaint of a journalist.

A government advisory to begin yoga asanas on 21 June, the International Day of Yoga, with the 'Om' chant followed by shlokas, has angered Opposition parties who have accused the government of pushing a "sectarian agenda".

A video accompanying the protocol shows the prayer beginning with 'Om' but omitting the 'Om shantih, shantih, shantih', according to The Indian Express.

Some centres where the Jawaharlal Nehru University MPhil entrance examination was held on Tuesday videotaped and photographed candidates who wrote the exam. The centres were Jaipur, Kolkata and Delhi.

Director (Admissions) Bhupinder Zutshi said this was part of "a random check". "We had taken a policy decision that at certain randomly selected centres, we will take photos and videos of classrooms, because sometimes some other students sit for the exams," he said.

However JNU teachers said this was "unheard of", according to The Indian Express.
