Indian media prominently featured Donald Trump's statements regarding a permanent pause on migration from "Third World countries" following the Washington D.C. shooting, with discussions on the specific countries that might be targeted. This echoed the previous day's coverage where Trump linked a "terrorist attack" to Afghan immigrants. Domestically, India's Q2 GDP growth of 8.2% surpassed forecasts and marked the highest in six quarters, receiving significant attention. The ongoing political infighting within Karnataka's Congress party between Siddaramaiah and D.K. Shivakumar for the Chief Minister position also continued to be a focal point, with a scheduled breakfast meeting at the high command's directive to resolve their dispute. Additionally, concerns regarding Imran Khan's well-being in prison resurfaced, with his son appealing for international intervention and his sister issuing a threat to Pakistan's leadership.
