Jammu, Jan 13: No one had ever expected that Union Home Minister P Chidambaram, who now speaks very rarely, would publicly take on AICC general secretary and the Congress' "Yuvraj" Rahul Gandhi and his very close associate AICC general secretary and in-charge of Congress party in Uttar Pradesh (UP) Digvijaya Singh and take a line that could greatly damage the Congress' electoral prospectus in the very crucial State of UP.

Jammu, Jan 13: The drug policy approved by the State cabinet has left many questions unanswered which could add to sale and purchase of spurious, sub-standard drugs instead of checking the menace which must have been the spirit behind the announcement of the drug policy.

Many fake drug companies are selling life saving drugs and other medicines under various brand names and the better medical practitioners prescribe drugs manufactured by standard companies to ensure that their ... | |
