When the Congress president reached Udhampur, there was a statement of discipline and cohesion and there was no room for sycophancy. The reception committee was limited, divergent and drawn from the top.
Unlike the long list queue of Congress leaders which usually line up to receive their senior party leaders and make their faces known, today there were only three political leaders to w... | |

In gesture which carried mere symbolism and hardly any practical utility, the Congress President Sonia Gandhi today had a bird’s eye view of the situation arising out of the snowfall in various areas of Jammu region.
Sonia had to visit some areas of South Kashmir as well but her visit was cut short due to bad weather which hampered the flight movement. Sonia, Patil and a team of home ministry officials wanted to assess the situation in areas affected by heavy snowfall.
After landing at Udhampur air base, the Congress president, Home Minister, a central team and Chief Minister left by helicopter to survey the snow-hit areas of Doda and Kishtwar... | |
