Eight National Conference (NC) MLCs which included its leader in the upper house Khalid Najeeb Suhrawardy and Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah's companion, known widely as man behind 'Aatish-e-Chinaar', Mohammed Yousuf Taing pressed hard but to no avail. The mover Dr. Bashir Ahmed Veeri was seemingly forced to withdraw the 'extra-ordinary' resolution by NC-Congress government, which was being represented by Minister for Health and Medical Education R.S.Chib.
Referring to Congress instead of government might invite wrath of the chairman but Chib was replying on behalf of Minister for School Education who is NC founder Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah's grandson and presently head of the state Omar Abdullah. It is million dollar question if Omar Abdullah would have als... | |

It also demonstrated its strength in 2008 by capturing 11 assembly seats. As of now, the BJP is passing through a very critical phase, with as many as 7 MLAs thrown out of the party on the charge t... | |
