"We cannot decide unilaterally. It depends on them (militant groups) as well," Defence Minister A.K. Antony told on the sidelines of a Coast Guard conference here.
"How do I know what the militants will do? How can I speak for the militants?" the minister added.

Jammu | Sep 19
The fate of the first-ever civilian trek to Siachen hangs in a balance after the army decided to postpone it. The army decision comes on the heels of Pakistan’s protests over promoting tourism on the Siachen glacier.
Trekkers were informed about the development on Monday night. The army has not given them fresh dates, triggering speculation and disappointment. The 20 civilian trekkers had been asked to assemble at Leh on September 19.
Explaining the rescheduling, an army source said the Siachen trek file was yet to be cleared by the defence ministry.
Management professor Charuhas Joshi, who had to cancel his flight at the last moment, said he was d... | |

Jammu | Sep 19
The security forces and more so our police force, which are subjected to brick bats, in terms of sharp criticism whenever terrorists succeed in striking in a big way, causing loss of human lives and destruction, attributing the same to the failure of our intelligence agencies, should also deserve bouquets when they foil a well knit terrorists plot and defeat the nefarious design of the merchants of death. In this regard the foiling of attempt by the militants on the life of Chief Minister, Ghulam Nabi Azad, who was scheduled to visit his home town and his constituency, Bhaderwah yesterday, to address his electorates, deserves kudos.
