The claims of the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah only sometime before that he will empty the state coffers for the people of the state has proved to be a poll gimmick sinc... | |

| | | | To remain in news is Mr Bhim Singh's first priority | | Supporting and opposing Pak simultaneously | | | Rustam
JAMMU, Sept 28: Delhi-based chief patron of the so-called pro-Dogra and pro-Jammu Pradesh JKNPP Bhim Singh can do anything to remain in the news, if not in all local newspapers, at least in some.

He could have played a very important role, but he utterly failed because he is one political person in the state who has never been consistent. He started his political career as a pro-Jammu leader, but practically did nothing for the cause. That's the reason the JKNPP could not become popular in Jammu province and he is not taken seriously by anybody. He always eats his words or takes U-turn. The latest example is his Saturday... | |

JAMMU, Sept 28: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday put Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in his place at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session by calling his bluff and telling the international community that it was no use raking up Kashmir issue at the United Nations as Jammu & Kashmir was a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan.
