According to Sify News there are just around 200-250 militants active in Kashmir. According to the official, only 225 to 250 trained militants of various outfits are currently active in the K...
Who Rescued Whom?
One has to marvel at this man. It is no wonder that he remains as indispensable for the Gandhi family (aka Congress) as he did during Indira Gandhi’s infamous emergency. It is people like him and Makhdoom Amin Faheem of Pakistan who define (honest) slavery of the modern era. It was all over the blind Indian media ( blindia ) and they gave it the ...
