RSS dubs Kashmir's Article 370 as 'temporary'

Pune, May 31 (ANI): Hindu radical outfit and ideological mentor of the BJP, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has said that Article 370, which provides special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir, is temporary which means it should go one day. A row had erupted after Junior minister in Prime Minister's Office (PMO), Jitendra Singh of the BJP stirred a controversy on May 27, after assuming charge, by saying that Article 370 was more of a psychological barrier than a physical one and added that the Narendra Modi-led government was open to debate with all stakeholders, including youths and that Article 370 of the Constitution was a hindrance to Kashmir's development. RSS leader Krishna Gopal who addressed a news conference in Pune said that the article holds a temporary status in the Indian Constitution. Gopal claimed the people of the country who had given a clear mandate to BJP were also on the same page with the party. May 31, 2014

JD (U) faces trust vote in Bihar Assembly today, RJD extends support

Patna, May 23 (ANI): Jitan Ram Manjhi, who has succeeded Nitish Kumar as the new Chief Minister of Bihar after the latter demitted office taking moral responsibility for the JD (U)'s debacle in general elections, is seeking a confidence vote today. The JD (U) government led by Manjhi has to prove its majority on the floor of the house. In a major development towards the formation of a new alliance in Bihar, Lalu Prasad Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal had on Thursday announced its unconditional support to the JD (U) government in the state. With Manjhi, who belongs to Musahar sub-caste, taking over as the Chief Minister, the Lalu Prasad-led party does not want to be seen as opposing a member of one of the most backward community.
