It is not an exaggeration; it is statement of fact, which is easily verifiable. On Friday, when the people of Jammu province observed a massive bandh to register their protest against the decision of the BJP-led NDA Government at the Centre and t...   READ MORE   Is deporting separatists to Pakistan a viable solution to silence pro-Pak forces in Kashmir? 4/25/2015 11:32:46 PM Early Times Report Jammu,Apr 25: Is deporting Kashmiri separatists to Pakistan the only viable solution for silencing those who raise pro-Pakistan slogans or wave Pakistani flags ?This question has assumed significance after the RSS dished out a sermon to the Government of India telling it to deport to Pakistan those separatists who raise pro-Pakistan slogans.
