NC President Demands Action over Bus Attack in Haryana
Budgam | October, 19: National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah on Monday stated that the expansion of the Jammu and Kashmir Council of Ministers will take place once Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha returns to the Valley.

It makes no difference.”
