The progressive steps we are taking in Jammu and Kashmir are receiving global support. But Pakistan has been going door to door and creating content for cartoon makers, says Rajnath Singh

Would PM Imran Khan deny that he was an open defender of Osama Bin Laden?

Will Pakistan acknowledge that it provides safe haven to UN-designated terrorists?
