Breaking News June 4:Not sure if TMC govt will continue till 2021, says Vijayvargiya

We may soon witness another rift between the Government and Judiciary. At least this is what one would make out of Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad's statement that his ministry was not a post office but a stakeholder in judicial appointments. The claim to be a stakeholder was also made by former BJP ally and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti. But this was about Pakistan and the Kashmir issue. Mufti said that Islamabad was a stakeholder and must be involved to resolve the issue. Hello and welcome to News Nation real-time breaking blog.
