B Raman

Terming the Congress as "irrelevant and obsolete", first chief minister of Chhattisgarh Ajit Jogi today dismissed suggestions that he was B team of the BJP and said he would contest against incumbent Raman Singh and his party in the upcoming elections in the state.

A secret deal with Yakub Memon was not struck to engineer his return to India, but the CBI did use all its contacts in Pakistan to "induce the Memons to believe that their safety lay in India," a top investigator has told NDTV.

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today joined the debate over capitat punishment to Yakub Memon saying the critical question was whether the Mumbai blast convict returned to India on the back of an understanding.

One of India's most-respected counter-terror officers, B Raman, who led the operation to bring Yakub Memon back to India from Pakistan in 1994, wrote several years ago that he did not believe that Memon deserved to hang. His previously unpublished article has been run today by news website rediff.com.
