Rajasthan police arrested an ISI agent Shakoor Khan who had been passing critical info for many years.

He was personal secretary of former congress cabinet minister Saleh Mohammad.

Drawing a historical parallel, he likened their situation to that of Maharana Pratap’s brother, Shakti Singh.

He added that the integration of PoK depends on the cultural, social, and economic progress of the nation.

“In Punjabi, there is something called Dasvanth. We said 10% of our earnings should go back toward the society.

Something on those lines we should start. If I'm earning so much, so much of money should go towards R&D towards the defence of the nation.

Every industry has to come up with some plan.”
