Union Home Minister Amit Shah on December 06 narrated the first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru’s letter to United Nations over the Kashmir issue. The context of the letter is rooted in the aftermath of the Partition of British India in 1947, which led to the creation of India and Pakistan as independent nations. The princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, which had a majority Muslim population but a Hindu ruler, became a point of contention between the two newly formed countries. Over the years, the Kashmir issue has remained a longstanding and contentious matter between India and Pakistan, with both countries holding different perspectives on the region's status.

7/11 Mumbai train blasts
On July 11, 2006, a string of powerful bombs ripped through Mumbai's commuter trains system in the evening rush hour, killing nearly 200 people and bringing India's financial capital to a standstill. Seven blasts were triggered in the span of 11 minutes in the first-class suburban train compartments. The first bomb went off shortly after 6.20 pm in the Western Railway suburban train running from Churchgate to Borivali. The bomb exploded when the train was between Khar and Santacruz stations. Another bomb exploded at the same time in a local between Bandra and Khar Road. Most of the commuters in these trains were executives, businessmen, employees of government and private establishments and college students. Five more explosions occurred in Jogeshwari, Mahim Junction, Mira Road-Bhayander, Matunga-Mahim Junction and Borivali.
