Why Mr. Sharif keeps on bringing things which are not going to happen and are not even in anyone’s imagination. He is one of those politicians who prosper in turmoil. Next time he would say that he would not allow anyone to add Mahabharat in the objectives resolution.

NS cannot give interview extempore. He is asked to prepare before giving interview. This has been the practice ever since he came into politics.
