Militants boarded bus near J&K border: Himachal CM
The militants, wearing army fatigues, got into the Himachal Pradesh state transport undertaking bus at around five in the morning.

The definition of 'secular'
'One can be "very elastic" and interpret "secular" according to one's fancy and fetish. One can thus consider the Muslim League "secular" though that party doesn't sport a member of any other community, and can consider the BJP as "communal" although it has a Muslim as Union minister,' says Arvind Lavakare.
