Munda all set to expand Cabinet today .
Our Correspondent .
Ranchi: Abiding to the vir-tual deadline set by the Jharkhand governor M O H Farook, Arjun Munda expands his Cabinet to the full strength of 12 on Friday. Munda along with Hement Soren and Sudesh Mahto belonging to coalition part-ners of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha(JMM) and The All Jharkhand Students Unio-n(AJSU) had taken oath of office on September 11. .
According to the agreed formula, the JMM gets five berths, BJP four, AJSU two and Janta Dal (U) one in the new Cabinet. .
The party has decided against accommodating Raghubar Das, one of the deputy chief ministers in the previous Sibu Soren led gov-ernment, in the Cabinet.If there was intense lobbying in the BJP, it was no different in the JMM camp. The party has witnessed demands of representation in the new ministry on line religion and gender. It is, however, Sibu Soren, who holds the key. His son Hemant Soren who has been designated as deputy chief minister has denied any dissidents in the party. It appears that tis time the Cabinet might not have any woman minister. .

According to us, 44 terrorist outfits…all of them must be dismantled and destroyed, Antony said after coming out of a meet-ing with his Russian coun-terpart Anatoly Serdyukov. .
That (compelling Pakistan) is our consistent request to everybody. We are repeatedly telling Pakistan and we are repeat-edly reminding the interna-tional community also, he said responding to a ques-tion on what he thought of Musharraf’s remarks in an interview to German maga-zine Der Spiegel recently. .
Noting that Pakistan’s support to terror outfits tar-geting India was known very well, Antony said, Repeatedly we are telling everybody this. We told in 2009 also. This is what we .
