1. Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik, who is on a three day visit in the country, has created controversy by claiming he is unsure whether Kargil martyr Captain Saurabh Kalia was killed by a Pakistani bullet or the weather. Captain Kalia, who, along with others in his team, was brutally tortured and killed during the Kargil war. Rehman Malik, who arrived in India on Friday evening, further put the government in great discomfort by dismissing India's evidence against LeT chief and equating the Babri Masjid demolition with the 26/11 attacks. He claimed he could order LeT chief's arrest sitting in India, provided India gives Pakistan real evidence. Can you name LeT Chief who was also its founder and was the mastermind behind 26/11 attacks?
