So the IP editor was correct in trying to change the date of birth to 25 June 1931.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:31, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Edit 'Prime Minister Section'
editLooks like a case of copy paste has happened in this section. The section entitled 'Prime Minister' has the paragraph
'V. P. Singh faced his first crisis within few days of taking office, when Kashmiri militants kidnapped the daughter of his Home Minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed (former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir).[56] His government agreed to the demand for releasing militants in exchange; partly to end the storm of criticism that followed, he shortly thereafter appointed Jagmohan Malhotra, a former bureaucrat, as Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.'
This is also the opening para of the sub section 'Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus'. Suggest keeping this para in the 'Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus' and taking it off from the broader 'Prime Minister' section Suksane (talk) 10:41, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
