In order to develop friendly relationship between the two countries, Pervez Musharraf and Atal Behari Vajpayee decided to visit each other’s country regularly.
The first visit was by Musharraf to India. There Vajpayee showed him India’s modern telecommunication systems. It was so good that Musharaf made a call to Zia in hell and talked to him for 5 minutes! The bill for the call came to only Re.1.
When Musharaf came back, he also wanted Pakistan’s telecommunication systems to be at the best when Vajpayee visited Pakistan. Suitable arrangements were made. Vajpayee came to Pakistan, visited the telecom department and talked to the Devil in hell for 5 minutes. But this time, the bill was Rs. 500!
Vajpayee asked with a sarcastic smile - “Why are telephone calls to hell so costly in Pakistan ?”
A High level diplomat gave a smiling reply - “From India to hell, it is a local call, Sir, while from Pakistan, it is long distance!”.
