So says my man mohan Singh, we can talk with Pakistan.
But no one should forget that 10 foot long pole that moved India, in fact came straight form the good ole USA. First USA quietly asked India to “cooperate”. When India refused, the US of A issued the travel advisory and fired a shot across India’s bow. Chidambram sahib said, my-baap kion kurtay ho yeh travel advisoryian. Hum to bohot naik Paak hain.
But the US pressure is on and India is singing.
If you all remember, USA used the same tactic on India when the Indians were all gung ho while massing 1000s of troops on Pak border. Just a hint, back then good ole Gen Powell was at the helms of State Department.
Now Hillory pulled the same weapon and Indians are singing.
