As per today's newspaper, Pakistani Envoy to India, who has been reportedly summoned by his government for consultations over the alleged inappropriate conduct by our agencies here, may not return soon.
Surely, if the newspapers reports are to be believed, our diplomats too have similar complaints with their Pakistani hosts, including the denial of membership to our High Commissioner at the prestigious Islamabad Club.
Well, the bilateral ties between India and Pakistan have been strained since the past seven decades, notwithstanding brief spells of 'monsoon showers' in between. And any expectation of a durable detente in our bilateral ties as of now seem nothing short of a wishful thinking.
But, the least we can do is to ensure is to observe all international norms with regard to treatment of their envoys, insisting on a full quid-pro-quo from Pakistan.
I am really amazed to hear stories from those who have visited Pakistan, with regard to the love and affections showered on them by Pakistani citizens. Especially, if they come to know that the ancestors of those visiting Indians hailed from Pakistan.
We Indians too reciprocate such gestures, especially to visiting Pakistani sportsmen and artists.
Then, why such bitterness at the other levels?
