The latest in post-Mumbai recriminations and fallout is the question of who made a fake phone call Nov. 28, allegedly by Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari saying India would attack Pakistan if it didn’t round up Lashkar-e-Taiba and other militant groups?
The Hindu claims Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence did the fakery.
The Guardian reports that Pakistan says the call came from a number inside Mukherjee’s office.
Maybe it did and his office has been infiltrated. If THAT’s the case, New Delhi has to be scared shitless.
I am interested indeed to find out more about this.
Meanwhile, John McCain, unable to bomb Iran now, told Zardari that New Delhi was ready to bomb his country.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
