P Chidambaram Warns Pakistan. This Time He's Serious
Following in the long tradition of fearless home ministers, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram visited Mumbai on the first anniversary of the 26/11 terror attacks. And now dear readers, here's a little quiz for you. In Mumbai, what did P Chidambaram unveil?
1) more evidence of Pakistan's complicity
2) a specific new policy to deter future attacks
3) a martyr's memorial
If you guessed 3) then you're catching on.
The Minister also made a strong speech condemning Pakistan. Later at a press conference when asked by reporters what his government had done so far, he reeled off the punitive measures India had taken to date: first, he got the US Substitute Part-Time Deputy Assistant Under-Secretary of State to call his Pakistani counterpart, Zardari's Neighbor's Aunt's Daughter's Qawwali Teacher to express the US' strong views on the matter and this message delivery had continued all the way until Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to Islamabad a few weeks ago where she suggested to Pakistan that maybe they should try and avoid such incidents in the future, or at the very least hide their tracks better.
And to drive the point home, he said that in the next few weeks President Obama would put out a twitter message saying "@pakistan Yo! No Mo Terro!". This he was sure would finally break the impasse and result in lasting peace.
