Pillai is not yet well versed in the art of International RelationsBy: Naim Naqvi | Tuesday , 27 Jul ‘10 12:25:51 PM Reply | Forward Common Sense dictates that when you negotiate with your adversaries you have to show restrain and try to encourage an atmosphere which should be conducive to a fruitful talk. The more detailed dictionary definition of Diplomacy is the the art and practice of conducting negotiations between nations and the skill in handling affairs without arousing hostility. There is good reason to believe that Home Secretary G.K. Pillais remarks charging Pakistans ISI of orchestrating the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai came on the eve of Krishnas visit to Islamabad were ill-timed and out of tune of situation. Granted that your have had a valid argument but it wasnt time to make it. You dont put the dampers and obstacles in the path of your own diplomat when is engaged to put his point of view across. Pillai did a silly trick and put Krisha in a very very embarassing situation. He needs a lesson or two from the books of International Relations. He should consult his bosses before showing his impatience.
Frankly, the paki diplomats need it By: Kabir | Tuesday , 27 Jul ‘10 14:54:44 PM Reply | Forward Totally absurd & ridiculous argument. Pillai spoke the truth & facts, illtimed or otherwise. Negotiations cannot be done by sugar coating issues. If the pakis can be direct, so should we be. Paki subterfuge is well known. You are dealing with an adversary who blandly lies, does not accept facts & reality and will deny every evidence & proof. After knowing the character, you want subtelities while dealing with them? Absolutely crazy!
