When David Cameron, the British premier, was in India he said what all Indians wanted to hear, “Pakistan must stop exporting terror.” When Zardari met him recently in London just days after this statement, the communique which came out after the meeting had no relation to his previous statement made in India. Not surprisingly, it said what Pakistanis wanted to hear, that terror must be fought decisively and blah blah blah. When Barrack Obama meets Manmohan Singh he refers to him as a ‘good man’ which is music to any Indian’s ears but when he meets Zardari or Geelani the words that come out are that America and Pakistan have pledged to fight terror to it’s end or words to that effect. There is hardly any reference to Indian concerns, though there is some lip service separately by their foreign office just to keep the Indians in good humour.
