A wet cat

Published September 19, 2014

WHILE we are arguing about whether the election was rigged and demanding the resignations of the prime minister and the Punjab chief minister, the Indian premier has paid a visit to Japan.

Modi’s visit to Japan will get a lot of industrial benefits for India. Japan needs India as much as India needs Japan. His next target can be, and should be, China.

India is going ahead to become an Asian tiger, while we are moving to the position of a wet cat. Well done, Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan! Just be honest once and tell us whose drums are you both beating?
