The British Prime Minister David Cameron is a very candid person. He says he does not like hiding his feelings. Hence, when he said Pakistan was the exporter of terrorism, India grinned. But India frowned when he offered to shift the Commonwealth games to London from New Delhi if the latter was not ready to host it.
Again, when Cameron refused to return Kohinoor to India terming it the most precious part of UK’s royal museum, India got angry, but controlled his emotions. Why? Why our leaders are sticking to calculative statements? The entire West is outspoken whether it’s a UK PM or US president or anybody else.
Even Pakistan uses objectionable statements during formal talks, thanks to its habit of committing such mistakes repeatedly, but India should at least express such feeling which is must for its own benefit and interest. At least, the Indian leaders can be candid as well as calculative while giving statements at international forums. Dear Manmohan Singh, have you overheard this advice? So, can we expect that you will not depend too much on Sonia Gandhi? After all, it’s high time to be self-reliant.
