The high spy drama.

Over the last couple of days, Pakistan has gone to town over the capture of an Indian 'RAW' agent who was fomenting trouble in Baluchistan. The Indian government while conceding that the captured individual was a retired officer of the Indian navy turned businessman, shuttling between Iran and other countries of west Asia, has affirmed that he had nothing to do with either the government or the RAW.

Moreover, the Pakis had broached the topic with the Iranian President, currently on tour there, who brushed it aside as 'too much being read over nothing'. He'd laughed it off yet again, later at a press conference, when the Pakistani press corps tried to extract sound bytes out of him on the issue landing that country with an egg on its face, in diplomatic parlance.

Those were diplomatic niceties and expected behaviour between two countries. But now to more human aspects, reports from Pakistan say that Commander Khulbhushan Jadhav(Retired) has been nabbed; he must be going through inhuman torture - ever since his capture - and must have been made to elicit responses, the way his interrogators want, so that they can use them against him and his country later. Note that they've still not permitted consular access to him which is mandatory.

The family of the ill fated gentleman must be passing through stressful times. It's hoped that their untold agony ends as early as possible and I'm sure that the entire country will be praying for his safe return, as early as possible, with the active indulgence of the central government.

Meanwhile, we'll continue to see the slugfest on the media.


Tailpiece.

1. One thing that has been very evident all this while......the Pakistanis go ballistic whenever they have a brush with RAW or anything that it can relate to the organisation!
2. A special prayer by virtue of the fact that you've worn the white uniform!
