Cricket diplomacy.

The prime minister has invited his counterpart, Mr. Gilani to witness the quarter final match of the World cup cricket, between India and Pakistan. And the Pakistani side has reciprocated and their PM is gonna be in one of the visitors' boxes at Mohali. Such exercises have been done in the past but had limited follow - through insofar as the relationship between the two countries are concerned. Why doesn't Pakistan understand our honourable intentions and reciprocate with some real action in preventing cross border terrorism? Instead, they fritter away their energies in trying to score brownie points over us, on trivia. Their leaders need to take stock of the extremist elements getting bolder by the day and trying to force their diktat over the common man. In a lighter vein, it would be quite befitting that the Pakistanis are defeated, on the Mohali outing, before their Prime Minister!
