Sir: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is laboriously engaged in securing numerous multimillion dollar investments for his country. The New York Times on September 21, in a cartoon depicted Mr Modi in the image of Shiva, the cosmic dancer, as he tries to keep steady while holding onto the US and Japanese flags on one side and willingly extends his other hand towards a plump, slightly hesitant Asian looking person carrying a briefcase with ‘China’ written on it. The newspaper dubbed it ‘Modi’s diplomacy’. Even though India and China are not the best of friends, Modi is pushing hard to find a resolution of the border dispute with China. Pakistan, on the other hand, which has always been fortunate enough to maintain good relations with China, remained empty handed due to its political instability. Not only was the scheduled visit of the Chinese president to sign pending memoranda cancelled, Imran Khan publicly announced his agreement over the damage caused to our economy and misled his followers into believing that we were actually saved from a bunch of loans that were going to be extended to the Nawaz government. Mr Modi is scheduled to meet the US president during the UN General Assembly session in New York, accompanied by a reception at Madison Square Garden which has been entirely funded at a cost of $ 1.6 million by the Indian-American community. Mr Sharif on the other hand will leave Pakistan with unresolved issues like the devastating floods and an angry mob at his doorstep. He is not expected to meet Barack Obama or Modi nor talk about any of the demanding issues faced by the country, thanks to Imran Khan and Tahirul Qadri. MOBEEN SHAH Via Email
