We should avoid an immature and juvenile song and dance over the refusal of a visa by the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi to Shri Praveen Swami, who heads the Delhi office of “The Hindu”, to enable him to accompany Shri S. M. Krishna, our Foreign Minister, during his just concluded visit to Pakistan.

Pakistan completes five years of military rule by the Pakistan Army in October 2004 under the dictates of General Pervez Musharraf. It was on 12 October 1999 that a clique of Islamic fundamentalist generals who staged an ‘in-abstentia’ coup in favour of General Musharraf. Sadly enough post-9/11 under United States pressure, General Musharraf had to do away with the very Generals who brought him into power.
