Sir: What is going wrong in India? It is stunning to know that someone from India called on telephone some staff member of the Sindh Governor on October 23 and threatened to blow up the Governor’s House with explosives. How daring! Sometime back some Indian called from the foreign ministry office at New Delhi and threatened the President of Pakistan to get ready for facing dire consequences. Later the foreign ministry clarified that the call was made erroneously.
The caller who lately threatened the then President’s staff was later reported to have been drunk. One can assume that the October 23 call threatening Governor Ishratul Ibad must also be from a drunk ‘official’.
The intelligence and law enforcement agencies will certainly trace out the caller and the motive of the call, but if it is the same case of over drinking, then the Indian government can well imagine such a hoax call can also cause irreparable and irreversible damage to the South Asian region. Appointing such people at sensitive posts must be checked before it is too late.
