– Down but still out of their mind!

This is story from the ExpressIndia.com.

Sometimes you have to wonder what the Pakis drink for entertainment to come up with such downright assinine ideas! They want to rent the helicopters minus the pilots.. and which ones? The Army helicopters! Yeah right! So that they break ’em up and then simply apologize for the aid well received!

Some folks are best left alone! And btw, we have our own folks dying in J&K due to the cold and earthquake. Let’s get them up and running and give them some supplies… and stop worrying about people who want several conditions before being helped!

Pakistan Foreign Secretary Riaz Mohammed Khan today took his Indian counterpart Shyam Saran by surprise. He contacted Saran on phone and said Islamabad was ready to accept Indian choppers for relief work but without pilots and crew. Saran politely refused.

“The Foreign Secretary conveyed to his Pakistani counterpart that it would not be possible for India to provide helicopters which were in service with its armed forces without pilots and crew,’’ the MEA spokesperson said.

Saran, however, re-emphasised India’s willingness to undertake relief work in villages which are close to the Line of Control, as they are more accessible from India.

“Concerning helicopter sorties by Pakistani side to points close to the LoC, the Foreign Secretary conveyed that these can be undertaken, but information concerning the proposed sorties should be communicated as early as possible to the DGMO (Director General of Military Operations) on the Indian side,’’ the spokesperson said.

It may be noted that India had offered Pakistan all possible help for relief operations in quake-hit areas of PoK. While Islamabad had initially opted against taking up the offer, it has now indicated acceptance in a manner not acceptable to New Delhi.

Earlier, the spokesperson of the Pakistan Foreign Office had revealed the latest position.

Explaining the pre-condition, he said that “given the obvious sensitivities, we could not accept involvement of Indian military on our side for relief operations.”

Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz had earlier said that they did not need Indian choppers.
