Did
Pakistani High Commissioner Salman Bashir deliberately choose November
26 to host a party for the Indian media or was it an inadvertent slip up
that was later corrected. November 26 is a day that the Indian public,
Government and media are not likely to forget in a hurry. Four years
ago, terror and mayhem ruled Mumbai when 10 Pakistani terrorists landed
in the city and struck at various locations, including some five-star
hotels. The wounds of 26/11 are yet to heal with many of its
perpetrators yet to be punished, so when the Pakistan High Commissioner
decided to host a dinner that day there was surprise and disquiet. But
the date was quickly changed and a new date agreed upon after the
significance of the first date was brought to the notice of the High
Commissioner. Surprisingly, the dinner invites were sent just days after
Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist involved in the carnage, was
hanged before the fourth anniversary of 26/11. This makes it even more
difficult to believe that while the entire country was reliving the
trauma of four years ago, the Pakistan High Commission slipped up on the
date. Or was it a genuine mistake?
