External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had a witty response to a reporter’s question on Pakistan. He was asked whether ‘rogue nation’ Pakistan can be an asset or liability for India, seeing as the cash-strapped nation is also nuclear-armed. Jaishankar said this was ‘ a reality’ for India. He remarked that like the Pandavas could not choose their relatives, nations could not choose their neighbours and that one can hope that ‘good sense’ prevails.
