New Delhi : It certainly seemed like a mutual admiration society when Jammu and Kashmir’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti and Pakistani lawyer-activist Aitzaz Ahsan lavished praise on each other.
It happened at a recent India-Pakistan peace conference in the capital. He was the best and she was the best, they said of each other.
That Mehbooba Mufti’s favourite colour is green is well known and her scarf, veil and even her party flag don that colour, which incidentally also happens to be the shade of the Pakistani flag. If that was not enough, at the conference she was heard beseeching organisers to readjust the seating arrangement as she wanted to share her space with Pakistani delegates, and she did that.
Strange but this geniality and warmth come even after the Kashmiri leader was denied a Pakistani visa last month.
