New Delhi, Dec 12, (ANI): Journalist Prem Shankar Jha, who was an attendee at the dinner hosted by suspended Congress leader Manishankar Aiyar and attended by a Pakistani official, said that there was nothing secret about it and was an open dinner. He stated that the three hours discussion was only focused on India-Pakistan relations and how to remove the obstacles in their friendship. The attendees were critical of Pakistan’s army, ambivalence to its terrorism. The only highlight was the Pakistan High Commissioner. He said that Pakistan’s former foreign minister Khurshid Kasuri was also invited as he and Aiyar share a common interest in India-Pakistan friendship. He cleared that the invitation of the dinner came to everyone on their e-mails, which is an unencrypted platform so there is no question of its being secret. He said that everybody has a right to meet anybody, as India is still a democracy but questioned whether it will remain so as Narendra Modi is the current Prime Minister.
