Gilani says hello to PM, sings old tune

A day after US President Barack Obama nudged him to proceed against the perpetrators of 26/11 and pave the way for lowering tensions with India, Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani sought to break the ice by walking up to his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh for a “hello” session.

That happened during Obama’s dinner in honour of 45-odd world leaders attending the Nuclear Security Summit here on Monday, but little was forthcoming on what the two talked about during the impromptu meeting that lasted a few minutes.

All that Indian Foreign Office spokesman Vishnu Prakash would say was that the two leaders “shook hands and exchanged pleasantries”.

With no formal meeting lined up between the two leaders here, speculation is now on a possible meeting on the sidelines of the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) summit in the Bhutanese capital of Thimpu on April 28-29.
