PPP government has applauded the services of our UN representative and ambassador in USA. Would someone tell me what valuable contribution these two new gentlemen in our foreign diplomacy have made? Both showed their inexperience by sleeping over the passage of UNSC resolution imposing ban on JuD, thus, allowing India to tarnish our image and project us as the 'epicenter of all terrorism'. Was it sheer negligence or sheer incompetence that made them suggest to the Chinese authorities to abstain from vetoing? Their only merit, commonly perceived as the reason for their respective appointments, is their close connection with the present PPP leadership. -K.B. LEGHARI, Quetta, via e-mail, January 15.
