What was a driver doing with a Rs. 1000 note?
The Pakistani diplomat’s driver was trying to run a Rs. 1,000 note to buy a Rs.8 chole-bhature from a Street Vendor, which led to the diplomatic spat being loud mouthed by Pakistani establishment. These guys just never let an opportunity go by to decieve people and take the focus away from the real issues. I would’ve understood if the person was from a western country or even Japan or Singapore, but a driver from a developing country trying to change such a big note with a street vendor.
Now, we all know how much a driver earns in a developing country. Unless if the driver was running a narcotics ring because of the diplomatic immunity provided to his boss in an enemy country, or is a spy or something. Even in western countries, cashier clerks check even a $20. I myself would’ve checked it throughly even if the guy was not a driver.
Don’t know what Pakistanis are mad about, may be because the driver blew the cover off something fishy-fishy dealings they’d been doing. Apart from their normal practice of one-up manship they play with the Indians and steal the spotlight away from the Jihadi terrorist gangs and murderers they try to save after every murder they commit, there really aren’t many reasons to make a furore about it at a time when a peace process is going on which they claim they are doing a lot for.
