(Bombshell!!) India wants Saudi mediation in Pak dispute

[Gunner_Mania]

Clarification by Minister of State for External Affairs Dr. Shashi Tharoor on his remarks in Riyadh 28/02/2010 A section of the media has misread the remarks made by me in Riyadh last evening. What I basically said was that Saudi Arabia is a valuable interlocutor for India. Any other interpretation was neither meant nor warranted.

Interlocutor (politics), someone who informally explains the views of a government and also can relay messages back to a government

this for the Shashi Tharoor fan club. :giggle:

But an "interlocutor" is defined as a Middleman too here: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/interlocutor http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/Interlocutor Inter = In between or in the middle Locutor = One who takes part in dialogue or conversation (for example a dialogue between India and Pakistan).

LOL! This twit Tharoor thinks all of us are fools. He specifically mentioned the Saudi relation to pakistan as the key factor for them being an interlocutor. Now he wants us to believe he meant interlocutor in the bilateral sense. What an idiot.
