We are a conspiracy loving nation. I have had a chance recently to appear in a current affairs program on Capital TV. The matter under discussion was that whether PM Nawaz Sharif was surprised when the the issue of Hafiz Saeed and Jamat-ud-dawa was raised by President Obama. My answer was an emphatic NO. I think we must educate our masses should avoid making mountains out of moles. When two heads of state meet, they have a pre-organised and mutually accepted agenda. And, they usually do not digress. Additionally, a list of the areas and issues likely to be raised are prepared by the experts along with their possible responses. Therefore, the whole media upsurge on this should be a non-starter. It is a very serious business and should not be discussed childishly. But we have the media which are masters of exaggeration and expanding things absolutely non-proportionately.

The progarm can be found here. I became part of the discussion after the first break in the program.
