'Can You Trust Pakistan As A Mediator?': Anand Ranganathan On Jaishankar's 'Dalal' Remark

He makes the case that mediation requires trust, expertise and decades of credibility none of which Pakistan currently commands. "Pakistanis are like street theatre actors. Mediation happens when you trust the judge. Right now can you trust Pakistan?"
