It is true. As per Dawn newspaper of Pakistan, someone with a perverted sense of humour pretending to be India’s foreign Minister Pranab Mukerjee spoke to the Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari in a very threatening manner on 28th November, two days after the Mumbai attack.
Naturally Nuclear abled Pakistan put its forces, especially air force at the highest alert as the military anxiously watched for any signs of military aggression by India.
The Hoax caller pretending to be India’s Foreign Minister also tried to call up Ms. Rice the American US Secretary of State but was foiled in his effort due to specific checks by the US officials.
As per Dawn,a Diplomat who had the knowledge of the exchanges had verified the news.There was a fear among some of the world leaders that India and Pakistan may slip into accidental war. It was an episode calling for extreme and intense international diplomacy.
As it is India after having proof that Mumbai attacks were carried on by militants based in Pakistan has asked Pakistan to cooperate in this issue.
Pakistani Diplomats are saying that the call was made from a Delhi number but Indian Officials are denying this allegation saying that number can be manipulated.
The things which some mentally unstable persons can do and if the above extremely delicate issue had not been averted the result would have been disastrous for the whole world.Such persons should be dealt with severely so that it is a lesson for all those hoax callers who enjoy getting importance in a very dangerous manner
