Reagan: Mr. Gandhi the connection seems to be good this time how does the situation in India… understand the brave Gurkhas are keeping you little worried.
Gandhi: Well…sophistication and modernization is what we need to detect and control these elements. Russians have been very helpful they gave us night vision binoculars and KGB is a big help.
Reagan: So you have been talking to Gorbachey again….and what is he saying… some Gurkhas are CIA agents? $ Gandhi: Well… we have proof of CIAs presence in India We don’t want any interference in our internal affairs and want (o stay nonaligned unlike Pakistan
Reagan: Talking about your neighbor what you and your friend Russia are cooking to topple Zia? Is that what you mean by nonaligned?
Gandhi: We are a great democracy and want to spread that in this subcontinent The Pakistani people are suppressed under dictatorship.
Reagan: So KGB is helping you out there too…. you think that situation there is Pakistan’s internal problem or is it one of your goals of being nonaligned? Why don’t you spend some time to concern yourself with suppression in Punjab? I am not sure if you can handle both Gurkhas and Sikhs!
Gandhi: Well we would like to share intelligence with CIA for controlling these “terrorists” and would welcome any help to modernize our surveillance system.
Reagan: USE NIGHT VISION RUSSIAN BINOCULARS…. and don’t go out there by yourself take a body guard with you and have him also wear these Russian binoculars.
