The historical soft corner for Pakistan? Concerned that their troops are not as effective as the "hired" Pakistan Military? Someone adviced Obama and Hilary that Indian military has displayed a "for rental" board around it's neck? The dwindling stock of predator drones forces them to look for alternatives? Or did Obama Administration invented a new board-game?

Whatever be the reason, in a move sparked widespread protests in India , US asked India to withdraw military forces from her border with neighbouring Pakistan as a "good will".

According to government sources, the United States has asked India to pull back troops along the Indo-Pakistan border as a gesture of goodwill.

India, in turn, has told America that the country hasn't moved more troops along the border, and that it was the neighbouring country, Pakistan, that deployed more troops along the Line of Control (LoC), and that America should ask Pakistan to pull back its troops.

Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon during his recent visit to the US made this clear to officials there, sources said.

Earlier, defence sources said that Pakistan had deployed several army brigades along Indo-Pak border in Jehlum-Chenab and Chenab-Ravi corridors sparking concern in the Indian armed forces.

The forces had been withdrawn from Pakistan's troubled north-western tribal belt where they were battling Taliban to put pressure on the US, which had been pressing Islamabad to act against terrorists operating from its soil, and diverted to the border with India, they said.

Updarte : US did not ask India to pull back troops from border.

Now the US has denied the reports.

WASHINGTON: The US has denied it asked or advised India to pull back its troops from the India-Pakistan border recently.

"I'm not aware that there have been any conversations recently about that," State Department spokesman Robert Wood told reporters Thursday.

Indeed , Amaad. Every word you said is correct. India, at the present situation can't say US to mind their own business - not because no one is there to say, but this is election time and nobody knows what to say to whom :-).

But this is not the end of the story. Our red brothers, the communist parties of India already warned - if they somehow come to power - that they do a re-postmortum of the lauded nuclear deal.

Waiting....waiting...
