'Crumbs, more crumbs!'

As for the comment on the passport it has also been quoted out of context unnecessarily. It was never issued as a threat as it has been portrayed, rather as a joke and clarified to be so during the proceedings of that very seminar by the Ambassador himself and his clarification was applauded by the audience. The comment was meant to drive home a point to those who were raising slogans that they did not recognize him as Ambassador of Pakistan, that his official position is beyond doubt. But since Mr Hasan does not believe in verifying facts or listening to logic therefore he missed the lighter side of the comment. Mr. Hasan has the right to express his opinion about Pakistan’s US policy but to do that there is no need to attack Pakistan’s Ambassador in USA.
