To a question, he said: My Jhapi [to Pakistan army chief] was noconspiracy, it was no Rafale deal…I hugged you…is this a conspiracy orwhat? If somebody tells me that they are ready to open the Kartarpurcorridor. I mean they said it 400 times that we are ready to open thecorridor then this is the way I show affection. I will hug and also kissthem. I care two hoots about people who play dirty politics on that. I havelived my life on my terms.
