Darpan News Desk IANS, 11 Aug, 2014 07:27 AM
    The US is embracing India because it is disgusted with Pakistan and Indo-US ties are not about "values and friendship", a Pakistani newspaper said Monday.

    "Modi ... will never compromise on India’s economic and military gains. This is all he needs to have in mind when playing international politics. This is all that matters in the international arena."
