Then, Akram used language against India that would make a hood blush. "It was a real deterioration, the incredible language this gentleman used. It is the opposite of what is happening in the region," commented a US diplomat. Most of the West, including the US and EU, abstained indicating their changing attitudes towards the subcontinent. India’s permanent representative Vijay Nambiar said the vote was "a slap in Pakistan’s face". It is the lowest margin of votes for this stock resolution. So disliked is Akram in the UN, he lost a post-retirement job he lobbied hard for to a Japanese candidate. He even skipped the UN’s fact-finding trip to Afghanistan to lobby full-time in New York. Does Pervez Musharraf know how his man is squandering whatever goodwill Pakistan has? And we won’t even go into Akram’s boorish ways with women.
