— Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj)On Thursday, Pakistan Foreign Minister Qureshi had said Prime Minister Imran Khan bowled a "googly" to ensure Indian government's presence at the groundbreaking ceremony of the landmark Kartarpur Corridor.
"Imran delivered a googly and India sent two ministers to Pakistan," he said, using a cricketing term.
A googly is a leg-spinner's prize weapon, which is almost undetectable.
Qureshi's remarks came a day after External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj categorically ruled out the possibility of resumption of bilateral talks with Pakistan unless it stops cross-border terror activities against India.
