Imran Khan Counted Prayer Beads When Donald Trump Talked Kashmir, Modi indiatoday.in

Imran Khan and Donald Trump held a joint press conference on Monday when the Pakistan's prime minister was seen counting prayer beads while the US president answered questions on India-Pakistan relation and Kashmir situation.

Much like politics, diplomacy is also a statement made through optics. In this regard, US President Donald Trump's engagements with the Indian and Pakistani prime ministers stand in stark contrast. While it was all glitz and glamour during Howdy, Modi event in Houston where Prime Minister Narendra Modi "presented" US president to "a mini India in Texas", it was all quiet and somber in New York where Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan met Donald Trump and held a joint press conference.

Besides what was spoken at the press conference, largely dominated by Donald Trump, what caught everyone's attention was Imran Khan counting prayer beads called Misbaha as his US counterpart talked.
