Difficult to know what to think really. One thing that jumps out is that (looking on google news) all reports alledging bribery come from India, the denials from Pakistan. There could easily be some geo-politics at work here - India and Pakistan are not the best of friends to say the least!

But then were faced with an offical denial that goes beyond plausabilty: "Pakistan had never indulged in the illegal activity of bribing or buying influence anywhere in the world”.

As if! Methinks the lady doth protest too much! Corruption is endemic in 'lobby politics', and such an outright denial of any wrongdoing ever is absurd. Then again, lying about such activites is routine also.

So I don't know what to think really. I don't know anything about the people involved.
