Partial transcript of emergency call between Modi and Imran Khan regarding recent events
Hello? Uh, hello? Hello, Imran? Listen, I can't hear too well, do you suppose you could turn the music down just a little? A-ha, that's much better. Yeah, yes. Fine, I can hear you now, Imran. Clear and plain and coming through fine. I'm coming through fine too, eh? Good, then. Well then, as you say, we're both coming through fine. Good. Well, it's good that you're fine, and - and I'm fine. I agree with you. It's great to be fine. [Laughs] Now then, Imran, you know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with a missile. A MISSILE, Imran. A ballistic missile. Well now, what happened is, uh, one of our missiles, it had a sort of - Well, its targeting system went a little funny. You know. Just a little funny. And uh, it went off course.
Well, I'll tell you where it's headed. It's headed...for Pakistan.
Well, let me finish, Imran. Let me finish, Imran. Well, listen, how do you think I feel about it? Can you imagine how I feel about it, Imran? Why do you think I'm calling you? Just to say hello?
Of course I like to speak to you! Of course I like to say hello! Not now, but any time, Imran. I'm just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened.
It's a friendly call. Of course, it's a friendly call. Listen, if it wasn't friendly, you probably wouldn't have even got it.
