Arnab Goswami was so inflamed by the affront that his voice was shaking with indignation as he ranted about how Indian MPs had been humiliated by “Pakistani stooges” — Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani and former Hurriyat chairman Abdul Ghani Bhat. The footage was certainly cringeworthy: Indian MPs standing outside Geelani’s door as supplicants and the separatist leader not even opening his door to them.
