Yeh wali kitab parh Kay...
This Unquiet Land by Barkha Dutt

Unknown to the media and certainly the public, both Modi and Sharif had found someone to “keep them connected even when things got difficult”, Dutt writes, describing Sajjan Jindal as an informal messenger serving as a “covert bridge” between the two leaders.
During their first meeting when Nawaz visited Delhi for Modi’s swearing-in cermeony the two premiers decided to keep the reins of the relationship in their hands, said Dutt.
“However, they agreed that it could be useful to talk informally through a
mutual acquaintance they both felt comfortable with.”
The acquaintance was Jindal, who hosted a tea party for Nawaz after his meeting with Modi in New Delhi.
When Dutt went to meet PM Nawaz at the Capital’s Taj Mansingh hotel, she saw Jindal escort his son Hussain for lunch.
“It was no secret that Indian steelmakers, both state and private players, were looking to foster friendly relations with Pakistan; they needed this to happen so they could ferry iron ore from Afghanistan by road across Pakistan to India,” Dutt writes.
