Velvet glove
New York, Dec 18 (IANS) All the roads of world terrorism lead to Pakistan that has got velvet glove treatment with zero results, says India born British novelist Salman Rushdie.
'The headquarters of the Al Qaeda, the headquarters of the Taliban, the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammad is in the world centre of terrorism - Pakistan,' Rushdie told a packed auditorium of the Asia Society while participating in a discussion, 'Understanding the Mumbai Attacks', in mid-town Manhattan Wednesday evening.
Can you tell me what they mean by "velvet glove" here?
