What would have happened?
It is gathered from the media news that during the recent bilateral talks between the US President Barack Obama and the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi, Indian Officials had blocked three US reporters from entering the venue to cover the meeting. It was earlier agreed that eight American reporters would be allowed to cover the meeting. This had seriously angered US President's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs who strongly protested the Indian Officials' decision by threatening to pull Obama out of the talks if all the eight US reporters were not allowed to cover the bilateral talks. Finding no other way, the Indian official eventually allowed the full American press delegation together with many other Indian reporters to cover the event.
The question is what would have happened had Press Secretary Gibbs pulled Mr. President out of the bilateral talks?
