Kissinger, who met BJP leader L K Advani yesterday, sought to emphasise that he was not here to push the deal. “Inevitably, this issue figured in our discussions. He (Advani) explained his perception of India’s necessities,” he said, adding “I did not make any particular attempt to influence.” US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, attending the Fortune Global Forum meeting, expressed optimism over operationalisation of the deal. “I am an optimist. I think good ideas automatically get done,” he said. “India is a vibrant democracy... the democratic process has to work. It (deal) is possible when India moves forward,” he said.
