In March 2009 the news magazine arranged the visit of former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf to the country where he delivered a lecture on the "Challenges of Change". Musharraf thanked the newspaper for the reception and protocol it had offered him during his trip there.[1] Musharraf also noted that the "trust deficit" between Pakistan and India had increased following the Lahore and Bombay attacks. He also said that the conclave organised by India Today can help address the "trust deficit, misperceptions, distortions and lack of understanding and lack of information".[2] Musharraf also said conference like those organised by India Today should also be held in Pakistan.[3]
