Blunders galore

Manmohan Singh time and again proves his ability to commit repetitive blunders either by himself or through his associates. He seems to have set himself  a quantitative target on the number of misdemeanours and until he achieves that he will remain as prime minister.

Ashwani Kumar may be isolated even within the rowdy cabinet, but the prime minister supports him totally. China has set up base deep within the Indian territory, but so what? Salman Khurshid calls it a localised issue. He is an expert in thinking globally and (non-)acting locally. He has discovered that the Ladakh issue is different from Kargil because we have not lost any soldier in the current episode. His message to China and Pakistan is crystal clear. "You are welcome to intrude our territory as long as you don't inflict any human casuality." Pacifism at its best! Our Foreign Minister is a candidate for Nobel Peace Prize. Ever-supportive Singh will not ask Khurshid why he is not cancelling his trip to China.

Our future ministers will be at a terrible disadvantage. They cannot commit any inappropriate act which has not been done by the present august council of ministers. In addition, they may not have such a supportive leader.
