Nut wears India

We have seen consistent performers, consistent non-performers, may be consistent bad-performers, here we have a consistent wrong-perfomer. The irony is he is a part of cabinet ministry of PM Manmohan Singh (MMS). Nutwar singh esquire, is the celebrity whom I am talking about. One cannot comprehend where he is planning India to head. But one can easily make out under his 'able external affairs' India is heading on to solid rock deep under. At the times when even remote villager of India is dreaming about a powerful, assertive India we have a great cook who cooks-up things that makes India a desert.

The day he became India's external affairs minister has become the starting day for MMS for busy firefighting. For, MMS seems to have resigned himself to a handful of vital areas wherein he wants to propel India ahead towards making it a global power. Economy, Foreign relations, Defence are top among them. It is increasingly evident that the PMO has the last say in whatever to happen as India's position. But with his consistency on wrong-performance Nutwar has made MMS life worse than miserable.

Starting from unilateral proposal of the tri-national (indo-china-pak) nuclear 'doctrine' pushed forward by nutwar without even checking with PMO or Pak or china's stand, suddenly from thin air, show-caused how chaotic and idiotic is the proposal and how bad would be India's stand in international arena. China and Pak were quick enough to tell this "doctrine" as crap.

Then it was followed by difference of opinion with the then NSA and PMO Secy. J.N.Dixit (JND). The pressure of fighting with Nutwar kept building on the already-heart patient JND which climaxed at the poor, reasonable JND's life.

Then it was a "demarche" issued to all other ministries when equally dangerous Mani Shankar Ayyar accepted the dinner invitation by some other country's energy minister without consulting External ministry office. This turned out very ugly and exposed the lack of synergy in MMS ministry.

His famous Nepal debacle has no words to explain. That is a class "nutwar" act. When Indian army, defence ministry, PMO was all-ready to help Royal Nepal Army(RNA) despite India's dislike on Gynanendra's parliament dissolution, our beloved foreign affairs minister's dharmendra like stunt brought in worst Nepali's anger towards India. MMS had to pitch-in at the last moment sensing the danger when China and Pakistan were ready to support RNA. From that point, Nutwar is booted out from Nepal affairs.

Then came his "Iran love". His 'no matter whatever it is India will stand by Iran' kind of statement embarrased, or rather harrassed India. Fortunately some last minute events in international arena made PMO's decision easy and India voted against Iran in IAEA. This made Nutwar to shut his verbal diorreah.

Now comes the Siachein debacle. This tops the list. He, without checking with defence ministry or PM or defence chiefs, most likely unilaterally, annouced that India and Pakistan will reduce/withdraw troops from Jan 2006, only to be ridiculed by Musharraf and strong private dissent by India army personnel. Now that he had to issue clarification like no date specific. I will not be astonished to hear from him, sometimes later, about the rollback of his words on siachien withdrawl itself.

Enough of the damages to India. Let Nutwar singh as a congress party person think himself as a great visionary and ruin his utopian country we won't have any problem, but as external affairs ministry he is wearing out the possiblity of India becoming even a regional power.

Yeah! it is Nut wears India and not Nutwar's India as he is dreaming.

I am getting nightmares when I read news that Prakash Karat thinks Nutwar is not performing upto his expectation and he wants to take over external affairs ministry. Should that happen then that is a classic example of 'jumping into the fire escaping from the hot pan'. A devil in the place of demon?! Oh! God give us a break.
