An Indian Foreign Service Officer indicates his good academic background, Served as our ambassador and permanent representative in UN indicates that he has the abilities to hansdle bigger assignment.
He is not involved in any scam and nor is there any black spot in hispersonal life.
Is he not better than many who nominated him or opposed his candidature.
Do you want sincere , honest , able person of high integrity or Bangaroo Laxman, Jayalaita, Harshad Mehta, Vinay Katiar, Mr Singhal, Govardhan Zadaphia, Vanzara, Monica Bedi, Abu Salem who are famous to occupy those high places of President or Vice President and Prime Minister.
I think that the selection of Mr Hamid Ansari is a good choice. A few more good people were in the race but perhaps luck was with Mr Ansari.
