I don't know Ahmad Nawaz, if you would put that tag of spineless, servile idiots, on P V Narasimha Rao, or even Atal Behari Vajpayee. What is needed is a clear hard-headed vision: this bit of tinkering with a law here to gain a local advantage there, ignoring the crimes of your supporters, while setting the hounds on your opponents, roiling the country with reservations, when you are currently unable to fill up the early generous quota, the incredible pettiness and shabbiness of a health minister who seeks to humiliate an eminent surgeon, and gets Parliament to pass a law to oust him, all these are something that we can see, but unfortunately not the politicians. The 'upright, honest, intellectual, eminent economist' who is our PM says he has taken all these measures in the nation's interest.
When you are bogged down in such cheap, squalid mean little manipulations and maneuvering, the last thing that is possible is to flex your your muscles internationally, or make yourself heard.
