If the Paul Volcker Committee report names the Foreign Minister Natwar Singh as recipient of kickbacks from Saddam Hussein, the routine face saving measure is that the ruling party Congress gets the minister to resign.
But what if the ruling party too received kickbacks from Saddam? By the same logic, should the Congress also ‘resign’?
Surely, the BJP already has this gameplan in mind: if Natwar is somehow sent packing, the Union Government automatically follows suit.
Which is exactly why the Left has come out in support of Natwar Singh.
Brilliant game of Chess, this!

in this saga of anticipatory moves, let us not forget the implications of this report in a more international context. India and US have just started feeling each other up and this could prove to be a lock on the chastity belt.
yes, after bofors kickbacks, sonia gandhi might be eyeing nuclear kickbacks!
Err,Sirji..this has nothing to do with your post,but with no SB, didnt know where to inform you about this....
You have been Tagged :D. Details at my place..kindly carry it forward like a dutiful blogizen :P.
It is not surprising that Natwar has been implicated in the Oil racket(after all he is an Indian politician). His being caught is terrible for the country's image. This man has been going around the world asking for UNSC seat votes. With him on board, no wonder the G4 couldn't achieve much.
