What a 'laff'?

Slamming the Modi government for its inept handling of the foreign policy, a worthy of the Congress party had the following observations and before I go any further, I must reiterate that I'm quoting from press reports gleaned from the national newspapers:-

   "The so-called India-Pakistan joint statement issued at Ufa is not a breakthrough but 
     break-our-bones."

The very same worthy went a step further by saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has failed the country with respect to Jammu and Kashmir and foreign policy. He argues that the Modi government was incapable of strategic thinking! He believes that the current foreign policy has a tinge of policing in it!!

And everyone of you might be trying to figure out as to who this worthy was. It's none other than Mr. Salman Khurshid, the minister of external affairs of the previous UPA government! His tenure was the most lacklustre in the country's history and best known for its 'reactive orientation', completely lacking in initiative and clarity of thought.

My take.

Yet another example of personal hatred colouring professional vision. For the sake of the country's good, speak right and do not criticise for the sake of doing so. By doing so, your own credentials are gonna take a hit. Or am I missing the point? Is he ruing the loss of opportunities during his tenure?

One can only 'laff' at his discomfiture!


Tailpiece.

It was yet another wet day. After a break in monsoon during the first half of the month, is it gaining momentum? If affirmative, it's good for the entire country!
