External affairs
‘External affairs’ seem to be keeping minister of state Shashi Tharoor quite busy these days while not much is known about what exactly he has been doing in his ministry. The minister, who is known for his arrogance and flamboyance, is now complaining of an attack on his privacy. He would have done better if he had thought about the privacy angle before he chose to plunge into electoral politics. Tharoor has decided not to give up and has been matching strokes with Lalit Modi. He is now trying to convert the IPL imbroglio into some kind of a Congress versus BJP issue.It is so very ironical that the minister, who is crying foul over remarks for his interest in one of the owners of the Kochi team, is terming it personal while putting all his professional clout to get through the deal of IPL Kochi team -- the one recently introduced and which is expected to take part in the fourth edition of IPL crickettournament. IPL chief Lalit Modi, who had sought the details of consortium partners for Kochi team, was termed as an opposition man who was trying to malign the image of UPA government. Although Tharoor has also responded well by hurling remarks about Modi’s past and his arrest for alleged possession of cocaine in the United States.It is really difficult to understand if all this is cricket or an ‘external affair’.
