The most useless ministry of the Indian government though it has some serious competition from others such as the I&B ministry rattles out against the so called “guests” for violating Indian law by protesting against what he laughably termed as a “friendly” country.Never mind the history of his ministry’s and his “friendly” country’s contribution in creating circumstances forcing them to live as “guests” in a foreign land.

Well Mr MEA spokesman, if the Tibetans who have contributed to their adopted land as much as possible by working hard for a living and serving in its security forces with distinction are to be insulted with the moniker of “guest” who should shut up at your ministry’s convenience. What should your useless ministry which merely occupies some precious real estate in the capital and in other parts of the world doing nothing other than living off the hard earned money of the Indian tax payer be called?

The cognitive dissonance and China love of this ministry is sickening. How can it possibly classify China as a “friendly” country when it is illegally occupying thousands of square kms of Indian territory and lusting for even more? And how does it consider it a “friendly” country when it is supplying nuclear weapons and missiles to an enemy country which is crystal clear about its intentions of using it against India rather than mere self-defence? And the less said about its support for the militants of the north-east and the Naxals in India and Nepal the better.

One wonders whether there is a crucial sub-text when he calls China a “friendly” country, does he mean that it is “friendly” country among those who sympathise with its ideology? which in this country includes a foreign secretary who is a famous apologist for the Chinese junta.

And why is the MEA interfering in the affairs of the Home ministry? isn’t it that ministry’s job to speak about whatever happens within the country including domestic law and order issues if any?

The MEA would do better to respect the sentiments of the Indian taxpayer who pay for their luxuries with their hard earned money and realise that the Indian public may or may not sympathise with the plight of the Tibetans but they certainly do not like a ministry of the Indian government holding a brief for an untrustworthy and unfriendly country like China no matter even if those in that ministry feel a certain ideological affinity and emotional attachment with the ruling junta there.

And to answer the spokesman and his pontifications on the law of the land, The Tibetan community have as per the law of this land every right to hold peaceful demonstrations and his ministry or any other has no right whatsoever to seek to curtail it.
