Back on popular demand, yeh hai 'Parrikar Ki Manohar Kahaniya'!

Mantri ji ne is bar kaafi badi top dagi hai. Nuclear proportions.

I wonder why we say that we don’t use nuclear weapons first. It doesn’t mean that India has to use nukes, but why rule out? This is my thinking. Some may say that Parrikar says nuclear doctrine has changed, it has not changed in any government policy.

Hang on a minute. Are you saying we drop our No First Use Nuclear policy at a public function that you are attending as the Defence Minister of India, and then conveniently covering up all manner of sins with the 'personal view' card?

You basically want India to declare to the world ke bhai, whether you attack or no attack, always know that we can nuke your ass at any time. So much for peace Neta ji!

You are the Defence Minister of the country, Sir. Please, you shouldn't even be having such 'personal views'!

What if the Defence Ministers of China, Israel and Russia suddenly declare the same? (Aside: It’s a different thing altogether that some of them might just be contemplating it.) Won't the world shudder?

Then why casually brush off Parrikar ji's quite intense 'personal views'?

Waise Mantri ji past main kaafi limelight hog kar chuke hain. He has claimed people in Gulf countries refer Indian Muslims as Hindus. He has also defined the army's primary role, and no it's not peace-keeping.

Sir, there's really nothing to send your way but a couple of effective scrubbers and some shudh khadi soap. Dimaag ache se scrub karke clean karneka!

Ghis ghis ke, ghis ghis ke...
