The Ministry of External Affairs is the slowest monolith that is part of the creature called the Government of India. While the governments across the world have organised the exit of their citizens from Libya in a swift and orderly fashion, the MEA seems to have woken up from its slumber rather late.
The MEA has once again proved inefficient in organising such a basic task. And that too when it happened on expected lines just weeks within similar stories in Tunisia and Egypt.
The Indian "main stream media" too seems to be towing the line of the MEA with not even a single report criticising the Jurassic era ministry, headed by someone from that age as well. The mediamen are afraid that their free junkets to foreign countries will stop if they as much as raise a finger against the powers that be in the MEA.
We have been unable to bring our citizens home, while other countries, including China (with which we often try to compare ourselves) have brought en back to their homes safely.
It is time that someone is made to pay for all this. Some heads have to roll and the country needs to know how the things were let to deteriorate so much.
