MEA-Tharoor Tweet.

backdrop.
david headley was an ex-convict, who travelled many times to pakistan after 9/11/2001. he starts visiting india from 2006-2008 number of times on a multiple entry business visa. now he was presumed to have planned various terror attacks, including mumbai attack.

ok now.
1. an ex-convict, and a person who is on a FBI watchlist, how did he managed to get easy multiple entry VISA into india.
2. his various visits to pakistan, should'nt it have triggered an alert to ministry of external affairs (MEA) while issuing VISA.
3. his VISA papers went missing in embasy and took a long time to re-appear(not sure if correct paper has re-appeared).
4. when Dubai market crashed, many keralites and other workers were laid-off via SMS, and across india various channels showed how indian workforce are exploited and the poor conditions they live in.

now what does minister of state(MoS) for external affairs do. does he explain any of these goofups in his tweet or twitter.no.he remained silent on twitter about all of these issues, never ever uttered any word. finally when he tweeted on MEA policy, it was right away blaming visa restrictions that was ensured for security purposes. reason he cited

26/11 attackers never had any VISA--

this statement straight away looked utter foolish, specially becasue there is increasing evidence now that 26/11 "planners" had entered india using VISA. if VISA restriction was severe then, may be 26/11 would not have been planned in the first place.

business is affected because of this--

terrorist attack are not made only for killing civilians, it is also made to crash the business interest of the country, to stop MNC from investing in , make the country a financially instable place. perhaps this was the reason many attacks are made in mumbai, the financial capital of india.
so business interest is very closely assosciated with security. what use in giving unrestricted VISA to foreigners, which also allows certain loopholes and ultimately result in attack on the financial capital.

my opinion, MEA is one ministry which is not in great hands now, including SMK.
