National Security Advisor (NSA) MK Narayanan has been given the status of Minister of State (MoS) at the Center and he performs like a minister too.
After witnessing the performance of Former NSA Brajesh Mishra and J N Dixit, this guy is a slacker. Actually its the entire setup. Some vague Prathibha Patil replaces the Dymanic APJ Abdul Kalam as President, Sonia Gandhi (lets keep the peer Manmohan singh out of it) replaces dynamic PV Narasimha Rao and AB Vajpayee etc.
MK Narayanan was the butt of all jokes as he joined. Then via his PR (same for Prathibha and Sonia) silenced his critics. Now again, its the election time. We can see that he has been a no good.
First he should (and all UPA ministers also) should stop behaving that they are not in power. For example something goes wrong, they blame the system. NSA has blamed everyone every time something goes wrong. He forgets that he is the system and has power to change it. But he won't, he lacks class. He is no JN Dixit or Brajesh Mishra. Classic of his blames was "intelligence agencies, the very agencies that he is supposed to supervise, for not providing “actionable intelligence” on terror attacks." This guy Narayanan is Ex IB chief.
Secondly, he needs common sense. While every Indian is aware of Chinese on India, MK Narayanan went on to launch a tirade against China, alleging Beijing tried to spoil India's party at (NSG meeting)Vienna. He said India was taken by surprise by the Chinese.
Then he needs to have confidence in himself or at least have confidence in others. His inner self should not reflect on others ability. For example US president Bush. But MK Narayana made an astounding claim in a television interview on Saturday that "divine intervention" might have secured for the country a "waiver" from the Nuclear Suppliers' Group (NSG). He needs to be told that god helps the people who helps themselves. But you know, stupid people also make the point sometimes. I really liked the way Chinese foreign Minister cringed because of tactless Narayanan.
The recent kashmir issue. MK Narayanan was invisible initially (he was in Vienna just like Finance Minister Chidambram was in Washington during peak Inflation), then came up with Iron Fist strategy. Needless to say, both the terrorist and the nationalist defied even the Indian Army and were on the streets.
MK Narayanan needs to listen above his own PR din. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi had forewarned the Central Government about possible bomb blasts in Delhi.
Advani said and added, NSA M.K. Narayanan was also told about this.
After so many bomb blasts in the country and outside, MK Narayanan is still safe in his seat. Hence he is our first Notional Security Advisor.
