The French press has hailed the new incumbent in to the MEA, Salman Khurshid as "Illustrious" ,
While some (including myself) may argue that this is yet another glaring example of sycophancy even if mired with charges of corruption being rewarded in the Congress , one cannot feel this to be a welcome relief after the long stint of gaffe prone Krishna, who did little else to justify his appointment, apart from travelling far and wide (87+ countries in total).
Khurshid is obviously one the most suave verbarian, among the congress ranks , and his charm with words belies a shrewd brain behind those glasses
