Manmohan in America?

Here is the first para of a news I saw on wire today:

{WASHINGTON: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said India and the United States are making an effort to translate the shared convictions and values to partnership and cooperation and termed the growing Indo-American community a key partner in this endeavour.}

I was wondering exactly when did Prime Minister Manmohan Singh go to Washington. Apparently he didn’t go. Singh said all that in a message.

That shows that we have a Prime Minister who cares for safety, at least his own. It’s dangerous to go to America these days.

Ask George Fernandes, who shares his first name with the First Citizen of United States. That did not deter American securitywallas to ask him to take off his suit and shoes before allowing him in.

Manmohan Singh wears a turban and for the average security in charge at American airports a bearded man in turban is a threat to the Big Apple, especially when the threat level is raised to orange, the highest risk colour for Americans.
