Nutswar Singh

India was to be one of the sponsors of a UN resolution to declare January 27 as a memorial day for victims of the Holocaust.

Natwar Singh, just before he stepped down, prevented that from happening to prove to the Leftists that he was he was not pro-Israel or Pro-US. And since he saw the Volcker report as an American conspiracy against his political career.

The result: On November 1, when the resolution was adopted India stood with countries like Venezuela, Indonesia, and Egypt.

India representative stood with Egyptian represenative who demanded a memorial day "for Muslims too" and the Venezuelan one who wanted a memorial day for "victims of the systematic genocide by America around the world."

Did Natwar discuss this with the PM before taking a random anti-American stand? Looks like he took the Left in confidence.
