The PM Rocks

A link to the speech of India's PM Manmohan Singh in response to the No-Confidence Motion in the Parliament. Wonderfully crafted, witty and pointed, touching and visionary - too bad he did not read out his statement, he submitted this copy to Speaker as the opposition was creating too much noise and disrupted all activities.

The link.
