India & World
By Harish Khare
Just before arriving in New York city, Mr. Vajpayee informed the accompanying media through his Information Adviser that he was in touch with his political and ministerial colleagues back home. He is also reported to have told Doordarshan that perhaps Murli Manohar Joshi had acted in haste in putting in his papers in the wake of the Rae Bareily court verdict in the Babri Masjid demolition case. It is indeed fortuitous that the trouble back home has erupted when Mr. Vajpayee has two engagement-free days here. The first Vajpayee public event does not take place till Sunday evening when he attends a reception for the Indian community, hosted by Ambassador Bhisham Agnihotri. The Prime Minister made a rather quiet entry into New York. As it is, the city is self-absorbed in its cosmopolitism and rarely allows itself to be impressed by kings, presidents or prime ministers. It refuses to pause in its rhythm for the annual United Nations shows, and it does not look like that it will make any exceptions in Mr. Vajpayee's case.
