Shri George W. Bush, Bharat Ratna

At first I thought it is some kind of wonderful satire, but sadly it wasn’t. Congress spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi thinks George W. Bush should be awarded  India’s highest civilian honour.

Former US president George W Bush should be given Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour, for his contributions to the India-US  nuclear cooperation programme, a senior Congress leader said here on Friday.

“Give Bharat Ratna to Bush. I don’t know what the rules are but I will officially do something,” Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said at the annual general meeting of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI).

Now, that India’s highest civilian award has now been degraded to an honour for idiots, may I suggest Abhishek Singhvi be awarded the Bharat Ratna first. Then follow it up by giving Himesh the honour. And then… well, the list is endless.
