London, Aug. 25: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that there is a monopoly of the PMO on the External Affairs Ministry and that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has no job except spending a lot of time working on people’s visas. Mr Gandhi said,

“Do you realise what that statement means? It means the Foreign Minister has nothing better to do than get people visas. So, only there is the monopoly of the Foreign Ministry, and the PMO (Prime Minister`s Office) has monopoly over the Foreign Ministry,” he said. Sushma Swaraj really has nothing to do, though she is quite a capable lady, the Congress leader said. “If you actually give her the power to do something, she could probably break that monopoly,” he said.

“If you bring in new voices, other think tanks and give them actual power in the Foreign Ministry, it’ll scale immediately.”—
