Get over it. You are not that important Mr Urban Development Minister of India’s UP state, whatever your name is. If the American customs guy held you back for ten minutes, big deal in the cosmic sense. Come one, it’s their job, thousands of us get held up everywhere at airports and we don’t whine and whinge and boycott the event we are going to that country for anyway. Somebody paid for your ticket to go address Harvard University and that venerable institute and Homeland Security have nothing in common. You should have done what you went to do.

You are just one of several thousand unknown political hacks in India with an inflated sense of self. As for Chief Minister Yadav also missing the lecture so much for your love for education, Sir, and your waving the Indian flag. You were miffed because that man was questioned for ten minutes and so you reneged on your mission.

Dude, it takes longer to get your luggage.

They did not strip him or do a Sierra search, they took him aside and he is a nobody. If you ministers had any sense of priority you would do better by getting miffed over the pasting given Sarabjit Singh in a Pakistani jail because your foreign policy power is about that of a bicycle built for two. No one cares for you. You are impotent so you undergo these charades. Now, that is a cause worth taking up. Man up, take on Islamabad, stop mewling about a little inconvenience. It’s not even that. These third tier politicians — they just want publicity and that’s why they do these things and grandstand.
Look at these idiots… it drives me nuts. They swan off to the US, make a scene at the airport, they’ll now run up big bills, shop to their heart’s content,take gifts from the brain dead Indian community, drive the Indian embassy staff crazy, put the Ambassador and the Consul Generals on 24/7 duty and have them running all over the place, feel very brave they took on Uncle Sam and showed him a thing or two and then fly back for free (who is paying for them anyway?) as if they had just fought at the Alamo.

Frankly, if they are on the taxpayer's dime they should be asked to reimburse the exchequer and not hide behind that 'we did it for Indian pride' sentiment because you don't represent India.

Point is fly back at once, on the turn around flight. If you are so damn insulted by the USA why are you still there seeing the sights and mincing about Times Square?
