In a democratic society, even if the present government believes in the contrary, all have freedom to entertain his/her own views and express them. Most definitely, Nandan is entitled too.
What makes his statement interesting is the context and timing. Hardly few days back, his mentor made critical observation on PM’s handling of current state of affairs. It is well known that Nandan is in a position which ranks pari passu with a Cabinet Minister.
It does not call for knowledge of rocket science to infer that UPA govt. is pitting him against his mentor in a feeble attempt to sway large IT and non-IT workforce who are pouring onto streets, both in India and abroad, with their personal gadgets helping them with instant interchange of information.
As an individual Nandan has as much rights as any person next to him but in his present position he needs to tread the path more carefully. His statements are both obvious and not so obvious. Even a not so refined student of Mathematics knows that the number of paths from a point A to B are infinite. For Nandan’s benefit, mathematically that number is not represented by Aleph-nought (smallest known infinity ex: number of integers). In a Euclidean plane, it is represented by Aleph-1, next higher order infinity (ex: number of real numbers)!
Coming to the other report, it is exactly what PM had been saying in Parliament! Should a technocrat in his present position mislead the educated youth at this juncture by parroting PM?
