They should hit it off pretty well. After all, both are Communists.
Although, for all his faults, I'll give Ak this: he's actually taking a tough stand w.r.t. to the border with China.

Couldn't agree with you more on your closing comment of "indecisive but honest guy".
Why the Red Dragon thing seems to be irritated with our Item.
The Chinese minister gives me the jitters….Sure looks like an offense minister with an evil touch…our Anthony is cuddly compared to him
Kannan my dear,
Antony has and always well be left of centre. He was even suggested as a 'compromise' leader back when the Left was supporting the UPA.
His MoD's long history of one-sidedly putting the monopoly of the Defence PSUs and Ordinance Factories over the demands of the armed forces and the private defence sector should be testament to that.
Anthony looks like a little mouse, in the glare of the dragon :-). I do agree he is an honest man. We could do with his type in Pakistan.
