Sushma Swaraj  prayed for non vivisection of United Kingdom ( and at  her own peril) 

New Delhi. It is irony of ironies . The lady, a few months ago,  prayed for the territorial integrity of United Kingdom  threatened by Scotland referendum. When a reporter asked Sushma about the prospect of division of United Kingdom lady replied -"A break-up of the UK? God forbid. I don't think any such possibility exists at the moment." Perhaps, Sushma was not properly briefed about the upcoming referendum and when a foreign ministry official murmured a few words in her ear she added,"It is up to the people of Scotland to decide."
And this week the first conspiracy to destabilize the  Narendra Modi government was manufactured at  that very land . It is still not clear what was the immediate provocation/motivation for this.
In earlier National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government a similar controversy originated from British High commission at New Delhi. The promising BJP ideologue K.N. Govindacharya, after his meeting with British diplomats,  was quoted as saying that Prime Minister Vajpayee was only a Mukhauta (mask), the real leader is Advani. The young ideologue repeated denied making such a comment but  Oxbridge educated and British council trained native journalists used  the 'comment'  to target both- Govindacharya and Vajpayee . The controversy put an end to Govindacharya's political career.
Sushma, no doubt, would survive this manufactured controversy and like any other revengeful Indian woman she would certainly strike back. UK might not survive Nicola Sturgeon's next referendum.
