S M Krishna quits

Mr Krishna, 80, said he was "making way for younger people".

He has been foreign minister for three years......

Mr Krishna was widely criticised by Indian opposition politicians :

for reading out the wrong speech at the United Nations in 2011.  ::redcard::

He was three minutes into a speech drafted for the Portuguese foreign minister

before an aide drew his attention to the error.... ::redface::

He said the oversight was understandable :

as all such speeches began with the same preambles. ::lol::
