<b>No stopping Natwar</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>"It gives me no pleasure to say that he is a weak PM, unable to stand by his colleagues,"</b> he told Karan Thapar in an interview for CNN-IBN.
<b>"I have worked with him (Manmohan Singh) for 40 years ... he knew nothing of foreign affairs ... when I am in difficulty he does not have the courage or camaraderie to say something in my favour,"</b> he said.
Without naming anyone, Natwar Singh alleged that two ministers in the present Government had hatched a conspiracy against him.
On whether <b>he was pointing an accusing finger at Union Ministers P Chidambaram and Kapil Sibal,</b> he said, "It is for you to draw your own conclusions."
Natwar Singh also alleged that the two ministers had selected lawyers prejudiced against him to assist the Pathak Inquiry Authority, which probed the Iraqi oil scam and indicted him and his son Jagat for misusing their positions to get oil contracts for persons close to them.
Natwar Singh maintained that the signatures on the three letters purported to have been written by him to the Iraqi oil minister about his son Jagat and Delhi-based businessman Andaleeb Sehgal, were his but claimed that the language was not.
<b>"The signatures are mine but the content is not mine. I have no idea who wrote the letter ... the language is not mine ... the letters are a cut and paste job,"</b> the former minister said when asked about the introductory letter given by him to Andaleeb Sehgal.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma criticised Natwar Singh's attack on the Prime Minister and claimed it had no credibility because he had been "exposed" by the Pathak Authority.

Nutwar thinks its all about who want to be closer to Queen. Sibal is wicked and snake, Nutwar is worse. It will be fun to watch fight.
Sibal is backed by young turks of Congress youth. Looks like he is eyeing for Delhi CM.
