[size=10pt]President's son conducts personal business on official tour
New Delhi, IANS:

President Pratibha Patil's son Rajendra Singh Shekhawat, who accompanied his mother on her recent trip to Latin America, "disappeared" for a day to conduct personal business in the US, keeping his Mexican hosts in the dark.

Shekhawat, according to people in the know, flew to Miami in the wee hours of April 17.

According to these sources, authorities in Mexico, the second halt in the president's three-nation tour, had not been informed about Shekhawat's trip to the US, where he is believed to have held some discussions on a business tie-up for his family-run educational institutions.

Rashtrapati Bhavan spokesperson Archana Datta said: "There was a long pending invitation from the University of Florida for academic purpose. Since Shekhawat was in Mexico, he took the opportunity to visit the university.

"He bore the expenses for his visit," the official added.

The president's family runs a chain of schools and colleges in their home district of Jalgaon in Maharashtra and Mumbai.

Shekhawat was missing from the banquet hosted by Mexican President Felipe Calderon at Castilo de Chapultepec. According to those who attended the banquet, a seat was reserved for Shekhawat. External affairs ministry officials admitted his "disappearance" was a "serious breach of protocol" as the president's son also was considered as a VVIP in the delegation.

The Indian embassy in Washington had specially sent an officer to Miami to receive the VVIP. Shekhawat spent only a day in Miami where he held business discussions in the hotel itself.

He was missing from the president's team when it visited the Teotihuacan Pyramids in Mexico. But he was present at the lunch hosted by Jalisco Governor Emilio Gonzalez Marquez at his palace in Guadalajara on April 19.

Besides her son, the president was accompanied by her husband Devisingh Ram Singh Shekhawat.

I think President of India Post is most suitable for unmarried personlities.

At the maiden foreign visit of the President of India, there were lot of embrassments for the Government of India - Government has to bear as there is no other alternative.

Electrol college should apply their mind and select people in the Office - after election notghing can be done. after all selection for the post itself was based on long standing friendship of a single family, if that be so, why husband or son cannot accompany high profile Head on their foreign visit.

anything gone wrong initially will go wrong for ever.

[p.s.] people of India knows the previous President of India took just two Suit case (just few of his dresses) and vacated the Rashtrapathi Bhavan, who use his own money (even for posal charges) for reply to his family and friends. for the visit of his family to Official residence, he borne the expenses from his own savings.

for such a personality, during the end of his Office some Cabinet Ministers gove insulting words about re-election (just for a moment slip of a word -- that because of Media's mischief.

in the previous occassion it was a slip of a word, so to a decent person, people have talked much - know slip is world ("R" -- 'r' meant for righteous) has sliped, so our head is down in the world.

whatever may be whether corruption or anything, if there is a media glare, then people will talk (just talk only - afterwords every one conveniently forget). If media support is there nonthing can be exposed.

even this incident has got very poor media support - because family is very powerful

even in Nepal monorchy came to an end/

In India, Nehru becoming Prime Minister was under cloud - then for Smt. Indra Gandhi - though she came - here performance was not that bad. Sanjay could not succeed - but Rajiv make a cake walk.
Will there be no end for this

why to talk about wastage of public money - when power itself is under cloud.
