For the want of credit

With the return of the two Italian marines to New Delhi, who submitted to the apex court jurisdiction, the Bharatiya Janata Party was suddenly seen claiming the credit for it. It said its "pressure tactics" had yielded the results. To this, a bemused External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said, "I find it a little difficult to conceive that the Opposition had any part to play in the marines returning, but if it wants credit... fine."
