I strongly prefer the first hook. The second one is likely true of a lot of people in the world, and doesn't really stand out. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:25, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Length, reference and history verified. I like the first one too. I rewrote it so we know what agency he runs, and took out the bit about the minister resigning because it was making the sentence awkward.

Since the picture is apparently free, I added it. Daniel Case (talk) 01:38, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

How sure are we that the picture is free? It's sourced to the Times of India Web site, which is marked copyrighted/all rights reserved, and the "permission" link just goes to the image file itself - there is no statement of copyright release from the publisher. Questionable at best. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:27, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Marking this OK based on Daniel Case's review. The image should not be used for the reasons given by NorthBySouthBaranof. I nominated it for deletion at Commons. --Orlady (talk) 02:08, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
