		Mr Singh’s resignation as foreign minister was accepted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and is believed to have followed an intense power struggle led by Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
		Accepting his resignation, the prime minister said Natwar Singh would remain a cabinet minister without portfolio, indicating that although he was defeated in the intra-Congress party battle, he was not quite vanquished.
		Since Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would be keeping the foreign minister’s portfolio, it is likely that Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khursheed Mehmood Kasuri may have to deal with one of the two junior ministers in India’s external affairs ministry during the Saarc summit in Dhaka later this month.
