Yechury pat for speech-writer

While various political parties had different views on the content of US President Barack Obama’s speech in Parliament, everyone showered praise on its style and narration. After the speech, Obama went for the dinner with India’s president, where his chief speech writer, Terence P Szuplat, was also present. CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury was sharing the table with Szuplat, and when the latter introduced himself to Yechury, the Left leader told him, “It’s an excellent speech. You have done your homework really well.” Szuplat is the senior director of the speech writing department in the National Security Council of the US.
