BJP today said the faux pas by external affairs minister S M Krishna at the UN Security Council was bound to happen as the country had leaders who "read speeches rather than deliver them."
   
"This is bound to happen when we have people who read speeches rather then deliver them," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said here.
   
She claimed that due to the gaffe, India stood embarrassed at an international forum.
   
"Today, the level of incompetence has reached to its optimum," she said.
