New Delhi: Days after US and Germany spoke on Congress chief Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification from Lok Sabha, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday (April 2, 2023) criticized the West for its behavior of commenting on inside issues of different nations. Speaking throughout a Sunday morning ‘Meet and Greet’ interplay organised by Bengaluru lawmakers Tejasvi Surya and PC Mohan, the senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief additionally listed two explanation why we see the West commenting on India.Â
“I will give you the truthful answer (on why we see West commenting on India). There are two reasons. It is because the West has a bad habit of commenting on others. They somehow think it is some kind of God-given right. They will have to learn only by experience that if they keep doing this, other people will also start commenting and they will not like it when it happens. And I see that happening,” Jaishankar mentioned.
“The second part of the truth – In our arguments, you are inviting the people to comment on you. Then more and more people are tempted to comment. We also need to stop giving generous invitations to the world saying there are problems in India, and (urging) America and the world (by saying), why are you standing by doing nothing? So if somebody from here goes and says why are you standing by and saying nothing, then obviously they are going to comment. Part of the problem is them, and part of the problem is us. And I think both need fixing,” he added.
“The West thinks it has a God-given right to comment on internal matters of other countries,” the External Affairs Minister mentioned.
