Kudos to Shri Jaishankar’s for trashing imbecile American Leaders’ idiotic Comments On India
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is an American think tank based in Washington, DC.
The organisation generally focusses on advancing international peace, security, and global governance but like all things American, it too has tendency at times to go on a tangent.
EAM paid a visit to the Carnegie Endowment office in Washington to take part in a fireside chat with Carnegie’s President Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuellar.
Jaishankar’s visit to Washington comes on the heels of last week’s Quad Summit and a spate of high-level meetings coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
During his fireside chat with Carnegie’s Tino Cuellar on Tuesday, when asked about US leaders commenting on India’s democracy, Jaishankar bluntly reminded him ” I have every right to comment on your comment. So don’t feel bad when I do.
“External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, highlighted the need for mutual respect and boundaries in international diplomacy, particularly between democracies, during a recent discussion on India-US relations at the Carnegie Endowment office in Washington, DC.
High headed American politicians and bureaucrats at times act very crudely and come to senses only when paid back in same coin.
At times countries’ internal issues can have international implications. “The world is very globalised,” Jaishankar noted.
“As a result, the politics of any country doesn’t necessarily stay within the national boundaries of the country. However ” the United States, of course, makes a special effort to ensure it doesn’t.
That’s part of how you’ve conducted your foreign policy over many years.” Well in a multipolar World the Americans have to realize that there will be a return punch too and may be harder …..like China does it.
Jaishankar’s comments come amid ongoing discussions on the US-India relationship. He emphasised that foreign interference is a critical concern and stated, Foreign interference is foreign interference.
“But if you look at a state-to-state, government-to-government level, we think it’s important that democracies are mutually respectful. It cannot be that one democracy has a right to comment on another, and that’s part about promoting democracy globally,” he said.
“But when others do that, then it becomes foreign interference. Foreign interference is foreign interference, irrespective of who does it and where it is done,” he added.
USA has to desist from trying to lecture or interfere in Affairs Indian because now India is in no mood to accept such behaviour from any quarters and will gladly pay back in the same coin.
During his hour-long engagement at Carnegie, Jaishankar also addressed pressing global issues, including the Ukrainian Conflict, the prospect of an “Asian NATO,” and the future of Taiwan.
He fielded questions on India’s neighbourhood policy and the government’s relationship with the Indian diaspora.
