In an upcoming episode of ‘Aap Ki Adalat,’ Union External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has taken a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent praise of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) during the G20 Summit in Brussels.
Jaishankar, known for his strategic communication skills in the realm of international relations, discussed various topics of international importance during the interview with India TV Chairperson and Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma.
Jaishankar expressed his disappointment with the timing of Rahul Gandhi’s comments, stating, “India is organizing the greatest event in history, where we should all come together and appreciate it, yet at that time, he is going out and condemning the country.” The Minister emphasized that sometimes people reveal their true positions by mistake, the channel said in a statement.
Addressing Rahul Gandhi’s praise for the Belt and Road Initiative, Jaishankar highlighted that it passes through the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), infringing upon India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He firmly reiterated that PoK is an integral part of India and will remain so.
During the interview, Jaishankar also provided insights into the successful G20 Summit and how India managed to gain consensus on the G20 Delhi declaration. He explained how this achievement would benefit the world at large and open doors to new opportunities.
The discussion on ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ extended to several other critical topics, including India’s relations with China, the growing Khalistan movement in Canada, and India’s pursuit of permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
In this engaging interview, Jaishankar shared his remarkable journey from a diplomat to a cabinet minister, shedding light on the intricacies of India’s foreign policy and global diplomacy.
