Seeking Global Intervention In India's Issues Will Escalate Problems: Jaishankar On Rahul's Remarks In US
S Jaishankar strongly rebuked Rahul Gandhi's criticism of the PM Modi-led government during his US visit, cautioning against international intervention that could worsen India's problems.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has strongly reacted to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent criticism of the Narendra Modi-led government during his visit to the United States. Jaishankar disagreed with Gandhi's approach, warning that seeking international intervention in India's internal affairs would only bring the country more serious problems. By addressing Gandhi's statements, Jaishankar emphasised the importance of India resolving its issues internally, without external interference, in order to maintain stability and effectively address problems.
"Every country has problems and diversity... People can have views and opinions, but if you say that there are big problems in India and that the world should do something about it, you're inviting bigger problems," Jaishankar said to a group of students at Delhi University's Aryabhatta College, news agency ANI posted a video of the same.
The Union Minister has criticised Rahul's remarks, claiming that it is his "habit" to criticise the country in foreign countries. "The entire narrative was formed within the country, and when it did not work or worked less well, they took it outside." I do not believe that taking the country's politics abroad is in the best interests of the country. I also don't think he'll gain credibility as a result of it," he said on Thursday.
This comes just days after Rahul Gandhi, who recently returned from a six-day, three-city tour of the United States, chastised the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for controlling all political instruments in India. Rahul mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, "I think if you sat Modi ji down next to god, Modi ji would start explaining to god how the universe works. And God would be perplexed by what I had created."
Gandhi also stated at a US event that PM Modi is driving the Indian car by only looking in the rear-view mirror, which will result in "one accident after another."
Soon after his remarks, Rahul Gandhi was targeted by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who claimed that the Congress leader does not back down from "insulting the country" on his foreign trips.
