India’s Jaishankar laments West for its ‘bad habit of commenting on India’

Foreign Affairs Minister S Jaishankar lashed out at the West on Sunday for its “habit” of interfering in India’s and other countries’ domestic affairs. During a ‘Meet and Greet’ interaction at Cubbon Park in Bengaluru organised by Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya and Bengaluru Central MP PC Mohan, Jaishankar slammed the West in response to a question about Germany and the United States remarks on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification as a Member of Parliament.

He said, “The West thinks it has a God-given right to comment on internal matters of other countries. I will give you a truthful answer (on why we see the 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.”
