New Delhi: Foreign Minister S Jaishankar today gave a befitting reply to ‘Uncle Sam’ on a question asked about the US elections. At a program in Delhi, Jaishankar was asked what is India’s reaction to the elections being held in the US later this year? Then the Indian Foreign Minister said that such elections take place every year in India. We organize it continuously. Our elections have just ended recently. As far as America is concerned, we do not comment on the elections of others and we also hope that no one else makes such comments on us. Jaishankar said that elections are liked in our country. We organize it continuously. Our elections actually test the candidate, the public and the system. Jaishankar said that we pass that test continuously. The Indian Foreign Minister said that if we look at it this way, then this is a country where people support the democratic process of the whole world.
Gave a piece of his mind to America
Meanwhile, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar also gave a piece of his mind to America. He said that just as we do not comment on other’s elections, we also expect other countries not to comment on our elections. Actually, he was referring to American comments on the general elections. During the general elections in India, America had given a statement on the religious issue. The US State Department had said that it is committed to promoting universal respect for equal treatment for members of all religious communities and is in talks with countries around the world, including India, on this matter.
Any government comes, India is ready
After this, S Jaishankar said that the decision of elections in America will be given by the system and the people there. This is the process. You can see for the last 20 years or more that our relations with them have been good. No matter who is elected as the President there, our relations will remain the same.
