In the latest buzz of Bollywood, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan showered praise on India’s External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, for his recent statement on India’s diplomatic stance. Jaishankar’s words garnered attention amidst the ongoing diplomatic tension between India and the Maldives.
India’s Diplomatic Stance
Jaishankar’s remark, applauded by Bachchan, comes as a response to the perception of India being seen as a “bully” in the region. Addressing an event promoting his book ‘Why Bharat Matters,’ Jaishankar emphasized India’s role as a responsible neighbor and global player.
A Responsible Neighbor
Highlighting India’s commitment to its neighboring countries, Jaishankar pointed out instances where India extended aid and support without any ulterior motives. He emphasized that true leadership lies in helping others during times of need, not in exerting dominance.
Maldives Diplomatic Row
The backdrop of Jaishankar’s statement is the ongoing diplomatic row between India and the Maldives. The Maldivian President’s earlier remarks on not tolerating bullying from any nation further fueled tensions between the two countries.
India’s Support During Crisis
Contrary to the perception of India being a bully, Jaishankar showcased India’s efforts in providing assistance during crises. From financial aid to supplying vaccines, India has been actively supporting its neighbors and other countries in need.
Rise in Trade and Investment
Jaishankar also highlighted the significant increase in trade and investment between India and neighboring countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. This demonstrates India’s commitment to fostering strong bilateral relations in the region.
