We also have a view of their views’: Jaishankar replied to US concerns over human rights in India

The Minister of Jaisanhankar’s external affairs on Wednesday made a strong rebuttal to the US on his criticism of “human rights violations” in India, by saying even New Delhi had concerns about human rights in America. “Look, people have the right to have a view of us. But we are also equally entitled to have a view of their views and about interests, and the lobby and sound banks that encourage it. So, every time there is a discussion, I can tell you that we don’t Will be aimed about talking, “he said.

Riposte Jaishankar came a day after he defended Indian Russian oil imports and insisted that the US look carefully at his Western allies before suggesting a new Delhi more than importing energy resources from Moscow.

Speaking at a shared press conference after a 2 + 2 dialogue, Jaishankar said that even “we also took our view of other human rights situations, including in the United States”. “So, we take human rights problems when they appear in this country, especially when they relate to our community. And in fact, we have yesterday’s case that we really stand on top of it,” he added.

Jaisankar Retort on human rights issues occurred after our Secretary of the State Antony Blinken, at a joint press conference on Monday, said that the US was monitoring the latest several “about developments in India, including the increase in human rights abuse by several government, police, and prison officials “.

Responding to the question at a press meeting, Jaishankar said that while human rights issues were not discussed during the current meeting, he had emerged in the past.

This is a subject that has emerged in the past. It appears when Secretary Blinken comes to India. I think if you remember the press briefing after that I was very open about the fact that we had discussed it and said.

In other strong rebutments to the US who had threatened India in the past with sanctions to buy the Russian S-400 Defense System, Jaisankar said that Caatsa (against American enemies through the sanctions law) was US law and American administration to decide.

This is their legislation and what should be done must be done by them,” Eam said on the press, showing that New Delhi was not too worried about sanctions.
