Jaishankar slams US-Germany’s remarks on Rahul disqualification row

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has criticized the West for its habit of commenting on internal matters of other countries.”The West thinks it has a God-given right to comment on internal matters of other countries,” External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Sunday.Jaishankar made the above remarks during a Sunday morning ‘Meet and Greet’ interaction organised by Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya and Bengaluru Central MP PC Mohan with over 500 young voters, joggers and visitors at Cubbon Park.It was the Foreign Minister’s reaction to a question on Germany and the United States’ remarks on the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as a Member of Parliament.Jaishankar said, “I will give you the truthful answer (on why we see 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.”
