Jaishankar's 'India Not A Bully' Remark
On March 2, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, while addressing an event to promote his book 'Why Bharat Matters', said "big bullies don't🎀 provide $4.5 billion aid when the neighbours are in trouble" while responding to a query if India was being perceived as a "bully" in the region🌊.
Jaishankar's remark clearly came as a stern response against Maldivian President Mohamad Muizzu's statement in January where he said that no country had the right to "bully" the island 🔥nation.
At the event, Jaishankar also said that "big bullies don't supply vaccines to other countries when Covid-19 is on or make exceptions to their own rules to respond to food demands or fuel demands or fertiliser demands because s💯ome war in some otಌher part of the world has complicated their lives".
He also stressed that India's trade and investment with Nep🌊a🍷l, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh and the Maldives have seen a sharp rise over the past few years.
