New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, on Tuesday, launched a scathing attack on External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar for the latter’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, alleging that he had been attempting to destroy India’s foreign policy by running what he called a “full-blown” circus.
The union minister, during his meeting with Jinping in Beijing, conveyed the greetings of President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to China’s top politician. He also “apprised” the Chinese leader about bilateral ties between the two neighbours.
In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi hoped that after Jaishankar apprised the Chinese leader, Beijing would reciprocate by apprising Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”I guess the Chinese foreign minister will come and apprise Modi about recent developments in China-India ties. The EAM is now running a full-blown circus aimed at destroying India’s foreign policy,” Rahul Gandhi wrote on X.
Earlier today, S Jaishankar informed the nation on X about his meeting with Chinese President Xi.
S Jaishankar is on an official visit to China to attend the SCO Foreign Ministers Meeting. On Monday, theExternal Affairs Minister held a meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, and spoke about the need for a far-seeing approach to bilateral ties and building a stable and constructive relationship.
In a post on X, Jaishankar stated, “Held detailed talks with Politburo Member and FM Wang Yi in Beijing this evening. Spoke about the need for a far-seeing approach to bilateral ties and building a stable & constructive relationship.”
