A day after opposition MPs interrupted foreign minister Jaishankar’s speech in the Rajya Sabha to protest, the minister made a 21-minute statement on the most recent advancements in Indian foreign policy. “Unfortunately, during my statement in both Houses of Parliament, the Opposition constantly interrupted me.

Evidently, partisan politics took precedence over national advancement for them, Jaishankar said, noting that his main points would be covered in his video. A slogan battle between the NDA and the INDIA MPs began on Thursday when Jaishankar was addressing in the Rajya Sabha. The opposition MPs began chanting “INDIA, INDIA” as the NDA MPs yelled “Modi, Modi.” “What kind of I.N.D.I.A. are you if you claim to be I.N.D.I.A. and you are not willing to listen to the national interests of India?” On Thursday, Jaishankar stated.

Raghav Chadha, an AAP member of the Rajya Sabha, criticised the statement on Thursday, saying that although wearing the “garb of a statement on foreign policy,” Jaishankar spent nearly 30 minutes discussing the Prime Minister’s plans for his international tour. But it was disappointing that he didn’t read out the menus for the food. How was he able to miss such important details? said Raghav Chadha.
