Does any neighbour have ‘India First policy’? asks opposition; EAM S Jaishankar says…
Live MintDuring the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, Congress MP Manis Tewari stressed the India First policy and asked if any neighbours have an “India First policy”. My question, therefore, is while India may have a neighbourhood-first policy, is there any neighbour of India with an India First policy?” Replying to this, EAM S Jaishankar said, “Before Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to Nepal, for 17 years, there was no visit from India to Nepal. He asked, “Can the minister confirm to the house that after the recent disengagement, all those 26 patrolling points have become accessible and whether the current disengagement validates the 1959 Chinese claim line.” However, the EAM said, “What somebody wrote as a paper is for that somebody to answer. “Ties free of terrorism”, EAM says on Pakistan-India ties Responding to a question by BJP MP Naveen Jindal in the Lok Sabha on improving ties with Pakistan, EAM Dr S Jaishankar said that in terms of improving ties with Pakistan, like any other neighbour, “We would like to have good ties”.
