India can never allow others to have a veto on its choices and it would do whatever was right in the national interest and for the global good "without being intimidated to conform", External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday. He also said that India had been "schooled too long to visualise progress and modernity as a rejection of our heritage and traditions". "Such a country will only exercise influence when it fully leverages its cultural strengths in the global arena," he said. The External Affairs Minister said India had shown to everyone in the last decade that it had the capabilities, confidence and the commitment to advance development across board fronts.
