‘India’s monthly oil purchase from Russia is less Europe’s in an afternoon’, says S. Jaishankar

#SJaishankar
India's Minister Of External Affairs Dr S Jaishankar said, ‘If you're looking at India's energy purchases from Russia, I'd suggest your attention should be on Europe. We buy some energy necessary for our energy security. But I suspect, looking at figures, our purchases for the month would be less than what Europe does in an afternoon.’

Such a calm and composed answer. I would have loved to see the reporter's reaction to this stupid hypocrisy of the West.

Mr Modi and Dr S JAISHANKER are Gem 💎 for INDIA.

[maniaphobia]

The context of one month purchase quantity Vs one afternoon purchase quantity is well understood by indian public and appreciated ; It might be addressed to the press there ; No locus standi to talk about that by west ;

America thinks India is still a Western colony haha

Jaishankar, Gadkari and vaishnaw should lead the country for next 10 years. This trio is our only bipartisan hope for development & prosperity.

USA will come for our blood when we grow enough as a threat to their hegemony. Better to be self sufficient in all sectors and diversify foreign reserves. And we need to develop Indian rupee based trade
