Congress MP and former diplomat Shashi Tharoor has urged External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to 'cool down a bit' and refrain from reacting to every statement by the Western countries. This after Jaishankar blasted the West for commenting on Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as MP and the conviction in Modi surname case. Watch the video for more details.

This reaction of our EAM Sh. Jaishankar ji was very much necessary. I appreciate our EAM's reply to West.

I don't see anything wrong with Sir Jai Shankar's comments, .. India is a free country not any colony...
big changes and revolution starts in park, roadside not in Five Star hotels and,
Full support 💯🙏🇮🇳

[atukurumanoj]

This “cool down a bit attitude “ has been costly for india in the past …Our EAM won’t allow this anymore…it’s time for india to voice out it’s concern’s aggressively 🔥

Indian National Congress is always busy in appeasing western countries and let our India down at international forums. India should be agressive in countering propaganda of western countries like our present government is doing. We Indians support aggressive foreign policy of our government.

Not saying anything for 60 years has turned this practice into a habit.

[kirannnnnn]

Asking West to interfere in indian internal matters, meeting Soros wife, directly in contact with pakistan , funding institutions against india is not a small street issue, its a matter of concern to all of us.

[jaypadhiyar]

Here, , S jaishankar is 100% correct about west .

[rani-uowi]

what he's saying is right but what s jaishankar sir is doing is calmer as compared to how west always tries to bully and defame india, so we need stand against them.. I support s jaishankar 💯

[narayananss]

Tharoor should understand that it’s not just a statement but meddling in internal affairs..

[shivanshusidharth]

This is what happens when you have an EAM who's got the balls to say what is right regardless of what others "FEEL". Throw out the stupid Gandhi philosophy and bring in the attitude of Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose 👊.

[deepachakravarthy]

Shashi’s comments and advise are typical of Nehruvian ideology tinted with a colonel hangover hence the caution is all about seeking approval of the West; and still wants to please.
EAM’s comment is fearless and brave… he is confident as a politician and leader; and know exactly where India is.🌺🙌🏾 Jai Ho!😉

[pratika]

Much respect to Jaishankarji for handling the MEA issues the way he does. Still good advice from Mr. Tharoor. In essence screw the west, keep calm and carry on. Jai Hind!

[kartik]

Dr. Jaishankar doesn't need your advise, Mr. Tharoor. He is always cool. 😎

[TheSastrikal]

Jai Shankarji is touch wood always cool! Never even once seen him lose his mind!!!!✨️✨️✨️

[SanjeevaOfficial]

हां जैसे कांग्रेस पाकिस्तान के आतंक का जवाब नहीं देते थे, वैसे ही जयशंकर सर से उम्मीद करते हैं ये लोग।

[veerroy]

Khangress fears west
West fears Shankar sir

[sujok-acupuncture]

Tharoor is basically a English professor with a bad habit of giving lectures to others.

[SanjeevaOfficial]

जयशंकर सर आगे बढ़ो देश की जनता आपके साथ है, ये कांग्रेसी लोग निकम्मी है।

[sanathanadharmama]

If we listen to guys like Shashi, Bharat will be always down..Jai u r true face of Bharat bravery

[menghao]

It was not some kind of official statement or stated at the official function. It was casual gathering and casual remark. It was a cool response for young audience.
