EP-42 | Dr S Jaishankar, No Holds Barred | ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash

India's External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar's illustrious career as a Diplomat spans 38 years including tenures as India's Ambassador in China, the Czech Republic, the USA, Singapore and finally, as Foreign Secretary. He was picked by Prime Minister Modi himself, to be part of his cabinet in 2019 as External Affairs Minister. The articulate Dr S. Jaishankar, in an interesting conversation with Smita Prakash shares his journey from being a diplomat to entering politics. He talks about his father whose career growth as a Cabinet Secretary was halted by Indira Gandhi due to internal politics. He slams the opposition over allegations of being accommodative of China and explains the steps taken by the government to strengthen the security at the LAC. He also reveals how some foreign powers are collaborating to create a false narrative against India as the election approaches.

This is perhaps the golden period of Indian politics with such intelligent, competent and sincere leaders at the helm of our country 😊

[leparibich]

I am not an Indian, I am from Eastern Europe, a big admirer of Dr. Jaishankar. India is 1.4 billion people. It is a big pool of people to have such a brilliant man like dr. Jaishankar, and I am sure there are many more like him. I wish Indian people all the best and to Dr. Jaishankar good health and all the best in his endeavours as a diplomat and politician.

[AS-yfjr]

Indians, aren't we the most fortunate people to have him as our EAM ? 🎉

[adagio]

Chinese here. Man, huge respect to this guy, despite our two countries clashes and differences, gotta pay respect where it is due.

[hovstacoolianz]

India, you are blessed to have PM Modi and FM Jaishankar, protect them and their family. I'm seeing we have the same problem with the liberals and media who are openly pro-west biased.
Greetings from your friend from the Philippines🔥👍

[siddharth-gandhi]

Oh my This is my dream podcast!!!! Dr. Jaishankar is an absolute gigachad, can't wait to listen!!! One of the best EAM minister ever! Blessed to have such great leaders.

[michaelhui]

Indians should be very proud of their minister.
India will be strong and prosperous with leaders like this.
Congratulations, it’s about time,

[syeducchash]

As a Bangladeshi, I think no matter which Indian political party you support, it must be mentioned that current indian foreign policy is the strongest in India's history. We saw Jaishankar sir stand up for India against western double standards and any sort of pressure. Hope prosperity for India.

[rushirajsinhrajput]

Employing him as our FM was one of the most important step taken by modi ji. Proud of you sir. Jai hind.

[calanmacleod]

This man is gold, India has landed on its feet with someone of this caliber. Brilliant, articulate honest and straightforward. Wish my country had someone as based.

[RuchiS]

I'm Part Of The East, I'm Part Of The South, I'm Part Of The West, I'm Universal, I'm INDIA.

[GeetaSingh-till]

What an Inspiration. I had my strong stand towards BJP Leadership because of Narendra Modi, Atal Bihari Vajpaee, Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley. But today I find Dr. S. Jaishankar the most inspirational. Jai Hind.

[chandnisharma]

How do people still not understand that how much our Prime Minister works and how much he cares about India and the light India is presented in on international platform. As Jaishankar sir said I would like to add that we are grateful to have a PM such as Modi ji.

[luke-ldtv]

He is my idol..love from Nagaland.. please recommend some books about our foreign minister

[bittertruth]

Dr. S. Jaishankar and Mr.Ajit Doval are loved by every Indian regardless of political views. Massive respect.

[amarnathvairagar]

Nitin Gadkari, S Jayshankar, Ajit Doval these are the gems in PM Modi's cabinet!!! All these people's are our Pride🙌🏻✨

[rrbaravinda]

Watched the whole program event thought I’m not an Indian, but a Sri Lankan. I was not interested in some the matters subject to discussion, but I was so focused on how he articulate his thoughts and transform them into words. He is classy and there is a lot to learn from him. I wish my country has got someone like him in the politics, as resources like this will take the country into a totally different place on we have never been. He has brought Indian into a unbeatable position and challenged the rest of the world simply showing what it means India to the rest of the world. Cheers.

[vikrambatra]

I am an Indian sikh and i Love my country, my tricolour, sikhs are absolutely against any khalistan movement etc, major arya is correct indian government shld be more prompt about these things, this has been building up for some while, farmers protest was also used similarly for anti india activities, clearly congress and AAP has been playing dirty politics, arrests, conviction on top level in Punjab is really needed fast, it is shocking when police was after him to arrest how cd he vanish? Heads have to start rolling very quickly from police, politicians, people weilding guns in rallies in Punjab, delhi, uk, Canada, us. BUT I ALSO FEEL THAT 1984 massicare in delhi and around the culprits should be punished, no neta has been sent to jail yet, justice has been denied to innocent sikh people who lost their family members for no fault of them. So fundamentally govt has to start hitting all anti peace and anti india and anti indian activities, weather in delhi, kashmir, bengal, Punjab, kerela, or North East, NIA, IB, Govt, agencies have to be very prompt. JAI HIND!
