New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has expressed strong opposition to the criticism made by America regarding the Civilian Shipping Amendment Act (CAA). America said that we are considering implementing this law. Regarding that, Jaishankar said, such statements are made without knowing the history. This law will have to be brought so that the problems arising from the partition of India can be solved and the people who were oppressed (affected) in the name of religion after partition can get relief. The world is talking as if India has not been divided. No problem occurred. Actually, this law has been brought to solve those problems. There is a class in the world which presents the problem but leaves out all the historical facts related to it. Then he created a sensation with this. Then they make such statements which suits them politically, then they try to enlighten the world and say we walk on principles, you have no principles.
It is noteworthy that earlier Union Home Minister Amit Shah had said that Muslims are tortured in Muslim countries? Non-Muslims are persecuted, so they settle in India as refugees.
After saying this in the India Today Conclave, the US Ambassador responded to Eric's statement. Jaishankar said that if you say that we have principles then tell them that we also have principles. He said that we cannot give up our principles, let us tell you that we cannot give up our principles either. He said that the foundation of democracy rests on the principle of equality. Not only this, he said that America is keeping an eye on CAA. Let's see how it is implemented.
Even before this, the US State Department had published a statement. At that time India had opposed it and said that we do not need a referendum.
Also, regarding the principled statement of the American Ambassador, Subramaniam Jaishankar told him, 'We also have principles, one of them is to protect those who were tortured during Partition.'
Observers say that the American Ambassador's tongue might have been stitched, saliva might have flowed from his mouth.
