News India Live, Digital Desk: We often say that there are no true friends or enemies in politics. But the friendship between India and Russia proves this saying wrong again and again.
The view of Rashtrapati Bhavan yesterday evening was different. When Russian President Vladimir Putin became India’s guest, the atmosphere there was not only formal but also very friendly. President Draupadi Murmu had organized a grand banquet in his honour. But more than the food, the “speech” that Putin gave there is being discussed more.
Come, let us know in very simple language what Putin said in praise of India at the dinner table that today the whole world has perked up.
1. “India is a Great Power”
The biggest thing that Putin said was that India is no longer in a side-role in the world, but in a lead role. He praised India’s progress wholeheartedly. He said that the way India has handled its economy and proved its mettle in the world is praiseworthy. Simply put, Putin has accepted that “India’s time has come.”
2. Remembered old friends
In his speech, Putin made it clear that the relationship between Russia and India is not a ‘paper deal’. He said that our relations have been tested by time. No matter how the world changes, India and Russia have always had unwavering faith in each other. It is indeed a matter of pride for us Indians to hear this because it is difficult to find such loyal friends in today’s times.
3. Praise for Prime Minister Modi’s leadership
The whole world knows the ‘chemistry’ of Putin and PM Modi. Even during the banquet, Putin praised PM Modi’s tough decisions and his determination to take the country forward. He believes that only the right leadership has brought India to this height.
4. Promise of peace and future
Not only old things were discussed, dreams of the future were also discussed. Putin said that Russia wants India to progress further and will stand shoulder to shoulder with India in every difficulty.
What was the atmosphere like?
Just imagine, that light of Rashtrapati Bhavan, that royal style and the President of Russia smiling while listening to the Hindi translation of it. Putin was served special Indian dishes. It is reported that he liked the taste of Indian spices and food.
