"The West has had a bad habit for a long time of commenting on others,” Jaishankar said in response to a question about statements made by the US and Germany.
“They somehow think it is some kind of God-given right. They will have to learn by experience that if they keep doing this, other people will also start commenting, and they will not like it when it happens. I see that happening,” the Indian minister added.
“You are inviting the people to comment on you. Then more and more people are tempted to comment. We also need to stop giving generous invitations to the world, saying there are problems in India, and [urging] America and the world [by saying], why are you standing by doing nothing? So if somebody from here goes and says 'Why are you standing by and saying nothing', they are obviously going to comment. Part of the problem is them, and part of the problem is us. And I think both need fixing," he added.
