What happened in connection with the UAE consulate in Kerala, should not have happened and the central government is aware of all the matters, said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, in a press conference.
There has been violation of protocol. Whether it is the government or diplomats, all are bound to follow the law. Things against it cannot be accepted. The truth will come out through the legal system, Jaishankar said. He also stated that he will not comment further as the matter is under the consideration of the court.
The BJP will gain more strength in Kerala, just like in other states. I have come to Kerala as part of understanding the effectiveness of the development activities, implemented by the Narendra Modi government in the country for the past eight years, at the local level.
The Modi government had to face numerous crises. Surviving the pandemic was a challenge. As much as within the country, India has tried to help its neighbours too. During the Spanish flu, many had starved to death. However, no such incident took place in the country during the pandemic. In every Cabinet meeting, the prime minister specially assessed the availability of food items.
India developed a vaccine and effectively combated Covid-19. We also helped other countries through Vaccine Maitri. The central government took all possible efforts to evacuate Indians stranded in Ukraine during the Russia-Ukraine war, Jaishankar said.
