America said it is ready to sell India as much oil as India wants.
Jaishankar’s reply was simple and ice cold. 🇮🇳
“If America puts America First, then India puts India First.”
India’s responsibility is to provide affordable and secure energy to 1.4 billion people.
Not to satisfy geopolitical pressure from any side.
Jaishankar also made another point very clear.
India’s ties with Russia are based on national interest, not third country approval.
If affordable and reliable oil comes from Russia, India will buy from Russia.
If better terms come from elsewhere, India will evaluate those too.
That is strategic autonomy.
No noise, No aggression, Just clarity.
Jaishankar said exactly what needed to be said. 🇮🇳
