Breaking: Jaishankar makes first comments on US sinking Iranian warship near India "There is a lot of social media debate. Please understand the reality of the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia (US base) has been here for 50 yrs..Indian Ocean is not only limited to regional countries"

Diego Garcia is 1500 miles away from Indian waters , who is he fooling ??

A foreign navy sank a ship that trained with India. In India’s ocean,with India’s president watching. Jaishankar’s response ? ‘There is a lot of social media debate.’ Sir- 80 people died. This is not a Twitter trend. This is not a debate. ‘Diego Garcia has been here 50 years.’ So has India’s silence. Apparently. The Indian Ocean- Is in the name. Not in the policy. World class telecons. World class condolence books. World class explanations for doing absolutely nothing. Jaishankar-the man who turned foreign policy into a masterclass in saying everything and meaning nothing. Sir- The ocean called. It wants its name back.

Akhand Bharat mein Indian Ocean nahi aata?

Peak shamelessness and cowardice. This guy doesn't speak for India.

Absolutely shameless. Can you imagine Rus & China make such pathetic statements? No. Because they have the capacity to guard their strategic backyard. We have slogans. But I get it. With this pathetic upgradation in Defense w/ no R&D & only 15 submarines u cant have self respect

This guy is compromised, all these guys with thier kids in the US need to be kicked out of govt.

There is absolute lack of even an intent to be a naval power in our own backyard. That is the nature of Indian administration. They'll always be in deep slumber until slapped in the face with reality. What is sad about this statement is that its a refusal to even a wakeup call.

Same surrender

We can't fight with China they are the bigger economy , same energy .

SPINELESS India has become a vassal state of United States under Modi. If Jai Shankar had any self respect, he would have resigned as Scott Bessent made a statement about, giving India 30 day "permission" to buy Russian OIL. India ignored distress call from Iranian frigate. US hunted one of the invited guest, and this spinless bastard couldn't even dare to release a statement of protest. Corruption has degraded Indian Military. Pakistan wiped the Sindoor off the face. At least 7 fighter jets fell without even leaving Indian territory. Tejas simply can't fly. US refuses to supply engine for Tejas. Other fighter jets keep falling out of the sky too.

#IRISDena script was written 5 years ago, last yr of Trump's first term, when US Deputy NSA Matt Pottinger said in India during the Raisina Dialogue 2020: "We've recently expanded our definition of the Indo-Pacific so that it now aligns with India's. Includes East Africa and Gulf: from California to Kilimanjaro." This wasn't just a map redraw, it reflected a strategic shift. On the Indian side, there was broad tacit agreement and welcome for this alignment. It effectively gave a mutual green light. US signaled it would now stay fully engaged militarily in the Indian Ocean (not just eastern Pacific) and India signaled it was comfortable with, and supportive of... this expanded US role as a balancing factor. #IRISDena #IranWar

There's a difference in the distance between Diego Garcia and where the Iranian ship was torpedoed vis a vis India. The Iranian take down was clearly within our sphere of influence as a blue water navy. This is coming from the same mantri who chants the word Vishwaguru every day.

Indirectly, the MEA minister said that India is no longer a net security provider in the IOR. Let them (US) capture the Indian Ocean. AandBhakts and Sanghi chintus have already disowned it! India’s sovereignty has been sold by the Modi government to the Trump administration.

This is guy is a joke, Djibouti is like 4000km away and Diego Garcia is like 2000km away! So US can control all from that far and we don't even care or control for few hundred kilometres frm our land surface? Wtf is evn he talking about? The question is about blasting your guest!

We were just pretending to be VISHguru.. You are the stupid ones to believe Fekuji Ka Parivaar..

What a turncoat!

Laser eye fooling Indians once again

What a shameless statement other hand we call guardian of the ocean....

So let’s stop jumping Indo Pacific, Indo Pacific and focus on Indian Ocean.

We're not gonna condemn a country who sank another country's war during an active war in intl waters because we would do the same. Pakistani ships regularly park themselves in Saudi ports to go out of reach of the Indian Navy. We will not set a precedent that will constrict us.

India has lost time and opportunity in building advanced military infrastructure and capability and world recognition as Global power by just focusing on Pakistan in last decade or so. It's a deliberate script created by the west and India has fallen trap to it. Pres. Trump frequent reference to India-Pak war last year is a chapter of that script it just cements the fact that we are tier 2 power in the same league as Pak.

Hypocrite party ever

India is double standard & hypocrite country . Who is invovled in proxy wars in Afgtn & in Pak to achieve its goals in the region & also to help Israel & USA in the war against Iran. India is also promoting terrorism in the region by funding terrorist organisations like BLA & TTP

He needs to resign. Don't know how he excelled in IFS and as a diplomat. He has no vision, spine and intellect.

Two sanghi jokers misleading the country.

This madarchod must be thrown out

unjustified attacks are unlawful and can be interpreted as acts of aggression against the flag state.. according to the UN Convention on the law of the sea.. @DrSJaishankar

You are servants, you responsible for citizen….

Make us understand EEZ... And US FONOP views

Another "china is a bigger economy" kinda comment

What to expect when CIA and Mossad agents are calling the shots.

But, those guests who came to our home, it was our responsibility that they reach home safe.

Indian Ocean is our "Zone of Influence". What is truly alarming is that we remained completely unaware of a #US Sub lurking in our immediate vicinity. They disowned IOR to save #Modi's image. They sure will disown #India 🇮🇳 for the same reasons. High time India disowned #BJP.

Everyone knows Indian Ocean doesn't belong to India or India should've protected the ship. Only problem being a guest killed while returning home deserves condolences. Is it that hard to be human & show sympathy ?

If your read between the lines he's saying sometime in the future Diego Garcia will have to be vacated as india kicks out other superpowers from indian ocean region.
