External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday reacted to the statements made by former Congress President Rahul Gandhi at the Idea for India Conclave held recently in the United Kingdom. On the microblogging site, Twitter, the country’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar shared a video of Rahul Gandhi. In which Rahul Gandhi is saying that now the Indian Foreign Service has changed. “I was talking to some bureaucrats in Europe and they said that the IFS has completely changed and will not listen to anything – they are arrogant.
Now they tell us what orders they are getting, there is no conversation and you can’t.” To all these things, the country’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar gave a rational answer with sarcasm.
Yes, the Indian Foreign Service has changed.

Yes, they follow the orders of the Government.
Yes, they counter the arguments of others.
No, its not called Arrogance.
It is called Confidence.
And it is called defending National Interest. pic.twitter.com/eYynoKZDoW
Foreign services have changed in India, but External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar also agreed with Rahul Gandhi. He said that foreign services have changed in India, and this is true. “Yes because they follow the orders of the government. Yes, because they oppose the arguments of others. But it is not called arrogance, it is called self-confidence and it is called protecting the national interest.”
So at the same time, BJP has condemned the statement of Rahul Gandhi. Even before this, the Bharatiya Janata Party had condemned Rahul Gandhi’s statement abroad. According to BJP, Rahul Gandhi goes to Cambridge University seminar in London and maligns the image of the country. It has become a habit of Rahul Gandhi and Gandhi’s family that they have started making statements against Mother India while hating Modi Ji.
