2. What Chandrayaan and India-US ties have in common
An analogy
Jaishankar says…
The timing
Stress on continuity
- The India-US relationship is at an all-time high and the two nations have moved to a position where they see each other as very desirable, optimal and comfortable partners, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.
- Jaishankar stressed that like the
Chandrayaan — India’s space mission for the earth’s only natural satellite — bilateral ties will go to the moon and maybe even beyond.
- “There is one clear message today that our relationship is at an all-time high. But as they say in America, you ain't seen anything yet. So, we are going to take this relationship to a different level, to a different place,” he said at the largest-ever gathering of Indian-Americans at the
India House inWashington . - “And I can promise you that this relationship, like the Chandrayaan, will go to the moon, maybe even beyond.”
- Jaishankar’s comments have come against the backdrop of the chatter around Canada’s allegation that India was involved in the killing of a Khalistani extremist in that country — a charge dismissed by India as “absurd” and “motivated”.
- Some comments from top US officials urged India to “cooperate” with Canada to bring out the whole truth in the matter.
- Reports also suggested that Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau went public with this allegation only after the US shared an intelligence with its Five Eyes co-member on the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.
- Jaishankar also said the people remember Rajiv Gandhi's visit to the US in 1985, Manmohan Singh's visit in 2005 and PM Narendra Modi's several visits — a remark that is expected to soothe the nerves in the Congress party, which receives criticism from the BJP on all fronts.
- "But I have to say that this one [PM Modi's recent state visit] was different, it was different in optics, and if you ask me what has changed, I would say India and the US earlier used to deal with each other and now they work with each other," he said.
