Double standards reality of global politics: Jaishankar calls out Western hypocrisy over Operation Sindoor

Luxembourg, Jan 7 (UNI) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday took a swipe at Western nations, criticising their double standards during India's Operation Sindoor in May 2025, while simultaneously emphasising the deepening partnership between India and Luxembourg.
While interacting with members of the Indian diaspora in Luxembourg, Jaishankar called out countries that was delivering lectures to India on regional tensions while ignoring violence and risks in their own regions.
"Sometimes you hear people say, like it happened during Operation Sindoor. Now if you ask them, say, oh really you're worried, why don't you look at your own region? And ask yourself, what are the levels of violence there, how much risks have been taken, how much worry the rest of us have about what you are doing. But that's the nature of the world. People, what they say is not what they do. And we have to accept it in that spirit as well," he said.
