Telangana CM, K Chandrashekar Rao shared the stage with Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and lashed out at the Centre for the "faulty policies" including inflation and said the BJP is insensitive towards the needs of the state.
Speaking on the current border situation between India and China, Jaishankar said that a relationship cannot be a one-way street.
He has been given the honour “for conspicuous bravery in face of an enemy, exemplary leadership, astute professionalism and supreme sacrifice in the line of duty”.
The Indian spokesperson said External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has already emphasised in his meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi earlier this month that it was New Delhi's expectation that the Chinese side would work towards early resolution of the remaining issues along the LAC in Eastern Ladakh while fully abiding by bilateral agreements and protocols.
Responding to a question on US-India bilateral relations, he said, India is a democracy and is a great friend of the United States.
Both the countries are engaged in military and diplomatic deliberation to de-escalate the tense situation at the border areas.
This comes in the backdrop of India cutting its import dependence on China by half in the last financial year and also banning 59 Chinese apps including TikTok in a diplomatic response to the unprecedented Galwan valley clash on June 15.
The mutual agreement on disengagement came after a key phone call between Chinese Foreign Minister, State Councillor and Special Representative on the Sino-Indian Boundary Issue Wang Yi and Indian National Security Advisor and Special Representative Ajit Doval on Sunday.
The Indian and Chinese armies have been locked in a bitter standoff in multiple locations in eastern Ladakh for the last two months, and the tension escalated manifold after 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a violent clash in Galwan Valley on June 15.
