AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday, said India has to safeguard its geopolitical and economic interests amid China's continued aggression. He questioned India's neutrality in the face of Russia invading Ukraine, reminding of the implications of accepting it.
He tweeted on his Twitter account, There are several questions raised by the Ukraine crisis. We have to, first and foremost, safeguard our geopolitical and economic interests in an environment when China is occupying our territory in Ladakh and threatening us with more aggression.
"Do we wish to say that it is fine for a country’s sovereignty to be violated and its
territory to be captured by a bigger power? Do we realise the implications of accepting that argument in the Indian context? We are a member of Quad. China has called it an Asian NATO. After what is happening in Europe, we should realise the significance of that statement," tweeted Owaisi.
He added, "There are choices we made in foreign policy under the current government and we have to recognise their consequences. Economically, we depend on global trade and benefit from low crude prices. The decisions that we make today will affect the lives of millions of Indians. We can’t be blind to their interest and welfare".
