External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar has been in the news recently after he made some remarks calling out Western media and their interest in the ongoing Indian elections. The Lok Sabha elections are one of the biggest elections taking place in the world currently and are being carried out in seven phases that will form the next government.
In the midst of this, the EAM called out Western media and how they are criticizing the Indian democracy and how they think they are actual political players in our election which is a misunderstanding they have.
