Leave Political Spectacles Behind While Travelling Abroad: Vice President
NDTV
"Have you ever noticed a foreign dignitary or foreign national on a visit to this great democracy decrying or criticising his nation? The answer is an obvious no," said Vice President Jagdeep Dhankar.
Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday said people should leave their "political spectacles" behind while embarking on a foreign visit, in an apparent reference to a row over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks made during a recent visit to the United Kingdom.
Speaking at a World Homeopathy Day function here, Mr Dhankhar said as India lays the foundation for the centenary of its independence in 2047, every attempt that seeks to attack the country's dignity should be blunted.
"Have you ever noticed a foreign dignitary or foreign national on a visit to this great democracy decrying or criticising his nation? The answer is an obvious no. Why cannot we take pride in our scientists, health warriors and compliment our innovation?" Mr Dhankhar asked.
"Whenever we travel out of the country, we should leave our political spectacles behind. This will be beneficial for the country as well as the individual," he added.
