"People Like Him Think...": Foreign Minister Tears Into George Soros Over PM Remarks

He said there was "a debate and conversation that we must have on democracy", including whose values defined a democracy as the world rebalanced and became less Euro Atlantic.
A day after Union Minister Smriti Irani blasted billionaire investor Geroge Soros for his remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, her colleague, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, has also hit out at the 92-year-old, calling him "old, rich, opinionated, and dangerous", and someone who "still thinks that his views should determine how the entire world works."
Addressing a session with Australian Minister Chris Brown at the Raisina@Sydney Dialogue, Mr Jaishankar said, "Mr Soros is an old, rich opinionated person sitting in New York who still thinks that his views should determine how the entire world works...such people actually invest resources in shaping narratives."
Mr Jaishnkar said 'people like him' think an election is good if the person they want to see, wins, and if the election throws up a different outcome, then they will say it is a flawed democracy.
"And the beauty is that all this is done under the pretence of advocacy of open society," the External Affairs Minister said.
