As Sardar Patel demonstrated, realism must be our foundation of policy: EAM Jaishankar

At the Sardar Patel lecture on Governance organised by IC Centre for Governance, EAM S Jaishankar says, "Sardar Patel opposed to going to the United Nations. He had resisted this in the case of Junagarhn, Hyderabad. He was very clear that India shouldn't submit its issue to the judgement of the other powers. Sadly for all of us, his caution was disregarded...

Like any other neighbour, India would like to have good relations with Pakistan but not by overlooking cross-border terrorism. As Sardar Patel demonstrated, realism must be our foundation of policy."
