Prime Minister Narendra Modi reacted to him after US President Donald Trump made positive comments on India-US relations. On this, Javed Ashraf, former Ambassador of India in France and Monaco, said that I think Prime Minister Modi has responded to President Trump’s talk very restrained, but positively. He said that the Prime Minister’s response shows the fact that there is no dispute on our behalf and now it is on America how he resolves it.

India-Us Reason being stated to be imported from Russian for tussle in relations- Ashraf

Former Ambassador of India Javed Ashraf said, ‘I think it is a very welcome step, because recent references like the end of India-Pakistan struggle or taking credit for it have been missing and now the entire focus is mainly focused on importing India’s crude oil from Russia, which has been described as the root cause of differences. So I think that today’s statement has gradually softened. We have seen something positive, but we still have to be optimistic expressing precautions because this is just the first step.

He said, ‘It has two things to pay special attention, first, President Trump is often accustomed to changing his thoughts and he too does this through social media. So we have to keep it in mind. This is a step to move forward. Second, we also have to obey that the tariff is still in force and we have to take this issue seriously, because the real test will be when we face this difficulty.

Prime Minister Modi gave a restrained reply on Trump’s remarks- Javed Ashraf

Ashraf said, ‘If we talk about the Indian side, then we have always made comments based on facts in this difficult period. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also responded to President Trump’s words in a really restrained and positive manner. The Prime Minister’s response shows the fact that there is no dispute from our side and now it is on America how it resolves it.

India always ready for talks- Ashraf

He said, ‘I think that now in America too, it is understanding that India will never compromise on its basic interests and will not accept any demand of America, which affects our national interest. When this understanding is completely sitting, then a more serious attitude will be revealed for us. As we have said earlier, we are always ready to talk. We have also given an ambitious proposal related to business to America. So now it is completely on America how it removes its internal differences with India.
