After Jaishankar’s address, a question period began for members of the Indian community. Without naming Rahul Gandhi, a member of the Indian community asked Jaishankar what he would like to say about the remarks made by someone in America. On this Jaishankar said- Look, I say that I can only speak for myself. I try not to do politics abroad when I go abroad. Explaining further, he also said that democratic culture has some collective responsibility like working for national interest and collective image.
