Galwan a Great Blow to our Prestige in the Neighbourhood, I grieve for India: Nirupama Rao

In an interview where she held back from criticizing the Prime Minister for his statement on friday night (“na koi wahan hamari seema mein ghus aaya hai”) and accepted the PMO’s edited version of what the PM said, former Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao has nonetheless been sharply critical of the government’s overall communication on the India-China situation. She said government communication must be “more precise and less ambiguous”. She added “every word is weighed carefully”. As she put it, its “masticated, there is no doubt about what is being said, there is no ambiguity”. However, what we have ended up with is “a compounding of confusion”. Mrs. Rao said she is very concerned about this.
