'India has right to defend against bad neighbours'

A neighbouring country cannot ask New Delhi to share water if it continues to spread terrorism in the country: Jaishankar

- 

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said India has every right to defend its people when it comes to "bad neighbours" and asserted that a neighbouring country cannot ask New Delhi to share water if it continues to spread terrorism in the country.

At the same time, he said with “good neighbours”, India invests, helps and shares, whether it was vaccines during Covid-19 pandemic, fuel and food support during the Ukraine conflict, or the $4 billion assistance to Sri Lanka during its financial crisis.
