Jaishankar jibe at UNSC: Old club refusing to let go

THE UN Security Council is like an old club where there are a set of members who don't want to let go of the grip, said External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar here on Sunday while taking a dig at UNSC for denying India a permanent seat. "They want to keep control over the club, not very keen to admit more members, not too keen to have their practices questioned. It is in a way a human failing, but I think it's harming the world because on key issues confronting the world, the UN is getting less and less effective," he said.

The minister, however, expressed confidence that India will get the permanent seat as history is on its side.

Interacting with the delegates at a leadership summit of Rotary International (RI), The Rotary Institute, he said the world has over 200 countries that want reforms which the UN should have realised.
