External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday said that the West has had a “bad habit” for a long time, of commenting on others, and it thinks it has a “God-given right” to speak about the internal matters of other countries.

He said this during a ‘Meet and Greet’ interaction organised by Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya and Bengaluru Central MP P C Mohan with over 500 young voters, joggers and visitors at Cubbon Park here. He was responding to a question on Germany and US’s remarks on the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as an MP.
