In a series of statements, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar criticized former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for his stance on India's position relative to China, particularly in the context of India's bid for permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Jaishankar accused Nehru of prioritizing China over India, encapsulated in the phrase 'India second, China first', a sentiment he alleged was evident during debates on the UNSC membership. He further highlighted Nehru's dismissal of concerns raised by Sardar Patel regarding China, characterizing them as 'unnecessarily suspicious'. This critique comes amid a broader discussion on India's foreign policy and historical relations with China.
