Former Foreign Secretary of India Kanwal Sibal on Monday gave a befitting reply to Peter Navarro of America on the statement of ‘Brahmin’. Posting on his social media handle, he said that this is a new way of America to attack New Delhi. Sibal said that making India an issue by attacking India for purchasing Russian oil, there is also a new falling level according to the standard of Trump Administration. Sibal also questioned whether there is a caste system in public sector oil companies in India? Let us also tell you how former Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal has responded to America after the statement of Peter Navars.
Kanwal Sibal gave a befitting reply
He said in his post, ‘Brahmin? This is a new way of attack. The caste has been brought not only to completely irrelevantly, but also about the caste of those who are thinking about whom they are thinking about. This is a cruel attack. Public sector oil companies (PSUs) also bought a large amount of concessional russian oil in addition to private companies. Does PSU have any caste? that’s silly. Sibal, who has also been an ambassador to Russia.
He further said that he does not know that Rosneft is a 49.13 per cent stake in Nyara Energy. This is a very silly thing. Sibal also said that it is irrational to claim that buying Russian oil at concessional rates and selling refined products in domestic and international markets is against the interests of Indians. India implemented windfall tax on additional profits of energy companies on 1 July 2022. It was removed 30 months later in December 2024. Navaro is out of control.
What did Peter Navars gave the statement
Sibal’s remarks came after the statement of Peter Navaro, Trade Advisor of the White House, in which he said that “Brahmins” are making profiteering at the cost of Indian people. Navaro said in a new statement against India that I would just say that Indian people, please understand what is happening here. Brahmins are making profiteering at the cost of Indian people. We’ll have to stop this. He also said that he does not understand how Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a “world’s biggest democracy”, how Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are cooperating with Jinping.
For the last few days, Trump’s senior advisors have been continuously targeting India. When asked about the purchase of Russian oil by China and whether additional fees on India are enough for Putin’s strength, he said that it is fine, make it clear that India has a 50 percent fee right now, but China also has a slightly higher fee. So the question is, how much would you like to increase it without harming yourself?
