Indian Leader Criticizes US-India Relations, Citing Trust Deficit

Washington: Speaking at a high-level panel at the Hudson Institute in the US, RSS leader Ram Madhav has said in the US that "India stopped buying oil from Iran, stopped buying oil from Russia when the opposition criticized it too much, so what else does the US need?" Speaking at a high-level panel at the Hudson Institute in the US, Ram Madhav has given a befitting reply to the US and said, "There is a huge trust deficit today. We need to rebuild that trust." He pointed to the big change in people's thinking now compared to the earlier period of close political coordination. Meanwhile, former US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said, "This tension is much deeper than just disagreements over policies." He said, "It has hurt Indian friends very deeply, deeply." He added that "emotional and political reasons are affecting the thinking of both sides."
