Replying to a question on the increasing "anti-India forces" back home, Jaishankar said, "My point is there are biases, there are efforts really, to determine..."
"Look, the more India goes its way and the people who believe that they were the custodians and the shapers of India lose ground in India the more actually, some of these debaters are gonna come outside," he added.
Speaking about the alleged misrepresentation of the pot boiling Kashmir issue, the External Affairs Minister said, "If there are Indian soldiers or Indian policemen who are abducted; If there are people working for the government, or citizens going about their business, who will lose their lives?"
"How often do you hear people talking about it; pronouncing it, in fact, look at the media coverage. What does the media cover? what does the media not cover?," he added.
