S Jaishankar Was Asked About India Taking Lead On Solar Power. He Said...

 India has nothing against talking, but it should, and has, led by example in its efforts to combat climate change, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said. In an exclusive interview with NDTV's Editor-in-Chief Sanjay Pugalia, the minister was asked about global "talk shops" and western countries lecturing India without knowing how the country is taking various steps, like being on the path to becoming the number one nation in the use of solar power. Mr Jaishankar said he agreed that there is, sometimes, too much talk in talk shops and people who lecture others don't practice what they preach. He said, however, that he is not against talking because debate and discussions are the way to take things forward.
