Salman Khurshid Meets Chinese Delegation: Congress Defends Courtesy Call Amid BJP Criticism

India Today's ace correspondent Mausmi Singh reports on the meeting between senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid and a Chinese Communist Party delegation, which was held earlier today as a courtesy call. According to Mausmi Singh, 'in the morning, Salman Khurshid, the former Foreign Affairs Minister, you know, who also heads the Foreign Affairs Department of the Congress, he met this delegation at the behest of the CPC, apparently as a goodwill gesture, as a courtesy call.' The meeting comes just hours after Congress's Pawan Khera criticised the BJP for their interaction with the same delegation, raising questions about consistency in Congress's approach. Mausmi Singh highlights that such diplomatic meetings are routine protocol when foreign political delegations visit India.
