Addressing BJP workers at a Holi Milan programme in his Lok Sabha constituency of Lucknow, Singh said the approach and stand of the other countries on the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine were landing them in disputes. “…You will be happy to know that our political opponents in India and people of other countries are also appreciating our stand. You saw on TV that Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran saab too appreciated India’s role and our stand on the war between Russia and Ukraine. This is a matter of pride for all of us,” Singh said.
