Amid the ongoing diplomatic row between India and Maldives, Indian External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Monday said that "politics is politics," and there is no guarantee that every country will always support New Delhi. This is the foreign minister's first statement on the controversy, triggered after multiple Maldivian ministers made derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Lakshadweep. Jaishankar made the comments during the "Manthan" townhall meeting in Nagpur district of Maharashtra.
